Book excerpt: Money talks...but what does it tell us? One Crazy Bastard: The True Story of a Kansas City Hustler chronicles the messages one man heard and the shocking ways he responded. Early in life, money called PJ McGraw into action, urging him to do whatever it took to go from rags to riches. He dropped out of school-in seventh grade-and ran away to chase the buck across North America as a carnival worker and hustler. The next time money called, McGraw shifted into the adult entertainment industry, where he became entangled with gangsters, dealers, and corrupt government employees and eventually landed in jail for tax evasion. At this point, some folks would've ended the conversation, but not McGraw. He was willing to go the distance, no matter where it took him. And where exactly did it take him? Step inside this revealing romp to find out-and prepare to laugh, cry, and shake your head in disbelief. One Crazy Bastard is a sensational yet sincere set of autobiographical vignettes that will appeal to anyone who, like the author, has sidestepped convention to get ahead, as well as to readers interested in riveting personal accounts about roads less traveled.

So, I came up with an experiment to make me expand my dating horizons. I can only talk to men whose name begins with a certain letter of the alphabet. After I meet them, we hang out, and we might date for a short period of time, but if he’s not the one I move on to the next letter. It’s easy, and it leads me to meeting all kinds of new men until one night at the bar, a very sexy bartender discovers my little plan. The cocky bastard of a bartender is Nicolás Antonio Santiago, and he’s as gorgeous as his name. Enthusiastic, charming, and clever, Nic takes to my love life with interest and helps me with my pursuits. We become fast friends, and he whisks me on his wild adventures.
