Things Fall Apart

Early one morning in 2011, Hilary Neiman, a prominent young attorney, was hard at work in the offices of her successful adoption and surrogacy practice, when three agents of the FBI entered without warning, read her Miranda rights, and informed her, “This is Your Come to Jesus Day.”
How does one go from being raised in a loving, ethical family, and earning an advanced education, including in the law, had a tradition of volunteerism, to being accused in national headlines of joining a baby- selling, human trafficking ring?  It was her darkest hour.
Eventually, Hilary would plead guilty--not to human trafficking but to wire fraud.  However the media would not announce that charge but allow the stigma of human trafficking and baby selling to remain attached to her name.  Hilary would forfeit her license to practice law, and spend five months in the Atwood Minimum Security Camp in Lexington, Kentucky. “Things Fall Apart” is Hilary’s story of a young woman with nothing but the promise of a fulfilled life ahead of her, whose childhood dream turned into a nightmare.

Set in the mid-1980’s Sunset Strip rock scene, Star Maker offers an all-access pass to the rise and fall of life in the music industry through the eyes of two up and coming stars: one aspiring executive and one aspiring artist.

Kit McKenna was determined to make a new life by moving out to Los Angeles where the rock scene was taking off. Fueled by blind ambition, she gladly left behind her sordid past in a rock band as the primary songwriter. Being a big-shot entertainment attorney and record executive was her chosen path now.

Once Kit landed in Hollywood, she quickly realized that the road was not paved in gold as she had thought. Rock bands were getting record deals almost weekly, but as a female manager she was constantly overlooked, not taken seriously, or even worse, harassed and propositioned. All of that changed one day when she signed Joe Arden to a legendary rock band as their flashy, new, lead guitarist, quickly turning him into a guitar god overnight. Then she met Sully Foxx, frontman of the struggling Sunset Strip rock band, Gypsy Tango and her whole life changed.

Sully had talent in spades. Kit recognized it from the moment he took the stage and started singing. She was already in over her head managing other bands on the Strip and juggling law school, but she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to manage Gypsy Tango. They were her diamond in the rough. She knew she could take them to that coveted spot that marked success: a seven figure record deal.

Despite the long hours, egomaniacs, and chauvinistic battles Kit was rising to the top and taking Gypsy Tango with her. Her focus was sharp, her desire strong, and her will unstoppable. And with Sully’s constant support and love, she felt invincible. But when things start to go off the rails and the success gets too big to manage for Joe and Gypsy Tango, Kit has to make tough choices that not only affect the band’s future, but her own.

Beautiful Things and How to Ignore Them

Beautiful Things and How to Ignore Them only 99 cents!
Author: Sam Kuban

"A Good Read for Bad People."
It started with a note. A note that was unfortunately misinterpreted. Red ink can sure send some mixed messages. So along came the suspicion. Quickly behind came the wide-eyed paranoia. And then came the catastrophe.
This collection of poems details the demise of thirteen townspeople, all of whom are as disgusting and undesirable as the deaths through which they suffer. So If you find it soothing to laugh at the misfortune, embarrassment, and humiliation of others, and if you chuckle at the thought of unjustified death, then this book might put a smirk on your cheek.
