Nobody Likes a Quitter (and other reasons to avoid rehab): The Loaded Life of an Outlaw Booze Writer
A lot of people drink, but few do it for a living. Among those who do, nobody does it better, or worse, than Dan Dunn. One part infotainment, two parts desperate cry for help, Nobody Likes a Quitter chronicles Dunn's rise from Philly street kid to Aspen ski bum to lofty status as one of the world's most widely read wine and spirits writers. Along the way, readers learn what to drink, how to drink it, and why they should drink it while meeting the motley crew that shares Dunn's sauce-soaked ways: the degenerate roommate "Bottomfeeder," a string of women who populate Dunn's nights, a host of the famous and fabulously drunk, even the occasional appearance by Dunn's mentor, the great Hunter S. Thompson. A mosh-up of fact and well-oiled flights of fancy, Dunn's riotously funny story is destined to become the Bible of the 21st-Century Drinking Class. Along with hilarious yarns involving celebrities, hapless Hollywood agents and executives, porn-star neighbors, and expensive liquor company events, this bawdy barroom confession contains cocktail recipes, product reviews, and wine and liquor history, as well as profiles of some of the giants of the spirits industry. .

No Quitters Here: Quest for the Dome
If you ever played high school football, or had a brother or a son that played, you will enjoy reading, 'No Quitters Here.' It's a heart-warming story about high school football and the power of a dream. Players from this mid-Michigan high school would not compromise their goal to play in the Pontiac Silverdome; a place where dreams come true and State Championships are won. Their quest created a ten-year winning streak that was held together, at times, by a fine thread. But teams never quit as an invisible torch was passed from one season to the next. Read about their bizarre superstitions, accompanied by fears of jinxing their precious streak. Football helped players endure the tough times. Chapters are packed with emotion from the ultimate highs to the disappointing lows. Fans watched them play on Friday nights unaware of their serious challenges: mono, car accidents, broken bones, career ending surgeries, fathering babies, being busted for drinking, step-parents, no parents and parents that died. Players exposed their egos and developed a camaraderie that created a strong sense of family and painful good-byes. You'll laugh with them, cry with them, and come to understand how their high school football experience impacted their lives, as well as their futures..
