In this "Divorce-How-To/How-Not-To," the reader discovers that as much as they may feel alone, they are experiencing the same indignities as many others. The author's own metamorphosis from a panicked "ex," to a person who successfully reinvented herself, provides an uplifting and damn funny flip side to a book also packed with critical advice on how to navigate the legal waters of divorce.

Sabine Kumar, a con-artist and cat burglar, returns to Delhi with a scheme to exact revenge on JJ Singh, her ex-partner and lover, who, five years prior, gave her up to the Indian police and cut a deal to save himself, sending her on the run. She sets her sights on the famous Barodan Necklace, created by the House of Richemont in Paris for the Maharajah of Barodan in 1920. The necklace mysteriously disappeared during the partition of India in 1947 and, now, more than seventy years later, has just as mysteriously reappeared. The necklace is to be worn by famous Bollywood actress, Priya Chopra, at a high-society Delhi party thrown by JJ for her and her new husband. Sabine plans to rob the necklace at the party and brings in Indi and Gema, a couple of old friends to execute the heist. But it goes wrong, and the necklace is out in the wind.

SAVAGE, A Journey through the Opioid Epidemic is a wild, wild ride of how one gifted young person, from a good home, got caught up in the drinking and drugging of our time, only to lose friends, to come near death himself, lose his education and shot at careers, a girl he loved, his family's hopes and respect, and then to lose faith that he could ever recover. At times funny, this book is a harrowing ordeal of how drugs and their allure will not let you go until it causes major havoc. Sacchi finally gets straight "sick and tired," as the expression goes, of the pain of not being who he really is, he stays straight. Full of compassion for those who stand by him, for friends who die from it, SAVAGE tells us more of what this addiction does than any statistic. Read it and weep and learn and bless all those who make it. Also enjoy Saachi's wit and eagle eye for all the antics he had to go through just to survive.

Memoirs

Things are not always as they seem, in a world where social labels and perceptions often define who we are, how we view each other. With a B.A. in sociology, and an M.A. in counseling, Samantha never thought she would find herself caught in between the cross hairs of media mayhem, as she defends herself, and her father, by dispelling social labels, and "fake news", when her sister marries a Duke, and a Royal fairy plummets from ''the tea towels". Samantha holds firmly over all perceptions, "plots" and "ultimatums". The truth is stranger than fiction.

Have you ever walked down the street and you suddenly stop in your tracks because you encounter a familiar fragrance? Perhaps a scent wafting in the air reminds you of the memory of your first kiss? Or the whiff of baby powder immediately takes you back to a beautiful newborn? Do the iconic perfumes of Chanel #5 and Shalimar remind you of your grandmother? This has happened to me several times where I live in Manhattan, and every now and again I will have an 'olfactive moment' and suddenly I smell an aroma that takes me back to my childhood in South Africa. This book is a compilation of my love of perfume and the answers given to the numerous questions asked by so many people who are fascinated by this marvelous subject, of how to choose it, where to wear it, and the many fragrance lovers I have met over the years whom I know will enjoy it. I hope you discover the magic and mystery of this extraordinary and powerful sense as you come with me on this fragrance journey.

Raymond Fortunato's stories have a kind of light existential theme, of how little moments in life can change everything. Many of the stories are faintly spiritual in that some connection gets made - either by a guru, a beaver, a priest, a smart grandfather - guiding the main character into new adventures and a greater knowledge of him or herself. All the stories involve a quest: to have passion in order to be a better writer, to fight for free speech, to save a co-worker who is unfairly targeted to lose their job, take a great risk to raise a vast amount of money for earthquake relief in Italy, repent a seemingly-righteous murder. The characters in Joyful, Sorrowful and Other Mysteries are imperfect and unconventional with an approach to life that can raise more questions than it answers. Nobody does the expected in these stores, and in some way, nobody is fearful of acting out their deepest selves. The stories are unpredictable and quite varied, but they share a common thread of people seeking accuracy in their life and to know what they are supposed to be doing. The characters likability and how and where they look for satisfaction is why we root for them as they work for they success.
