Freedom’s Just Another Word
Twelve steps to freedom: a break-out debut novel of biker and other chicks, medicine wheels and a roundabout journey of the self.
Maggie Hoffer has just been picked up for murder one in the shooting death of Mongrel, her drug-dealing, biker husband. Only Maggie says Mongrel actually shot himself, despondent over the fact that he could no longer ride his Harley. Now Maggie's in prison, awaiting trial, and the verdict that will likely keep her behind bars for a very long time.
Desperate for her freedom and still on the run from the truth and the hurts that have driven her life, Maggie hooks up with Big Dee, a black woman as big as a stand-up freezer and Maggie's cell – and soon to be – soul-mate. Joined by Sam and Darlene, the lesbians next door, Stella, an Indian woman whose tough exterior belies her own mystical wisdom, and Chan, a young Chinese girl whose English skills aren't nearly as good as her talent for manufacturing fake i.d., the women form “Freedom Anonymous,” a hilarious twist on a twelve-step recovery program. “F.A.” is just a cover so they can plan their escape, but the program becomes a break-out to an important journey of self-discovery as the convicts make their escape and head out across the country.
A strikingly original first novel that is entertaining, funny and poignant, resonant with difficult truths that we all must confront, Freedom's Just Another Word possesses a terrific blend of commercial and literary appeal. Complete with unique recipes – “Lou's Fire Eater Funeral Chili Pot” – the prophecies of the Tarot cards and the teachings of ancient native wisdom, this is a wonderfully rich reading
Riding in the Zone: Guide to Increasing Your Riding Confidence
Riding motorcycles is fun but Ken Condon maintains there is a state of being beyond the simple pleasure of rolling down the road, this book was written to help other riders find that state of being. It's the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your mind becomes silent to the chatter of daily life and everyday problems seem to dissolve, you feel a deeper appreciation for life. Your body responds to this state of being with precise, fluid movements, you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of mastery. This is "the Zone." Condon has identified all the factors that affect entering the Zone and addresses each one individually, from the development of awareness and mental skills to mastering physical control of the motorcycle. At the end of each chapter are drills designed to transform the book's ideas into solid riding skills. A companion DVD is included to demonstrate each concept and technique.
