AFTER MY OWN HEART
The course of true love never did run straight . . .
Evie Day has never wanted a boyfriend – she’s gay, out and proud,
and as far as she’s concerned, her life is perfect that way. But when
her girlfriend leaves her for a leggy blonde, everything changes – her
flat, her friends, her future – and she finds herself having feelings for
an old friend, who just happens to be a man. To say that things aren’t
turning out the way she planned is an understatement.
With her best friend Jamie’s Big Fat Gay Wedding looming on the
horizon, Evie struggles to choose between her ex, her old friend, a
new best friend in the form of a beautiful, chaotic burlesque artist,
and a grumpy but distracting new flatmate.
All she wants to do is find the One, but for Evie, thinking straight
never did come naturally . . .

THE INTERNATIONAL Founded on April 29, 2009 as a global governing body for
poker – a non-profit federation based on the same legal
FEDERATION OF POKER criteria and principles as those of other mainstream sports
– the International Federation of Poker (IFP) was established
in Lausanne, Switzerland, a venue symbolising international
sports cooperation.
The IFP serves as the governing body to which National Poker
Federations can affiliate. Its goal is the promotion of poker as
a Mind Sport played without any discrimination as to race, sex
or creed.
As well as organising major international tournaments, both
team and individual, the IFP will be working to standardise
tournament rules, as well as compiling international rankings
alongside each member-nation’s own national rankings. The
IFP will also draw together all the arguments, evidence and
testimony gathered around the world by national federations
or their equivalents which have been called upon to contest
restrictive laws or punitive taxation. A series of academic and
legal studies can be found in the IFP Library.

EXIT THROUGH THE WOUND
Maine Hudson has a high tolerance for pharmaceuticals and a low
tolerance for everything and everyone else. This includes his Greek
parents, who bankroll his glorious isolation in London.
This includes his career as a consultant, his clients, his boss, the
majority of his colleagues and people he sees on the way to work.
This includes the dumb model boyfriend of the American girl that he
has decided to fall in love with.
This includes her also.
When Maine fails to obliterate himself through drug overdoses, the
obsessive changing of his legal name and half-hearted thoughts of
suicide, it falls to his central nervous system to pick up the challenge
of trying to kill him off.
Can Maine survive with his lack of values intact?
