    "Disenchanted with his strained marriage and desperately delaying the overdue mortgage payments on his struggling car repair shop, expert mechanic Jude Layden has got more issues than Hot Rod. If only his stalled business had a jumpstart it could run on all cylinders. The wheels of fortune turn in Jude's favor when Miami millionaire Paco Roman shows interest in purchasing his pristine Chevy Bel Air, a family heirloom that could fetch a hefty sum, put his business back in the black, and give his wife, Margarita, and daughter, Chloe, a better life. Although he's reluctant to sell, Jude puts his Baltimore hometown in the Bel Air's rearview mirror and sets out for South Beach to seal the deal. But upon Jude's arrival with his shop sidekick, Hector, Paco throws a monkey wrench in the plans by curiously making his purchase contingent upon the Bel Air participating in two upcoming car shows-the first in South Beach, the other in Fort Myers. Jude's confusion and anger rises like the oppressive SoBe heat. He is anxious to get home to salvage the scraps of his marriage from the junkyard, but he desperately needs the money and commits to one last trip. He is clueless as to the arduous calamity and life-changing moment that await him." FLORIDA SUNBURN is a classic novel about how a hard-working American man, who is just trying to get ahead, experiences a fall from grace. Then, upon finding himself and his place in this world once again, commits to Christ and recommits to his family. Author, Teacher, and Mentor Michael W. Newman - "Newmie" - takes life freely with both hands and shares it generously with all others, as a gift given to him personally by Our Supreme Creator. With due respect always to Heaven above, as well as to other peeps still thankfully with us here on Earth below, Michael seeks to promote and live out the Scripture verse universally known and seen at many a sporting event: "For God so loved the world..." (John 3:16). Never relying on himself, yet being fully reliable and available to others as a fit, gentleman scholar, he expounds openly that the conundrums and confusions experienced by all the living are solvable by Faith & Good Deeds. Now, with enough grey hair to knit a fine Persian rug, he makes his home in Falls Church, Virginia with his lovely Peruvian wife, The Contessa Julia, their two omniscient (never obsequious) teens Emmannuela and Mikey, and the blessed presence of an un-pedigreed, untrainable, crazy dawg, Jack Daniels, which his family has in infinite wisdom happily chosen to crown supremely and place forthwith upon the family throne forever. Pax Dominus, Soldatos Christi! -mwn

    This book describes highlights, and the occasional lowlight, of Michael Newman's life. It will make you laugh, shudder and reflect. Newman takes you to far-flung places - Jamaica, America, South Africa, France and England - with a witty mind and a cross-cultural vision of the world. This is a personal memoir delighting in the inconsistencies of life. Among the highlights, he talks his way out of a mugging in Kingston, Jamaica, tells the world's longest joke in Covent Garden, joins a picket line of a clothing workers' strike in Johannesburg, and finds himself in Paris during the riots that swept across France in May 1968. Among the lowlights, he flies a car in north Pakistan and comes a social cropper in Dallas.

    New York City English is one of the most recognizable of US dialects, and research on it launched modern sociolinguistics. Yet the city's speech has never before received a comprehensive description and analysis. In this book, Michael Newman examines the differences and similarities among the ways English is spoken by the extraordinarily diverse population living in the NY dialect region. He uses data from a variety of sources including older dialectological accounts, classic and recent variationist studies, and original research on speakers from around the dialect region. All levels of language are explored including phonology, morphosyntax, lexicon, and discourse along with a history of English in the region. But this book provides far more than a dialectological and historical inventory of linguistic features. The forms used by different groups of New Yorkers are discussed in terms of their complex social meanings. Furthermore, Newman illustrates the varied forms of sociolinguistic significance with examples from the personal experiences of a variety of New Yorkers and includes links to sound files on the publisher's site and videos on YouTube. The result is a rigorous but accessible and compelling account of the English spoken in this great city.
