Richard Foos co-founded Rhino Records and Shout! Factory (now Shout! Studios), and he’s known as the godfather of reissue culture. The record industry was always chasing the next hit. Foos found his value in old music, film and TV catalogs that the labels had written off. Rhino grew from $91,000 in first-year sales to more than $100 million a year before Time Warner bought it.

Richard talks about starting with a $140-a-month record store near UCLA, the novelty single that turned the store into a label by accident, and how Rhino invented reissues and remastering. He also covers how Shout! Factory brought Freaks and Geeks and Mystery Science Theater 3000 back, and what he’s working on now.

Quotes

In an age when kings ruled Egypt and women stood in the shadows of power, one woman rose above tradition to claim the throne of the greatest kingdom on earth. Hatshepsut defied convention, political rivals, and the expectations of her time to become Pharaoh of Egypt. William S. Roberts Set against the splendor and danger of the ancient world, this novel follows her extraordinary journey through ambition, sacrifice, love, and betrayal. As alliances shift and enemies gather, Hatshepsut must prove herself worthy not only of the crown, but of history itself. This is the story of the woman who became a falcon over Egypt.

These are bedtime stories for adults who still remember the shadows.

Bedtime Stories That Will Terrify Children may sound like a provocation—but it isn’t, not really. These stories aren’t about horror for horror’s sake. They’re about the way children actually see the world—alive with mystery, shadow, and the possibility that magic and menace coexist just beyond the edges of the nightlight.

Children already sense that darkness holds both danger and wonder. What they want from stories isn’t protection from fear, but fairness in it—a sense that even in the strangest tale, things make sense somehow. That’s what these stories offer: not terror, but truth told through the eyes of imagination unafraid to look into the dark.

“I wrote this book for my children. Not because I had the answers—but because the stories might ask the right questions.”~Randolph B. Schiffer

AUTHOR’s NOTES

In the spring of 1990, my wife and I were told that our three-year-old son, Brenton, had acute lymphocytic leukemia. At that time, survival was uncertain, and treatment was long, painful, and unforgiving. We could not control the disease — but we believed we might help him endure it.

Small children do not fear death; they fear abandonment. So we restructured our lives to ensure that Brenton was never alone. And when doctors later warned us he might be relapsing, I began telling him stories at bedtime — stories of danger and courage, fear and resilience. In them, I reversed the roles I wished I could have reversed in real life: the father became the one in peril; the child, the witness to strength.

These eight stories are not gentle tales. They are stories of suspense and moral reckoning, of animals and ancient spirits, of cowardice and bravery. They were told by candlelight during the hardest year of our lives, in the hope that story might fortify where medicine could not.

The doctors were wrong. Brenton survived. He is now grown, with a child of his own.

I have written these stories down in the hope that somewhere, another child — and another family — might find in them what we did: not comfort, but courage.

What happens when the unexpected takes control and every decision matters?

In Flight of a Dead Man, veteran pilot Thomas A. McHale opens his flight logbooks to share extraordinary true stories from a lifetime in aviation. From the challenges of early flight training and Army aviation to the high-stakes world of commercial flying, McHale revisits moments of danger, uncertainty, courage, and unexpected humanity that shaped his journey through the skies.

A near miss, an engine failure during takeoff, severe icing over the North Atlantic, and encounters with people whose lives intersect in unforgettable ways reveal just how quickly order can give way to chaos. Each story offers a candid look at the split-second decisions, discipline, and responsibility demanded of those who take to the air—and the human consequences that can extend far beyond the cockpit.

Yet these pages are about more than flying. They explore the fragile balance between confidence and humility, the weight of responsibility, the cost of sacrifice, and the moments of compassion and connection that emerge when circumstances are pushed to the limit.

Honest, engaging, and rich with hard-earned perspective, Flight of a Dead Man takes readers behind the cockpit door and into the experiences that cannot be captured by flight instruments alone.

For aviation enthusiasts and readers drawn to compelling true stories, this is a journey through the unpredictable nature of flight—and the extraordinary human stories found along the way.

So when young women from Anchorage begin disappearing after heading to Seattle for “internships,” Twinkle is convinced that something dangerous is happening. But both the Anchorage and Seattle authorities dismiss her out of hand.

With nowhere else to turn, Twinkle calls on an old friend: private investigator J. P. Beaumont. While Twinkle and J.
