Set along Canada's picturesque west coast, the Gulf of California and the deep forests of the Pacific Northwest, our reluctant hero sails into unfamiliar waters as he grapples with beautiful women and menacing criminals. Seasoned with a liberal dousing of music and humour, and you have a tale of ... well, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.
Wedding the American oral storytelling tradition with progressive music journalism, Mitch Myers' The Boy Who Cried Freebird is a treatise on the popular music culture of the twentieth century. Trenchant, insightful, and wonderfully strange, this literary mix-tape is authentic music history . . . except when it isn't. Myers outrageously blends short fiction, straight journalism, comic interludes, memoirs, serious artist profiles, satire, and related fan-boy hokum—including the classic stories he first narrated on NPR's All Things Considered. Focusing on iconic recordings, events, communities, and individuals, Myers riffs on Deadheads, sixties nostalgia, rock concert decorum, glockenspiels, and all manner of pop phenomena. From tales of rock-and-roll time travel to science fiction revealing Black Sabbath's power to melt space aliens, The Boy Who Cried Freebird is about music, culture, legend, and lore—all to be lovingly passed on to future generations.
When 16-year old Martina Fiasconi unwittingly crosses the threshold of taboo she ignites a slow burning obsession that flares out of control; for even in the bohemian atmosphere of the Fiasconi household, where the lines of convention were so often blurred, the exotically beautiful Martina could not have imagined her father, Dr. Martino Fiasconi, an eminent university professor, would become the person she feared the most. Set in 1975 in the fictional New England town of Millborough, Unintended Consequences is a psychological drama that explores the complex and unconventional relationship between a daughter with a naive sense of duty and her widower father whose obsession turns to madness when she falls in love with another man.

What Are You Waiting For? By: Stephen J. Kauffman Struggling with self-worth, self-doubt, and loneliness is only a small part of the human condition. The beliefs, the programming, and the ideas passed on by caregivers, as well as the preconceived notions we have been exposed to early on is the real cause of the struggle. What Are You Waiting For? is a wake-up call to anyone who feels their life has been stuck on pause. “To Know Thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” (Socrates) By putting in the time and effort, Stephen continues on his path toward self-discovery and the ultimate freedom that comes with doing the “inside job.” While this journey has been anything but easy, the rewards and people along the way have made it all worthwhile. Guidance toward “self-discovery” does not have to be done in a vacuum. It’s something that must be achieved with others, as well as yourself. So, what are you waiting for?
