My Eight Dads
One dad was a college kid. One was a cancerous pedophile. One was a blundering dreamer. One was appropriately named, Dick. One was an elder statesman, who died, as elder statesman tend to do. One carried a bible in one hand and a puppet in the other. One was a sociopathic conman. One was just happy to be husband #8. All were deformed father figures married to his mother. None escape the candid retelling of absurdity, abuse, negligence and narcissism in Mark Kirby's memoir. --- In this gripping and engaging memoir, Mark Kirby details an abusive youth in the Pacific Northwest, this intermingled with an absurd flurry of doctor's visits and tests due to his recent cancer diagnosis. Mark jokes, trudges, and flies with us through his experiences with the eight "dads" he watched his mom pass through - for better or for worse: "She marries 'em, and I bury 'em," he quips. But in this memoir, he is careful not to bury his tale of child abuse without conversation, all of this influenced by his recent diagnosis.

The Real Kathy Kirby
As Britain’s highest paid female singing star of the 1960s, Kathy Kirby enjoyed a showbusiness lifestyle with all the trappings of success – a home in Mayfair, minks, diamonds and champagne on tap.In this explosive new book, Mark Willerton has attempted to strip away the façade of fame to reveal the ‘real’ Kathy Kirby… the girl behind the lip-gloss. Here, at last, is the truth behind the headlines; a compelling account of Kathy’s enigmatic life and career, which has never been told so frankly. The author was a friend of the star for almost thirty years and alongside his own recollections, he has drawn on commentary by Kathy’s friends, neighbours, contemporaries, song-writers and managers. Part biography and part memoir, there are many exclusives within the book; rare and previously unseen photos taken by the author during Kathy’s reclusive years. Kathy was a complex character, beautiful, glamorous and hugely talented – but flawed by debilitating mental illness and an addictive personality. Her story reveals the other side of showbusiness – what happens when a star fades and falls to earth.

Looking for Lawson
Welcome to the Shitshow! In the surreal time of a futuristic pandemic, Will Lawson is an everyman in many ways: a high school teacher, coach, husband, father, and grandfather who falls victim to the virus. He is admitted to a hospital and winds up on a ventilator for 45 long days. While he is in a medically induced coma, the story unfolds. A fever dream of experiences unfolds, taking him from the Pacific Northwest to a mega casino in Belize with his buddies. While on this road trip to ultimately gamble for his life, he meets an eclectic cast of characters. He must decide which of these characters will survive and which will die in an underground game called the Dead Pool. Some characters are real from his present and past. Others are composite characters tending to him in the hospital. In Looking for Lawson by Mark Kirby, the choices we make - or allow others to make for us - define our life. Will learns what matters most to him in the end and at what it may cost him to keep it. If there's a Will, there's a way.
