WWE Superstar, LA Knight brought a little bit of star power to the world of NXT with a mixture of outspoken charisma and unrelenting toughness. Eventually, Knight would arrive on SmackDown where he reinvented himself as Max Dupri, the visionary behind Maximum Male Models. Before long, however, he grew tired with his fashionable clients, ma.cé and mån.sôör, and their inability to score the big win when it counted. As a result, he aggressively shed his faction and that persona and once again declared that his name was LA Knight!

​Now back on his own, Knight looks to take the fight to the blue brand.

THE WAR CAME TO US: Life and Death in Ukraine (Bloomsbury Continuum; July 18, 2023) by Christopher Miller is a gripping insider's account of today's Ukraine, from an American journalist who has covered its struggles and politics-- and embraced its spirit and people - for 13 years. Shock, horror, and outrage. That's how most Americans responded to the breaking news on February 24, 2022, that President Vladimir Putin had launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Sixteen minutes before the first cruise missiles struck the Kramatorsk airbase, just 2,000 feet away from the kitschy hotel where journalists often stayed, Christopher Miller received a text message from Alexander Vindman, retired US Army lieutenant colonel and former director of European Affairs for the National Security Council, "You OK?" A few weeks prior, US intelligence sources had gotten wind of the looming attack from Russia and, in an unusual move, alerted President Volodymyr Zelensky. He, like most Ukrainians, was skeptical. After all, Russia had been battling Ukraine for the past eight years. Yet, Miller had a sinking feeling that a bigger, bloodier conflict was about to erupt. In THE WAR CAME TO US, Miller offers an intimate look at Russia's war on Ukraine through the experiences of everyday Ukrainians-including his colleagues, neighbors, and friends. His Ukrainian immersion story begins in March of 2010, when, at the age of 25, he joins the Peace Corps and gets assigned to work as a teacher in Artemivsk, a struggling industrial city. At first, his neighbors think he's a spy. Gradually, they bring him gifts of pickled vegetables and homemade vareneky, stuffed boiled dumplings. He picks up a bit of surzhyk, the mashup of Russian and Ukrainian languages the locals speak. He teaches students snippets of conversational English and the truth about HIV/AIDS. And he starts hanging out with a group of Ukrainian investigative reporters.

"A hilarious and brutally honest memoir about life as a writer in Hollywood, which could only be told by someone who escaped." - Judd Apatow, producer of Girls and Bridesmaids and director of The 40-Year-Old Virgin "Why would you quit such a cool career?" That's what people kept asking Patty Lin after she retired from television writing at the ripe age of thirty-eight. From her thrilling start on the now cult classic Freaks and Geeks, she went on to work on three wildly popular shows: Friends, Desperate Housewives, and Breaking Bad. Explaining why she chose to walk away was too much for a cocktail party conversation. So, she started to write about it. In END CREDITS: How I Broke Up with Hollywood (Zibby Books; August 29, 2023; $27.99 Hardcover), Patty Lin, a former TV writer and producer, chronicles her agonizing ten-year relationship with a dysfunctional industry-one filled with egotistical bosses, office politics, and casual incidents of sexism, racism, and cruelty. As a Brady Bunch-obsessed latchkey kid in the 1970s, Lin had no idea that an Asian American girl from Downers Grove, Illinois, could grow up to create stories for characters like Jan and Marcia. In this deeply personal saga, she offers a rare up-close and candid look at a business that lures smart, creative, driven writers to Hollywood and then systematically crushes them. END CREDITS follows Lin as she breaks into TV as a college intern at The Late Show with David Letterman, and, after four years of slogging away as the production manager's assistant, moves to LA to become a screenwriter. With honesty and humor, Lin recounts outrageous incidents and painful moments in a career defined by grueling hours and a glaring lack of guidance, communication, and praise. Here are a few highlights: . The exhilaration of landing her first job as a staff writer on Martial Law, a bad cop show with a cheesy kung fu twist-before learning that half the staff had been fired after two months, and the show was desperate for writers. In retrospect, Lin surmises that she was snapped up, despite being "green," for being Asian.

The definitive, fascinating story of the scariest film ever made and its enduring impact in Hollywood and beyond-from the director's biographer comes a must-read for horror fans and cinema buffs, just in time for the movie's 50th anniversary and the release of the first movie in a new Exorcist trilogy. Includes a foreword by John Russo, author and cowriter of the seminal horror film Night of the Living Dead. On December 26, 1973, The Exorcist was released. Within days it had become legend. Moviegoers braved hours-long lines in winter weather to see it. Some audience members famously fainted or vomited. Half a century later, the movie that both inspired and transcends the modern horror genre has lost none of its power to terrify and unsettle. The Exorcist Legacy reveals the complete story of this cultural phenomenon, from the real-life exorcism in 1949 Maryland that inspired William Peter Blatty's bestselling novel on which the movie is based, to its many sequels, prequels, TV series, and homages. Nat Segaloff, biographer of the film's director, William Friedkin, draws on original interviews with cast, crew, and participants as well as revelations from personal papers to present an intriguing and surprising new view of the making of the movie, and its aftermath. Segaloff also examines as never before the keys to the movie's enduring appeal. Friedkin and Blatty's goal was far more ambitious than making a scary movie; they aimed to make people "think about the concept of good and evil." The Exorcist succeeds, and then some, not just by creating on-screen scares, but by challenging viewers' deepest personal beliefs-and fears.

The Allman Brothers Band's Brothers and Sisters was not only the band's bestselling album, at over seven million copies sold, but it was also a powerfully influential release, both musically and culturally, one whose influence continues to be profoundly felt. Celebrating the album's fiftieth anniversary, Brothers and Sisters the book delves into the making of the album, while also presenting a broader cultural history of the era, based on first-person interviews, historical documents, and in-depth research. Brothers and Sisters traces the making of the template-shaping record alongside the stories of how the Allman Brothers came to the rescue of a flailing Jimmy Carter presidential campaign and helped get the former governor of Georgia elected president; how Gregg Allman's marriage to Cher was an early harbinger of an emerging celebrity media culture; and how the band's success led to internal fissures. The book also examines the Allman Brothers' relationship with the Grateful Dead-including the most in-depth reporting ever on the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen, the largest rock festival ever-and describes how they inspired bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, helping create the southern rock genre. With exclusive access to hundreds of hours of never-before-heard interviews with every major player, including Dickey Betts and Gregg Allman, conducted by Allman Brothers Band archivist, photographer, and "Tour Mystic" Kirk West, Brothers and Sisters is an honest assessment of the band's career, history, and highs and lows.
