Up in Flames

by Flamer, Paul
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781951503208 Authors Unite Publishing

When Paul Flamer was twenty-three years old, he met Jeffrey, a wealthy tech mogul who introduced this small-town boy from Texas to the finer things in life. Jeffrey whisked Paul away on international trips, bought him fancy cars and multiple houses - and eventually, a green diamond wedding ring. There was a dark side to this seeming fantasy, though. In addition to funding Paul's designer wardrobe, Jeffrey also financed his increasing dependence on drugs. Unable to come out to his judgmental family, Paul began living a double life: On one hand, the straitlaced, patriotic airman; on the other, a reckless party boy and billionaire's brat. Paul would lose Jeffrey, his money, his dignity, and very nearly his own life before he learned the true meaning of RuPaul's anthem, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"

Barnstorming through Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Austin, Las Vegas, Sydney, London, and Ramstein, Germany, UP IN FLAMES follows one man's around-the-world journey to reconcile addiction and ambition, religion and sexuality, and how sometimes the only way out may just be to burn it all down.

Man in the White Suit: The Stig, Le Mans, the Fast Lane, and Me
<p>When the Black Stig disappeared off the end of an aircraft carrier in 2003, we were introduced to The White Stig. Faster. Stranger. Harder to keep clean. And ever since, millions have wondered--who is the Man in the White Suit? They're about to find out.</p><p>Ben Collins caught the car the bug young, kicking his dad's boss in the balls for not giving him a company Jag. This was the attitude that eventually led him to spend seven years sharing a cabin with Jeremy Clarkson's underwear, James May's PhD thesis, and Richard Hammond's hairspray. Because he is the Stig.</p><p>Now he tells all about life inside the iconic white helmet. What it's like to guide a blind ex-RAF officer around the Top Gear track&#x3b; pit a drug dealer's Mitsubishi Evo against a Trojan tank&#x3b; set a Vauxhall Monara against Chloe the dancing Ninja&#x3b; and race double-decker Routemasters against bendy buses--not to mention all the inside stuff on how the show's amazing driving sequences are made.</p><p>He also reveals how he got to be there--setting a Dunsfold lap time faster than Michael Schumacher's. Breaking records with the best of the best at Daytona and Le Mans.</p><p>It's an awesome story, told by an amazing man.</p>
