Eleven tales of sex and obsession:

Spunk Rat (noun) (Australian slang): An attractive person (usually male).

Horny Aussie spunk rat Steve is always on the prowl for other hot and horny men for rugged one-on-one sex and group action in his pursuit of the elixir of life: manjuice. These eleven short adventures see him take on a negligent Mauritian building worker, a young twink he picks up in the gutter, the hottest man in the universe, a wank caller when he’s trying desperately to get to the airport, a nubile young sex worker on a fire escape, a porn star in a San Francisco cinema, a trainee chef with more than time on his hands, a young drug addict he meets in a sex shop, a gondolier who has a unique method of extracting payment, and an exhibitionist he meets under a streetlight. But when he brings home the man of his dreams only to be rejected in favour of his boy friend, Steve is reduced to voyeurism.

How does relentlessly and certifiably cementing together collapsed freeways, splintering telephone polls, riverbed rocks, discarded Feather River mineshaft beams, neighbors’ ketchup bottles, and junk become a book about leadership, wisdom, and ethics?

Is this a phunny or serious book? Is it an old-fashioned template, camouflaged by stunts, whimsy, adventures, and childish beliefs, that can grow bigger, wiser people? Can pulling callous-building ropes, wrestling with thingamajigs, and raising barns build community and enlighten public and personal policies?

Come inside and discover.

Some years back, I started to think about writing a piece on "Aging Gracefully" and avoiding the hang-ups and no-good doers who seemed to be out there giving a large assist to the growing population of grey-haired adults marching down the path of diminishing capacities associated with aging, when a friend of mine asked for for advice. "How can this be?" she moaned, "I can't seem to remember things, I don't know where I put things, I am really worried: Is this the scourge of old age creeping up on me?" . . . This book is my sharp response: "No, " I definitely do not think you are losing it." The questions becomes more paramount as the "Silver Generation" enters into a world where the miracles of science, medicine and technology promise a life span never before seen in this age group-well into their 80's and 90's or more-and health as well! This book explores how to chart your own course, past panic and past outmoded social attitudes, cast off the nonsense and hogwash-and become a part of the a newly emerging Silver Generation of the 21st Century. Divided into two parts, Part I deals with the world as we know it debunking prevalent attitudes that attempt to keep those ''entering that age" anxious, panicked and planning for the inevitable, instead of planning for a life. Part II moves on to the wonderful new world awaiting, explores strengths, suggests treasure hunts along old and new pathways, and presents a new paradigm, exploring a unique Personal Retrieval System-within the self that can be accessed, retrieved and utilized for almost an entire lifetime. Aging with Dignity, Integrity & Spunk Intact can become the norm for those of The Silver Generation who are willing to reach for it, and a willing, too, to Age Defiantly!
