There really is an answer. There really is a truth. There really is a cure to cancer and AIDS and most of our deadly diseases. God is really here with us today, and there really is a way to bring about lasting and immediate world peace. There is a way for all the people of the world to understand and unite. There really is a way to produce free electrical energy and end the fuel and pollution and nuke age! And there really is a way to save our planet, and I donat think we can see it from herea] Let me invite you to a place where we can see all of these things that are nothing less than real modern-day miracles, a place where we human beings are all the same as God created us. Physically we are all identical replicas of aAdama according to science, with all of our God-given inherent positive instincts. We have chosen to separate ourselves from each other as if we were monkeys and giraffes and lions and idiots. I believe if we are ever to turn the tide of our future for our children, the future of mankind, we must come together just as human beings, none better and none less, because all we have to do is see the trutha]

Jimmy Buffett is one of the great contemporary singer/songwriters, and it’s hard to imagine a citizen of Planet Earth unfamiliar with such classic hits as “Margaritaville.” Jimmy has also written novels, children’s books, memoirs, and a stage musical based on Herman Wouk’s Don’t Stop the Carnival, and his family-friendly concerts almost always sell out to audiences comprised of a mix of dedicated Parrotheads, casual fans, and newbies. In The Great Filling Station Holdup, editor Josh Pachter presents sixteen short crime stories by sixteen popular and up-and-coming crime writers, each story based on a song from one of the twenty-nine studio albums Jimmy has released over the last half century, from Leigh Lundin’s take on “Truckstop Salvation” (which appeared on Jimmy’s first LP, 1970’s Down to Earth) to M.E. Browning’s interpretation of “Einstein Was a Surfer” (from 2013’s Songs from St. Somewhere). If you love Jimmy’s music or crime fiction or both, you’ll love The Great Filling Station Holdup. Mix yourself a boat drink, ask Alexa to put on a buffet of Buffett tunes, kick back, and enjoy!

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was riding a wave of success. The survivor of a difficult youth, he rose to become a top contender for the middleweight boxing crown. But his career crashed to a halt on May 26, 1967, when he and another man were found guilty of the murder of three white people and sentenced to three consecutive life terms. Written from prison and first published in 1974, The Sixteenth Round chronicles Hurricane's journey from the ring to solitary confinement. The book was his cry for help to the public, an attempt to set the record straight and force a new trial. Bob Dylan wrote his classic anthem "Hurricane" about his struggle, and Muhammad Ali and thousands of others took up his cause. The power of Carter's voice, as well as his ironic humor, makes this an eloquent, soul-stirring account of a remarkable life.

2006 Paterson Prize for Fiction"That master juggler of literary tears and laughter is at it again: Cathie Pelletier's Running the Bulls is a ribald, ruminating, and redemptive read."—Wally Lamb, author of She's Come Undone In small-town Maine, unhappily retired Howard Woods is shaken awake one morning by his wife, who confesses to a devastating affair. Unable to forgive his wife, Howard sets out on a journey in hope of finding life after tragedy. Determined to follow in the footsteps of Hemmingway, Howard travels to Pamplona, Spain to join the running of the bulls. His life promptly descends into chaos. But how does a middle-aged homebody, who has never even done his own laundry, salvage his manhood and pride and learn how to rebuild his life on his own? At once funny, insightful, and heartbreaking, Running the Bulls is perfect fans of Olive Kitteridge (Elizabeth Strout), The Language of Flowers (Vanessa Diffenbaugh), and The Good House (Ann Leary) who will be transfixed by this coming-of-age story of a late-middle-aged man. Also from Cathie Pelletier, The Mattagash Series: The Funeral Makers (Book 1): Welcome to Mattagash, Maine where everyone's personal lives are as entwined as their family trees. A Wedding on the Banks (Book 2): Amy Joy Lawler just announced her engagement—to an outsider! The Weight of Winter (Book 3): Surviving the winter will be hard; dealing with each other is another story. The One-Way Bridge (Book 4): Return to Mattagash—the anything but tranquil town where a mysterious dead body has just been found in the woods. What readers are saying about Running the Bulls "Running the Bulls is filled with humor, and frailty, and heroism, and is so very human." "Cathie Pelletier has once again given us a gift from the heart to both tickle and break our hearts." What reviewers are saying about Running the Bulls "Masterful work...subversive, humorous, and heartbreaking."— Publishers Weekly "Nobody walks the knife-edge of hilarity and heartbreak more confidently than Cathie Pelletier. In Running the Bulls she's at her skillful, sure-footed best." – Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls What people are saying about Cathie Pelletier "Cathie Pelletier generates the sort of excitement that only writers at the very top of their form can provide."—Stephen King "It is Pelletier's gift to be able to coax the drama from stony ground without artifice or sentimentality."—Boston Globe "An ambitious, fearless novelist."—The Washington Post "Cathie does a wonderful job of capturing [her characters'] moods and loves and losses, and yearnings...Her writing is lovely and so descriptive"— Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books, Mystic, CT "Sharp stuff...Her sentences are powerful and unique as snowflakes."—New York Times
