Nobody But You
Known for sparkling originality and dazzling dialogue, USA Today bestselling author Julie Kenner blends the intrigue of film noir with the fun of a sexy romance in this fast and flirty new novel. Sexy private investigator David Anderson takes one look at Jacey Wilder and knows she's no femme fatale. The red-headed smart-aleck in his office couldn't be more different from the tight-skirted dames he creates in the pulp fiction novels he writes in his spare time. But Jacey is a paying customer and he's encountered precious few of those lately. All he has to do is track down her old boyfriend. How hard could it be? With her thirtieth birthday fast approaching, Jacey is determined to get her life on track. Locating her old flame -- a suave, normal guy -- seems like the logical first step. But when she enlists the services of P.I. Anderson, logic is suddenly in short supply: the tough-talking detective is the one who is making her blood sizzle and Jacey's starting to wonder if the man she's really searching for isn't right under her nose....

Please Please Me
The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Who, and numerous other groups put Britain at the center of the modern musical map. Please Please Me offers an insider's view of the British pop-music recording industry during the seminal period of 1956 to 1968, based on personal recollections, contemporary accounts, and all relevant data that situate this scene in the economic, political, and social context of postwar Britain. Author Gordon Thompson weaves issues of class, age, professional status, gender, and ethnicity into his narrative, beginning with the rise of British beat groups and the emergence of teenagers as consumers in postwar Britain, and moving into the competition between performers and the recording industry for control over the music. He interviews musicians, songwriters, music directors, and producers and engineers who worked with the best-known performers of the era. Drawing his interpretation of the processes at work during this musical revolution into a wider context, Thompson unravels the musical change and innovation of the time with an eye on understanding what traces individuals leave in the musical and recording process.
