Randy Rosen is a confirmed womanizer and proud of it. In his mind, females are more fun, subtle, imaginative, and braver than men. Truth be known, he would rather explore women's liminal and subliminal messages than sit in a smoky bar with a bunch of guys. Randy has not always been this way. He was once a shy honor student whose torrid teenage affair ended in catastrophic betrayal. Changed forever by his experience, Randy moves from college to build a successful, international business that allows him to travel worldwide and enjoy the biggest perk of all: meeting women as diverse as their countries. For many years, Randy pursues love and lust in some of the globe's most exciting cities: London, Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok, and even Tel Aviv. But as his body begins to age, Randy is left to wonder whether he can keep up the chase. From sexual antics in exotic bedrooms and boudoirs to the intimacy and trust of deep relationships, Womanizer is a rollicking tale of one man's adventures as he pursues--and is pursued by--women throughout the world.

He sits out of sight inside his mansion alongside his pet leopard, pulling the strings to bring together a handpicked team of extraordinary individualsÑdown-on-his-luck tabloid journalist Jack Gold, parapsychology researcher Donovan Caine, and Vanessa Van Helsing, granddaughter of DraculaÕs greatest foe. Known as the Night Force, the group fights evil whereverÑand wheneverÑBaron Winters sends them.

The American English Compendium is a fun way to explore the nuances of the English language—learn that a group of lions is called a pride; a group of whales, a pod; and a group of owls, a parliament. Distinguish between a quack and a shyster. Learn that “tabling a motion” in a U.S. court has an opposite meaning from the same term in England. This book picks up where other language dictionaries leave off: it includes common proverbs, a sampling of American English versus British English, popular American expressions and slang, acronyms, and varied information on everything from wildlife to currency. In this new edition, the staples have been updated and fresh chapters have been added, with information on pronunciation, oddball English words, and even some of the new Internet terminology, including Twitterspeak.
A smorgasbord of e-mail and Internet wit blended with humorous incidents from the author's wild and wooly life, sure to light up one's lonely moments and any social gathering.
