{Book Tour} Revamp - book excerpt
RevampFOR THREE DAYS, IT WAS DARK.
News reporters scrambled.
This was the biggest story to come along in weeks.
They called it a blackout.
The last one was in New York City in 2003, but this one was different, special, because the grids in six major cities across the country had been fried, kaput, see-you-next-Sunday. Everyone with some jurisdiction blamed each other, and when there was no one left to blame, terrorism rode in on its gallant steed.

{Book Tour} Roll Call - book excerpt
Roll Call
by Glenn Langhor
About the book:
"Whacks you aside the head with the force of a baseball bat.
Langohr's incredible description of his fight for survival in prison has 'screenplay' written all over it." John South, American MediaRoll Call is a story with a cast of characters that include Mexican drug cartels, southern California street gangs and Hell's Angels all fighting for their piece of the drug culture. In the middle of it all, B.J. is hell bent for destruction until he realizes his destiny in the nick of time.
Add a good detective squeezed out of the loop by an overzealous narcotic detective; a robust prison union trying to call the shots; a handful of drug criminals trying to find their conscience and you have the perfect recipe for a revolutionary uprising, bound by blood, all leaving the reader wondering, who are the real criminals

{Book Tour} Hollywood Stories - book excerpt
By Stephen Schochet
About the book:
At high noon on a cold November day in 1974,
sixty-seven-year-old John Wayne faced off with the staff of the Harvard Lampoon
on the famous campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The students had issued their
challenge by calling the beloved American icon a fraud. Wayne, who had his new
movie McQ to promote, responded by saying he would be happy to show his film in
the pseudo-intellectual swamps of Harvard Square. After the screening, without
writers, the former USC footballer delivered a classic performance. When one
smart young man asked where he got his phony toupee, Wayne insisted the hair
was real. It wasn't his, but it was real. The appreciative underclassmen loved
him and after the Q and A session, they all sat down to dinner. Later Wayne,
who was suffering greatly from both gout and the after effects of lung cancer
(sadly the Duke only had five years to live), said that day at Harvard was the
best time he ever had.
