The soul legends known for their iconic hits, "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)," "You Are Everything," "You Make Me Feel Brand New," and more, earning them 5 Gold singles and 3 Gold albums, will bring audiences their first new single from the 21-track album "Yes, I Will," featuring Shania Twain, on February 14. "FALLING IN LOVE WITH MY GIRL," produced by Tom Cridland and Executive Produced by Deborah Cridland, will feature a who's who of legendary and noted artists who collaborated on the album alongside Twain: Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones, Gene Simmons of KISS, The Elton John Band (including Nigel Olsson and Davey Johnstone), Bill Champlin of Chicago, Billy F. Gibbons of ZZ Top, Steve Lukather of Toto, Tower of Power, Ray Parker, Jr., Jay Graydon, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, The Real Thing, Nathan East and Carly Paoli. For "Yes, I Will," Twain had been invited to sing on one of the tracks already written, but she had in mind the perfect song for the album that she had co-written with Nathan East, (to which Tom Cridland contributed), that was a soulful fit for The Stylistics. Ray Parker Jr., Steve Lukather and East performed on the track that was the last song recorded for the collection, and is the first new track in 17 years to be released by the legendary group. Says Twain, "I'm so happy that this song I wrote 'Yes, I Will' has found a home on The Stylistics album. That is just so exciting. It's a special song that came together on one special day at my home where I was hanging out with some friends and musicians. So I think it turned out great and I'm just really excited to share it with the whole world." Airrion Love from The Stylistics adds, "I fell in love with Shania Twain the first time I heard 'You're Still the One' - a great song that I still love. When we heard there might be a chance to do something with her we said, "Hell yeah!"" The Stylistics' original members Airrion Love and Herb Murrell, together with Jason Sharp who joined the group in 2011, recorded their vocals at Spice House Sound in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and at Wright Way Studios in Baltimore, Maryland. Tom Cridland arranged and recorded the background vocals in the Scottish Highlands and at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The Elton John Band including Nigel Olsson and Davey Johnstone laid down the instrumental tracks at the Record Plant in Hollywood, California. "FALLING IN LOVE WITH MY GIRL" was the last album ever made at the legendary recording studio. Most of the songs were written by Tom Cridland together with Anthony King of Blackpool and Anthony's wife, Fiona Shaw. Two tracks were written by Airrion Love, "Sad Tomorrows" and "I Get A Feeling." 

Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

"A sharp-edged work of legal journalism that will fascinate politics junkies." -Kirkus Reviews THE PARDON: The Politics of Presidential Mercy, by acclaimed journalist, legal scholar, and bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin, will be published on February 11th, 2025. The book arrives just as the topic of presidential pardons is front-of-mind for all of us. In the waning days of his administration, President Joe Biden pardoned his own son, Hunter, and issued preemptive pardons for other family members and associates. At the very start of his second administration, Donald Trump pardoned virtually all January 6th rioters, including some charged with violent crimes, mostly against police officers, committed during the insurrection.We have entered a new age in which the presidential pardon power is deployed out of self-interest, to provide political cover and legal protection for intimates and to reward loyalty. In THE PARDON Toobin focuses on what has historically been considered the most controversial presidential pardon to date-Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon-and its profound implications for our current political landscape. Widely criticized at the time, Ford's decision has since been reevaluated as a healing gesture for a divided country even by former critics. Toobin argues that Ford's pardon was a disaster-an unwise gift to an undeserving recipient, and one that created an unsettling precedent that is already being tested by the latest occupant of the Oval Office. Toobin also pulls back for an overview of the history and legacy of the presidential pardon power, up to and including a comprehensive chapter on Trump's first-term pardons, which serves as useful preamble to the actions he's already taken in his second.As Toobin points out, the pardon is the Constitutional power most directly modeled on the royal prerogatives of the King of England. The pardons bestowed by Trump and Biden, or any president, cannot be overruled or even challenged in the courts. THE PARDON is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, the complex dynamics of power within the highest office in the nation, and the implications of presidential mercy.

CHANGE OF HEART by Cristina LePort, MD, weaves an intricate tale that thrusts a former police detective, Kirk Miner, and an FBI newcomer, Charlotte Bloom, into a complex murder investigation masquerading as a suicide. The narrative unfolds in present-day New York City, merging elements of crime, mystery, and romance against the backdrop of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The story kicks off with the mysterious death of a young medical student, Amy Winter, whose demise is initially deemed a suicide until a deeper conspiracy unravels, involving a sinister organ donation chain.

Kirk, struggling with his passion for criminal investigation and its toll on his family life, finds himself pulled deeper into the case, questioning his priorities and what he’s willing to die for. Charlotte, on the other hand, grapples with her own secret—a life-threatening heart condition—as she navigates the perilous waters of cybercrime and mob conspiracy.

As Kirk and Charlotte delve into the murky depths of this case, they encounter a cast of compelling characters, from the empathetic heart surgeon Dr. Zayne Wilder to the formidable Sicilian mobster Santo Montepulciano. Their journey through a tangled web of secrets, family drama, and forbidden love shatters crime drama clichés, offering a riveting exploration of love’s power and the sacrifices made in its name.

Dr. Cristina LePort's personal journey from a cardiologist to a novelist enriches her storytelling, making her books resonate deeply with readers fascinated by the ethical questions within the medical field. Her novels are not only page-turners but also provoke thoughtful consideration of the moral complexities faced by medical professionals.

From the author of the bestselling Kobe Bryant biography The Rise comes the legend of the most powerful shot in basketball: the slam dunk. The evolution of basketball, and much of the social and cultural change in America, can be traced through one powerful act on the court: the slam dunk. The dunk's history is the story of a sport and a country changed by the most dominant act in basketball, and it makes Magic in the Air a rollicking and insightful piece of narrative history and a surefire classic of sports literature. When basketball was the province of white men, the dunk acted as a revolutionary agent, a tool for players like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell to transform the sport into a Black man's game. The dunk has since been an expression of Black culture amid the righteous upheaval of the civil-rights movement, of the threat that Black people were considered to be to the establishment. It was banned from college basketball for nearly a decade-an attempt to squash the individual expression and athleticism that characterized the sport in America's cities and on its playgrounds. The dunk nevertheless bubbled up to basketball's highest levels. From Julius Erving to Michael Jordan to the high flyers of the 21st century, the dunk has been a key mechanism for growing the NBA into a global goliath. Drawing on deep reporting and dozens of interviews with players, coaches, and other hoops experts, Magic in the Air brings to life the tale of the dunk while balancing sharp socio-racial history and commentary with a romp through American sports and culture. There's never been a basketball book quite like it. 

I’m always askingquestions.  The fun begins when you startresearching for answers. Such as…Can people of religion andspirituality lean too much on their creator and or God?  Plus… writing instruments, pens… do writersand authors retire the tools that put words on the page?  I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing butwatch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  Achronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As areceiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side anddeal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal!  Bydoing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…

A spine-tingling standalone novel by bestselling author TJ Klune—a supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government.There's nothing more human than a broken heart.
In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC.
With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not.
Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.
Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them want nothing more than to control her.
