THAT ELVIS PRESLEY SURE GOT AROUND! Here's a tender sweet love story from one teen he favored.

LOVE BEADS FROM ELVIS: The Diary of Kathy Tatum
by Kathy Tatum, with Mark Baker

6" x 9", 152 pages $11.95

Kathy Tatum goes to Graceland like all the kids of her era, hoping for a glimpse of "The King." One of these times, with teens waving and shouting at whomever might emerge from the mansion, Kathy is chosen to go up to the house. This is only the beginning of a flirty love affair between a teen and her idol.

The author presents her tale direct from her diary kept during those times. This makes it extra fun to read because we all revert back to fifteen-sixteen as we walk in her footsteps, trying to go to school, trying to be normal, all the while, waiting for your next date with Elvis.

An instant best seller on Amazon, I'm sure anyone who reads Elvis-related material will enjoy this peek into one of his snuggly pals.

REVIEWERS NOTE: When searching for Elvis's girlfriends, I found that dozens of women have spent time with the King during his reign and they got very graphic in nature describing the love affairs. This book is written with innocence and tenderness. It is a safe, clean read that touches on the heavier petting, but is never vulgar or graphic. It really does read like she wrote it in her teens.

I AM A HOUSEHUSBAND - When the wife is the breadwinner, why not?

When the Shoe Never Fits: A Househusband's Memoir
by Mark Patrick Baker

6" x 9" softcover, 326 pages $12.98

Mark Patrick Baker had been an athletic and happy child, a United States Marine, and eventually married the woman he loved... who happened to be in Med School. When a bad (i.e. dangerous) babysitter incident on a particularly busy day occurred, Mark stayed home with the baby. And then he stayed home with the baby while they looked for a new sitter. It wasn't meant to be. Mark and his wife discovered that being happy and satisfied for their growing family meant the dad did all of the home stuff while the mom went into the workforce.
MARK THE HOUSEHUSBAND was born.

AND HE WAS GREAT AT IT!

Such a position was not at all common in the 1980's; often, Mark was the only man at parent-teacher meetings or chaperoning school functions. Many times, at social functions, doctor's wives looked down upon him, wondering if he was lazy or disabled, and it was Mark's strong conviction of what was best for his children that enabled him to handle it with a gracious amount of understanding.

This memoir describes many highs and lows of Mark's endeavors to be the best dad and house-husband that he could be.

Published posthumously; the author and his wife passed tragically the very day the galley proof of the finished book arrived at his home. We thank God that his children were able to receive this memoir in his memory. Our prayers go out to his family for he was truly a wonderful father, husband, and friend. ~ signed, the Publisher
