"Fame Whore" tells the story of Tom Heaton, a drunken New York newspaperman, and Angie Roscelli, the fading Hollywood glamor girl he's fallen madlessly in love with. Angie, who is also being stalked by a Starbucks barista and Iraq War vet suffering from PTSD, must decide whether to send Tom back to the wife he left for her or live with the imperfect man who swept her off her feet. Set among the glitter and glitz of Manhattan, L.A. and Merida, Mexico, "Fame Whore" is a gripping, hard-hitting and provocative look at the commodification of celebrity in the second decade of 21st Century America.

In Managing at the Leading Edge, United Kingdom’s nonprofit expert Mike Hudson (a modern-day Alexis de Tocqueville) offers an outsider-looking-in guide to the management and governance of nonprofits in the United States. In this important book, he tackles three major questions: What are the leading-edge approaches to managing nonprofit organizations? What should managers and board members be doing differently to enhance the performance of their organizations? How can the impact of the nonprofit sector be significantly increased? Basing his interviews on face-to-face interviews with leading nonprofit CEOs, consultants, academics, and senior managers, Hudson shows what does and does not work in nonprofit organizations. He then distills the best practices from these organizations into practical advice and guidance. Managing at the Leading Edge presents Hudson’s thought-provoking, proven-in-practice agenda and shows nonprofit leaders how to: 
<ul>
<li>Build capacity within their organizations</li> <li>Manage organizational performance</li> <li>Create strategic alliances, both within and outside the nonprofit sector</li> <li>Make the most of changing patterns of funding</li> <li>Develop effective, mission-focused leadership</li> <li>Strengthen governance and board performance</li> </ul>
