Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosea spoke, her voice steady. “I was in jail a long time, you know. I’m paying for my sins. Now I live in a dingy apartment. I get to watch my neighbors’ kids play and have a normal life that I’ll never have. I smell their barbecues. I’m already in hell, believe me.” Joe turned to go back to the car. “You don’t know what hell is. You have no idea.” When José Francisco Verguerio Silva arrives at LAX, fleeing the brutal dictatorship in his native Brazil, he is determined to become Americanized at all costs. He lands a job driving a Hollywood tour bus and posing as Ricky Ricardo. He marries a blonde waitress and becomes the father of twins. Yet happiness remains elusive for Joe as he is haunted by flashbacks of prison torture. And soon a torrid affair with Rosea Socorro Katz, the crazed daughter of Hollywood’s Brazilian star Carmen Socorro, proves to be even more dangerous than the life he has fled. Rosea spent her childhood watching her mother unravel as the celebrity system toyed with and eventually destroyed her career. Carmen had always claimed to be descended from Amazons, the woman warriors of legend, but she was tamed by Hollywood. Not Rosea. She has just finished serving jail time for setting fire to the home of her ex-husband—in an attempt to destroy his collection of Brazilian artifacts—and sets out to salvage her life. Along the way, she manages to tear down the lives of everyone she meets. The Brazil of the imagination is shattered in this novel of two tortured souls wrestling with the myths of movies, politics, and the American Dream. Laced with fantastic tales of bird-boys and cannibal rituals, it spins a compelling story of desperation as it reminds us that American freedom and the myth of unbridled opportunity can also consume and destroy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Independent Publisher Book Awards Silver Medal for Best Regional Nonfiction in the Southwest The story of how Florida became entwined with Americans’ 20th-century hopes, dreams, and expectations is also a tale of mass delusion, real estate collapses, and catastrophic hurricanes. The Fantasy of Florida hones in on the experiences of William Jennings Bryan and Edwin Menninger, the two men who shaped the image of Florida that we know today and who sold that image as America’s paradise. The cast of characters also includes the Marx Brothers, Thomas Edison, Al Capone, and Mark Twain. A tale of a colorful and tragicomic era during which the allure and illusion of the American Dream was on full display—a Jazz Age period when Americans started chasing what F. Scott Fitzgerald called “the orgiastic future”—the book reveals how the recent economic collapse in Florida is eerily similar to events that happened there between 1925 and 1928. What sets the mid-1920s’ Florida land boom apart from more recent booms-and-busts, however, is that this was the first modern boom, the first time that emerging new technologies, mass communications and modern advertising techniques were used to sell the nation on the notion that prosperity and happiness are simply there for the taking. Florida’s image as a place where the rules of everyday life don’t apply and winners go to play was formed during this dawn of the age of consumerism when Americans wanted to have fun and make lots of money, and millions of them thought Florida was the perfect place to do that.

Book excerpt: Love, true love, is the ruler of all things. Once you have acquired a taste for it... nothing else will ever satisfy your palate or taste the same. Niya has already proven that she would kill for Jamilla, which should make their bond unbreakable. But when the dopamine fades and she is faced with her own demons, rescuing Jamilla from her problems just won't be enough to fill the void she has always felt within. What will happen when family issues, fame and reality sets in? How will Niya deal with a Hip-Hop career as she tries to repair her broken family? Signing to Green Note Records just may bring fulfillment and love when the sexy R&B diva, Brazil Noelle, swoops in and aims for her heart. Jamilla is filled with so many mixed emotions that at times, she feels as if she will lose her mind. Her love for Niya is real, and knowing that, gives her just as much comfort as the writing career she chases. Yet, Jamilla is still battling with the fact that Niya is a girl. Will her fling with a male "straighten" her out for good? Or will it help her to realize that love has no boundaries? Either way, a decision must be made. Join the tormented twosome on an undeniable thrill ride through dreamer's paradise, as they travel down the rocky road of self-discovery. Niya and Jamilla will combat their fears, distractions, love, denial, family, and sometimes each other, in the emotionally charged and action packed sequel to Niya 1: Rainbow Dreams. With so many warriors fighting the battle of love... Only one will win the war of hearts.

Download or read book Artificial Paradise written by Kevin Courrier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an epigram in this book from the Phil Ochs song, "Crucifixion", about the Kennedy assassination, that states: I fear to contemplate that beneath the greatest love, lies a hurricane of hate. On February 11th 1963, the Beatles recorded "There's a Place", a dazzling, unheralded tune which was included on their electrifying debut album, Please Please Me. This song firmly laid the foundation on which a huge utopian dream of the sixties would be built. Within that dream, however, also lay the seeds of a darker vision that would emerge out of the very counterculture that the Beatles and their music helped create. Thus, even as their music attracted adoring fans, it also enticed the murderous ambitions of Charles Manson; and though the Beatles may have inspired others to form bands, their own failed hopes ultimately led to their breakup. The disillusionment with the sixties, and the hopes associated with the group, would many years later culminate in the assassination of John Lennon and the attempted slaying of George Harrison by deranged and obsessive fans. In this incisive examination, author Kevin Courrier (Dangerous Kitchen: the Subversive World of Zappa, Randy Newman's American Dreams) examines how the Fab Four, through their astonishing music and comically rebellious personalities, created the promise of an inclusive culture built on the principles of pleasure and fulfillment. By taking us through their richly inventive catalogue, Courrier illustrates how the Beatles' startling impact on popular culture built a bond with audiences that was so strong, people today continue to either cling nostalgically to it, or struggle - and often struggle violently - to escape its influence.

Book excerpt: This is a Mediterranean love story. At the height of the Swinging Sixties Viola and Adam meet on an old Greek liner packed with like minded young Australians looking for adventure and experience in Europe. Rejecting the conventional path to Earls Court the couple find themselves, after a series of fateful choices, heading for the island of Crete. There they fall in with an international community of expatriates, an exotic mixture of castaways, eccentrics, sybarites and artists. In spite of their meagre funds the young lovers rent a dilapidated villa overlooking the ancient Venetian harbour of Chania. But Crete is a difficult location to fit into, particularly for an attractive young woman like Viola. In 1967 the Greek government is overthrown by a military coup and its colonels attempt to repress the Greeks’ natural joie de vivre in the name of “Christian-Hellenic” values. Chania becomes a powder keg of vice and passion. It contains a naval base on its outskirts that is the barracks for eight thousand Greek sailors doing national service. After Viola is abducted and almost raped by one of the ratings she and Adam are encouraged by an American painter called Sylvia Naughton to move to a village where she has lived for eleven years on the island of Lesbos. Her work is dedicated to capturing the disappearing traditional currents of village life in her paintings. The move proves fortuitous. In contrast to the macho south this island is sophisticated, filled with evidence of a glorious past and haunted by the presence of the sixth century BC poet Sappho. Could this be the exceptional life Viola is searching for? The expatriate clan on Lesbos is dominated by various powerful personalities like Isaac Romberg, a Canadian and self-declared poet laureate. His extrovert exuberance and domination of his wife Vita is challenged by an English classicist called Charity Lane who has experienced war first hand and whose scepticism as a result towards human ideals brings the two men into witty, wordy conflict with no hold bared. The island itself and its natural magnificence cast a seductive spell over these comic/ tragic adventurers, distorting their pasts and exposing the vulnerability of their secret desires.
