  The Book That (Almost) Got Me Fired  by Kelly James is now available in audiobook! #3 ON AMAZON'S LIST OF HOT NEW RELEASES FOR NEARLY A MONTH Book description: You're 52. Divorced. Single mom to a teenaged son and a tween daughter.

  Today's publisher's pride is  Travels with Elly  by Larry MacDonald, which reached #231   in travel with pets books. Book description: This nonfiction book views Canada from a personal perspective, similar to John Steinbeck's view of America in his 1960 book  Travels with Charley . The author travels from coast to coast in a trailer with his wife and pets, including their Standard Poodle, Elly, in order to gain a better understanding of his adopted country.
