Live And Let Spy From her sensible shoes to her dating choices, bank officer Jenna Jarvis has always played it safe. But her fantasy life is a whole other story. And now Jenna's got a golden opportunity to play a real-life secret agent, courtesy of her generous best friend and a fantasy spy camp set smack dab in the red-hot center of the Arizona desert. . . The stay starts off with a bang--literally--as a car explodes to greet Jenna and her fellow covert trainees, each of whom have a spydentity based on an iconic undercover agent. But it's the real-life operatives who capture Jenna's attention, particularly super-buff ex-CIA agent-cum-instructor Torq Toricelli. Confidence boosted by playing a bold-as-brass hot babe, Jenna might just have a fighting chance with Torq--if she can make it through camp in once piece. . . A few near-misses have made it frighteningly clear that someone is taking this fantasy way too seriously. Jenna's mission: find out who's gunning for her fellow spies--and live to die another day. . .

Smart. Funny. Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.

The sweet taste of danger... Turning thirty wouldn't have been so bad, really, if Jenna Jarvis' life hadn't been so plain and ordinary, just like her. If she hadn't made all the sensible choices and played everything safe, including her love life. Her lottery-winning best friend is determined to fix all that. She sends Jenna off to a weeklong vacation at fantasy spy camp in the scorching Arizona desert with a makeover, a hot-pink bikini, and a cover she's warned not to blow. At camp, a car explosion greets Jenna and her fellow covert trainees--all under cover as iconic spies. When their super-hot instructor, former CIA agent Torq Toricelli, emerges from the smoke of the rubble, Jenna's reaction to him is anything but sensible. With her newfound confidence from playing the role of a beautiful secret agent, she might actually have a chance with him. Until a series of "accidents" and near misses make it frighteningly clear that someone is playing the spy game for real. Jenna has a new mission--find out who's targeting her fellow spies for elimination and make it out of spy camp alive. Readers are calling Spy Candy, "Clever, funny, unexpected." "Delightful."

If there's one thing that can ruin a vacation, it's running into your ex. Just ask Treflee Miller. If she'd only known that her husband Ty would be here in Hawaii—muscular, sun-bronzed, and infuriatingly gorgeous—she would have brought the divorce papers for him to sign. But life is full of surprises when you're married to a world-class spy... Ty Miller can understand why his wife is tired of playing Mrs. James Bond. He's never home, he's always on a mission, and he's usually surrounded by exotic informants. He has to admit that the perfect spy makes a pretty lousy husband. But for the sake of Ty's security and Treflee's safety, they can't blow his cover. Not here. Not now. Not when his longing is so strong, her lips so tempting—and his enemies so close...

Not long after the Allied victories in Europe and Japan, America's attention turned from world war to cold war. The perceived threat of communism had a definite and significant impact on all levels of American popular culture, from government propaganda films like Red Nightmare in Time magazine to Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. This work examines representations of anti-communist sentiment in American popular culture from the early fifties through the mid-sixties. The discussion covers television programs, films, novels, journalism, maps, memoirs, and other works that presented anti-communist ideology to millions of Americans and influenced their thinking about these controversial issues. It also points out the different strands of anti-communist rhetoric, such as liberal and countersubversive ones, that dominated popular culture in different media, and tells a much more complicated story about producers' and consumers' ideas about communism through close study of the cultural artifacts of the Cold War.
