Bent But Not Broken is an unflinchingly honest memoir about the onset of Peyronie's disease, a painful and sexually limiting condition that is estimated to affect more than 5% of the worldwide adult male population. Don Cummings writes humorously about the emotional and collateral damage brought on by a suddenly curved penis as he struggles to maintain his sense of sex and self. He openly details the doctor visits, the excruciating treatments, and the acute anxiety over the state of his long-term relationship with a man who is supportive but often helpless in the face of nature's whims. Discordant domestic life, a harrowing kidnapping by a handsome stranger, and reminiscences of a hyper-active sexual past are woven into the single-minded quest to minimize the effects of this deforming disorder. Brace yourself for a daring, heartfelt and beautifully twisted story of love and survival.

Mozart's opera Don Giovanni is based on the timeless story of the unrepentant serial womanizer who comes to a bad end. Hell-Bent provides a short introduction to the opera and tells its entire story in lively and entertaining verse form, with a series of powerful illustrations which set the action firmly in the twenty-first century. Hell-Bent is an ideal introduction for those approaching the opera for the first time as well as a delightful refreshment for regular opera-goers. Hell-Bent is the fourth publication in the acclaimed Operarhymes collection (www.operarhymes.com), following on from The Nibelung Ballad (Wagner's Ring), One Crazy Day (Mozart's Marriage of Figaro) and Sextet (Mozart's Cosi fan tutte). "I really enjoyed reading Hell-Bent. It made me laugh out several times, and is created with such an obvious care to detail and love for Mozart's wonderful opera. It immediately made me want to listen to Mozart again soon." Kasper Holten, Director of Opera, Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
Bent's Fort was a landmark of the American frontier, a huge private fort on the upper Arkansas River in present southeastern Colorado. Established by the adventurers Charles and William Bent, it stood until 1849 as the center of the Indian trade of the central plains. David Lavender's chronicle of these men and their part in the opening of the West has been conceded a place beside the works of Parkman and Prescott.
