The 'Wood
"Only twelve people in Hollywood can green-light a movie. Everyone else sucks up to those twelve." -- Chris Meyer Set in current day LA, Chris Meyer’s uproariously funny debut novel, The ‘Wood, is a raw and powerful portrait of the moviemaking industry, featuring players who compete with one another for relevance in a world where box office is king. In The ‘Wood, Anna is a young Hollywood film executive with a gift for picking box office winners. When she is passed over at work and in love, she begins to question herself. And when an escaped psychiatric patient crosses her path, she is intrigued by his insight. Anna finds herself surrounded by brilliantly vibrant and outrageously eccentric characters who, like many of us, are shaped by our pasts . . . or are they? The ‘Wood is a wild, hilarious, and touching story of the chaotic yet alluring inner workings of Hollywood, its manifold of unique characters, and their parallel journeys toward self-realization and redemption.
Life in 20 Lessons
If you could fast forward your life to your deathbed and hear your regrets (and joys), then rewind and live your life with that knowledge, would you do it? This book provides that knowledge. After fourteen years in the funeral business, Chris Meyer has sat with families and listened to their “could’ves,” “should’ves,” and “would’ves.” In doing so he learned many lessons—lessons that kept repeating themselves year after year. Meyer knew he could help a lot of people with this information. So he sat down and memorialized the lessons he learned to share with the world: some simple, some profound, some irreverent. Lessons from life, from death, from surviving. But make no mistake, this is NOT a story about dying…this is a story of living. This is…Life in 20 Lessons. Poignant. Funny. Filled with love.

Four Months...And A Lifetime
"Our seasons lasted only four months, but the memories will last lifetimes." Four Months...And A Lifetime is the touching true story of a father who coached his son's basketball team from kindergarten through eighth grade, a remarkable nine-year journey with the same boys. Their final march to the eighth-grade season Championship is interspersed with the author's own journey of falling in love with basketball in early-seventies New York, filled with anecdotes of Dr. J, sneaking into Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium, and playing pickup in Larry Bird's home state of Indiana. Four Months... And A Lifetime is not only a love story about a father and his son, but of a coach who strived to teach his team the greatest game of basketball and, hopefully, a few life lessons along the way. Touching. Honest. True.
