"I simply could not put it down-marvelous storytelling. This book makes you want more. Aside from being incredibly funny, S.D. Turner honors America's soldiers past and present. I could see A Soldier's Tale of Combating Hangovers being adapted into a mini-series."- MAJ Donald "Captain Hand-grenade" Vandergriff, MA, FRSA, US Army (Ret)A Soldier's Tale of Combating Hangovers: Debauchery Before the Internet is the funniest damn book you'll ever read about the military. S.D. Turner, in his debut memoir, brilliantly captures the mood and spirit of life in the early 1990s. After signing up for the Army's delayed entry program at sixteen years old, he found himself at Kentucky's Fort Knox a week after his eighteenth birthday. As a new recruit, the story starts with him running from irate drill sergeants and ends with him running from 1,800-pound angry bulls in the cobbled streets of Pamplona, Spain. Part One follows his 4-month training cycle where the recruits are at the hands of the drill sergeants and every torturous, but funny punishment they can dole out. Having come from a long line of service members, S.D. Turner breaks down the hysterical irony of it all in perfect fashion, as he masterfully puts the encoded world of the military into a language that civilians will understand and service members, young and old, will appreciate. It's a page-turner that will have you wanting more.Part(y) Two finds our author stationed in the beer capital of the world-Germany. As a newly minted soldier on his first night in Europe, he wasted no time in drinking too much, as he defiles a First Sergeant's boots with pizza and beer. Follow along as he finds his first experiences, like driving on the famed Autobahn, mostly-naked, in a 10-ton Army truck, and with an audience of French tourist buses, are usually down-right laughable. He guarantees you will look at soldiers in trucks very differently. Beer fests, an unauthorized weekend in Amsterdam, being chased by the German Polizei and Military Police in one night all happened before the advent and proof of the internet.Aside from being laugh-out-loud, the story, interestingly, is not all beer brawls and bull fights. The subtle theme is the author's reflective quality on character and the bonds of brotherhood that were developed, while their mostly innocent and youthful spirits soared in the moment. As WWII was less than a half-century removed, the rich European history they lived and breathed was not in the least lost on the author. S.D. Turner and company literally walked the hallowed footsteps of Patton at the Battle of the Bulge, slept in barracks still adorned with Swastikas, and hiked a section of the D-Day invasion. The humor is a constant throughout the book, but the subtle theme that every service member can appreciate, is the one quality that defines them as soldiers, airmen and airwomen, marines and sailors-adaptability in every situation. The author has seemingly pulled back the curtain into not only the past, but into a world about the military that few knew existed-the funnier side of all the guns, guts, and glory. America is wrought with warrior heroes, and having only combated hangovers in Europe, the author pays a fitting tribute to the humor of life as a soldier. Sit back and enjoy this hilarious and unbelievable journey and meet some of his closest brothers in the storyline, as they regularly hold reunions.

ONE NIGHT ON THE DOOR If you are looking for something different to most of the books written by doormen in the past, then this will be the read for you. The stories you will read in this book are about 22 years of working the door and all the bad, good and crazy scenarios I have witnessed or been involved in. They are funny stories of what goes on behind the scenes, working at venues and sometimes the after stories linked to working the door. There are no stories of violence; it's boring and has been done before, so it's about: Strip nights that have politicians up to no good. Off-duty police, and members of the legal profession from lawyers to barristers to judges being extremely naughty. World-famous athletes hammering the rave scene. Married couples, landlords, doormen, bar staff, waiters and waitresses and the privileged in society all up to 50 shades of no good. And awkward stories that could only happen to a doorman. If you like to laugh and enjoy mind-blowing short stories, this is for you.

From the bird's perspective, this tale unfolds as he recalls the day everything changed.'It was one of those scorching afternoons, the air thick and still. I was happily watching the little fish darting around in the pond of a house with a bright red door.

Una forma distinta de viajar.SINOPSISCinco relatos de viajes contados con mucho humor e ironía. Cinco crónicas de un tiempo en que los viajeros no transportaban una cámara digital con memoria para miles de fotos; ni tampoco un teléfono móvil con infinidad de funciones capaces de resolver cualquier imprevisto. El lector se sumergirá en un viaje iniciático, en pasajes que son pura aventura y recordará un hecho histórico sin precedentes acaecido a la vez que uno de estos periplos. Todos estos episodios ocurrieron mientras dejábamos el siglo XX atrás y empezábamos a vivir un cambio radical hacia un uso de la tecnología tan extremo que cambió la forma de viajar. Mientras llegábamos a ese punto, seguíamos mirando en un mapa, no usábamos el GPS y buscábamos una cabina para llamar a casa. Atrévete a revivir todas aquellas sensaciones con estos relatos; al fin y al cabo, "viajar es el dinero mejor invertido", ¿verdad?Biografía del autorNacido en Madrid en 1972, es Ingeniero Técnico en Informática de Sistemas por la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. En el terreno laboral ha formado parte en diversos proyectos informáticos para distintas compañías y el Ministerio de Defensa. A pesar de su formación y actividad dentro del terreno técnico, su pasión es la literatura, escribiendo diversos cuentos ("Feliz Navidad... o no") y relatos de viajes ("Los viajes del cambio de siglo"). En las Redes Sociales ha conseguido tener cierto eco gracias a su cuento "Amor de consultor informático" (publicado en la revista literaria Almiar el 18/08/2016) y la serie "Nostalgias Pretéritas". Sus obras más ambiciosas, hasta el momento, son la novela de aventuras "El Reino de los Malditos", la novela contemporánea sobre el mundo de la informática "Las sinergias de Marcio" y la novela romántico erótica "La Felicidad era esto".Fragmentos- (1) --En Tomar es obligado ver "La Ventana" -volvió el guía a su explicación inicial-. Aquí les voy a hacer que duden de una cosa que seguramente estudiaron en el colegio, porque en Tomar se hace un guiño a la historia, ¿saben? Verán, en esta ventana está Hércules justo debajo, luego hay un alcornoque y cuerdas... pero también hay alcachofas y uvas y otros productos traídos del nuevo mundo... ¿Y cómo es posible? Si todavía Colon no había llegado a América cuando se esculpió en la piedra esta ventana. Entonces, ¿quién descubrió América, los portugueses o los españoles?>- (2) --Toma, te doy 100 escudos -me dijo el guía, dándome la vuelta que habría de haber sido de 100 pesetas.-Pero eso es menos dinero que 100 pesetas... -respondí rápidamente, casi sin pensarlo.Hubo un silencio incómodo. Tal vez un cruce de miradas heladoras. Nadie le había afeado al guía este truco hasta ahora. Cobrar en pesetas y devolver en escudos. Un buen negocio, pero esta vez se había topado con dos tipos que, a pesar de ser jóvenes e inexpertos, y quizás algo inocentes, no eran ni tontos ni desconocedores de la matemática elemental. Y lo que es peor, no iban muy boyantes de presupuesto.>Libro traducido al ITALIANO y al PORTUGUÉS.Reportajes sobre el autor: Busca en Google "las sinergias de Marcio" en "ElConfidencial" o "Xataka".Y si quieres saber más, date una vuelta por https: //mariogarridoe.wixsite.com/elreinodelosmalditos/blog-1/categories/relatos-de-viajes
