Book excerpt: Experience the riveting, powerful story of the Native American civil rights movement and the resulting struggle for identity told through the high-flying career of West Coast rock 'n' roll pioneers Redbone. You've heard the hit song "Come and Get Your Love" in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, but the story of the band behind it is one of cultural, political, and social importance. Brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas were talented Native American rock musicians that took the 1960s Sunset Strip by storm. They influenced The Doors and jammed with Jimmy Hendrix before he was "Jimi," and the idea of a band made up of all Native Americans soon followed. Determined to control their creative vision and maintain their cultural identity, they eventually signed a deal with Epic Records in 1969. But as the American Indian Movement gained momentum the band took a stand, choosing pride in their ancestry over continued commercial reward. Created in cooperation of the Vegas family, authors Christian Staebler and Sonia Paoloni with artist Thibault Balahy take painstaking steps to ensure the historical accuracy of this important and often overlooked story of America's past. Part biography and part research journalism, Redbone tells a vivid story about this neglected chapter of American history.

Book excerpt: "That is what most people don't understand. They think success happens overnight - well I am here to say it doesn't. It truly takes dedication, perseverance, and a love for what you do to make your dreams come true. There were moments of blood, sweat, tears, and feelings of defeat that made these moments all worth it. The struggle led them to find their voice, a league of their own and make history...When you think about lives lived to their fullest, for the Vegas Brothers and Redbone, that would be an understatement. From performing on the #1 rated music show in the 60's titled "Shindig," sold out shows, #1 Singles/Albums, getting their song "We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee" banned from airplay in the US due to its brutal truth about the 7th Cavalry, to traveling all across the world, and performing at Royal Albert Hall for the Queen herself (and my dad accidentally calling her "Babe"). It wouldn't even begin to describe the untold memories and laughter shared through the years. It is only but a mere taste of what was on their plates from the second they decided their destiny." (From the Foreword by Frankie Vegas)

Book excerpt: Co-founder of the Women's March makes her YA debut in a near future dystopian where a young girl and her brother must escape a xenophobic government to find sanctuary. It's 2032, and in this near-future America, all citizens are chipped and everyone is tracked--from buses to grocery stores. It's almost impossible to survive as an undocumented immigrant, but that's exactly what sixteen-year-old Vali is doing. She and her family have carved out a stable, happy life in small-town Vermont, but when Vali's mother's counterfeit chip starts malfunctioning and the Deportation Forces raid their town, they are forced to flee. Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to her tía Luna's in California, a sanctuary state that is currently being walled off from the rest of the country. But when Vali's mother is detained before their journey even really begins, Vali must carry on with her younger brother across the country to make it to safety before it's too late. Gripping and urgent, co-authors Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher have crafted a narrative that is as haunting as it is hopeful in envisioning a future where everyone can find sanctuary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Pisani teams up with his sister, Lisa Brandi, to memorialize the extraordinary relationship he shared with Lolly Vegas, the lead singer and co-founder of a band that became rock royalty: Redbone. Stephen, a musician himself, comes from a show biz family whose own stories would also make one hell of a book... but this one is For the Love of Lolly. It's a collection of memories that are fond, funny and frickin' crazy! Lolly Vegas was Steve's next door neighbor and best friend. He was a Native American rock star who set the music world on fire with his blockbuster hit song "Come and Get Your Love." This musical trailblazer lived every day like it was his last, right up until the day that was his last. Stephen was blessed to be invited to go along for the ride, and what a ride it was. For the Love of Lolly is a recounting of remembrances centered around a friendship that changed Steve's perspective, his heart, and his life. In Stephen's own words... "Lolly's wisdom and unconditional brotherhood taught me to tame my demons, and once I had them under control, I could do anything I set my mind to--even write a book. He was weird and wild and wonderful. I believe these stories will touch your heart and tickle your funny bone, and I dare you to make it to the last page without reaching out to your best friend. So... for the love of God, get your copy of For the Love of Lolly today!"

Book excerpt: What do the King Kong Beat, Redbone, a possible induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and wild and crazy stories all have in common? Pete De Poe."From a strictly historical perspective, Pete De Poe is considered in many circles as one of the most prolific drummers of all time. He single handedly created a new sound in the rock drumbeat category, a unique sound that is dubbed, 'The King Kong Beat.' The origins of the name go back to Redbone and the idea that as De Poe played, Tony Bellamy stated to the effect, 'the sound seems to keep getting bigger and bigger.' Fellow rock drummer, David Garibaldi (Tower of Power), an icon in and of himself, has publicly stated that the King Kong Beat was the most important he had ever learned . . . De Poe, therefore, is an important historical figure in rock history because he pioneered a completely new sound, essentially marrying Jazz and Rock drumming through his King Kong Beat. Ironically . . . De Poe had asked me quite seriously, 'What is an icon?' Though I used that term to describe him a few days earlier, he did not fully understand the meaning of it. I replied, 'An icon is something or someone that's quickly recognizable, like a Coca Cola logo or Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. They are recognizable, because they are the best in their field.'" (From the Prologue)Now, Pete's no braggart, but his life has not only been important in Rock History, but also a wee bit wild. Perhaps most importantly, he's a great story teller. Find out why.

Book excerpt: Experimenta la fascinante y poderosa historia del movimiento de derechos civiles de los nativos americanos y su lucha por la identidad contada a través de la carrera de los pioneros del rock and roll de la costa oeste de Redbone. Ya has escuchado la exitosa canción "Come and Get Your Love" en la película Guardianes de la Galaxia, pero la historia de la banda detrás de la canción es de gran importancia cultural, política y social. Los hermanos Pat y Lolly Vegas fueron talentosos músicos de rock nativos americanos que tomaron por sorpresa el Sunset Strip de la década de 1960. Influyeron a The Doors y se toparon con Jimmy Hendrix antes de que fuera "Jimi", y la idea de una banda compuesta de miembros nativos americanos pronto se hizo realidad. Dedicados a controlar su visión creativa y mantener su identidad cultural, firmaron un acuerdo con Epic Records en 1969. Pero a medida que el Movimiento Indígena Americano cobró impulso, la banda tomó una posición, eligiendo el orgullo de su linaje en lugar de la recompensa comercial. Creado en cooperación con la familia Vegas, los autores Christian Staebler y Sonia Paolini con el artista Thibault Balahy toman medidas cuidadosas para garantizar la precisión histórica de este importante momento del pasado de los Estados Unidos que a menudo se ignora. Parte una biografía y parte una investigación, Redbone ofrece una voz a un grupo descuidado en la historia estadounidense. La historia detrás de Redbone es de importancia cultural, política y social. Proporciona una voz a un grupo descuidado en la historia estadounidense. Los hermanos Pat y Lolly Vegas fueron talentosos músicos de rock nativos americanos que tomaron el Sunset Strip y la radio de los años sesenta por sorpresa, pero a medida que el Movimiento Indígena Americano cobró impulso, la banda tomó una posición, eligiendo el orgullo de su linaje en lugar de la recompensa comercial.
