A world that I had set out to conquer with my eyes on the prize to become a movie star. A road traveled and spiked with events and hair raising experiences that make you wonder? Would you believe that there is a catch when the most potent deal maker in Hollywood says to you that you will be the most significant action star in Hollywood? What would you do, if you went on a date with one of the most famous women in the world? Who do you think pays for it and how much would such a night cost? Ever wondered if the indecent proposal is just a movie or is the 1 million dollar price tag the going rate in Hollywood for a one-nighter? Do you want to know what it feels like it to be a high stakes gambler in Las Vegas, residing in penthouse suites with private rooftop pools while placing $5,000 chips per hand and not spending one dollar from your pocket? Did you know there are exotic rulers in this world who keep deadly secrets while harboring wealth beyond everyone's reach or imagination while at the same time rubbing elbows with the most famous people in the world? So why would one of them contact me, a Hollywood actor on Twitter before she finds herself kidnapped and disposed of in a mental institution? Do powerful gangsters have an affinity for Hollywood? It makes you wonder why an actor would be flown via Helicopter into the lair of the most notorious biker group in the world "The Hells Angels." Just sit back and enjoy a first-hand look into my Hollywood world of glitter, power, fame, and fortune. A world where serious and talented artists flock in from around the world with dreams of making it to the top. A world I live in which is barely separated and yet vastly shared with hustlers, con artists, wannabes."Matthias Hues is one of martial art cinema's all-time greatest villains to today. The giant, musclebound German fighter Matthias Hues has spent a career taking on and sharing the screen with the likes of Dolph Lundgren, Cynthia Rothrock, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Bolo Yeung, Billy Blanks, Lorenzo Lamas, and Mark Dacascos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surfers loathed them, teenagers flocked to them, critics dismissed them, producers banked on them--surf and beach movies. For a short time in the 1960s they were extremely popular with younger audiences--mainly because of the shirtless surfer boys and bikini-clad beach girls, the musical performers, and the wild surfing footage. This lavishly illustrated filmography details 32 sizzling fun-in-the-sun teenage epics from Gidget to the Beach Party movies with Frankie and Annette to The Sweet Ride plus a few offshoots in the snow!)

A once-in-a-lifetime acting audition catapulted struggling bull rider Morgan Prescott into overnight fame and fortune and labeled him one of Hollywood’s sexiest heartthrobs. But a reckless night from his past threatens to send his celebrity status into a downward spiral. Taking his brother’s advice, he devises a plan to reshape his rebellious bad-boy image and salvage his career. All he needs is a wholesome woman who’s willing to act the part of his beloved betrothed. Kara is quick to ignore Morgan’s advances when he strolls back into her life, donning a sexy you-can’t-resist me smile until he offers her a monetary solution to financial woes. The simple job of playing his fiancée for a night at an upcoming charity event seems harmless enough. But the sexual tension between the two of them quickly escalates into what could be a heartbreaking scenario for Kara when Morgan propositions her with an offer she can’t refuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey into the realm of VHS tapes and midnight showings where brawny barbarians rescue nubile virgins from evil wizards, giant snakes, and armies of the undead! Although originating in the era of the pulp magazines, sword and sorcery fiction enjoyed a cinematic boom in the 1980s; a decade that gave us Conan the Barbarian and The Beastmaster as well as more low-budget offerings like the Roger Corman-produced Deathstalker series and the Italian entries like Conquest and the Ator saga. Some of these movies are fondly remembered as cult classics today but many were released directly to VHS and lurked on the shelves of video rental stores before vanishing into obscurity. While some have long since lost their lustre, there are plenty of diamonds in the rough to be found. This book takes a comprehensive look at over 40 sword and sorcery movies from the 1980s, from the towering titans to the bargain basement sleaze-fests, unearthing them from their tombs and dusting them off so that they may shine once more.

Book excerpt: In this riveting popular history, the creator of You Must Remember This probes the inner workings of Hollywood’s glamorous golden age through the stories of some of the dozens of actresses pursued by Howard Hughes, to reveal how the millionaire mogul’s obsessions with sex, power and publicity trapped, abused, or benefitted women who dreamt of screen stardom. In recent months, the media has reported on scores of entertainment figures who used their power and money in Hollywood to sexually harass and coerce some of the most talented women in cinema and television. But as Karina Longworth reminds us, long before the Harvey Weinsteins there was Howard Hughes—the Texas millionaire, pilot, and filmmaker whose reputation as a cinematic provocateur was matched only by that as a prolific womanizer. His supposed conquests between his first divorce in the late 1920s and his marriage to actress Jean Peters in 1957 included many of Hollywood’s most famous actresses, among them Billie Dove, Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and Lana Turner. From promoting bombshells like Jean Harlow and Jane Russell to his contentious battles with the censors, Hughes—perhaps more than any other filmmaker of his era—commoditized male desire as he objectified and sexualized women. Yet there were also numerous women pulled into Hughes’s grasp who never made it to the screen, sometimes virtually imprisoned by an increasingly paranoid and disturbed Hughes, who retained multitudes of private investigators, security personnel, and informers to make certain these actresses would not escape his clutches. Vivid, perceptive, timely, and ridiculously entertaining, The Seducer is a landmark work that examines women, sex, and male power in Hollywood during its golden age—a legacy that endures nearly a century later.
