On May 20, 2015, Dave said, "Thank you and goodnight." The Foo Fighters sang "Everlong," and Late Show with David Letterman ended its run. The final six weeks of the series had guests like Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, and the Obamas. All names you have heard many times. But it was the people behind the scenes who pulled off these twenty-eight unforgettable episodes of late-night television. Author Scott Ryan conducted over twenty interviews with the staffers of David Letterman. Most of the participants had never given interviews before. The writers, directors, producers, and stage managers offer a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to work on these shows. Find out wh...
Tris: 2. Vipers’ Nest by Morgan Bruce The second installment of the intriguing new sequel to the Alexei, Accidental Angel series, aka “The Angel heptalogy” Having survived the ordeal of being taken over by Ahaitan – an angel who has turned evil – Tris tries to start living on the island with his new parents. The exorcism that was necessary to remove Ahaitan’s influence has left him with no memory of events beyond the plane crash that killed his parents. Not remembering any of the hurt he caused while under Ahaitan’s influence, Tris is puzzled as to why he is suddenly being treated as an outcast by some on the island, to the extent that none of the other children are allowed to have him as a friend. The unexpected chance to help an old school friend inevitably reacquaints him with his past, and the misguided actions of a manipulative uncle who runs an American church group. This leads Tris to not only realise why he is being ostracised, but also gives him a path to redemption.
In 1990, David Lynch was on top of the world. Wild at Heart won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and Twin Peaks was the hottest show on TV. In 1992, he released Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. It sure is amazing how fast coffee can get cold. The film was not well received, to say the least, by critics or ticket buyers. It seemed like the verdict was in: Twin Peaks was dead and wrapped in plastic. Thirty years later, the film is thought by many to be Lynch's masterpiece. Author Scott Ryan (Moonlighting: An Oral History, The Blue Rose magazine) was among the few Twin Peaks fans who saw the film on the day it was released and loved it from the beginning. He takes an in-depth look at the film, its legacy, and the people who created it, weaving in his own story of how the film has inspired him throughout his life, and still does. The book features Interviews with cowriter Bob Engels, editor Mary Sweeney, lead actress Sheryl Lee, and other cast members, as well as Ryan's essays covering the different iterations of the script, Angelo Badalamenti's superb score. This is an ambitious, unique exploration of one of the darkest films ever created by the master himself, David Lynch.

The one thing May knows is that she loves her children. Most of the time, that love is easy: they don't fight, their grades are all right, and they even laugh at some of her jokes. Then her son, Chris, tells May that he's gay, and that easy love becomes harder. Everything May grew up hearing told her that being gay was wrong--but it's Chris. An exploration of what it means to love your family, Prophets in the Sky is based off of personal experiences and interviews with parents and children to ask what it means to support those you care about.
A furious denunciation of America’s coronavirus criminals Hundreds of thousands of deaths were caused not by the vicissitudes of nature but by the callous and opportunistic decisions of powerful people, as revealed here by John Nichols. On March 10, 2020, president Donald Trump told a nation worried about a novel coronavirus, “We’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” It has since been estimated that had Trump simply taken the same steps as other G7 countries, 40 percent fewer Americans would have died. And it was not just the president. His inner circle, including Mike Pence and Jared Kushner, downplayed the crisis ...
