Book excerpt: Blissfully unaware of what the politicians called "the winds of change" in Africa, many of the delightful characters whom we first came to know in Selengai reappear here, living in that safe pocket of time before the simmering resentment of some of the indigenous Kenyan population escalated into the fanatical hatred that eventually resulted in full-scale terrorist groups, known collectively as the Mau Mau, who demanded independence from British rule. Whispering Grass will take you across the vast, sunburnt plains once more and lead you back to Selengai, Bahati and Saba Saba, the lives of their owners and those of their children. As the gentle breezes ripple the grasses so will it take you on safari into another more tranquil era where only the African wild could disturb the even tenor of their lives.

Book excerpt: The Swan Throne is the first part of the Under the Eagle trilogy, the epic saga of the nine hunters of the Angel of Death and their quest to shape or break the world of Tarmaan. The Swan Throne tells of a love that lent its light to a world darkened by violence and hate. It is the story of a young boy who grew into a man and a man who bravely accepted the fate lying before him. It is for those of us who have walked the paths of darkness and have found the light along the way. This story lives inside us all, because as we know, the night is darkest just before the dawn.

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller from the author of Watchmen and V for Vendetta finally appears in a one-volume paperback. Begging comparisons to Tolstoy and Joyce, this “magnificent, sprawling cosmic epic” (Guardian) by Alan Moore—the genre-defying, “groundbreaking, hairy genius of our generation” (NPR)—takes its place among the most notable works of contemporary English literature. In decaying Northampton, eternity loiters between housing projects. Among saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a timeline unravels: second-century fiends wait in urine-scented stairwells, delinquent specters undermine a century with tunnels, and in upstairs parlors, laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. Through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts singing hymns of wealth and poverty. They celebrate the English language, challenge mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon their slum as Blake’s eternal holy city in “Moore’s apotheosis, a fourth-dimensional symphony” (Entertainment Weekly). This “brilliant . . . monumentally ambitious” tale from the gutter is “a massive literary achievement for our time—and maybe for all times simultaneously” (Washington Post).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have completed this manuscript Just Remember This, or as American Pop Singers 1900-1950+, about music before the 1950s in America. It perhaps offers knowledge and insights not previously found in other musical reference books. I have moreover been working on this book very meticulously over the past twelve-plus years. It started as a bit of fun and gradually became serious as I began to listen along with the vocalists of popular music, of the era before 1950, essentially just before the dawn of rock and roll. If you can call it that! Indeed genre and labeling of American music started here, and then from everywhere. While the old adage of always starting from somewhere could be noted in every century, the 1900s had produced the technology. Understanding the necessity, more so, finds a curiosity on the part of a general public hungry for entertainment, despite 6 day work weeks, World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II.

Book excerpt: North Africa, 1942. Dust, heat, thirst, flies. A good clean fight, for those who like that sort of thing, and some do. From an advanced landing field, striking hard and escaping fast, our old friends from Hornet Squadron (Piece of Cake) play Russian roulette, flying their clapped-out Tomahawks on ground-strafing forays. Meanwhile, on the ground, the men of Captain Lampard's S.A.S. patrol drive hundreds of miles behind enemy lines to plant bombs on German aircraft. This is the story of a war of no glamor and few heroes, in a setting often more lethal than the enemy.
