Clockwork Angels
The Novel
Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart
• $20,000 marketing budget; co-op available
• Kevin J. Anderson’s previous books sold more than 20 million
copies, including the bestselling titles The Ashes of Worlds, The
Edge of the World, The Last Days of Krypton, and Metal Swarm
• Corresponding music album by Rush releases in May
A remarkable collaboration that is unprecedented in its scope
and realization, this exquisitely wrought novel represents an
artistic project between the bestselling science fiction author
Kevin J. Anderson and the multiplatinum rock band Rush. The
newest album by Rush, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in
Neil Peart’s lyrics that has been expanded by him and Anderson
into this epic novel. In a young man’s quest to follow his
dreams, he is caught between the grandiose forces of order and
chaos. He travels across a lavish and colorful world of steam-
punk and alchemy with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic
carnivals, and a rigid Watchmaker who imposes precision on
every aspect of daily life. The mind-bending story is comple-
mented with rich paintings by the five-time Juno Award winner
for Best Album Design, Hugh Syme.
Kevin J. Anderson is a science fiction author and coauthor with
more than 40 bestsellers, including three series of Dune pre-
quels, a handful of Lucasfilm novels for the Young Jedi Knights
series, books based on The X-Files, his own Saga of Seven Suns
series, and the novel Assemblers of Infinity. He has won or
been nominated for numerous prestigious awards, including the
Nebula Award, Bram Stoker Award, SFX Reader’s Choice

Excerpt from “The Mystery Knight: A Tale of the Seven Kingdoms” by George R. R. Martin:
It was almost dawn before the rain let up enough for the combat to take place. The castle yard was a morass of soft mud, glistening
wetly by the light of a hundred torches. Beyond the field a gray mist was rising, sending ghostly fingers up the pale stone walls to grasp
the castle battlements. Many of the wedding guests had vanished during the intervening hours, but those who remained climbed the
viewing stand again and settled themselves on planks of rain-soaked pine. Amongst them stood Ser Gormon Peake, surrounded by a
knot of lesser lords and household knights.
It had only been a few years since Dunk had squired for old Ser Arlan. He had not forgotten how. He cinched the buckles on Ser
Glendon’s ill-fitting armor, fastened his helm to his gorget, helped him mount, and handed him his shield. Earlier contests had left deep
gouges in the wood, but the blazing fireball could still be seen. He looks as young as Egg, Dunk thought. A frightened boy, and grim. His
sorrel mare was unbarded, and skittish as well. He should have stayed with his own mount. The sorrel may be better bred and swifter,
but a rider rides best on a horse that he knows well, and this one is a stranger to him.
“I’ll need a lance,” Ser Glendon said. “A war lance.”
Dunk went to the racks. War lances were shorter and heavier than the tourney lances that had been used in all the earlier tilts; eight feet
of solid ash ending in an iron point. Dunk chose one and pulled it out, running his hand along its length to make sure it had no cracks.

The spookiest of specters inhabit this spine-tingling anthology—com-
piled by an acclaimed editor of the horror genre—that collects the
most chilling ghost stories from the past 25 years. The human obses-
sion with the mysteries of the afterlife is explored in these supernatu-
ral tales of haunted houses, lost souls, unexplained phenomena, and
“good” neighbors. Neil Gaiman’s “Closing Time” is a troubling tale
recounted by an elderly man on a cold drizzly night in London
while Joyce Carol Oates’ “Haunted” is a chilling story of two young
girls drawn to abandoned houses and what they find in one. Francis
Wardwell is eager to inform readers that everything they think they
know about ghosts is wrong in Peter Straub’s “Hunger: An
Introduction,” and George R. R. Martin’s “Remembering Melody”
stresses the importance of keeping promises—no matter the conse-
quences. Fans of a good ghost story will find this collection the ideal
go-to for chills.

Fighting to Serve
Behind the Scenes in the War to Repeal “Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell”
Alexander Nicholson
• Co-op available
• Advertising in Harper’s and OutServe magazines
Revealing the backstage strategies and negotiations that led to the
2010 repeal of the Pentagon’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) poli-
cy, this history offers a detailed, no-holds-barred account of the con-
troversial policy from an insider’s perspective. In early 2006, the
founder of the largest organization for gay and lesbian servicemem-
bers—Servicemembers United—along with fellow former military
members who had also been discharged under the DADT policy,
toured the United States, speaking about the repeal campaign at
American Legion posts, on radio talk shows, and at press confer-
ences across the South and both coasts. Surprised at the mostly posi-
tive reception and momentum for the repeal that the tour received,
Servicemembers United was suddenly propelled to the forefront of
DADT’s repeal fight. From the unique perspective of the only person
with a central role on every front in the war against DADT, this
examination exposes how various Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender (LGBT) organizations, Congress, and the White House
often worked at cross purposes, telling the public they were doing
one thing while advocating other strategies behind closed doors.
Alexander Nicholson is the founder and executive director of
Servicemembers United, the nation’s largest organization of LGBT
troops and veterans, and was the only person engaged with every
aspect of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” fight—the grassroots, the
media, the U.S. Congress, the administration, the Pentagon, and the Excerpt:

How Rod Blagojevich Talked Himself out of the
Governor’s Office and into Prison

sighted account of how Chicago’s mighty mob was brought to
heel.” —Publishers Weekly on Family Secrets
• Co-op available
• Advertising in the Chicago Reader and Harper’s magazine
Revealing previously unreleased information from the Rod
Blagojevich investigation, this narrative—written by two Chicago
Tribune reporters who spent years sifting through evidence, compil-
ing documents, and conducting more than 100 interviews with those
who have known the former governor—is the most complete telling
of the Blagojevich story. Beginning on the streets of Chicago and
wending its way into the highest reaches of government, the
Blagojevich tale brushes up against some of the nation’s most pow-
erful politicians. Detailing the mechanics of the corruption that
brought him down and profiling a fascinating and frustrating char-
acter who embodies many of the problems found in modern politics,
this account dispenses with the sensationalism that surrounded the
case to present the facts about one of the nation’s most notorious
politicians. Sentenced to 14 years in prison in December 2011, this is
the final word on who the governor was, how he was elected, how
he got himself into trouble, and how the feds took him down.

How Islands Transform the World

An exploration into the cultural, natural, and historical significance
of islands, this unique book delves into what islands represent, how
different cultures view them, and even the geological roots of island
formations. Islands play a significant role in both the ancient and
modern world, and play an important part in how civilizations were
formed. The book looks at islands through the lens of the philosophi-
cal, psychological, biological, and political, as human identity has
revolved around islands ever since people first discovered them. It cel-
ebrates islands for all their worth, whether real or invented, literal or
fictitious, as a central part of the human narrative.
J. Edward Chamberlin is a professor emeritus of English and compar-
ative literature at the University of Toronto. He is a fellow of the
Royal Society of Canada, was a visiting professor at the University of
Michigan, has lectured around the world, and received an honorary
doctorate from the University of the West Indies. He is the author of

our hopes and fears, have an island counterpart, and BLUEBRIDGE FEBRUARY
some say islands are so bound into our consciousness that
they define what it is to be human. There are islands of
solitude, and islands with a social life––and not always an
easy one. Ideals of domestic life, civilized and settled, are
routinely represented in island images; and so are ideas of
the wild and the barbaric and the border between them.
And both of these can sustain the sense of community
that islands often celebrate. Much of our philosophical,
psychological, and political identity is realized in island
imagery; and so, interestingly, is our technology, from
insulin to insulation.
The history of islands is also the history of planet earth,
from its beginning as an island in space to its current
position as part of the archipelago that is our solar sys-
tem, and from the moment land first appeared above the
waters that covered the earth to the contemporary
appearance and disappearance of islands in the cycles of
climate change and seismic upheaval that make up and
break up our world.

Daniel Estulin

Depending on the source, Julian Assange, the editor in chief of
WikiLeaks, is regarded as either a genius or terrorist, and this
exploration of the man and the organization seeks to find the truth.
Delving into the heart of the business of keeping and leaking secrets,
this work shows how the enterprise of WikiLeaks and Assange is
shrouded in mystery, but nonetheless, seeks to expose Assange as
an intelligence asset tasked with sustaining the global status quo.
Through careful analysis, interviews, and scrutiny of the organiza-
tion as a whole, this inquiry gets to the bottom of the intriguing
and mesmerizing story behind WikiLeaks.

Hendrix on Hendrix
Interviews and Encounters with Jimi Hendrix
Edited by Steven Roby
• Co-op available
• Advertising in American Songwriter Magazine, Blurt magazine,
Goldmine magazine, Relix magazine, and Wax Poetics magazine
• Editor’s previous books sold more than 20,000 copies
• Part of the Musicians in Their Own Words series
Though many books have chronicled Jimi Hendrix’s brilliant but
tragically brief musical career, this is the first to use his own words
to paint a detailed portrait of the man behind the guitar. With selec-
tions carefully chosen by one of the world’s leading Jimi Hendrix
historians, this work includes the most important interviews from
the peak of his career, 1966 to 1970. In this authoritative volume,
Hendrix recalls for reporters his heartbreaking childhood, his con-
cept of “Electric Church Music” (intended to wash people’s souls
and give them a new direction), and his wish to be remembered as
not just another guitar player. While Hendrix never wrote a memoir,
with new transcriptions from European papers, the African
American press, counterculture newspapers, radio and TV inter-
views, and previously unpublished court transcripts, this book gives
music fans the next best thing to a Hendrix autobiography.
Steven Roby is a respected Jimi Hendrix historian, archivist, and
author. He has written feature articles and reviews for Goldmine
and Guitar World and was editor of Straight Ahead: The
International Jimi Hendrix Fanzine and the Hendrix family’s
authorized fanzine, Experience Hendrix. His previous books include
Becoming Jimi Hendrix and Black Gold: The Lost Archives of Jimi
Hendrix. He lives in Oakland, California.

Mary Wells
The Tumultuous Life of Motown’s First Superstar
Peter Benjaminson
• Co-op available
• Author’s previous books sold more than 20,000 copies
Complete with never-before-revealed details about the sex, violence,
and drugs in her life, this biography reveals the incredibly turbulent
life of Motown artist Mary Wells. Based in part on four hours of
previously unreleased and unpublicized deathbed interviews with
Wells, this account delves deeply into her rapid rise and long fall as
a recording artist, her spectacular romantic and family life, the vio-
lent incidents in which she was a participant, and her abuse of
drugs. From tumultuous affairs, including one with R&B superstar
Jackie Wilson, to a courageous battle with throat cancer that cli-
maxed in her gutsiest performance, this history draws upon years of
interviews with Wells’s friends, lovers, and husband to tell the whole
story of a woman whose songs crossed the color line and whose
voice captivated the Beatles.
Peter Benjaminson is the author of The Lost Supreme: The Life of
Dreamgirl Florence Ballard and The Story of Motown, and is the
coauthor of Investigative Reporting. He has written numerous sto-
ries for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Detroit Free Press.
He lives in New York City.

Whether it is a beautiful and classic model or an unglamorous
and inexpensive starter instrument, a musician’s first guitar can be
the catalyst that motivates a lifelong passion. The pages of this

guitarists across musical genres and playing styles to discover how
their love of the instrument compelled them to pursue music as a

ment, the music they loved, and their heroes and inspirations.
With an impressive list of subjects—including Dick Dale, Melissa
Etheridge, Jimmy Page, Les Paul, and Carlos Santana—as well as
childhood photos from such guitar legends as Alex Lifeson, Joe
Satriani, and Jimmie Vaughan, this book has appeal for guitar
heroes and nonmusicians alike.

zines in the United States and abroad. Her music has been fea-
tured on National Public Radio, and she composed music for the

ers to adapt the setups to their own subjects and shooting
style. The guide also provides ample description of the effects
achieved through the selection of each light modifier and the
placement of each light source within the overall setup.

refining the appearance of the subject and for communicating
the individual’s personality through the pose selected. This
book is a valuable addition to the library of any professional
photographer or advanced student of photography.

Art Models 7
Dynamic Figures for the Visual Arts
Maureen Johnson and Douglas Johnson
• Co-op available
• Advertising in Artist’s Magazine (September, December)
• Authors’ previous books sold more than 20,000 copies
Artists in search of figures in intense action—flying
through the air, punching, kicking, and crouching—will
find more than 100 poses of male and female models in
28 categories of dynamic movement in the latest addi-
tion to the Art Models series. Informed by diverse
sources such as baroque art, with its moody lighting
and twisting figures, and comic books, with heroic fig-
ures in strong stances and suspicious crouches, this
visual reference will inspire any artist—comic book
artists, animators, video game designers, and illustra-
tors—interested in depicting drama. A section of time-
stopping photos of actions including jumping, falling,
or swinging a sword offers artists a series of expertly
photographed views that would be very challenging to
achieve with a studio model. Art Models 7 also pres-
ents a number of the series’ trademark stationary poses
photographed in 24-point rotation and shot in the
round. For artists who work in fine detail, close-ups
and dramatic perspectives have been added for numer-
ous positions and can be found on the companion disc
in resolutions up to 20 megapixels.

on their area of expertise, beginning and intermediate
artists alike will enjoy Jackie Barrass’s lessons on captur-
ing light to add soft highlights, atmosphere, and visual
texture to each flower portrait. Additionally, Wendy Tait
demonstrates how progressive buildup of detail—from
basic, misty wash backgrounds—will gradually lead
toward an emergence of delicate cyclamen, daffodil, and
rose petals. Additional brush effects are demonstrated by
Richard Bolton and include a roundup of his favorite
techniques such as dry-on-dry brushwork, splattering,
scrumbling, and using a split brush. With each project
accompanied by more than two-dozen color photo-
graphs, artists of all skill levels will find this resource
ever handy, concise, and valuable.

Abelard
Renaud Dillies and Regis Hautière
“A certain magic is demonstrated when an artist, unfettered
by perceptions of comics being for kids, uses the full paint
box of tools available to him. The wild imagery, wandering
through parties and dreamland alike, transports the reader
in an emotional way that propels the practical mind into the
escape of art.” —Publishers Weekly starred review
on Bubbles & Gondola
• Co-op available
• Author’s previous books sold more than 50,000 copies
To lure pretty Emily, little chick Abelard sees only one solu-
tion: to catch the moon for her. So off he goes to America,
the country that invented flying machines. Armed with his
banjo and his proverb-sharing hat, he launches out on the
country roads, where he meets Gaston, a grumpy bear with
whom he will shares his plan. As opposed to dreamer
Abelard, Gaston has his feet firmly planted on the ground.
This humorous comic, where the absurd becomes poetry,
explores philosophical ideas through a simple, fanciful story.
Renaud Dillies is a comics artist who studied at the famous
St. Luc School of Art in Tournai, Belgium. He won the Best
First Album Award at the Angouleme Comics Festival,
France’s highest set of awards for comics. He is the author

The Ignorants
A Story of a Cross Initiation
Étienne Davodeau
• Co-op available
• Nominated for Best Graphic Novel 2011 at the Angouleme
Festival, one of the largest comics conventions in the world
A graphic novel that explores the nature of one’s vocation,
this book offers a look at the daily devotion to craft in two
dissimilar professions. Étienne Davodeau is a comic artist—he
doesn’t know much about the world of winemaking. Richard
Leroy is a winemaker—he’s rarely even read comics. But filled
with good will and curiosity, the two men exchange profes-
sions, and Étienne goes to work in Richard’s vineyards and
cellar, while Richard, in return, leaps into the world of comics.
Providing a true-life representation of how both professions
work, this insightful book investigates two fascinating fields,
exploring each man’s motivations and ultimately revealing
that their endeavors and aspirations are not much different.
Étienne Davodeau is a French comics author who has won
multiple awards and authored numerous critically acclaimed
graphic novels.

A Set of Neil Kleid Graphic Novels
Neil Kleid, Nicholas Cinquegrani, and Jake Allen
“Gangsters have always been a popular subject for graphic novels,
and Brownsville is a worthy addition to the Jewish side of the
canon.” —Hadassah Magazine
“This is an unusually rich work. Every character is well realized.
Each panel’s composition, perspective, and placement within the
continuity, and also the transitions between scenes, are done with
care. A not-to-be-missed original graphic novel.” —Booklist
• Author tour to include Washington, DC Small Press Expo
(September); New York Comic-Con (October); and New York
MoCCA Fest (April)
• Author’s previous books sold more than 30,000 copies
Award-winning comics writer Neil Kleid explores two aspects of
being Jewish in America in this banded set of his highly praised
graphic novels: Brownsville and The Big Kahn. Brownsville is set in
1930s Brooklyn and follows the intertwined lives of Jewish gangsters
Allie Tanennbaum, Abe Reles, and scores of hoods organized by
Louis Lepke Buchalter as they undertake the deadliest hit in Mafia
history, “Murder, Inc.” As they escape the mean streets and lonely
tenements of East New York and make themselves into the most dan-
gerous men in America, they eventually send their best friends and
closest allies up the river. In The Big Kahn, Rabbi David Kahn has
lived a 40-year lie: he is not, nor has he ever been, Jewish. At his
funeral, the “rabbi’s” brother reveals the truth, forcing the Kahn fam-
ily to struggle with grief and betrayal as their congregation questions
their very faith. A drama about loss, lies, belief, and renewal, this
graphic account of a family secret explores the very nature of faith.
Neil Kleid is a Xeric Award–winning cartoonist and the author of the
graphic novels The Big Kahn, Brownsville, and Ninety Candles. He
lives in Teaneck, New Jersey. Nicholas Cinquegrani is an Argentinean
comic artist presently studying at the School of Visual Arts in New
York City. Jake Allen is a comic artist and graphic designer. He lives
in Exeter, New Hampshire.

Recounting Streets
Juan Berrio
Composed of urban vignettes, the illustrated tales presented give a whimsical and humorous portrayal of a city. A parade of familiar
characters comes in and out of focus through the storytelling—dog walkers, doormen, shopkeepers, cell-phone obsessed passersby—to
paint a relatable picture of modern living. Such stories as a man crossing paths with a lamppost, a girl watering potted plants in a win-
dow, and a young man who finds an interesting advertisement in the street are told through vibrant color illustrations with plenty of
visual puns and fanciful humor. This work is in association with Diabolo Ediciones.
Juan Berrio is an illustrator and graphic designer with a background in advertising. His work has been published in magazines such as
Bloomberg Businessweek, Elle, GQ, Marie Claire, Newsweek, and Vanity magazine.

Herman Melville’s short story “Bartleby,” a study of the THE CROSSROAD PUBLISHING COMPANY/CROSSROAD SEPTEMBER
grave effects of overwork, depicts the life of a young man
employed by a law firm as a copyist or scrivener. As an
employee Bartleby is punctual, industrious, and steadfast,
laboring diligently long hours day and night at his desk to
the great satisfaction of his employer. He embodies all the
virtues of the Protestant work ethic that Benjamin Franklin
acknowledged in his autobiography, qualities like “silence,”
“order,” “frugality,” “resolution,” and “industry”. However,
despite Bartleby’s work ethic, the lawyer who oversees his
work regrets Bartleby’s silent, private, morose disposition:
“I should have been quite delighted with his application,
had he been cheerfully industrious. But he wrote on silently,
palely, mechanically.” Isolated by a screen from his fellow
employees, Bartleby copies, copies, and copies without

“What a wonderful book for Christians of all denominations! It

nection with Christ. Recognizing the differences between a spiritu-
al journey and the daily paths of life, advice is offered for
discovering what God is doing, what hurdles are overcome
through belief, and how spiritual lessons can be shared with oth-
ers. Practical and compassionate, this remarkable guide introduces
the building blocks of success—grace, the Holy Spirit, and Mother
Mary—and reveals how they can be used for seeking direction,
building a spiritual program, and broadening the quest beyond the
self. Presented in sympathetic and accessible language, classic
Catholic disciplines are made relevant for contemporary readers
that are seeking self-improvement and a deeper spiritual life.

More Than 20 Projects to Make
Steve Tomashek
• Co-op available
A hip beginner’s guide to one of world’s most relaxing,
inexpensive, and rewarding hobbies, this handbook puts
a modern spin on an ancient craft by teaching readers
how to whittle whimsical miniature creatures. With just a
sharp knife, a little practice, and the tiniest block of
wood, anyone can make a charming carving in less than
an hour. Led by an award-winning carver and artist, this
manual takes readers through the basics, demonstrating
how to carve root vegetables in order to minimize the
danger of accidents; readers will create a simple turnip
bear or a carrot mouse. As confidence builds, readers
graduate to wood, and work through step-by-step
instructions accompanied by photographs, enjoying
increasingly polished results as they refine their tech-
nique. Including easy-to-use templates and sources for
tools and materials, readers will learn how to sand, paint,
and decorate their tiny carvings, eventually creating a fox,
an owl, a horse, a hen, and even a forest or farmyard set-
ting for their miniature menagerie.
Steve Tomashek is an artist, photographer, and master
carver of miniatures. He is the author of the website
Miniature Menagerie, which features animated films of
his whittling and his collection of wooden animals. He

Betrayal
A Kydd Sea Adventure
"This well-crafted naval adventure by a seasoned lieutenant
commander of the British navy balances historical perspective
with the excitement of a full broadside assault. Comparable to
C. C. Humphreys’s Jack Absolute series and the naval tales of the
great Patrick O’Brian, Stockwin’s engaging novel reveals the
author’s acumen for the history and spirit of the time."
—Library Journal on Conquest
Cape Colony is proving a tiresome assignment for Thomas
Kydd’s daring commander-in-chief Commodore Popham as
South America’s Spanish colonies are in a ferment of popular
unrest. Rumors of a treasure hoard of Spanish silver spur him to
assemble a makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack on
the capital of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate in Buenos Aires.
Navigating the treacherous bars and mud flats of the river, the
British invasion force wins a battle against improbable odds, tak-
ing the capital and the silver. But the uprising that promises the
end of Spanish rule never arrives and the locals begin to see dark
conspiracies behind the invader’s actions. Now Kydd’s men must
face resistance and the betrayal of their closest allies. Can they
save themselves and their prize?

Tommy
A World War II Novel
William Illsey Atkinson
• Co-op available
Based on interviews conducted with the author’s father, this
fictionalized account brings to life the true character of a man
involved in the battle of Ten-Go, a Japanese kamikaze naval
offensive. In the aftermath of the battle for Okinawa, Tommy has
utterly changed, just like everyone else on board the USS Bataan.
As a lieutenant commander and expert navigator, Tommy has
long understood the horrors of this war and he has spent his mili-
tary career battling both the enemy and the brass. With mathe-
matical genius he has challenged military procedure, refined
naval ballistics, and exposed flaws in U.S. antiaircraft firing strat-
egy. And although the battle of Ten-Go resulted in an Allied vic-
tory, the death toll was high and Tommy’s best friend is among
them. This is the story of a brilliant though reluctant warrior, a
man who would go on to great success in industry—but would
gladly give that success up to change the mind of one kamikaze.
William Illsey Atkinson is the author of Nanocosm and
Prototype. His nonfiction books have been short-listed for the
National Business Book Award and named to Executive Book
Summaries’ Top 30 Books list. He lives in Toronto.

Excerpt:
A pilot may be wounded, with his plane on fire, out of fuel, and on glide descent. Even on a clear day, freak downdrafts
may catch a plane in its final approach and swat it earthward. Also, the runway may be uneven. Asphalt has potholes,
cracks, and humps; grass fields that look as smooth as golf greens hide irregularities that can tilt a wheel or snag a tail-
hook. A gopher hole can flip a plane. Even in the astonishingly up-to-date, brand-spanking-new world of 1943, in the
best land airports of the most advanced nation on the planet, bringing an aircraft safely to Earth is not for the faint
of heart.
Landing on a carrier is ten times worse. Winds are wonkier, the target strip is the size of a church roof. Spume may blind
you without warning.
Even in calm seas a carrier’s flight deck pitches, yaws, and rolls relative to a plane’s approach: it’s a landing strip balanced
on a beach ball. But for everyone from executive officer to damage crew, a heavy-seas recovery is the stuff of nightmares.
Human brains and bodies, even young ones at a pitch of mental and physical perfection, were not designed for this.
The last few seconds of a recovery are the most critical. Touch down on land and you generally stay down; this is less cer-
tain on a carrier deck. Your sink rate could be a perfect two feet per second, a gossamer caress ashore, and that gimballed
deck could suddenly soar skyward on a rogue wave and smack into you at another twenty feet per second. The sum of
these vectors is like jumping off the roof of a two-story house; it knocks your nuts into your nose. Nor need you stay
down even then. You can bounce. That’s okay if you bounce nose-up. Your tailhook usually—usually—stays on the arrest-
ing wire and brakes you, though your nuts then leave your nostrils with a pleasant popping sound. But if you bounce
nose-down and your tailhook rips away from the wire: then, flyboy, you are fully fucked. There’s a steel-rope safety net at
the far end of the recovery area, but when it has to field a million foot-pounds of runaway machinery it’s as useful as a
daisy chain. Get ready to splash, ace. Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.

My Life as a Champion MMA Fighter
Frank Shamrock and Charles Fleming
Foreword by Mickey Rourke
• Co-op available
• Authors’ previous books sold more than one million
copies combined
Before Frank Shamrock became known professionally as “The
Legend”—winning almost every mixed martial arts title in exis-
tence—he endured a childhood marred with abuse, neglect, and
molestation that led to an equally troubled young adulthood.
This riveting book tells his whole story: his neglect as a child by
his hippie mother and absentee father, his salvation under the
foster father who took him in when no one else would, his des-
perate act of armed robbery and subsequent incarceration in
state prison, and his eventual rebirth as a cage fighter who
would go on to dominate the entire sport for the next two
decades. Detailing his fights inside and outside of the ring, it dis-
cusses the people and events that enabled him to become a
champion as well as his problems with the Ultimate Fighting
Championship and the reasons behind his retirement. With eye-
opening depictions of the world of mixed martial arts fighters
and refreshing candor, this thrilling story of sex, violence, crime,
and redemption reveals the numerous pitfalls a famous fighter
encountered in his life and how he successfully overcame them
to become a champion in every sense of the word.
Frank Shamrock was the undefeated mixed martial arts (MMA)
champion for 10 years and is the only person to win a title in all
three major North American fight promotions (UFC, WEC, and
Strikeforce). He has worked as an NBC sports announcer, is an
owner of fight venues, and created his own line of MMA train-
ing gyms. He is the author of Mixed Martial Arts for Dummies.
He lives in Los Angeles. Charles Fleming is a writer, an adjunct
faculty member of the University of Southern California, and a
reporter whose writing has been published in such publications
as Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, and Vanity Fair. He is the
coauthor of several books, including The Goomba Book of
Love, The Goomba Diet, A Goomba’s Guide to Life, My
Lobotomy, and Three Weeks in October. He lives in Los
Angeles. Mickey Rourke is an actor, a screenwriter, and a retired
boxer. He has acted in such films as Angel Heart, Iron Man 2,
and Sin City, and he won a Golden Globe Award in 2009 for his
lead role in The Wrestler. He lives in New York City.

www.pwinsider.com and www.sherdog.com (September)
• Author tour to include Los Angeles (September)
A spirited tale of redemption from a seemingly insurmountable life
of tragedy and crime, this first autobiography of professional
wrestler and TV commentator Booker T. Huffman details his life
before celebrity status in the ring. Beginning with Booker T’s single-
parent upbringing after the passing of his father, this powerful
account reveals the gritty reality of his formative years—from the
gruesome accident Booker T witnessed at the age of 13 that led to
his mother’s death and his subsequent life of abject poverty as an
orphan in urban Houston to years of reckless drug use, dealing, and
violence that culminated in a five-year prison sentence for robbery.
With engaging candor Booker T writes of his refusal to allow his
years of crime to cloud his future and his decision to take responsi-
bility for his life and make a positive impact in his community. This
intimate profile chronicles his transition from absentee father to
locating his child in foster care and taking custody, events that led
Booker T to pursue a better life and a career with the WWE by
attending World Wrestling Alliance training camp. It also sheds
insight into his relationship with his seven siblings, including his
brother and eventual tag team member Lane “Stevie Ray” Huffman.

The Jimmy Snuka Story
Jimmy Snuka and Jon Chattman
Foreword by Rowdy Roddy Piper
Introduction by Mick Foley
• $20,000 marketing budget; co-op available
Focusing on the superstar who single-handedly influenced the devel-
opment of sports entertainment, this autobiography highlights the
legacy of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) icon Jimmy Snuka.
The wrestler’s legendary top-rope maneuvers, innovative high-flying
style, and unprecedented aerial ability made him the most popular
competitor in WWE. This fascinating account relates how a native of
the Fiji Islands was at the center of two of wrestling’s most talked-
about moments: the night Snuka leapt from the top of the 15-foot
cage—only to miss his opponent and consequently lose the match—
and the night Rowdy Roddy Piper smashed a coconut over Snuka’s
head during a segment of Piper’s Pit in 1984. Exposing the amazing
life of this WWE Hall of Fame member in detail, this record presents
the ups and downs of a wrestler who grew to be a key figure in the
expansion of the company and all professional wrestling.
Jimmy Snuka is a semiretired Fijian professional wrestler and actor
who competed for several promotions in the 1970s and 1980s. He is
a two-time world heavyweight champion, having been a two-time—

Excerpt:
I knew Sean Glennon was on to something the first time I talked to him.
I don’t mean that I absolutely agree with Sean’s conclusions. Like I told him, I can say for sure that Tom
Brady is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and if you put my feet to the fire, I might have to say he
is the greatest of all time. But I also happen to have a lot of respect for Peyton Manning. And, of course, you
can’t even have the conversation without talking about Joe Montana and Bart Starr. That’s fine. I don’t need
to agree with Sean a hundred percent, and I don’t think he needs me to. What I liked about what Sean was
doing wasn’t really about where he was going; it was about how he was getting there.
Sean contacted me looking for a quote he could use in his book. He introduced himself as someone who
had written some books about the Patriots, and said he was writing one about Brady being the greatest
quarterback ever. He was looking for some kind of comment about Tom that he could share with readers.
That seemed easy enough. Then we talked and I asked Sean how he was going about this thing. That led
to a conversation about football history. We talked about guys like Montana and Starr. We also talked
about Dan Marino and Otto Graham. Sean told me he was comparing Tom to those guys and a bunch of
others — and he told me that way he was doing things wasn’t about tearing down any of those other great
quarterbacks. He was putting everyone’s accomplishments out there and leaving most of the decisions to
the readers. He was making a case for Brady, but doing it in a way that was respectful to these other guys
who have made huge contributions to the league and the game.
I knew right then that the guy was writing a book that I would want to read and endorse.

Walter & Me
Living in the Shadow of Sweetness
Eddie Payton, Paul T. Brown, and Craig Wiley
• Co-op available
Widely regarded as one of the best football players to ever tie on a
pair of cleats, Walter Payton led a fascinating and ultimately tragic
life. Told in the voices of those who knew him best, this biography
of the Chicago Bears legendary running back tells the inspiring
account of the reward of hard work and is an uplifting testament
to the power of the human spirit. It is a story of inspiration,
redemption, and the deep passion two brothers felt for the sport
of football. More than a decade after the untimely death of Walter
Payton, his older brother recalls the moments they shared and the
continuing sting of the loss of a legend. This glimpse into Payton’s
life doesn’t sugarcoat the issues or glorify the late superstar, but
rather it addresses the subjects of suicide, drug abuse, and infidelity
head-on with intimate knowledge of the facts. In this candid take,
Walter’s older brother discloses the true life of man simply known
as “Sweetness.”
Eddie Payton is the older brother of Walter Payton. He is the golf
coach at Jackson State University and a former NFL player. He lives
in Jackson, Mississippi. Paul T. Brown is a widely published wildlife
photographer and writer. He is the author of True Boo: Gator
Catchin’ Orangutan Boxin’ and My Wild Ride to the PGA Tour.
He lives in Brandon, Mississippi. Craig Wiley is the founder and
literary agent for the Craig Wiley Agency. He is a member of the
associate faculty at Indiana University–Indianapolis and teaches
on American politics and the United States legal system. He lives
in Indianapolis, Indiana.

would have us build up that yard every year. I mean, every
summer we built up that dang yard with our sweat and
toil—it was like the curse of Adam playing out right there.
And it was the front yard, too, so think about how that
looked. By the time we stopped doing it, we had a yard
halfway up the bottom portion of the house.
Years of pain and sweat for that?
No, it wasn’t for that, and it wasn’t for nothing. It was for
us: her sons.
My momma wasn’t just trying to keep us boys from poach-
ing plums and sneaking off, and she wasn’t just trying to
keep us from getting another whoopin’ from Daddy. She
wasn’t having us do all that work for nothing, and she cer-
tainly wasn’t doing it to build up the yard. No, my momma
never meant to build up the yard at all.
She was building up Walter and me.

The Hawaiian Forgiveness Ritual as the Key
to Your Life’s Fulfillment
Ulrich E. Duprée
• Co-op available
Powerful yet concise, this revolutionary guide summarizes the
Hawaiian ritual of forgiveness and offers methods for immedi-
ately creating positive effects in everyday life. Exploring the con-
cept that everyone is deeply connected—despite feelings of
singularity and separation—four tenets are disclosed for creating
peace with oneself and others: I am sorry, Please forgive me, I
love you, and Thank you. Offering practical exercises, this simple
four-step system encourages readers to focus on difficult conflicts
within personal relationships and heal the past. By addressing
these issues, owning one’s feelings, and accepting unconditional
love, unhealthy situations transform into favorable experiences.
Final chapters delve into love relationships, health and career,
and healing the planet.
Ulrich E. Duprée is a spiritual seeker, a teacher, and a leader of
seminars. He has studied and trained in yoga, philosophy, and
metaphysics, and he lives in a Hindu monastery where he studies
ancient Hindu scriptures.

Our political process tends to drive people towards fixed
identities. Political candidates evolve into ever-more perfect
expressions of their party’s values as they respond to the pres-
sures of voters and party. Social networks attract people of
the same values and reinforce their beliefs. Once we hold
rigidly to one identity, our growth can be slowed or even
arrested. We stop valuing other perspectives and privilege our
values over others. To navigate this critical crossroads in his-
tory, we need people with a more open-ended sense of values
and identity who are able to listen to those with different

A Photographic History of the Airline Stewardess
Bruce McAllister and Stephan Wilkinson
• Author tour to include Denver, New York City, and Washington, DC
A high-flying tribute to the lives, careers, and legacies of stewardesses, this
book answers questions and debunks misconceptions about the first ladies of
the sky—from the first days of flight to today’s mammoth Airbus 380s.
Featuring more than 200 photographs, which document the early days of the
job when flight attendants were registered nurses and had to fit certain height
and weight criteria, this work showcases how airlines have changed their con-
cept of service over the years. By weaving historical images and documents
with firsthand experiences, this book stands as a testament to the immense and
lasting influence that stewardesses have had on the world’s airlines.
