Chauffeur Carol Shedrick stepped out of her limo on a busy street on a Saturday night. She was ready to open the back door and let out her neighbors and their friends who had asked her to take them out for a night on the town. Suddenly Mr. Neighbor thrust open the rear door of the limousine, and Shedrick stared in shock. In the back of her limo sat six naked people, including her neighbors. As a chauffeur for many years, Shedrick often drove for celebrities and government officials from America as well as other countries. In "I Swear I Wasn't Listening!", she shares the most interesting, touching, and hilarious true stories from the regular, everyday clients to those who were celebrating special events in their lives from the back of her limousine. Shedrick will have you laughing at the antics of crazy women and a birthday party for a ninety-year-old grandfather, and her poignant description of a marriage proposal on a cliff high above town will tug at your heartstrings. Whether you are a Don Juan wannabe who wants to charm your lady or a group of friends out for a good time, remember your chauffeur just might be trying not to listen!

“If words have the power to heal, this book is the perfect medicine” (Alex Howard). “Honest and heartfelt poetry, telling a story that needs to be heard” (Steven Camden, Polarbear). This beautiful book takes you on a poetic journey through the wilderness of CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia. Each poem is a little window into her soul. Charlotte Jones bares all in this inspirational story of hope and healing. These poems not only cover the pain and despair of living with such a debilitating illness but also highlight the joy, love, peace, and acceptance she finds along the way. When dealing with extreme emotions, words repeat rhythmically in Charlotte’s head over and over, until she releases them onto the page in the form of poetry. This has resulted in a raw, heartwarmingly honest, and sometimes humorous insight into the life of someone with CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia. By sharing her story, Charlotte hopes to help tackle the loneliness of those in its grasp, give those around them an insight into their journey, and raise awareness of the illness. “I laughed out loud and had tears streaming down my face all at the same time.” “I felt so connected to it.” “At last, a book that really helped me understand.” “A beautiful read, capturing the daily life of CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia with passion and honesty.” “A courageous book, written from the soul.”
