"The tale begins in an age before cities crowned the horizon—when treasure maps were scrawled on weathered parchment, their edges tattered by wind and time. In this distant era lived a poor prospector named Juriel (pronounced “Zhuriel”), ever convinced that fortune lay just one more day’s journey ahead. He dreamed of riches beyond imagining, though in truth, his heart beat fastest for the glint of gold. His sole companion was a horse—though “companion” was a generous word for how the animal was treated. Juriel had never given him a name, calling him simply “Horse,” as though he were nothing more than a tool to be used or traded. Yet Horse was no ordinary creature. Tall and powerfully built, with broad shoulders and a thick, muscular neck, he carried the grandeur of heroes carved in ancient stone. His coat was a flawless black, sleek and luminous like polished onyx, marked only by a tuft of white on his brow. His mane spilled like midnight silk, and his deep, unyielding eyes seemed to look straight into truths hidden from others. That morning, Juriel’s temper flared. Furious at Horse for snapping a rope and devouring the sack of oats meant for sale, he raised his hand, the leather strap slicing the air with a sharp, dangerous hiss. Yet Horse did not move, meeting his master’s glare with those fathomless eyes—a silent testament to patience and loyalty undeserved. Just as Juriel’s arm rose again, a voice drifted through the dusty street: “Why waste your strength on such a useless animal? Come—step inside.” The speaker was a strange old man, framed in the doorway of an odd little shop—its walls warped and sun-bleached, its wooden frame worn by decades. Above hung a cracked, faded sign, its letters long surrendered to time. Something in the man’s presence rooted Juriel to the spot. The whip fell from his grasp, and as if pulled by an unseen force..."

Sharon Tate Campaign Plan MMXX: The Result of a Deliberative Process That Contemplates a New Dawn in Hollywood

"In 1969, the nearly nine months pregnant celebrity Sharon Tate loses her life and the life of her unborn child, horrifying hundreds of millions of Americans. How do we restore the dignity of Sharon Tate in the American psyche from an ocean of morbidity on a level unseen in the history of the United States? Sharon Tate Campaign Plan MMXX transcends the problem, navigating Sharon Tate's enigma with a clear defense of her person as someone worthy of admiration. The book details flexible options that reverse the present situation by reintroducing Sharon Tate to the American public. Only 26 years old when she died, the story of Sharon's life became of less public interest than learning about the hippie lives of her murderers. Despite this, Sharon possesses a formidable arsenal of relatively unseen visual media for planners to work with. Plan MMXX envisions a new dawn in Hollywood and promotion of the greater good."

Delta Lady: Memoir

"The two-time Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter bares her heart and soul in this intimate memoir, a story of music, stardom, love, family, heritage, and resilience. She inspired songs—Leon Russell wrote “A Song for You” and “Delta Lady” for her, Stephen Stills wrote “Cherokee.” She co-wrote songs—“Superstar” and the piano coda to “Layla,” uncredited. She sang backup for Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, and Stills, before finding fame as a solo artist with such hits as “We're All Alone” and “(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher.” Following her story from Lafayette, Tennessee to becoming one of the most sought after rock vocalists in LA in the 1970s, Delta Lady chronicles Rita Coolidge’s fascinating journey throughout the ’60s-’70s pop/rock universe. A muse to some of the twentieth century’s most influential rock musicians, she broke hearts, and broke up bands. Her relationship with drummer Jim Gordon took a violent turn during the legendary 1970 Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour; David Crosby maintained that her triangle with Stills and Graham Nash was the last straw for the group. Her volatile six-year marriage to Kris Kristofferson yielded two Grammys, a daughter, and one of the Baby Boom generation’s epic love stories. Throughout it all, her strength, resilience, and inner and outer beauty—along with her strong sense of heritage and devotion to her family—helped her to not only survive, but thrive. Co-written with best-selling author Michael Walker, Delta Lady is a rich, deeply personal memoir that offers a front row seat to an iconic era, and illuminates the life of an artist whose career has helped shape modern American culture."

Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Life in L.A.'s Legendary Rock and Roll Neighborhood

"Laurel Canyon was the neighborhood perched above the clubs and record companies of Sunset Strip where Joni Mitchell, Jim Morrison, Graham Nash, Cass Elliot, Carole King, Don Henley, and Peter Tork, just to name a few, lived and collaborated to make an indelible mark on our music and our culture. Starting with The Byrds in 1965, these musicians began combining the effusive harmonies of folk music with the sounds of the British rock invasion. From their song craft was born the singer-songwriter movement and a new style of American pop that thrives on. This is not only a history of an important period in rock music but also the story of what happened to the peace and love philosophy of the sixties, as hard drugs and easy sex began to take their toll and the gruesome Wonderland murders signaled the end of the era.
