Book excerpt: John McEuen is one of the founding members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, NGDB. Now 50-years strong, the band is best known for its evergreen bestselling album Will the Circle Be Unbroken and for its gorgeous version of the song "Mr. Bojangles." McEuen is one of the seminal figures who conceived and originated the fusion of folk, rock and country, a unique sound still hugely popular today. In addition to performing on tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and on dozens of bestselling NGDB albums (many of which went platinum and gold), McEuen also has a successful solo performing and recording career. And as a music producer, he won the Grammy Award in 2010 for producing The Crow, a music album by Steve Martin, John's lifelong friend. McEuen writes candidly and movingly about the ups and downs in his life. Among the highs was NGDB's tour of the Soviet Union in 1977; they were the first American group to perform there. Among the downs was the breakup of his family in the 1980s. McEuen is a born storyteller, and his tales of working with everyone from Linda Ronstadt to Willie Nelson to Johnny Cash to the Allman Brothers to Bob Dylan to Dolly Parton to, of course, Steve Martin will thrill every fan of folk, rock, and country music alike.

Cancer affects patients and survivors not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. Living through cancer impacts one’s sense of self, one’s energy level, and one’s ability to move on. The cancer experience calls into question the meaning and purpose of life. It affects one’s relationship with self, others, and God. Moving forward from the shock and trauma of cancer requires that survivors take time to address these inner dimensions of their cancer experience. This book does just that. It is a compelling personal journey through the many challenges faced by survivors as they attempt to reclaim their life after cancer. The author, a ten year cancer survivor, believes that facing and walking through the emotional and spiritual upheaval of the cancer experience can have a transforming effect on one’s life. She describes her own process, focusing on the first two years after diagnosis---a time of intense fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and turmoil. Acknowledging, facing, and walking through this pain brought her to a place of greater emotional and spiritual freedom---to a richer quality of life. Although each story is unique, survivors live through similar emotional and spiritual struggles. Questions included at the end of each chapter invite the reader to reflect upon their personal journey as a way of working through whatever is preventing them from moving forward. This book is a must read for survivors living through the inner struggles surrounding their cancer experience and movement forward. It is a source of support for those feeling alone in their pain. It is a guide for those wishing to heal and grow emotionally and spiritually from the crisis of cancer. It offers hope and encouragement to all cancer survivors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Rush Into Marriage? If love and attraction are all you need for a happy and long-lasting marriage, why do so many great relationships end in a breakup? Why is cohabitation becoming more common while marriages are becoming less common? In the past, our ancestors usually didn't get married because they loved each other. Instead, they did it to join families and raise children together. Their marriages were usually set up by their parents, and they would start with a betrothal. They lacked the same benefits, rights, and systems that modern spouses in many countries enjoy. Can we say that the relationships between modern couples are better than those of our ancestors, given that mutual love is the main reason people get married today? This book talks about the truths most would-be couples ignore before they decide on their own to get married. Once their marriage becomes miserable, they start to realize that they made mistakes in their choice of partner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Harvey's] use of Saxon's letters . . . provide a unique and objective way of analyzing this fascinating individual while allowing Saxon to speak for himself." -Louisiana Libraries "Pays him the respect he deserves and uncovers the essential loneliness of the most convivial of men." -New Orleans Times-Picayune "Saxon's life makes an interesting story and Harvey's prose brings it fully to life." -Brookhaven Daily Leader Here is the first full biography of the legendary writer known as Mr. Louisiana and Mr. New Orleans. Lyle Saxon's life was colorful, busy, and full of contrasts. He presented himself as the perfect Southern gentleman, but he grew up fatherless in modest circumstances. As host of a French Quarter salon, Saxon dispensed drinks, anecdotes, loans, and advice to many friends, including William Faulkner, Oliver La Farge, and Sherwood Anderson, yet he was often lonely and retreated to his solitary cabin at Melrose Plantation. While Saxon was ambivalent toward his work with the WPA Writers' Project, begrudging the time it took from his own writing, the Louisiana division was, under his direction, the most productive in the United States. Though Saxon's history books bought him fame and a place in New York literary circles, he was deeply insecure about his talent and mourned his inability to write novels. A Southern-literature scholar and a longtime fan of Lyle Saxon, Professor Harvey has researched the facts behind Saxon myths and presents the reality behind his legend. This volume also contains excerpts from Saxon's correspondence with family and friends, including letters from Grace King, William Spratling, and Sherwood Anderson. Lyle Saxon wrote history books, Father Mississippi, Old Louisiana, Fabulous New Orleans, and Lafitte the Pirate; a novel, Children of Strangers; and a memoir, The Friends of Joe Gilmore. He was a coauthor of the folklore collection Gumbo Ya-Ya. All are available from Pelican.
