DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This down-to-earth, funny memoir describes how a bullied fat kid from Melbourne evolved to become an award-winning, international television presenter and sports commentator. Michael Schiavello, the overweight son of an immigrant factory worker, was taunted and bullied at school and was told he'd never amount to anything. By his late teens he knew he only had two things going for him: his deep booming voice and a burning ambition to prove his critics wrong.Good Night Irene, a catch cry Michael would become well known for as a commentator, describes how Michael became one of the most highly sought after sports broadcasters on US cable networks, and relates many interesting stories about the people and celebrities he met along the way, including a gun-toting Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Diego Maradona, Hulk Hogan, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Wasim Akram, Dana White, Cathy Freeman and more. While pulling back the veil of sports commentary and peeking into the lives of some of the world's biggest celebrities, Good Night Irene also serves to inspire the uninspired and give hope and courage to those who struggle with being bullied. This book is proof that anyone with a dream, and the passion and devotion to work hard, can achieve that dream. Inspiring, moving and entertaining.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Condemned to spend his “Golden Years” cooped up in Sunset Nursing Home, 84-year-old Charlie Lambert refuses this ending for himself. With the help of an old sailing buddy living in Maine, Charlie plans to go AWOL permanently, buy a boat, and hit the high seas, where he will live out the remainder of his life on his own terms. Nothing ever goes quite as planned, though, and as Charlie heads towards Maine on a 46-foot sailboat, he strikes up an unexpected romance with Abigail, a woman decades his junior. Things take a darker turn, though, when he discovers a former FBI agent-turned-insurance-investigator hot on his trail. Agent Roberts has been hired to find out what happened to Charlie: bring him back if he’s alive, or determine he’s dead so his estranged sons can collect on his life insurance policy. Roberts doesn’t expect a fight from the old man, but that’s just what he gets. Because Charlie has no intention of ever returning to Sunset, whether in handcuffs or a pine box. Funny, heart-warming, and heart-breaking, That Good Night tells the story of a man who, rather than rail against going “gentle into that good night,” as Dylan Thomas wrote, instead wishes to simply sail into a sunset of his own choosing.
