Kat Tales
Advance Praise for Kat Tales "If you enjoy hearing about animals getting the best of Katy Brown as much as I do, then you'll LOVE this book!" -Brad McElhinny, Managing Editor The Charleston Daily Mail ... Life is anything but tame. It's true that essayist Kathryn Brown knows how to tell a story. What's especially interesting is that Katy's success as an independent published author began with her amusing Facebook posts, considered a daily comic strip by her readers. In her first book of non-fiction, Kat Tales, a memoir of life with animals, you'll discover for yourself how Katy's creativity runs wild! Each adventure is laugh-out- loud funny, from a dangerous raccoon that she couldn't get rid of, to a pair of intruders that she couldn't wait to catch. Katy describes through vivid detail how even the smallest pet can turn into the biggest worry. Katy's humorous criticism of her own life is highlighted by dueling dialogues and awkward attempts to explain her way out of wacky situations. Kat Tales may be a collection of short stories, but it's every bit of a reality show in print! If you loved Lucy, then you'll adore Katy.

Talent Is An Asset: The Story Of Sparks
When LA musicians Russell and Ron Mael moved to Britain in 1973, they hit the pop world as Sparks and looked like oddballs, even in the context of the glam rock movement that made them welcome. Soon defined by their weird and wonderful 1974 single This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us from the Kimono My House album, Sparks have now released 22 albums over four decades, each record inhabiting a bizarre world of its own. Their songs were peppered with puns and pop culture nods, as well as nostalgia and jokey images, all mixed up in a kaleidoscope of musical references ranging from rock to opera to disco. They remain one of pop music's truly original and uncompromising acts. The Sparks story is now celebrated in this unauthorised book, Daryl Easlea's exploration of their extraordinary drawing on hours of new interviews and research. Talent Is An Asset comes as close as possible to pinning down the quicksilver nature of two gifted musicians who have gone out of their way to remain unpredictable and elusive, forever entrenched behind a dazzling gallery of jokes, impersonations and musical eccentricities.
