Jenny Boyd, 1960's fashion model, ex-wife of Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood and former sister-in-law of George Harrison and Eric Clapton, spent much of her life in the proximity of musical and cultural influencers. Her access allowed her to interview some of the world's most recognizable musicians regarding their thoughts about the creative process. Her new book Icons of Rock-In Their Own Words is a compendium that provides an intimate insight into how some the world's greatest musicians and producers created some of their greatest work. It will be published in the U.S. by Mango Publishing on February 13, 2024.

Boyd originally conducted and compiled most of these revealing interviews as part of her Ph.D dissertation some 30 years ago. She talked with dozens of artists about how they made music and whether natural talent or external influences were the key factors in their work. Her research culminated in the acclaimed book Musicians in Tune that came out in the U.S. and Japan in 1992.

In a major rewriting of the book, Icons of Rock is a testament in "write what you know," delving into the drive to create, the importance of nurturing creativity, the role of unconscious influences and the effects of chemicals, alcohol and drugs on the creative process. Among the music legends included are Eric Clapton, Julian Lennon, Don Henley, Keith Richard, Ringo Starr, Steve Winwood, Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, John Lee Hooker and many others. It also shines a light on the creative process of several artists who are no longer with us, among them George Harrison, David Crosby, Ravi Shankar, Warren Zevon and Christine McVie to whom she dedicates the new book.

"I had spent the last twenty-something years surrounded by talented musicians and had watched them playing their instruments and creating songs," Boyd explains in the book's introduction. "I was immersed in their world and had witnessed their creative process first hand. Whether it was watching Paul, George and John sitting on the roof of our bungalow in India creating songs that were later to appear on The White Album, or Fleetwood Mac searching for lyrics in the communal house we shared in Hampshire, or sitting in the studio a few years later in Sausalito making their mega-hit album Rumours, it always left me wondering what it must feel like to be so creative."

Rather than use portions of the 65 interviews in topical chapters as she had done previously, Boyd returned to the original transcripts of the interviews she conducted and has included them in their entirety under each of the artists' own name. She has also added interviews with four newer musicians-Eg White, Jacob Collier, Atticus Ross and Sarah Warwick-to illustrate the difference in the music world today compared to the late 1980's when her original interviews were conducted.

I started from scratch. Planting bulbs. Colocasia Esculenta or Elephant Ears. I'm willing to watch them in whatever is their presence in the present. To receive from their paths of moving forward. Learning the language of this forest. A partner in the process of receiving. Only to ask, "What am I giving back?"

One underworld drug lord is bad enough, but twin psychopaths running a legitimate pharmaceutical business create double the trouble—and double the deadly consequences—for homicide detective Marko Zorn in Otho Eskin’s new, action-packed thriller, the third installment in the Marko Zorn series.

A dangerous drug is spreading through Washington, D.C.—can Marko Zorn take down the company behind it? Washington, D.C. homicide detective Marko Zorn takes on a far-reaching, complicated investigation when a narcotic more deadly than fentanyl spreads across the city, causing countless fatalities. His search for the people behind the off-label drug leads him to a Big Pharma company run by mysterious, psychopathic twin brothers. Anyone who crosses them is dead.

Marko discovers that the company will soon release another dangerous prescription opioid analgesic, but when the company learns that this information has been leaked, more bodies pile up. Let down by his higher-ups, Marko sets off to solve the deadly ring of crime that now surrounds him, all while evading repeated attempts to kill him.

Marko will need all his wits, skills, and contacts both inside and outside of the law to shut down the twin brothers’ criminal drug empire. Can a painting from a major art theft decades earlier provide the key to how Marko can cripple the whole operation? Only if Marko isn’t killed first.

Influenced by the passion and peril of love, dark comedy, and riveting tension, WHEN SHE LEFT firmly establishes crime fiction writer and essayist E.A. Aymar as "a benchmark of noir fiction." (as he was described by legendary thriller writer James Grady).

In WHEN SHE LEFT, 23-year-old Melissa Cruz can’t help falling in love with dreamy-eyed photographer Jake Smith, even if it means betraying her boyfriend Chris Winters, a rising star in his family’s criminal organization.

After barely escaping when Chris discovers the two of them together, Jake and Melissa find themselves on the run, with nowhere to turn and danger around every corner.

To catch Jake and Melissa, Chris Winters calls upon a group of assassins who work for his family, among them a man named Lucky Wilson. Lucky has built a life for himself as a real estate agent by day and, unbeknownst to his wife and daughter, a hitman for the Winters at night.

But Lucky hasn’t been himself ever since discovering his wife’s affair, given to crying fits and panic attacks. He takes the job on the promise that he can leave their criminal network and attempt to rebuild the family life he desperately craves.
