After years underground Doctor Owen Orient returns to confront a global conspiracy fueled by two massively powerful occult artifacts: The Spear of Destiny, a mystical weapon of dictators from Charlemagne to Hitler, and the Grimoire of Honorious, the handwritten book of ancient spells compiled by the most evil practitioner of the dark arts in history, Pope Honorious III. Doctor Orient, physician and psychic, and Moe Klein, FBI art expert are drawn into a bloody storm of serial murder and kidnapping that sweeps them from Manhattan to Marrakech -- to a Nazi enclave deep in the Amazon jungle where Josef Mengele, Martin Bormann and Aribert Heim (Doctor Death) continue their inhuman experiments seeking immortality--and the spawning of a New Reich whose temple will be the Vatican itself...

Rick Lupert's The Gettysburg Undress is a delightful romp through the museums and tourist attractions of the mid-Atlantic States. I found it more believable than Steinbeck's Travels with Charlie. His wife, Addie, is a more interesting personality by far than a poodle. His observations are written in a minimalist style which is a cross between Basho and Brautigan. Each poem is a tiny masterpiece. Some poems, like "Animal Hospital," strike a ghostly chord. His humor is inclusive, making the reader part of the mission - to bring the fun back to poetry by entertaining the heck out of you, plus making you think about the world.

"Famous People Who've Met Me" is an outrageous collection of true stories starring oddball characters, behind the scenes gurus, scoundrels, and brilliant superstars in the music business straight out of Minnesota.

In her debut memoir, MOTHER LOAD, Wendy Adamson shared her story of landing in county jail after shooting her husband's mistress and ultimately finding freedom from addiction. Her latest book, INCORRIGIBLE, acts as a prequel, taking us back to growing up with a mom who was a regular in the state mental hospital, only to find herself institutionalized there as a teen. Adamson's memoir recounts a girl's spiral of self-destruction in the throes of unspoken grief after her mother's suicide. Depressed and constantly at odds with an overwhelmed father, she runs away until she's arrested by the police. At fourteen years old she finds herself plucked from a privileged life and forced to navigate the criminal justice system of probation officers, juvenile halls and foster homes. Incorrigible is a raw, gripping, coming-of-age story of teenage struggle with familial dysfunction, addiction, and incarceration, until finally, against nearly insurmountable odds, the author survives, later finding empowering new purpose in her life.

The Jerry Sandusky case had little to do with football and everything to do with the insidious danger that comes from those we willingly hand our children over to because we trust them. In this unflinching memoir Matthew Sandusky reveals the silent victimization that continues across this country and around the world, not by “stranger danger” but by those we admire, know and trust. 

Veteran journalist and critic Chris Morris looks back at his intense half-century-long relationship with the music of Bob Dylan, viewing the role the singer-songwriter’s work has played in his own life. A candid album-by-album exploration of Dylan’s catalog through 2016’s “Fallen Angels” examines the powerful personal impact of the musician’s art.In 2013, Morris – the former music editor of The Hollywood Reporter and a longtime senior writer at Billboard – hit a psychological roadblock as he worked on his book Los Lobos: Dream in Blue (ultimately published in 2015 by the University of Texas Press). Hoping to get his writing flowing again, he turned to the music of Bob Dylan, whose album catalog had recently been collected in a boxed-set edition, and published his thoughts as posts on the blog site Tumblr.It quickly became apparent to the writer and to his readers that the posts were something more than a critical reconsideration of Dylan’s music.Morris writes. “The pieces were not about Dylan and they were not about me; they were about Dylan and me. I found myself reconsidering my past through these records. Where was I when this came out? How old was I? Where was I living? Who was I with? Was I in love? Was I happy? Miserable? Crazy? Was I high? Where was I working? What was my state of mind? How did the music affect me? In some cases the pieces were coolly measured (though never impersonal); in others I found myself plunging into places within me that I hadn’t visited for years. I was retrieving a portion of my life, which I had spent almost all of in the company of Bob Dylan’s music.”Here, Dylan’s music is explored album by album, from his 1962 debut as a folksinger to his 2015-16 explorations of the Classic American songbook; the creative highs and lows of his entire 37-title discography are examined.But Morris’ take on Dylan’s music doesn’t merely weigh the quality of the work – it reveals how a gifted artist’s creations have the power to engage, incite, alter, and even rescue a listener over the course of a lifetime. Together Through Life occupies a unique space in the vast bibliography of Bob Dylan books.
