The second volume of the extraordinary life of the great music and literary icon Leonard Cohen, in the words of those who knew him best. Poet, novelist, singer-songwriter, artist, prophet, icon—there has never been a figure like Leonard Cohen. He was a true giant in contemporary western culture, entertaining and inspiring the world with his work. From his groundbreaking and bestselling novels, The Favourite Game and Beautiful Losers, to timeless songs such as “Suzanne,” “Dance Me to the End of Love,” and “Hallelujah,” Cohen is one of the world’s most cherished artists. His death in 2016 was felt around the world by the many fans and followers who would miss his warmth, humour, intellect, and piercing insights. Leonard Cohen, Untold Stories chronicles the full breadth of his extraordinary life. This second of three volumes—From This Broken Hill—follows him from the conclusion of his first international music tour in 1971 as he continued to compose poetry, record music, and search for meaning into the late 1980s. The book explores his decade-long relationships with Suzanne Elrod, with whom he had two children, and various other numerous romantic partners, including the beginning of his long relationship with French photographer Dominique Issermann and, simultaneously, a five-year relationship with a woman never previously identified. It is a challenging time for Cohen. His personal life is in chaos and his career stumbles, so much so that his 1984 album, Various Positions, is rejected by Columbia Records, while other artistic endeavours fail to find an audience. However, this period also marks the start of his forty-year immersion in Zen Buddhism, which would connect him to the legendary Zen master Joshu Sasaki Roshi and inspire some of his most profound and enduring art. In From This Broken Hill, bestselling author and biographer Michael Posner draws on hundreds of interviews to reach beyond the Cohen of myth and reveal the unique, complex, and compelling figure of the real man. Honest and entertaining, this is a must-have book for any Cohen fan.

Mrs. Millionaire Short Story Book Series Volume 2 is a collection of fictional stories. Each story focuses on an unlucky family or individual who crosses paths with Mrs. Millionaire. We’ve all met people who have made significant life changes and overcome adversity, but only a few have gone through such a remarkable transformation. With so many stories of hope, encouragement, and life lessons to be learned, it only takes one to make a difference. Wild child. Reckless youth. Unruly. Obstinate. Matilde Jane Parker, or Tilly to her family and friends, is best known for her rebellious personality and reputation as a party girl. She is the daughter of a wealthy industrialist and grew up as an heiress and socialite in an upper-class family. She is intelligent and headstrong, but despises school and everything it stands for, although she performs admirably with little effort. Tilly enjoys causing mischief, and her out-of-control behavior worsens as she gets older. Tilly meets Dusty, the man of her dreams, and learns for the first time in her life what it means to give in and when to walk away from a relationship. Because of this experience, she gains a newfound appreciation for her family. Unfortunately, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, it turned her entire world upside down. Her parents were killed in a car accident. She resents being forced to mature to take over their family business, and she still feels this way after many years. Then, one day, a traumatic event changes her perception of herself. Someone attacked her in the underground parking lot of her building. Thankful for a stranger saving her, it has changed her outlook on life and helped her become a better person. Rather than living her life as a victim, she uses her power and wealth to help those who cannot defend themselves. Tilly finds herself in various situations and occasionally works as an amateur detective who helps people in need solve the problems she is involved in. This story depicts Matilde’s transformation from a troubled adolescent to a philanthropist. Nobody could have predicted that one day she would become a superhero without a mask or costume, assisting the poor, the homeless, and abandoned children.
