A century before Lance Armstrong captured headlines around the world by winning a record seventh consecutive Tour de France, another American dominated the world of competitive cycling. His name was Bobby Walthour, and in the early 1900s he was one of the world's most famous and highly paid athletes. Life in the Slipstream chronicles Walthour's rise from a lowly bicycle messenger in Georgia to a two-time national and international cycling champion who was nearly as popular in Paris and his adopted home of Berlin as he was in his hometown of Atlanta. His career parallels the surging popularity of the bicycle in America, and this biography depicts his life against the backdrop of the bicycle craze that swept America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Readers will experience the rough-and-tumble world of professional cycling at the turn of the twentieth century, where deadly accidents and illicit drugs were commonplace. During Walthour's long career, more than a dozen of his rivals were killed or permanently injured. He himself suffered multiple injuries—from fractured ribs and separated collarbones to mangled fingers and concussions—and was twice declared dead as a result of racing accidents. But Walthour's fortunes on the racing circuit ultimately took a dramatic turn for the worse when his personal life began to unravel because of drug abuse and an unhappy marriage that culminated in his attempted murder—by his own wife. Life in the Slipstream is an unforgettable account of the rise and fall of one of the greatest athletes of the twentieth century.

Where duty proves one hell of a four-letter word… To whom it may concern, It's time for me to run. I've always been kick-ass gal who never had to fight for necessities like most people of Earth in 2193 A.D. Born the only daughter to a career Space Marine officer, I was fortunate because opportunity placed an open doorway in my path at every turn. I rejuvenated hope on a planet ravaged from the perils of overpopulation by opening a wormhole...Not only did I stumble onto alien worlds and create even bigger nightmares the Global Bureaucracy fears I can't repair, but something about traveling through the wormhole makes people sick, forcing cybernetic implants--a technological band-aid--that doesn't set well with Earth huggers. The Global Bureaucracy must flag me both a savior and detriment to Earth. I would too given the skeletons in my closet feel like one of those unshakable repetitive bad dreams. But someone is murdering my scientific peers from the wormhole project and my bodyguards--men who are the only people keeping me rooted in this reality's countdown to the moment my last brain cell blows making it impossible to correct the technical glitch with wormhole travel. Ultimately, the trail of bodies can only mean one thing--the murderer is coming for me. I don't know what to run from--nightmares, memories, alien technology, or something caused by the wormhole's energy either in my brain or in my reality. And if this insanity can happen to me, how many earthlings who traveled through the wormhole will suffer as I have? So, I now run, unprotected by cybernetic implants, risking my life in stepping through the wormhole, heading to the crappiest Space Marine outpost in the galaxy to go into hiding, where my uncle, General Mad Axe, the outpost's commander, might be able to help me skirt the murderer long enough to correct the problem with wormholes before my body or my mind is irretrievably sucked back INTO THE SLIPSTREAM. Dr. Charlotte Barley Head scientist of The Quintet, the Wormhole Project P.S. If you managed to hack into my computer and you're reading this letter, I'm dead. Earth huggers are right. Do not travel by wormhole. Warning: multiple heroes and partners, a heroine who curses like a sailor, alien memories beyond her control, multiple 1st Person POVs Length: 79,000-word novel (312 pages if released in paperback) Genre: sci-fi/futuristic romantica Heat Level: HOT Editorial Reviews http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=779696841&group=0&frame_type=b&blog=3513852&link=aHR0cDovL2Jsb2cuc2toeWVtb25jcmllZi5 -Reviewer Holly "Slipstream builds into ménage like two male cats trying for the same in-heat feline. Nope, no were-animals but I don't know how else to describe it. Fitzroy and Laurel, a.k.a hunky uptight space Marines, are the two most unlikely on the planet to share a woman especially at the same time. Their interaction is funny, frustrating, and at times hotter than molten lava. Charlotte's sex dreams take this book from M/F/M to F/M/M/M... The "one-liners" in this story had me laughing out loud." http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=935529543&group=0&frame_type=b&blog=3513852&link=aHR0cDovL2Jsb2cuc2toeWVtb25jcmllZi5 -Reviewer Sherry "I quite liked this book! It was funny and engaging and it made me think — and in no way, shape or form am I a science or math person, but I actually understood quite a bit of what was going on here. Props to Moncrief for making it understandable. pleasantly surprised by the quality of the book and laughing out loud at the following quote: “Always be on your guard or you’ll wake up with an alien penis shoved up your ass…” http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=935529543&group=0&frame_type=b&blog=3513852&link=aHR0cDovL2Jsb2cuc2toeWVtb25jcmllZi5 -Reviewer Readaholic "My second ever read from Skhye Moncrief was a winner! I loved it. Humorous in spots and hot everywhere else. Slipstream was written well and the characters and plot were well developed." ~Readaholic Reviews http://erzabetsenchantments.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/slipstream-virtual-book-tour.html?zx=a81a258b59c7c32 - Reviewer Erzabet "The underlying plots are fantastic and there is never a dull moment technically nor sexually. The sleep sex is truly out of this world but the actual eye open sex events show tender moments, lust and a whole lot of good erotic fun. Doors are opened and exploration has not ended." ~Erzabet's Enchantments

How does a writer learn to write? For Tim Lewis, 27, the answer arrives in the form of Joy, an impossibly desirable, dreadlocked, passion-loving beauty. Fired from an L.A. inner-city teaching nightmare, Tim is catapulted to San Francisco to pursue a last ditch, secret dream to be a writer. But before he leaves, his father, dying of cancer and unhappy with Tim's decision, makes him promise: he must write something beautiful for his dad. But the man has roughly six months to live and nothing like a little pressure. In San Francisco, Tim meets Joy and discovers her odd quirk: if he conjures steamy tales with Joy as the erotic heroine, she gets hot and he gets to make love to her. The better the story the hotter she gets, and what more enticing motivation could a writer hope for? But he battles with Joy's impossible demands, her hipster friends, and struggles to stay afloat by coaching a near-hopeless collegiate cross-country team. Yet intimacy with Joy is mythic, and as Tim's deadline fast approaches, the story races to a surprising conclusion before the magical backdrop of San Francisco, and through the voice of a goofy, lovesick, and thoroughly overheated narrator who leaps effortlessly into lively, spontaneous storytelling.

Slipstream brilliantly illuminates the literary world of the latter half of the 20th century, as well as giving a highly personal insight into the life of Elizabeth Jane Howard, one of our most beloved British writers. 'This is a brave, absorbing and vulnerable book' – Guardian Elizabeth looks back over the course of her eventful life, providing a story of as full of love, passion and betrayal as her novels. Born in London in 1923, she was privately educated at home, moving on to short-lived careers as an actress and model, before writing her first acclaimed novel, The Beautiful Visit, in 1950. She has written many highly regarded novels, including Falling and After Julius. Her Cazalet Chronicles have become established as modern classics and were adapted for a major BBC television series and for BBC Radio 4. She has been married three times – firstly to Peter Scott, the naturalist and son of Captain Scott, and most famously and tempestuously to Kingsley Amis. It was Amis' son by another marriage, Martin, to whom she introduced the works of Jane Austen and ensured that he received the education that would be the grounding of his own literary career. Her closest friends have included some of the greatest writers and thinkers of the day: Laurie Lee, Arthur Koestler and Cecil Day-Lewis, among others. In this memoir, Elizabeth Jane Howard lays bare the slipstream of experience that has comprised her life – in the process, revealing her incredible adventures, wisdom and resilience. 'Her talent seemed so effervescent, so unstoppable, that there was no predicting where it might take her' – Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall

In Slipstream, Leslie Larson traces the intertwining paths of five characters as each struggles to stay afloat in the face of major setbacks, minor failures, and a reckless pursuit of elusive second chances. When Rudy loses his job cleaning jets at the airport, his sanity and his marriage threaten to follow. While his wife, Inez, secretly saves her pennies and plots an escape, his coworker Wylie, a bartender at LAX, is about to receive the surprise of his life. Meanwhile, Wylie’s brother, Logan, freshly released from jail, tries desperately to stay out of trouble while traipsing through a minefield of temptation. And Logan’s daughter Jewell is nursing a heart broken once by an unfaithful girlfriend and again by a father who can’t seem to stick around. Though they don’t know it, these five people are headed toward an explosive event that will have consequences for them all. Deftly weaving suspense, humor, and revelation, Slipstream is a rich human drama with the breathless pace of a thriller and the soul of classic noir.

Transrealist writing treats immediate perceptions in a fantastic way, according to science fiction writer and mathematician Rudy Rucker, who originated the term. In the expanded sense argued in this book, it also intensifies imaginative fiction by writing the fantastic from the standpoint of richly personalized experience. Transrealism is also related to slipstream writing, another category introduced into studies of speculative fiction to account for texts that seem to follow trajectories mapped by the huge body of science fiction accumulated in the last century, while retaining a central interest in traditional literary strategies. This book examines a variety of work from the transrealist perspective, something that has not been done previously. It emphasizes the texts of Philip K. Dick and Rucker himself, while it additionally engages the texts of such slipstream writers as Kurt Vonnegut, J.G. Ballard, and John Barth. It places its argument against the antihumanist trend in science fiction and builds comparisons with more traditional varieties of science fiction works.
