Dispatches from Roy Kesey, an American Guy Married to a Peruvian Diplomat, Living in China

This is nonfiction.  I'll let the website's own description do the work: "Having spent the previous eight years living in Peru, where he married a beautiful diplomat (Lu) and sired two children (Chloe and Thomas), Roy Kesey...has moved to China where his wife will begin her first foreign assignment at the Peruvian embassy in Beijing."

The Letters of Gary Benchley, Rock Star 

The (fictional, but could-be-true) story of a recent college grad from upstate NY who moves to Brooklyn to become a rockstar.   I used to eagerly await the biweekly installments, but now Gary has stopped writing.  This is because his stories got so popular, they became a book, to be released September 27, and available for preorder now.  I am assuming this book will contain lots of new material.  Highly recommended.
