Author APG (Anthony Paul Gipson) loves acronyms. His book Acronyms Galore: The ABCs – A History of Topics with Timely Information and Funny Stories considers many aspects of life, spanning sports to TV shows, modern culture to health. The subjects are varied and timely, and project hilarious moments. Stories include: • Assets, WA (Wealth Accumulation) • Sports, QFB (Questionable Fan Behavior) • Housing, GBC (Ghost Buster Closet ) “Throughout this book, I discuss many acronyms regarding the area of health. Some include TBB (The Big B: Blessed), LTYB (Listening To Your Body),and TWC (The Wellness Community). When reading about these acronyms, a reader will learn more about the emotional, physical, and personal challenges I experienced regarding my health.” The author states he has “used acronyms a great part of my life.” He continues, “The purpose of this book is to have readers think, laugh, and take control of their lives.” “I want anyone who has experienced a medical setback, like me, to feel reassured that no matter what the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, we must continue to have the hope, the strength, and the desire to continue to live and enjoy life. Do not let mental or, even more so, physical scars from a surgery and/or treatment continue to make you feel ashamed, alone, and unworthy to live your life. You must decide with whom you want to share your personal triumphs.”

"Jodie Slaughter is must-buy author, and Bet on It is a perfect example of what makes her writing delicious. Aja and Walker’s story is hot, sweet, and utterly unique, with a rock-solid emotional core." - Talia Hibbert, New York Times bestselling author of Act Your Age, Eve Brown The first time Aja Owens encounters the man of her dreams, she’s having a panic attack in the frozen foods section of the Piggly Wiggly. The second time, he’s being introduced to her as her favorite bingo buddy’s semi-estranged grandson. From there, all it takes is one game for her to realize that he’s definitely going to be a problem. And if there’s anything she already has a surplus of, it’s problems. In Walker Abbott’s mind, there are only two worthwhile things in Greenbelt, South Carolina. The peach cobbler at his old favorite diner and his ailing grandmother. Dragging himself back after more than a decade away, he’s counting down the days until Gram heals and he can get back to his real life. Far away from the trauma inside of those city limits. Just when he thinks his plan is solid, enter Aja to shake everything up. A hastily made bingo-based sex pact is supposed to keep this...thing between them from getting out of hand. Especially when submitting to their feelings means disrupting their carefully balanced lives. But emotions are just like bingo callers—they refuse to be ignored. Jodie Slaughter's Bet on It is a heart-stoppingly fun, emotional romance that will have readers falling in love until long after the last page is turned. “Bet on It reads like the first rays of sun on your face after a long winter. I loved Aja and Walker's story about two genuinely good people who are playful and sweet to each other, helping one another heal, while also having incredibly hot sex. With standout portrayals of beautiful, generous friendships in addition to the love story, this is a book to be savored.” - Rosie Danan, author of The Intimacy Experiment and The Roommate
