Ride like hell and you'll get there - Paul Carter
The author of Don't Tell Mom I Work on the Rigs shares morenbsp;hugely entertaining stories of his seriously crazy, sometimes terrifying, always hilarious adventures nbsp; Paul Carter is still, well . . . Paul Carter. He's still risking his life performing daredevil acts likenbsp;trying to break speed records on unusually fueled vehicles, and he is still up to hijinks with hisnbsp;friends and a cast of complete strangers, both in Australia and in the U.S. Decidedly odd things seem to happen to Paul Carter (in this case falling through the floor of his own bathroom—don't ask). But, more importantly, he's still the funniest man in the bar and the nicest alpha male you'll ever meet as he rudely risks all for the sake of a good story.

Then it is Goths, dead drug addicts, witchcraft, a homeless boy and a missing girl and it seems she will never get those muffins cooked in time.
With flair, chutzpah and a talent for kneading, Corinna Chapman will find out who exactly is threatening her life and bake some beautiful bread.

Over the years, she and her father have uncovered many fabulous riches, but one treasure has always eluded them: Angelique’s Curse ‒ a jeweled amulet heavy with history, dark with legend, and tainted with blood. In order to find this precious artifact, the Beaumonts reluctantly form a partnership with salvagers Buck and Matthew Lassiter. Having to share this dream is more than Tate can bear, but she has little choice.
