Before Emily in Paris, there was Kim in NYC. Swap out Crazy Rich Asians for Crazy Broke Asians, lured by the city that never sleeps in search of their American dreams. Kim was ready to take a bite off the Big Apple, but the Big Apple decided to take a bite off her. This memoir showcases a SoHo-living, straight girl in an LG, sans the BTQA+ world. Kim's NYC adventure started in 2001, and she faced serious challenges. Everything from being a diamond runner to being laid off from her advertising job due to discrimination. She battled racism, gender bias, and xenophobia before 'Woke Culture' even had a name. She shares her colorful life, from her rooftop parties that attracted more than just party-goers to surprising romantic encounters and shocking revelations in the midst of a feminist sexual revolution. She gives the scoop on her brushes with the drug scene, the porn industry, and even her bond with a homeless man. Plus, she's got some juicy stories about dating a mysterious actor, surviving NYC's biggest blackout, and celebrity run-ins. This book is a shout-out to those who braved the Big Apple, fell through the cracks, but kept going. To her, it's not about success, it's about courage. This is a tale about finding your place in a new world, finding comfort amidst chaos, finding love, and getting stronger through setbacks and failures.

Book Description
BIG APPLE TO BAY STATE is the 5th book in the continuing series called “The Suppers Series”. It is a meticulously-crafted fictionalized, real-life-based story of the life journey of a naturalized American citizen who was earlier born into a polygamous African family of a father, with eight wives and forty six children. Dege the principal character was the 3rd of 46 children of his father and the first of the six children of his mother. The series eloquently narrates Dege’s years growing up, going to school, passing through an excruciating civil war, then medical school, and ultimately his immigration to the United States of America where he took up citizenship and was to literally start life anew. He initially, on his own volition, ministered to the best but most challenged of America, the finest men and women who had unfortunately lost their minds to Alzheimer’s disease and who had to be confined in a facility. However, a new horizon was to open up to this adventurous son of Africa from some seven thousand miles away from home as from the sunny West coast he relocated first to New York City and later to Massachusetts. Interlacing with matching poetry, Big Apple to Bay State narrates the joys and vicissitudes of urban New York City with its congestion, subways, 24 hour ceaseless buzz, and dazzling neon lights and the sharp contrasts for Dege as he and his wife relocate to a more remote, yet highly sophisticated Western Massachusetts community with multitudes of cooperating if not competing higher educational institutions. The adventure continues as the senior goes back to school and and finds fulfillment rehearsing many unfamiliar volumes of books. Eloquent and captivating stories meticulously crafted like no other, subtly persuading, subtly challenging; stories which glue the attention of the reader from the beginning to the end. Although a continuing series, each book in “the Suppers Series” can stand independent of the others as each tells a unique and captivating story. The earlier 4 books in “The Suppers Series” are "Suppers of Many Dishes part 1", "Suppers of Many Dishes Part 2", "Coming Late to America" and "A Spot to Perch".

Book Description
December 2001: Vince McMahon steps out of a snowy night into a diner in upstate New York for a meeting with old friend Phil Thomson, now a highly placed government official. Thomson has a strange proposition: creating a new covert black-ops group using the Superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment. The WWE's talented men and women are perfect. Highly skilled athletes with the ideal cover, they travel all across the country and the globe; no one would find it unusual to find them in a town one day and gone the next. The government would train and support the wrestlers in every way possible except one: no one must know the truth. March 2006: The Superstars have been handed their latest assignment -- take down a commercial-grade methyl-amphetamine plant that is bankrolling terrorist activities in Europe. Their mission seems simple and straightforward, until a member of their team is taken prisoner. Now all that they've worked so hard for is in jeopardy, and one of their own might be killed...

Book Description
'The moment I got my job at Virago in 1978 I knew it would be a long time before I would leave. I certainly wouldn't have had the brazen hope then-only twenty-five and very recently new to Britain-that I would ever become the Publisher, but I did know that I had found my home: where books, ideas, politics, imagination, feminism, and business was the air we breathed . . .' A Bite of the Apple is part-memoir, part history of Virago, and part thoughts on over forty years of feminist publishing. This is the story of how the authors and staff who, driven by passion, conviction and excitement, have made Virago Press one of the most important and influential English-language publishers in the world. Lennie Goodings has been with the iconic press founded by Carmen Callil almost since the start. First a publicist and then for over twenty years, publisher and editor, she has worked with extraordinary authors: Margaret Atwood, Marilynne Robinson, Sarah Waters, Linda Grant, Natasha Walter, Naomi Wolf and Maya Angelou among many others. Virago has been a life-changer for Lennie Goodings - but certainly not only for her. Following the chronology of the press and the enormous breadth of the Virago titles published over these years, she sets her story in the context of feminism, and segues into thoughts on editing, post-feminism, reading, breaking boundaries, and the Virago Modern Classics. Virago lives within the tension between idealism and pragmatism; between sisterhood and celebrity; between watching feminism wax and wane at the same time as knowing so many of the battles are still to be won. This book is about how it felt to be there. A Bite of the Apple is a celebration of writing, of publishing, and of reading.

Book Review August 2009-Manhattan Seeds of the Big Apple "A wonderful glimpse into the l7th century Dutch and Native Americans" " Saturday afternoon I began reading Manhattan Seeds of the Big Apple and finished the next evening! I couldn't put it down! It moves swiftly, is humorous (those pigs), is frightening (the Indian attack),is timely (moral issues, women issues & concerns with Tennake Waldron wisely planning how to adjust to governmental changes), has well developed, intriguing characters, and gives wonderful glimpse into not only the lives of Resolve and Tennake's and other Dutch and Native Americans, but also into my own French Huguenot ancestors. My ancestors, Jean Bodin and his wife, were first recorded as baptism witnesses at a Dutch Reformed Church, New York in 1677. He owned land on Statan Island and died there in 1694. Thank you for writing such a fascinating family. I can't wait to read the next books you have written! Keep writing! " Bonnie Shufelt -New York More information at www.authorgloriawaldronhukle.com In 1653, lower Manhattan was a Dutch community of about 120 houses, its people protected by a fort and a log wall which stood as a defense against Indian attacks. Today's Wall Street follows the line of that ancient plank wall. Sheriff Resolved Waldron, his wife, Tennake, and their three children lived at the present day crossing of Wall Street and Broadway. There along with them on Block B, across the street from the Dutch West India Company's enormous garden, resided Augustine Herrman, Peter Schaefbanck, the jailor, Hendrick Hendricksen, and Domine (clergy) Samuel Drisius. These were but a few of America's first immigrants. This is their story.
