“I’m not an addict!” Rock legend, Wild’s life is falling apart. The problem with fame and fortune is that you can’t trust anyone. Everyone wants a piece of him. They’re all stalkers! He fantasizes about finding his Elevator Girl - that kiss! He’d love to run into her again, but he didn’t even get her name...life is full of regrets.

The war of words at Wyndover College begins with a single shot: a taboo placed on the word “moist” to placate a first-year student who finds the word repulsive. But then, things escalate when an anonymous voice of opposition takes on the college’s strongly pro-student president and his latest innovative program to keep students happy.

Paul is good with books, logic, and statistics, but emotions? Not so much. He experienced betrayal as a child, and he vowed to never knowingly let it happen again. He built elaborate, protective barriers around his heart, against the dysfunction that is his family. He didn't see it coming when Rhees Williams came along, dragging her oversized duffel bag onto the deck of his scuba shop. He didn't see it coming when she appealed to his softer side. He didn't see it coming when she found her way into his heart.

Paul will do just about anything to keep Rhees from leaving the island - including making a deal he's not sure he can keep. In exchange for giving up his Coitus Club groupies, he'll lead everyone to believe she's the first girlfriend he's ever had. He doesn't know what it is that has him in awe of this cute all-around good girl, but inspires him to make some needed changes to his lifestyle. He's not even sure anyone can really change a lifetime of habit, circumstance, and genetics. You are who you are, of that he's sure. Isn't he?

Rhees isn't Paul's type, so why does she drive him so crazy, pressing his already foul temper to its limits? She's the biggest baby he's ever known, scared of her own shadow, and no one can really be that good at heart. He has too much fun goading her to drop the act and stop trying to make everyone believe she's a saint, but each time he breaks down a piece of that reserved facade of hers, he's amazed by how tough she really is.

When there is something you can't or won't do yourself, you get a bastard to do it for you. They are thieves, cheats, and murderers, loyal to nothing but the coin. Everyone knows that. Yet in war, payment in blood is more likely than payment in coin. Staegrim knows coins better than he knows people, and he isn't giving his life away for free. Not to the rebels, not for the lords, and not for all of the bloody coins in Rengas. But then... Everyone has a price.

The entries, drawn from topics like sports, politics, science and nature, provide the same kind of applicability to daily life that characterized Jesus' parables. It was part of the genius of Jesus' teaching that he spoke of things that were common aspects of his hearers' everyday life, such as agricultural images like sowing seed, or domestic ones like a lost coin or old and new wineskins. Your Photo on God's Fridge Door provides the 21st century listener with images to which he or she can more immediately relate.
