" Well, the music is your special friend

Dance on fire as it intends

Music is your only friend . . ."

                                    --Jim Morrison, When the Music's Over

Hello, I'm Gene Simmons, a member of the legendary band KISS, reality TV show star, and Rock 'n Roll icon, and I want to tell you that it's not about the music.  It's about the sweet, sweet moolah and the hot, hot chicks.  And if you want to be one of those hot, hot chicks, I recommend that you pick up Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott's Tone It Up: 28 Days to Fit, Fierce and Fabulous (9781623365691) 24.99 and follow their instructions to the letter.  In fact, their book cover has inspired me to write a new song (Sung to the music of Lick It Up by KISS):

"Tone it up, tone it up, oh, it's only right now

Tone it up, tone it up, oh, ooh yeah

Tone it up, tone it up, oh, come on, come on

Tone it up, tone it up, oh, ooh . . ."

B. Traven Jr. here.  I am the host of the new History Channel show, A Question of Conspiracy.  In the spring, conspiracies begin to hatch like baby blue robin's eggs.  And boy, do we have some doozies on this episode.  Ha, ha!  We'll talk about the infamous 'Jade Helm 15' in Texas.  We'll explore an ancillary theory that the US military has built tunnels beneath a recently closed Walmart.  Allegedly, the tunnels are connected to Denver Int'l Airport so Chinese troops can be secretly flown in and then housed at this Walmart location before invading the rest of the state.  Finally, we'll be joined by Frederick Stonehouse, the author of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald: 40th Anniversary Edition (9781892384737) 17.95.  Can you believe it's been 40 years since the Fitz was sunk by a Russian nuclear sub?  Me neither.  Ha, ha!  We'll be right back after these messages . . .

Hello, I'm Gene Simmons, bass player for the greatest band in Rock history, famous movie actor, and world reknowned lady's man and I want to tell you that I almost joined Scientology.  Fortunately, I read Lawrence Wright's expose Going Clear (9780307745309) 15.95, which provided the basis for the recently aired HBO documentary on Scientology, and it saved me from a huge mistake.  It inspired me to write a new song (Sung to the music of Lick It Up by KISS):

Clear it up, clear it up, oh, it's only right now

Clear it up, clear it up, oh, ooh yeah . . ."

Odds & Sods

There have been so many Sleeping Bear Press authors dropping by lately that I'm beginning to believe that their press has relocated to our warehouse.  On Monday, Nick, er, Gijsbert Van Frankenhuyzen stopped in and signed copies of both S is for Sleeping Bear Dunes (9781585369171) 16.99 and The Legend of Sleeping Bear (9781886947351) 17.95.  Today we had Denise Brennan-Nelson join us and sign copies of her new title, Tallulah: Mermaid of the Great Lakes (9781585369096) 16.99.  She was wonderful.  As per usual, signed copies are on a first come, first served basis . . .
