‘Touching, insightful and human – this book demands a social and, above all, a political response’ Jon Snow Tamsen Courtenay spent two months speaking to people who live on London’s streets, the homeless and the destitute – people who feel they are invisible. With a camera and a cheap audio recorder, she listened as they chronicled their extraordinary lives, now being lived four feet below most Londoners, and she set about documenting their stories, which are transcribed in this book along with intimate photographic portraits. A builder, a soldier, a transgender woman, a child and an elderly couple are among those who describe the events that brought them to the lives they lead now. They speak of childhoods, careers and relationships; their strengths and weaknesses, dreams and regrets; all with humour and a startling honesty. Tamsen’s observations and remarkable experiences are threaded throughout. The astonishing people she met changed her for ever, as they became her heroes, people she grew to respect. You don’t have to go far to find these homegrown exiles: they’re at the bottom of your road. Have you ever wondered how they got there?

Luigi Francis Shorty Rossi, the tough-talking, fedora-wearing star of Animal Planet’s hit show Pit Boss, may stand only four feet tall but that hasn’t stopped him from living large, becoming a successful businessman and an outspoken advocate for pit bulls, the most misunderstood breed of dog in the world. A third generation dwarf, ex-gang member, and ex-con, Shorty knows what it’s like to be misunderstood and in this candid memoir, he shares his personal story for the first time. No one expected Shorty to live let alone succeed, and yet he has, overcoming every challenge, from an abusive home to the violent streets and gangs of South Central LA, to the notorious cell blocks of Folsom Prison where he was imprisoned for attempted murder. After 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days behind bars, Shorty gained his freedom and the chance to put his entrepreneurial and negotiation skills to the test. He cut the ribbon on his own business, Shortywood, with three goals: to turn his life around, act as a talent agent for little people and establish and fund charities that advocate for, rescue and place abandoned or abused pit bulls into safe homes. In the process, he became a reality-TV star. Now, with Hercules, his rescued pit bull and newly trained service dog by his side, Shorty continues to save pits from the basements and backyards of breeders and abusers while taking on new and even bigger challenges. And nothing is gonna stand in his way. Shorty Rossi is four feet tall—and rising.

Winner of the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature “Stunning.”—Newsweek With the same audacity with which John Steinbeck wrote about migrant worker conditions in The Grapes of Wrath and T.C. Boyle in The Tortilla Curtain, Viramontes presents a moving and powerful vision of the lives of the men, women, and children who endure a second-class existence and labor under dangerous conditions in California's fields. At the center of this powerful tale is Estrella, a girl about to cross the perilous border to womanhood. What she knows of life comes from her mother, who has survived abandonment by her husband in a land that treats her as if she were invisible, even though she and her children pick the crops of the farms that feed its people. But within Estrella, seeds of growth and change are stirring. And in the arms of Alejo, they burst into a full, fierce flower as she tastes the joy and pain of first love. Pushed to the margins of society, she learns to fight back and is able to help the young farmworker she loves when his ambitions and very life are threatened in a harvest of death. Infused with the beauty of the California landscape and shifting splendors of the passing seasons juxtaposed with the bleakness of poverty, this vividly imagined novel is worthy of the people it celebrates and whose story it tells so magnificently. The simple lyrical beauty of Viramontes' prose, her haunting use of image and metaphor, and the urgency of her themes all announce Under the Feat of Jesus as a landmark work of American fiction.

This is a true story. Brent and Jill actually exist, and this is the story of their first experiences. And how from there, Jill, master manipulator and evil genius, took Brent's foot fetish from sucking a few toes to places he never considered or wanted to go. Like the inside of Jill's toilet bowl. Or the bottom of her friends boots. How Jill, church girl, farm girl, seemingly the most innocent of women, created a game plan, a campaign, to make a helpless Brent her complete slave, and lovingly devoted slave at that. This book details her plan, step by step, taking Brent from foot play, to shoe and boot play, to water works, to the inside of her toilet bowl; eventually forcing Brent to truly believe and come to the realization he belonged on Jill's floor, under her feet. Read about Jill's campaign of humiliation; it's almost a handbook guiding the reader into developing their own slave, a guide book on how to take the foot fetishist into slavery, using just their sexual desires. Jill doesn't work, she has Brent for that. And when he's not at work, he's at home, working for Jill, cooking, cleaning, doing her laundry (sometimes in his mouth!!!). She owns him. He knows it.Jill is, without doubt, a genius, and no one knows it but her. And possibly Brent. Which is exactly how she wants it. If you love feet, this story will excite you, but will also warn you about how your fetish can be used against you if you aren't careful. If you're on the receiving end of foot love and want to develop it into slavery (and who doesn't want a slave?), this book will instruct you on how to do that too.However you take it, this book will illustrate a campaign of manipulation designed to lower a fetishist beyond sex, and into actual slavery. Jill hopes you enjoy it, comment on it, if only to take Brent's humiliation to a whole other level. She will be looking for your participation, likely reading those comments to Brent while he's in his place; on Jill's floor, under Jill's feet. And oh, one more thing, Jill really wants you to know there's actually a picture of her and Brent in the book. She insisted on it, and played Brent's horrified reaction into a vacation in Mexico if she didn't say which picture it was. She might be sipping on a margarita while Brent cleans her beach flip flops right now, who knows! Enjoy!!!Note: the paperback includes all three episodes currently available, the ebook version only two.Hello all! Something new for readers of the "Under Jill's Feet" books. We've created a Facebook group called Under Jill's Feet, where readers can ask Jill or Brent, or myself, questions about their lifestyle, the books, discuss fetishism, slavery, anything related to the topic.

This Cinderella goes from ashes to ashes in the new Victorian-era Fairy Tale Fatal Mystery by the author of Snow White Red-Handed . . . Variety hall actress Ophelia Flax’s plan to reunite her friend Prue with her estranged—and allegedly wealthy—mother, Henrietta, is met with a grim surprise. Not only is the marquise’s Paris mansion a mouse-infested ruin, but Henrietta has inexplicably vanished, leaving behind an evasive husband, two sinister stepsisters, and a bullet-riddled corpse in the pumpkin patch decked out in a ball gown and one glass slipper—a corpse that also happens to be a dead ringer for Prue. Strangely, no one at 15 rue Garenne seems concerned about who plugged this luckless Cinderella or why, so the investigation is left to Ophelia and Prue. It takes them through the labyrinthine maze of the Paris Opera, down the trail of a legendary fairy tale relic, into the confidence of a wily prince charmless, and makes them vulnerable to the secrets of a mysterious couturière with designs of her own on Prue’s ever-twisting family history.
