Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King Edward and his hardbitten General´s yea and nay was smooth-sailing, but betrayed by anger and revenge. Prince Andor and Princess Victoria´s love was that of first sight, and they fell deeply in it. The beloved Prince did everything he could to stop her from joining her friends to war against England, but the Princess was hell-bent on that. Unknown to him, she was even pregnant, but for who? Most of the greatest losses and victories in life do not come with deafening hubbub; sometimes, not even with a clank; they mostly whisper their ways through to accomplishment. He who chuckled at yells, threats, and jangles of swords and breastplates; he who smiled at the gloomiest of futures, and built his tent amid hunger, shame, negligence, and terror, the same is the bystander.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an engaging narrative, The Jews of Long Island tells the story of how Jewish communities were established and developed east of New York City, from Great Neck to Greenport and Cedarhurst to Sag Harbor. Including peddlers, farmers, and factory workers struggling to make a living, as well as successful merchants and even wealthy industrialists like the Guggenheims, Brad Kolodny spent six years researching how, when, and why Jewish families settled and thrived there. Archival material, including census records, newspaper accounts, never-before-published photos, and personal family histories illuminate Jewish life and experiences during these formative years. With over 4,400 names of people who lived in Nassau and Suffolk counties prior to the end of World War I, The Jews of Long Island is a fascinating history of those who laid the foundation for what has become the fourth largest Jewish community in the United States today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Applause Books). Black and Blue: The Redd Foxx Story tells the remarkable story of Foxx, a veteran comedian and "overnight sensation" at the age of 49 whose early life was defined by adversity and his post- Sanford and Son years by a blur of women, cocaine, endless lawsuits, financial chaos, and a losing battle with the IRS. Foxx's frank, trailblazing style as the "King of the Party Records" opened the door for a generation of African-American comedians including Dick Gregory, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and Chris Rock. Foxx took the country by storm in January 1972 as crotchety, bow-legged Watts junk dealer Fred Sanford in Sanford and Son , one of the most beloved sitcoms in television history. Fred's histrionic "heart attacks" ("It's the big one, Elizabeth! I'm comin' to join ya, honey!") and catchphrases ("You big dummy!") turned Fred Sanford into a cultural icon and Redd Foxx into a millionaire. Sanford and Son took Foxx to the pinnacle of television success but would also prove to be his downfall. Interviews with friends, confidantes, and colleagues provide a unique insight into this generous, brash, vulnerable performer a man who Norman Lear described as "inherently, innately funny in every part of his being."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beeeeeeeeeeeep! This is a jest. This is only a jest. Rhymes from the Recliner: A Collection of Couch Potato Poetry is a light-hearted devotional to classic television programming. It's tinted with humor, irony, and affection, and intended to put a horizontal hold on lovers of prose and tv shows. It is easily enjoyed by most everyone, though poetry readers and music listeners may be the most enthusiastic, for they will also notice that many of the poems are patterned after well known pieces of poetry and popular songs. It is for people who have grown tired of others tuning in and dropping out when they quote the same old, stuffy bits of philosophy about life and love. It is for those who want to arm themselves with a clever verse about The Love Boat or Name that Tune, and turn themselves into a regular boob-tube troubadour. It can be enjoyed with a latte at one's favorite coffee shop, or with a beer and a bag of chips on an old sofa, munching and giggling to Hee Haw as interpreted thru Shakespeare. There really is something good on television this book.

Book excerpt: Spontaneous Generation is a story about coming of age in the Sixties (which, of course, oozed into the Seventies)-an American story, both individual and collective, about love and politics, mirrors and passages. I began writing it in 1972, while it was still happening thick and fast . and didn't get around to finishing it until 2005, when I'd reached the age at which remembering becomes easier than doing. The story concerns a girl stuck in right field, a descent into an outhouse, male hair, Free Air, flag tattoos, and what happens to things we think we've gotten rid of.
