Book excerpt: The film noir male is an infinitely watchable being, exhibiting a wide range of emotions, behaviors, and motivations. Some of the characters from the film noir era are extremely violent, such as Neville Brand’s Chester in D.O.A. (1950), whose sole pleasure in life seems to come from inflicting pain on others. Other noirs feature flawed authority figures, such as Kirk Douglas’s Jim McLeod in Detective Story (1951), controlled by a rigid moral code that costs him his marriage and ultimately his life. Others present ruthless crime bosses, hapless males whose lives are turned upside down because of their ceaseless longing for a woman, and even courageous men on the right side of the law. The private and public lives of more than ninety actors who starred in the films noirs of the 1940s and 1950s are presented here. Some of the actors, such as Humphrey Bogart, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Edward G. Robinson, Robert Mitchum, Raymond Burr, Fred MacMurray, Jack Palance and Mickey Rooney, enjoyed great renown, while others, like Gene Lockhart, Moroni Olsen and Harold Vermilyea, were less familiar, particularly to modern audiences. An appendix focuses on the actors who were least known but frequently seen in minor roles.

From the Outer Banks Detective Series that has garnered outstanding praise from reviewers, Joe C; Ellis has again produced a compelling story that captivates the reader from the first page to the last. This third and final book in the series brings the series to a dramatic and fulfilling conclusion. Here are some reviews from the first two books in the series: Roanoke Island Murders and The Singer in the Sound. 5 Star Review -- Roanoke Island Murders -- Once again, Ohio Valley author Joe C. Ellis thrills his readers with another exciting murder novel set in the Outer Banks. "Roanoke Island Murders" takes place in the historical city of Manteo, North Carolina, which hosts "The Lost Colony" dramas, based on first English settlement which is integrated into the book's plot. The novel's pace quickly accelerates as two murders take place on the same evening. Detective Weston Wolf is hired by a mysterious woman to help her find a missing friend but instead involves him not only in solving the murders but also in assisting her with the sale of a priceless heirloom which has been in her family for centuries. Breathing with the essence of film noir, this contemporary crime novel will hold the reader in its deadly grip till the very end. A real page turner with surprises around every corner! A must read. 5-Star Review -- The Singer in the Sound -- In this second installment of the Weston Wolf Detective Series set in the sublime Outer Banks, accomplished author Joe C. Ellis takes the reader to the serene coastal town of Corolla, North Carolina to solve a hideous crime of murder and mayhem hidden in the realms of the rich and famous. Our protagonist Detective Weston Wolf and his daring partner Angie Stallone hit the ground running in this fast paced thriller when they are hired to solve the mystery of a missing girl with the voice of an angel, the daughter of an elderly fisherman. While working on solving the crime, Wolf meets the beautiful enigmatic Freyja Beck who is known to be an enchanting singer herself as well as an actress. With the help of Angie and Freyja, Wolf uncovers the dark underbelly of Hollywood when it comes up with more missing girls seeking fame and fortune but finding themselves at the mercy of a deadly killer. Along with the excitement and witty repertoire, the reader will find themselves falling in love with the idyllic descriptions of the Outer Banks. They will revel in the feel of the ocean and take trips to the historical Whalehead Club, walk the Corollian northern beaches of the wild horse sanctuary, and breathe in the brackish air of the Currituck Sound. This novel is a heady pleasure for those who enjoy reading a blend of murder mystery combined with the thrill of the Outer Banks in all its natural beauty. A real must for those who love the old detective film noir novels with a modern slant. Joe C. Ellis has done it again!

Book excerpt: Hailed by national leaders as politically diverse as former Vice President Al Gore and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Generations has been heralded by reviewers as a brilliant, if somewhat unsettling, reassessment of where America is heading. William Strauss and Neil Howe posit the history of America as a succession of generational biographies, beginning in 1584 and encompassing every-one through the children of today. Their bold theory is that each generation belongs to one of four types, and that these types repeat sequentially in a fixed pattern. The vision of Generations allows us to plot a recurring cycle in American history -- a cycle of spiritual awakenings and secular crises -- from the founding colonists through the present day and well into this millenium. Generations is at once a refreshing historical narrative and a thrilling intuitive leap that reorders not only our history books but also our expectations for the twenty-first century.
