Book Description
Aaron Emerson grew up as the son of a successful minister in Mason, Michigan. Blessed with a loving, caring family, he had the makings of a great life. At 14, however, his dad was unexpectedly fired from the church he helped build, right after the tragic passing of his cousin. Aaron turned to marijuana and alcohol, finding pleasure in covering up the pain he was experiencing. A year later, he was introduced to prescription pills and eventually became addicted to Oxycontin. Once Oxycontin became too expensive and hard to find, he made the decision to switch to a cheaper, more potent drug: heroin. Heroin would take Aaron through a life of hardcore addiction, lengthy jail stints, and several near-death experiences. After years of addiction that saw a once middle class teenager turn into a felon and become homeless, a journey to find recovery transpired. That journey took Aaron to several rehabs and through many heartbreaking relapses. However, recovery from his addiction was ultimately found, and now he shares his story around the state to raise awareness and spread hope. Throughout his addiction and recovery, Aaron journaled and wrote about all of his experiences. He has now published his journal entries full of addiction, jail, rehab, overdose, relapse, and recovery. This book is the collection of all of those writings that shaped his life for several years.

Book Description
One of the most recognized, successful, and controversial faces in bodybuilding, Aaron Singerman has risen from the depths of drug addiction to the heights of business--only to fall again and do time in a federal prison. Now, he's back and telling all. Take a roller coaster ride with Aaron in this tragic, uplifting, and shocking memoir detailing the highest peaks and lowest valleys of a fascinating life. With much of the book written from prison in an honest, funny, and self-deprecating manner, Aaron tells of growing up a problem child, becoming a refugee after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina, and barely surviving as an intravenous cocaine and heroin user. After finally getting clean and forcing his way into the bodybuilding and supplement world to grow an empire, Aaron hurtled back toward rock bottom when he was suddenly arrested and sent to prison. Equal parts business book, cautionary tale, self-help manual, and unbelievable memoir, RedCon Rising delivers lessons for all in an entertaining, conversational fashion while holding nothing back. Read Aaron's incredible true stories about injecting heroin by candlelight in a FEMA apartment in Houston after witnessing the murder of his drug dealer; being thrown out of the multimillion-dollar business he grew from scratch; being indicted and serving a prison sentence until his release in December of 2022; and much, much more. RedCon Rising is a master class in owning your life--the good and the bad--and making no excuses for those tribulations. Aaron Singerman has led what seems to be multiple lives, and his book offers readers a cheat sheet to success, forged through a lifetime of grave mistakes and soaring successes.

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller "Ripped from the headlines . . .

Book Description
The unvarnished true story of the tragic life and death of Aaron Hernandez, the college All-American and New England Patriots star convicted of murder, told by one of the few people who knew him best, his brother. To football fans, Aaron Hernandez was a superstar in the making. A standout at the University of Florida, he helped the Gators win the national title in 2008. Drafted by the New England Patriots, in his second full season with the team he and fellow Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski set records for touchdowns and yardage, and with Tom Brady, led New England to Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. But Aaron’s NFL career ended as quickly as it began. On June 26, 2013, he was arrested at his North Attleboro home, charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd, and released by the Patriots. Convicted of first-degree murder, Aaron was sentenced to life in prison without parole. On May 15, 2014, while on trial for Lloyd's murder, Aaron was indicted for two more murders. Five days after being acquitted for those double murders, he committed suicide in his jail cell. Aaron Hernandez was twenty-seven years old. In this clear-eyed, emotionally devastating biography—a family memoir combining football and true crime—Jonathan (formerly known by his nickname DJ) Hernandez speaks out fully for the first time about the brother he knew. Jonathan draws on his own recollections as well as thousands of pages of prison letters and other sources to give us a full portrait of a star athlete and troubled young man who would become a murderer, and the darkness that consumed him. Jonathan does not portray Aaron as a victim; he does not lay the blame for his crimes on his illness. He speaks openly about Aaron’s talent, his sexuality, his crimes and incarceration, and the CTE that ravaged him—scientists found that upon his death, Aaron had the brain of a sixty-seven-year old suffering from the same condition. Filled with headline-making revelations, The Truth About Aaron is a shocking and moving account of promise, tragedy, and loss—of one man’s descent into rage and violence, as told by the person who knew him more closely than anyone else.

Praise for Confessions Of A High-Priced Call Girl: "With clients that included Oscar winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, Dimitra became the Happy Hooker of the 1990s. Now she shares some of her juiciest anecdotes in a tell-all book that promises to be a best-seller." --Hustler Magazine A prince from Oman flies Dimitra from New York to Las Vegas on a private jet; a 65-year old business tycoon who, in the days before Viagra demands little more than the 24-old Dimitra's company; a hot film actor who is so well-endowed he is "painful." But no other client receives more attention than Aaron Sorkin. They meet, start a two-year long drug-fueled relationship, and lose touch. They start e-mailing eight years later, and by this time Sorkin has written a call girl character into his TV show, The West Wing. Amber is a call girl and one of Dimitra's best friends. She is attacked and nearly killed by a serial murderer who poses as a client. After Amber's life is almost destroyed, Dimitra thinks being on The West Wing would restore Amber's self-esteem. She tells Sorkin about the attack, and asks him to audition Amber for the show. After all, he always writes in his e-mails that he wants to be friends, and Amber is more gorgeous than anybody on The West Wing. But is he truly a friend? Or, are these only some of his many words on paper, so to speak? Confessions Of A High-Priced Call Girl is an extraordinary journey that will enthrall readers with its stylish writing, secrets and lies, wit and lust.
