Smokin’ Joe
When boxing was bold, bright, and glamorous and the fights were the hottest sporting events of the year, Joe Frazier was king as the Heavyweight Champion of the World. From 1970 to 1973 he reigned. With a career record of 32-4-1 with twenty-seven knockouts and an Olympic gold medal, Frazier leaves little question that he was one of the greatest fighters of all time. Well-known, loved, and revered as a gentleman and a fierce competitor in the ring, Joe Frazier speaks his mind in Smokin' Joe—about growing up poor and fighting in the first $2.5 million bout; about the early days of his friendship with Muhammad Ali and how their relationship changed; and about the often corrupt world of boxing and what really went on inside and outside the ring. Personable, good-natured, and funny, Frazier's story is a real delight.

The voices in the silence
Five moving stories tell of young people who, amidst pain, exclusion and unbearable stress, seek their own path - and find the strength to face their fears and inner demons. Svantje, trapped in a world full of silence, allows a glimpse into her wounded soul when she meets Daryl. But their growing affection hides a shocking secret. Sam, an untamed daredevil, struggles with his feelings for Leonie and the dark world that he wants to hide from her at all costs. Ellis, lost in loneliness, finds comfort in an imaginary friend - until he meets a girl who changes his life forever. Laurina, amid violence and religious intolerance, discovers hope in a classmate whose secret could put everything at risk. And Annika, who retreats into a fantasy world, has to decide whether to face her inner shadow or lose her last refuge. Each story is a powerful look at the strength and fragility of the human soul – and a testament that hope exists even in the darkest moments.
Fatally Haunted
Haunted. This word lurks within our deepest emotions. It’s a fear we can’t let go of, or that won’t let go of us. It’s a place we dream of going, or a place we can never leave. An LAPD detective is haunted by the case she never solved. A Century City financial advisor is haunted by the greed he cannot escape. A bridge is haunted by ghosts of despair. In a city of 10 million people, the haunted could be the man waiting to cross the street, or the memory that keeps you awake at night. Fatally Haunted, a Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles anthology, includes original stories by Julie G. Beers, Julia Bricklin, Roger Cannon, Tony Chiarchiaro, Lisa Ciarfella, Cyndra Gernet, B. J. Graf, Mark Hague, A. P. Jamison, Micheal Kelly, Alison McMahan, Peter Sexton, Gobind Tanaka, and Jennifer Younger.
