“Where is Jason? They said he was coming.” Amy stood up from her bed and went to look out the blacked-out windows. “Wow. Look at the media circus…he has to be here.”Tomorrow, November 28, 2012, both Spinster and Please Do Not Touch the Talent will be free on the Kindle platform.

“Amy… I wouldn’t get my hopes up okay…you know they,” I searched, “He has a very intense shoot for Murder for Murder in Greece. You know they won’t let him go.” I smiled feebly. We both knew he wasn’t coming for other reasons. Like, for starters, he doesn’t love you.
“Well…he’ll call. I’m sure he’ll want to talk to me—to make sure I’m alright.” She looked at the floor. “They said he left as soon as I was placed in the ambulance. And I’m already getting movie deals! I got a one today.”
“Really,” I asked suspiciously, “What is it called?”
“Knee Deep!” She chimed, “It’s about this guy who just gets released from jail and his son is kidnapped. I’m going to play RayRay. I’m kind of like his sidekick/lover!”
I nodded. “Amy, that sounds like Waist Deep.”
“Nobody will know.” She replied, “That was so long ago and it’ll really help me with the black community! Don’t you like it?”
“Amy, if I liked it I would have brought it to you.” I said, working to even my tone. “I want you to feel better,” I replied, “That’s what I would like.” I would also like for you to stop attempting to do my job. You can barely do yours. Amy was always bringing me shit pitches or projects. The last time she decided to direct her career was when The CW or one of those stupid teen stations was adapting a bunch of Disney and Comic Book themed shows. Apparently, some genius got it in their head to adapt The Little Mermaid for television and dubbed it Under the Sea, about a hotshot Coast Guard Detective—and previous Abercrombie and Fitch shirtless spritzer-manikin—who teams up with a magical underwater breathing runway model (the role Amy dubbed her “Pretty Woman breakthrough performance”) to investigate nautical based crimes. I wasn’t a smoker, but I lit a cigarette, puffed it until my lungs were tar black and then chucked it and the script into a trashcan of lighter fluid.
“A watch is a private piece of art. Not only does it embody the skill of the artisan who created it, but it is an expression of the owner’s style. In this day and age, with all the technology surrounding us, all we truly need on our wrist is a watch that tells time. Often less is more when it comes to a timepiece’s design and wearing a watch allows you to appreciate esthetic qualities as well as function and technical reliability. I have a tactile relationship with my watches and I appreciate the elegant faces and quality leather straps. Timepieces set the rhythm of my life, but they remain above all, pieces of jewelry with which I develop a genuine connection. I wear a watch because it is an object that conveys some of my most precious values; the connection between art and technology.” -- Martine Ilana, founder

Jane is stuck in a perpetual rut, and she’s not sure if she put herself there or if she was ever in another state to begin with. Her family worries she’s a closeted lesbian (and can’t express herself to them) — or so she believes — and she’s only ever had a relationship with the high school lothario, if you could even call it that. Now she’s stuck planning his wedding, dodging the nitwits she was “friends” with in school and contending with her new “more than just cute” boss (freshly imported from England) and all too willing to inadvertently remind her that she may be a Spinster.
Paul van Zyl spent over 20 years working in human rights and transitional justice, first under Archbishop Desmond Tutu as the Executive Secretary of South Africa's Truth Commission and then as the Co-Founder of the International Center for Transitional Justice. After winning the Skoll award for social entrepreneurship and attending the World Economic Forum at Davos, Paul met Daniel Lubetzky, a pioneer in using business to promote peace. They decide to co-found a company that would use the power of the market to allocate capital to peace. Their hypothesis was that if they could source from and grow companies that had a stabilizing effect on their communities, they would be on their way. Paul and Daniel believed that a fashion brand held the greatest opportunity, and the idea for what is now Maiyet was born.
