The barstool. The pew of the working class. Warden of wishes. Steward of secrets. Custodian. Keeper. Protector. On it, the ordinary sit. Occasionally ... the extraordinary. When a world-class casino magnate from the Cayman Islands steps into Corky's Pub, he transforms the familiar into fantastic. Threading in and out of the lives of the rich and famous, tales of rock stars and the mafia are woven within the trials, anguish, and endurance of the average. This true story takes you on an incredible journey of friendship between an ordinary waitress and the wealthiest man in the world. Join the author on a page-turning ride of incredible highs with incredible hope into a world that exists only for the elite that will leave you wondering, "Is her new friend a Super-Hero or is he Satan? Is he here to save the world, or will hers be destroyed?" "Spinning on a Barstool has remained on the top 'Canadian Biographies Categories List' for over 15 weeks." - Amazon "Although this work is nonfiction, Toews' engaging writing style makes it read like a novel, with rich dialogue and grandiose storytelling that's full of plot twists" ----Kirkus Reviews"
Autorenporträt
Glenda Toews is beer's best seller. She can be found in a pub pouring pints, and serving a little bit of wit on the side with your fries. She has mastered the art of absorbing foul language from irate customers, and is eternally thankful when they have maintained control of their bodily fluids. Her writing skills range from the flourish of drink specials on a chalkboard sign to birthday letters for her grandchildren. She has been known for deviating from this platform to write opinion pieces for Facebook. When this Canadian author's computer is closed she can be found roasting bits of rib-eye over a fire, and walking through everything green with her husband, and their beagle in the place they love best, the Chilliwack River Valley.
