Making Waves follows Hasselhoff’s acting career from his early childhood role in Peter Pan to his highly acclaimed performance in Chicago in London’s West End, and his new TV triumph in Simon Cowell’s America’s Got Talent. The wealth of inside information includes untold stories of his first marriage and his life as a TV star in Knight Rider and Baywatch. At times deeply personal, it also reveals his fight against drink that nearly drove him to destruction and the devastating motorbike accident in which his second wife Pamela was badly injured. The conclusion covers the reasons for the breakdown of their marriage. Described as a ‘living legend’, this fascinating book gives a new and moving insight into what it means to be the most watched TV star in the world.
The "Los Angeles Times" called him a "counterculture icon," and "TV Guide" dubbed him one of "TVUs Ten Most Powerful Stars," but true aficionados simply call him "The Hoff." As this fascinating memoir reveals, there's more to this handsome superstar than great hair, and legs that look good while running down a beach.
Lesson no.1: Believe in yourself. ‘I’m six foot four, an all-American guy, and handsome and talented as well!’ Everyone knows you don’t hassel the Hoff. But what else can we learn from the paragon of style, sophistication and swagger that is David Hasselhoff? It turns out, you can learn a lot – and not just about how to be an excellent life guard by running in slo-mo down the beach, or how to fight crime with a robot car. With this collection of the Hoff’s wittiest quotes and most enlightening mantras for life, you can channel his unshakeable self-belief, his sunny optimism and his unfaltering good humour for yourself. Be cool: be more Hoff.

Lenea Grace’s debut collection maps a series of relationships within a greater exploration of Canadiana, barreling through shield and crag, river and slag. A Generous Latitude is not afraid of beer, bears, internal rhyme, David Hasselhoff, sediment, or sentiment. It does, however, eschew sliding down lampposts, CBC sitcoms, McGarrigles, and the sentimental. Taking humor in the human condition, A Generous Latitude toys with juxtapositions of the serious with the silly, the irreverent with more somber realities. Music both teases and generates the poems within the collection. Here, Guy Lafleur’s hockey-disco hybrid album is on par with the Righteous Brothers and Fleetwood Mac. Here, “I’m not smoking and it’s not analog, / but at 2 a.m., it is always 1979.” A Generous Latitude takes a wild, peculiar joy in supplanting the expected with rich imagery that lights the mundane and “strips the Atlantic bare.”
Smart. Funny. Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.
