The Complete Poetic Works of Michael Madsen
Actor, Poet and Photographer Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill Vol I & II, ESPN's Tilt) releases the only authorized, 10 year Anniversary Edition of his poetry. This book is six-books-in-one that celebrates a decade of Madsen's poetic sketches on the road, on the movie sets and at home. He has been compared to Kerouac and even Charles Bukowski. The book is also loaded with rare photos from Madsen's professional and personal life.
Signs of Life
Actor, poet and now photographer Michael Madsen of Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill Vol. I & II, Donnie Brasco and ESPN's Tilt chronicles his time spent off the movie sets in this full color photography book. The locations range from Texas to Terezin. Madsen dedicates this book to the memory of his friend and Reservoir Dog, co-star Chris Penn.
American Badass
Michael Madsen is more than just the critically acclaimed actor best known for his role as Mr. Blonde in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, he is also a prize winning poet. Michael's first professionally published book, Burning in Paradise, won the Independent Firecracker Award in 1998. The Complete Poetic Works of Michael Madsen, Vol. I: 1995-2005, which was published by 13 Hands Publications in 2005, is a complete ten year volume and compilation of his work. He has since chronicled his life and travels as an actor and photographer in Signs of Life (2006) and in 2008 Michael gained international attention when his book Burning In Paradise was translated in Norwegian for the first time. He has since then been invited to Italy and Mexico as a poet. Michael Madsen's forthcoming book, American Badass, will be released on September 25, 2009 and is a stunning photo journey of Madsen's iconic and cinematic history interspersed with new poetry. Michael Madsen continues to turn in edge-of-the-seat performances, but his poetry continues to tell the backstory of his life.
Expecting Rain
Michael Madsen has been gaining ground since 2005 as a true rebel poet in the style of the classic beats and Charles Bukowski. His books have been an international success. Expecting Rain is his forthcoming work once again blending poetry and original photography and classic, never before seen, images from Michael Madsen's films. This book will be dedicated to the late and iconic Dennis Hopper. Intro by Jerry Hopkins. Jerry Hopkins is an American author and journalist.

Burning in Paradise
Actor/writer Michael Madsen's poetry explores the intense and gritty experiences of a man living life on the edge and chronicles episodes of loneliness, infidelity, depression, drugs, and sex.
Blood & Ashes
Some times, the blood boils in the heat of the moment--leading to impetuous acts. They don't call someone "hot-blooded" for nothing! But the heat fades, leaving the ashes of dreams and regrets behind. Until all that is left is cold-blooded, passionless cruelty. The writers of Thirteen O'Clock examine these three stages in this volume of twisted tales. Whether your blood runs hot or cold, or all you have are ashes, there is something for everyone within its pages.
The Careers of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas as Referenced in Literature
"The Careers of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas as Referenced in Literature" is a study of the perception of these two Hollywood megastars and their work, as presented in the text and context of references and allusions found in world literature. This book also aims to establish the impact factor of the two actors and their major films, as well as to provide extensive data for further studies of the complex and bilateral relationships between film and literature. The pertinent quotations have been extracted from over 150 works—novels, short stories, plays, poems and some nonfiction biographies and memoirs (excluding those focused on film celebrities)—by more than 120 authors.

Lee Marvin
The first full-length, authoritative, and detailed story of the iconic actor's life to go beyond the Hollywood scandal-sheet reporting of earlier books, this account offers an appreciation for the man and his acting career and the classic films he starred in, painting a portrait of an individual who took great risks in his acting and career. Although Lee Marvin is best known for his icy tough guy roles—such as his chilling titular villain in The ManWho Shot Liberty Valance or the paternal yet brutally realistic platoon leader in The Big Red One—very little is known of his personal life; his family background; his experiences in WWII; his relationship with his father, family, friends, wives; and his ongoing battles with alcoholism, rage, and depression, occasioned by his postwar PTSD. Now, after years of researching and compiling interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues; rare photographs; and illustrative material, Hollywood writer Dwayne Epstein provides a full understanding and appreciation of this acting titan's place in the Hollywood pantheon in spite of his very real and human struggles.
