ANARCHY

HELEN LARDER

ONLYWOMEN PRESS

British author Helen Larder used her experiences of teaching in “difficult inner-city surroundings” to write this tale of a teenage girl called Anarchy who arrives at a failing school where teachers fear for their jobs and the pupils are despondent about their education.

Anarchy is the rebel who’s not afraid to challenge the status quo, much to the surprise and sometimes consternation of shy girl Breeze and cool guy Ethan.

While the book is aimed at a teenage audience, all ages will recognise the universal theme of the struggle to find your way through high school.

HUNTING WITH BARRACUDAS

CHRIS SNYDER

SKYHORSE PUBLISHING

Ever wondered what it’s like to work for a legendary talent agent in Hollywood?

Chris Snyder reveals all in this memoir of his time as assistant for the late Iris Burton, a camp old duck by all accounts, prone to temper tantrums, exhibitionism and narcissism.

Snyder bears witness to the early careers of such stars as Drew Barrymore and Kirsten Dunst, as well as the downfall of River Phoenix who ended up dead from a drugs overdose.

Aside from the celebrity dramas, Snyder struggles with coming to terms with his homosexuality, the long working hours and massive headaches brought on by the stress of it all.
