Chuckin' Chuck: The Astonishing Tale of Charles Manson Pitching in the Major Leagues Feature

Desensitized. That's what all sports fans have become to the plethora of criminal-athletes that pervade our sports culture. So what will the bombastic owner of the New England Mavericks do when he learns that America's most notorious inmate has developed a literally unhittable pitch while playing for his prison baseball team? A sports world littered with bad boys who belong on Cops rather than on a box of Wheaties is deplorable. But when a man can throw the ball 81 times per game and not one pitch is so much as foul-tipped . . . what's not to love?

American Rebels

American Rebels Review


See more picture


American Rebels Feature

American Rebels is an anthology of specially commissioned essays by leading American writers that attempt to reconcile authentic patriotism with original artistic creation, unpopular opinion, and real moral principles that don't change with the winds. It includes rebels in politics, education, journalism, religion, literature, film, sports, music, law, popular culture, and social struggle. These are real rebels against conformity, commercialism, racism, oligarchy, the bogus conventional wisdom, stacked decks, and sacred cows. The Americans celebrated don't fit under any one ideology or party. They are too free-spirited to be categorized, belonging to a continuum of conviction and creation in our tangled national history. Some, like Walt Whitman, Bob Dylan, Marlon Brando, and Frank Sinatra, are famous. Others are less well known but have earned a broad appreciation; among them are Sam Fuller, Paul O'Dwyer, and Mike Harrington. Still others like Edward Abbey, Benjamin Mays, and Bill Hicks are almost cult figures—revered by a small, intense following. Others have faded from memory, like Margaret Sanger and Clarence Darrow, and deserve a new shaft of sunlight. This groundbreaking collection includes original essays by Pete Hamill, Stanley Crouch, Budd Schulberg, Danny Goldberg, J. Hoberman, Patricia Bosworth, Tom Hayden, Steve Earle, and others.

Into the Maelstrom Feature

Critical Praise. "....An extraordinary novel...a rich and compelling work of fiction..." -WriterFace.com, the online social network for writers and literary agents. "A haunting, gripping, supernatural tale, with mind bending games....all to play for and much to lose..." -Hertfordshire Mercury. Book Description. Matthew had lived a long life in the Deep South with racism rife and the KKK ruling the Southern States, like the civil war had never been fought at all. Matthew was poor and black but he had a rare gift of communicating with the spirit world. When he foresees a disturbing plot involving the family of two war heroes, Aleksei Rudikov and Samuel Johnson, enemies of the State, he unwittingly becomes embroiled in a lethal mind field of unholy power that stretches across three continents, and takes in a disturbing backdrop of dark players from the CIA and Vatican, to Russian agents, Mafia and the East German Stasi. In this taut and spine tingling chiller, the only way to safety is to go into the maelstrom, and risk everything to face evil in a spectacular and deadly showdown. Book Excerpt. "...The girl screamed as the cathedral bells tolled louder and louder until they drowned out the pathetic whimpering and wailing. Her mouth was still wide open in protest but no sound could be heard. Her eyes wide in terror as her face, a mask, shocked white with grief and contorted with pain. She suddenly stopped screaming and looked down. Then she toppled and fell a long drop, a long way down to an unforgiving, cold and lonely, stony grave..."
