Legendary jazz ambassador Dr. Billy Taylor's autobiography spans more than six decades, from the heyday of jazz on 52nd Street in 1940s New York City to CBS Sunday Morning. Taylor fought not only for the recognition of jazz music as "America's classical music" but also for the recognition of black musicians as key contributors to the American music repertoire. Peppered with anecdotes recalling encounters with other jazz legends such as Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, and many others, The Jazz Life of Dr. Billy Taylor is not only the life story of a jazz musician and spokesman but also a commentary on racism and jazz as a social force.

Skip O''Rourke is dragged into one last con . . . but he doesn''t know the con''s on him in this funny, page-turning debut YA for fans of Winger and Ocean’s Eleven, now nominated for the Edgar Award and the International Thriller Writers Award.Cameron Smith attends an elite boarding school and has just been accepted to Princeton University alongside his beautiful girlfriend, Claire. Life for Cameron would be perfect, except that Cameron Smith is actually Skip O''Rourke, and Skip O''Rourke ran away from his grifter family four years ago...along with $100,000 of their “earnings” (because starting a new life is not cheap). But when his uncle Wonderful tracks him down, Skip''s given an ultimatum: come back to the family for one last con, or say good-bye to life as Cameron. "One last con" is easier said than done when Skip''s family is just as merciless (and just as manipulative) as they''ve always been, and everyone around him is lying. Skip may have given up on crime, but there''s one lesson he hasn''t forgotten: always know your mark. And if you don''t know who your mark is . . . it''s probably you. Witty and irresistibly readable, this standout debut will always keep you guessing.

Nine months after Bobby Conlons wife, Natalie, dumped him for a hot young director, his life is out of kilter.

Once in Texas, Bobby realizes he has signed on to the most dysfunctional movie ever. The director cant direct, the pig catches pneumonia, and just when things cant get any worse, Natalie and her boyfriend are hired to take over the movie.
