A powerful debut novel inspired by life, influenced by music, and twisted, by imagination. "Wild Mountain Honey" is a gripping coming-of-age two-part novel that takes you into the world of a wild-hearted young woman who desperately wants to finally feel like she belongs somewhere. Charlie has dreamt of living in the mountains, the place of her roots, for most of her life, and in a twisted turn of events, her dream does become a reality. She yearns to find her place in the world and embrace the free spirit she knows is inside of her. She longs to take chances, and live for herself for once, rather than take care of everyone else's wants and needs. Whether taking care of her mother due to role reversal or trying to sooth her own wounds that were bestowed upon her by other people in her life, she finds it hard to truly live, and find her happy. She hopes that the new simple life in Vermont she'd always dreamt about will be the key in finding it, but her sweet dream becomes a nightmare due to some new acquaintances. Throughout the whirlwind of uncertainty, she uncovers a dark secret about someone she thought she could trust, through a new acquaintance in which she was told, not to trust. She begins to question everyone around her, and wonders who to believe in, if anyone? Follow along as dirty secrets are exposed, hearts are shattered, chaos ensues, and finally, sweetness is found, but in a tragically unconventional and forbidden place.

In the third and final instalment in the Mountain Honey Series, 'Blue Clear Sky' completes our journey with our 'Wild Mountain Honey.' After getting back on track and finding her way once more, Charlie takes her chances on dating again. Friendship blooms, and she ends up placing her trust in the hands of a new acquaintance who gives her an unexpected gift in which she's not sure she can handle. Charlie learns a lot about those she loves in this final book, as she navigates her way through unchartered territory with the support of some, and the rejection of others. Still, she maintains her strength and battles her way through life with both courage, and pride. Charlie was finally getting used to the idea that maybe the sunshine state was where she belonged, until of course, everything changed that September day; the day in which a clear blue New York sky turned ominous, terrifying, and painful, while the whole world watched on helplessly. A switch flipped in her that day, and she became more determined than ever to build a life for herself that she was proud of, and to follow her dreams and heart. Continue to follow along as life-altering decisions are made, a new life is planned, hearts are rebuilt, and finally, true love is found in an unexpected, yet, familiar place.

Play It Loud celebrates the musical instruments that gave rock and roll its signature sound. Seven engrossing essays by veteran music journalists and scholars discuss the technical developments that fostered rock’s seductive riffs and driving rhythms; the evolution of the classic lineup of two guitars, bass, and drums; the thrilling innovations and expanded instrumentation musicians have explored to achieve unique effects; the powerful visual impact instruments have had; and the essential role they have played in the most memorable moments of rock and roll history.

Produced in collaboration with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this astounding book goes behind the music to offer a rare, in-depth look at the instruments that inspired the musicians and made possible the songs we know and love.

Here is an unprecedented fiction debut that is cause for celebration. Growing up in a family that valued the art of storytelling and the power of oral history, Thomas Steinbeck now follows in his father’s footsteps with a brilliant story collection. Down to a Soundless Sea resonates with the rich history and culture of California, recalling vivid details of life in Monterey County from the turn of the century through the 1930s. Steinbeck accomplishes an amazing feat: his stories have the feel of classic literature, but his haunting voice, forceful narrative drive, and dazzling imagery are unmistakably his own. In seven stories, Steinbeck traces the fates and dreams of an eccentric cast of characters, from sailors and ranchers, to doctors and immigrants—as each struggles to carve out a living in the often inhospitable environment of rocky cliffs, crashing surf, and rough patches of land along the California coast and the Big Sur. In “Blind Luck,” a wayward orphan finds his calling at sea, only to learn that life must concede to the whims of authority and the ravages of nature. In “Dark Watcher,” with the country at the start of the Great Depression, a professor craves a plausible discovery to boost his academic standing—and encounters the Indian myth of a shadowed horsemen that may ruin his career. “An Unbecoming Grace” tracks the route of a country physician who cares for an ill-tempered cur—but feels more concern for the well-being of the patient’s beleaguered young wife. The collection concludes with “Sing Fat and the Imperial Duchess of Woo,” a novella that follows the tragic love story between a young apothecary and the woman he hopes to marry. Deeply felt and richly imagined, full of compelling drama and historical authenticity, Down to a Soundless Sea heralds the arrival of a bold new voice in fiction. Thomas Steinbeck has written stories as memorable and rugged as the coastline that inspired them.
