Book Description
“The worst thing a customer can do is put the keys on the table and tell the mechanic, ‘Fix it.’ It’s like giving him a blank cheque.†—Lisa Christensen The latest book in The Clueless Series ™, Clueless About Cars, focuses on something near and dear and unnerving for many of us: car repair and maintenance. For most of us, cars rank second only to houses in terms of major life expenses. A car is a statement of independence, a symbol of social status or financial success, a way to get from point A to B. First and foremost though, a car is a significant investment. So it only makes sense that car owners should want to protect their investments and make sure that they get the most mileage – figuratively and literally—out of their cars. In Clueless About Cars Lisa Christensen, licensed mechanic and diagnostic specialist, helps those new to the car game and seasoned pros alike become familiar with their vehicles and learn how to care for them. In simple, informative and often hilarious language, Christensen acquaints readers with the fundamental systems of the car. She covers the basics of preventative maintenance and offers advice on how to make a preliminary diagnosis when something goes wrong (and it always does!). She also provides tips to help car owners talk to their mechanic, how to diagnose a car`s tics, tocs, and knocks and how to perform basic do-it-yourself repairs. For the novice driver who doesn’t know a hubcap from a gas cup, to the seasoned driver looking for a better sense of control, Clueless About Cars is a glove-box must!

Book Description
Silke, an easy-going German who prefers dodging problems to facing them, follows her job to the US when her bossy, longtime partner Alex refuses to start a family. Once in Texas, the cute blonde, who fixes medical analyzers for a living, is hit on by coworker Ana, a voluptuous and sexy Latina, who falls head over heels for her. Ana, formerly content with casual hook-ups, recognizes a good thing when she sees it and will do whatever it takes to win Silke. Still in love with Alex despite her shortcomings, Silke strings Ana along while at the same time getting increasingly chummy with her landlady, Lauren. The frumpy nurse is middle-aged and motherly, and best of all hetero, which makes her safe for Silke to hang out with. Or so she thinks. A kiss initiated by Lauren changes everything and they eventually become lovers. But Lauren has always struggled with putting herself first, and when her husband and daughter return home for the holidays, she resumes her wife-and-mother persona. Ana, on the other hand, is not only free, she is ready to start a family now and doggedly continues to pursue Silke. Of course there’s also still Alex, sophisticated as ever and used to getting what she wants, which is to keep Silke. Deceiving everybody and most of all herself, Silke procrastinates until being playful doesn’t cut it any longer. Can she take a stand and save the relationship with the one person who truly matters?
