Winning came naturally for Al Unser, Jr. He had a gift for finding the fast line on the track and he possessed a boisterous and lovable personality. Fans and the press adored him. Behind this affable persona, an appetite for drugs and alcohol was destroying his private life. Unser's battle to climb out of that cave is one of the great stories in motorsports. A Checkered Past is an unblinking story of triumph, tragedy, and the road to recovery.

Cataclysmic events set the stage for the formation of an unlikely partnership that will bend the course of history. In China a brutal attack by a rampaging warlord sends a rich young couple on a desperate voyage where they become targets of the Tong Of The Black Hand. Meanwhile, a half-dead Yankee officer escapes from a notorious Confederate prison and returns to his ranch and the arms of his raven haired wife, a beauty in bootpants. Fate, destiny, or maybe just pure accident will soon bring Malcolm and Steffi Frazier and Ben Wang and Su Chang together. Events unfold rapidly when copper prices skyrocket. Bank stock in an Arizona mining venture becomes available to Ben and his banker when the mine owners are gunned down. The bankers wife is murdered during a kidnapping in which Su Chang is captured by the Tong and taken to Colorado. Malcolm leads a high mountain rescue attempt and Steffi gains heroine status when forced into a gunbattle with rustlers, actions which endear them to Ben Wang who now controls the mining stock. In this fast paced thinking person's thriller, the reader is swept up in blazing action occurring in China, Kansas, Colorado, Mexico, and Arizona, and is treated to a rare look into the financial pressures and strategies to be dealt with as our heroes prepare to embark on the adventure of a lifetime: The quest for the untold riches of the Rose Pit Mine. It all welds a colorful cast of never-to-be-forgotten characters together in a saga which will enrich the reader from beginning to end. BLACK HAND OVER KANSAS-the first in a series of three books-stands alone. It can be enjoyed singly, or, if the reader is caught up in the adventure, THE JOURNADA DEL MUERTO and THE VICTORS will be available for publication soon.

"Fascinated with the rich tradition and youthful creativity of London in the 1960s and longing to leave suburban America, a wide-eyed twenty-year-old Californian named Peter Schlesinger arrived in 1968 with his partner, David Hockney, to study painting at the Slade School of Art. He stayed on for ten years and moved in some of the city's most intriguing social and artistic circles. Manolo Blahnik, Paloma Picasso, Ossie Clark, Cecil Beaton, Bianca Jagger, Christopher Isherwood, and Bryan Ferry - all became friends of the bright and talented Schlesinger, along with other prominent figures in the worlds of art, ballet, music, photography, film, and society." "Schlesinger was one of Hockney's favorite models and he appears in many of his most important paintings of this period, but he was a gifted artist in his own right, with a tireless interest in documenting the amazing world of London bohemia in which he found himself. His privileged position during these extraordinary years resulted in literally thousands of intimate photographs of friends and acquaintances in everyday situations, taken both at home in London and on numerous trips to continental Europe. Featuring 180 of the most artful and revealing images, Checkered Past guides us with a wry eye through the artists' studios, fashion shows, grand country houses, and gay discos that made London such a magnet during the late 1960s and early 1970s."--BOOK JACKET.

In a mix of interviews, essays, personal stories, historical snapshots, obscure anecdotes, and think pieces, this second expanded edition dissects, analyzes and celebrates ska in exactly the way fans have been craving for decades. With the addition of 4 new sections, Aaron adds to the already extensive compendium that was the first edition: The Importance of Christian Ska; After ska died in the '90s, the music went underground and returned to its roots; The ska roots of Fall Out Boy lead singer Patrick Stump; How Katrina created a vibrant ska scene in New Orleans. Aaron expands on the original edition with exciting interviews with Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy who he interviewed on his podcast of the same name. In Defense of Ska: Ska Now More Than Ever is the much-needed response to years of ska-mockery. Now the time to take to the streets and fight music snobbery, or at least crank up the ska without being teased ruthlessly, has come. This book will enlist ska-lovers as soldiers in the ska army and challenge ska-haters' prejudices to the core.

Would you risk your life seeking justice for a friend? Maryland lawyer, Stephanie Ann "Sam" McRae, is strapped for cash, when an old college friend asks her to help a citizens group fight a controversial development. Though loathe to take a zoning case, Sam is persuaded by the unusually high retainer, but the matter becomes personal when Sam finds Linda murdered. Because the citizens group is sharply divided, Sam investigates, needing to keep the client but not sure who to trust. When her investigation reveals a tangled web of lies, political corruption, and double-dealing, the search for Linda's killer puts Sam's own life in danger. REVIEWS AND ENDORSEMENTS "Hooray! Sassy, savvy Sam McRae is back and as determined as ever to see justice done. Deep6 opens with a gripping hook and delivers a carefully paced legal procedural leading to a satisfying, thought-provoking ending. A read you won't want to miss." -- Donna Fletcher Crow, author of A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary, The Monastery Murders "When a simple zoning case escalates to betrayal and murder, Sam's back is to the wall as she wonders who to trust. When people start dying, she must quickly uncover the truth before becoming one more victim. With long odds against her, Sam desperately navigates a complex web of deceit in this tense action tale." -- Dale T. Phillips, author of A Shadow on the Wall "Debbi Mack is back with another installment of her Sam McRae series. One thing you can always count on from Mack is sharp, realistic dialogue, and in Deep Six, she once again delivers. Sam McRae is a tough lady, but an everywoman, as well. ... From the opening line of this novel to its satisfying ending, Mack delivers a great, gritty, gorgeous mystery." -- Frank Zafiro, author of the River City series "Peppered with snappy, noir-tinted dialogue and Sam's sardonic narration, Deep Six is a perfect whodunit for a cozy night's reading in any season." -- W.D. Gagliani, author of the Nick Lupo series, including the Bram Stoker Award finalist Wolf's Trap
