Close Me If You Can

The reason I wrote the book was to document all of the unusual experiences I had in my life, have others ever experienced what I have, I have questioned myself on numerous occasions about this, I have also questioned whether I should write this book, but in the end I felt it was important to do so. This book has many twists and turns and places where one can hopefully get lost in the moment while reading about my life. My hope is that in some small way this book may help people along the way.

Half a century ago, Filbert Bayi revolutionized how the middle-distance races were run. During that heyday of athletics competition, before pacers were hired to take the lead, the unheralded Tanzanian served as his own rabbit. The innovative Bayi set a blistering pace that dared formidable challengers from around the globe to 'catch me if you can.' After a singular career that included two world records and Olympic and Commonwealth Games medals, Bayi took the same assertive approach into post-racing life as an educator and sports administrator. He still embodies excellence in a school and foundation that bear his name as he strives to improve his country and community. In telling his long-awaited story, Bayi recounts hardships as well as enduring friendships with great rivals like John Walker. Over nearly 70 years, his experiences consistently reflect the three values he treasures most — sacrifice, commitment and confidence — setting an unforgettable example for anyone, anywhere, to follow.

Before judging, you must know the facts and background of the accused and his alleged wrongdoing. This book takes the reader on a journey back in time, walking the path he lived. The journey transcends country and cultural boundaries and includes mixing with Saudi royalty in the 1950s, a new life in the US in the late1960s and the UK from the 1970s. Senior career progression is impeded by invisible racial disharmony. Huge hills of fear and jealousy by others have to be navigated to achieve success, wealth and an enviable lifestyle. A return to England marked the start of unexpected and unforeseen degradation and conflict, which finally came to an end in 2009; but, at what cost? Once you have walked this path with him, you may be in a position to "Judge me if you can."

There are three things you need to know about Nellie Belanger: She hates apologizing. She loves exploring her sensuality. She absolutely does not want a serious relationship with anyone… extra emphasis on “one.” Which is why no one can ever find out about that one sizzling afternoon she spent in JP Marchand—aka her best friend’s brother’s—bedroom three years ago. After a chance encounter with her former professor, the semi-reserved and gorgeously attractive Ben, becomes unexpectedly steamy, Nellie thinks she’s in for the summer of a lifetime. But when she offends the wrong person with her joyfully promiscuous attitude, it looks like three years of irritatingly flirty attempts to get her to call him are going to pay off for JP. At least, until an ill-advised promise backfires and leaves her at odds with the one person who could ruin everything: her increasingly demanding and image-obsessed father. Kiss Me If You Can is a spicy new adult romance with both best friend’s brother and an age gap involving a teacher. It is part of the If You Can series. These spicy new adult romance novels follow Nellie Belanger, an unapologetically sensual college student, on her journey from bed to bed and features multiple love interests/spicy partners with no love triangles or cheating. While recommended for maximum enjoyment, the prequel novella The Boy Next Door does not need to be read to enjoy this first book in the series.
