Larry Kaniut, besting-selling author of the Alaska Bear Tales
series wrote, "It's all here-living in bush Alaska, fighting off men, packing a pistol for bear protection, suffering the ravages of weather, flying with white-knuckled fear, facing down 100-mile an hour winds as well as fearing erupting volcanoes. And that's only part of their journey. You had to be there. Oh, wait. Melissa's book takes you there."

Timothy Hoover Soul Serenade: King Curtis and His Immortal Saxophone ISBN: 978-1-57441-881-1 "Soul Serenade is the definitive biography of one of the most influential musicians of the 50s, 60s, and early 70s. The book chronicles King Curtis’s meteoric rise from a humble Texas farm to the recording studios of Memphis, Muscle Shoals, and New York City as well as to some of the world’s greatest music stages, including the Apollo Theatre, Fillmore West, and Montreux Jazz Festival. Curtis’s “chicken-scratch” solos on the Coasters’ Yakety Yak changed the role of the saxophone in rock & roll forever. His band opened for the Beatles at their famous Shea Stadium concert in 1965. He also backed his “little sister” and close friend Aretha Franklin on nearly all of her tours and Atlantic Records productions from 1967 until his death. Soul Serenade is the result of more than twenty years of interviews and research. It is the most comprehensive exploration of Curtis’s complex personality: his contagious sense of humor and endearing southern elegance as well as his love for gambling and his sometimes aggressive temperament. It explores Curtis’s vibrant relationships and music-making with the likes of Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke, Isaac Hayes, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Sam Moore, Donny Hathaway and Duane Allman, among many others."

A Presidents Story Too: Another Novel of Power and Personality ISBN 978-1977265241 In the wake of the Civil War, fourteen men will succeed Abraham Lincoln and attempt to reunify the United States. As their personal tales intertwine and overlap on their way to the Presidency, they defer to Congress until it is clear that Democrats and Republicans are more concerned with the prerogatives of power and patronage than Lincoln's pledge of freedom and opportunity for all Americans. The 19th-century Presidents battle with Congress to reform how jobs and other benefits are dispensed, while the Presidents of the early 20th century find themselves presiding over a country that has transitioned from an agricultural economy-supported by slave and immigrant labor-to an industrial economy generating the wealth that thrusts the country onto the world stage.

Coal-fired power plants are built in record times, railways duel for the rights-of-way in and out of the coal fields, and wide spots in the road burst into towns and cities, demanding housing and schools, recreation and entertainment, hospitals and clinics. Miners and trainmen are hired by the hundreds--money flows while the good times roll.And true to the nature of the boom-and-bust American West, prosperity is followed by depravity--drugs, prostitution, and gambling, all to be dealt with by law enforcement that is understaffed and underfunded. Add to this storm of uncertainty a veteran of railroad law enforcement, Special Agent Will Allen. Retired (almost fired), Will is a private consultant working, when the spirit moves him, for any railway with a need for discretion--the unsolvable theft, the combustible tragedy, or--as in this case--the regrettable "accident," his specialty.

Tom Spence ISBN: 9781649222237 This volume, Observations and Commentary, is what its title bespeaks. Everything with which we interact daily can be the source of quandary or confusion, of interest, of interrogation, or of insight. The danger, as the poet says is in "...the ritual of postponing rituals, the deception that there is still plenty of time." After all, what finer ritual can one observe than to embrace the mystery, turn it over like a polished pebble in the hand, and wonder if the examiner is examined by his or her own question. If this collection of poetry lives up to its title, it gives voice to unexpected trajectories as ideas carom from impacts with observations often noted ironically, or irreverently, or with occasional insights which startled even the poet. The poet should not be immune from being informed by his or her own poetry.
