The collected works of Cleveland native, author/provocateur Joey Bauer, are now available on kindle at last. Treat yourself to some of best fun that you can still have with your clothes on in a red state. "Hollywood Raw" - a memoir - Movie stars caught with their pants down; teen idol tells all; "Married with Children" exposed ... Featured on the Montel Williams Show … “This book has everyone talking.” "Teen Angels" - a play – Kids at juvenile hall and an ally fight the power. Only the strong survive. Based on a true story "Skating Hollywood Blvd." - five plays about life in the Hollywood fast lane. "The biggest dreamers of all are drawn to Tinseltown like moths to a flame. Every guy you meet there has a headshot, a screenplay and a fantasy: scores the Porsche, wins the Oscar ten years running and pulls mad freaky starlet puss." "Mendy Berry, Jewish Cowboy" - a play - Baby boomers Mendy and Chunky, his black-and-proud sidekick, pledged loyalty until the end, and this is it. "Two Old Jews walk in a Deli" - a play - "You don't have to be Jewish to love matzo ball soup, but it wouldn't hurt." The story of two pals, corned beef sandwiches and a hot waitress with a big secret. "Two Guys from Cleveland" - a novel - Best friends fall for the same girl, who offers them a timeshare. "Cue the Sunset" - a play - Two boys have champagne tastes and Kool Aid budgets. They set out to seek their fortune with a liquor store cashier, the cops and a gun awaiting them at day's end. “Occupation Wiseguy” – a novel – A college boy is tapped by his uncle, a greatly feared mobster, to write his biography. It was a good day for a murder. Based on a true story
