"People say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I guess that's true with me and my pops; even though I've only met him twice in my life, once at the age of seven, and again at twenty-two, we had a lot in common. What we had in common was in my bloodline from the start; pimpin' and dealing drugs." - Handle Ur Biz

Money talks...but what does it tell us? One Crazy Bastard: The True Story of a Kansas City Hustler chronicles the messages one man heard and the shocking ways he responded. Early in life, money called PJ McGraw into action, urging him to do whatever it took to go from rags to riches. He dropped out of school-in seventh grade-and ran away to chase the buck across North America as a carnival worker and hustler. The next time money called, McGraw shifted into the adult entertainment industry, where he became entangled with gangsters, dealers, and corrupt government employees and eventually landed in jail for tax evasion. At this point, some folks would've ended the conversation, but not McGraw. He was willing to go the distance, no matter where it took him. And where exactly did it take him? Step inside this revealing romp to find out-and prepare to laugh, cry, and shake your head in disbelief. One Crazy Bastard is a sensational yet sincere set of autobiographical vignettes that will appeal to anyone who, like the author, has sidestepped convention to get ahead, as well as to readers interested in riveting personal accounts about roads less traveled.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER For the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law. In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history. Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback—and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.

Caleb Devine was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. The oldest of four, he battled abuse and neglect at an early age. At age sixteen, he ran away from his adopted mother, leaving his two younger sisters. Homeless and alone in the infamous streets of New Orleans, he became a full-fledged pimp by age seventeen. His short career as a gentleman of leisure quickly ended with the suicide death of one of his main girls. Broke and almost homeless again, Caleb uprooted and moved to Houston, Texas where he became inducted into the illicit drug trade which ultimately landed him in The Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Prison for a young black male was both dangerous and rough. He served five and a half years among some of the most hardened criminals that Texas had to offer. Daily fist-fights and stabbings were the norm for him, but yet he survived to share his story with the masses. After sixteen years of freedom, Caleb is now a law-abiding citizen and resides in Austin, Texas. In 2013, he decided to write this book, Bona Fide Hustler: Based On A True Story sharing the chronicles and perils of his life as a way to reach out to America's youth.

The high priestess of the hood, Nikki Turner, is back with the novel fans have been feenin’ for: the sequel to her #1 bestselling novel, A Hustler’s Wife. Des, Virginia’s slickest gangsta, is about to become a dad when he is charged with the murder of his own attorney. But with Yarni, his gorgeous wife (and a brilliant lawyer), now calling the shots, Des isn’t going back to the slammer without a fierce fight. Even with the heat on, Des manages to take his game to the next level and finds a new hustle, one that will allow him to possess the three things all major players desire: money, power, and respect. He becomes a preacher. Reluctantly, Yarni stands by her man as he trades in his triple beam scale for a Bible and a Bentley and makes his Church of the Good Life Ministry a welcoming place for all sinners to step up to the altar. But when Des’s nephew is killed in the high-stakes heroin trade and Des learns that someone close to him okayed the hit, the dyed-in-the-wool gangsta sets aside the Bible for the gospel of the streets–even if it means risking the one person who’s always had his back.

Shock jock extraordinaire Wendy Williams lets loose with the first in a series of novels based on her alter ego, the divalicious radio DJ Ritz Harper. Ritz puts the s in shock and the g in gossip, and Drama is her middle name. Ritz is a suburban girl on the outside, but inside she’s a hustler’s hustler who’s masterfully maneuvered her way into the spotlight after ruining the career of a well-respected newswoman (and former college friend). Ritz’s “exclusive” rockets her to the top of the ratings, and she’s rewarded with her very own show. Like a talking Venus flytrap, she verbally seduces her on-air guests, only to have them for lunch as she spews gossip about their lives. Ritz becomes the darling of the station’s afternoon slot. But when Ritz goes from drive-time diva to drive-by victim, all she can think as she struggles to maintain consciousness is “Who did this to me?" Has Ritz bad-mouthed the wrong person? Has her signature cat-and-mouse “bomb drop” been dropped on her instead? Readers will salivate as they try to figure out where the fictional Ritz ends and the real-life Wendy begins.
