  This book is about twenty-one days, and sixty years. A motorcycle ride down the spine of Appalachia, with a little banjo  and big myth for company, to play and sing at the graves of dead banjo heroes. About making a life about making work. This book is about outsiders. Interlopers. Class migrants. Death. Awakening. Creative Process. Growth through risk-taking. It’s a book about ghosts. Music. Writing. Not writing. What’s this book not about? “Finding myself.” I know who I am.  
  Steven Sherrill is a high school dropout, a nearly retired professor, a family man, a ne'er-do-well banjo player, a motorcyclist, an aquarist, a sonic/video muckraker, and a novelist with five books in the world, one of which (The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break) is a cult classic.

  Dragged into the Light -...

  As Seen on VICE TV's “The Devil You Know” Season 2 
  Ohio housewife Sherry Shriner grew to prominence as a social media cult leader, flourishing in the era of conspiracy theories and the 9/11 Truther movement. 
  She preached the virtues of mysterious orgone energy and Christian prayer as defensive shields against the forces of darkness, including Lucifer and his demons; reptilian shapeshifters masquerading as human elites; the New World Order; cell phone towers; even hostile UFOs that flamed out over her home, visible only as shooting stars. 
  Amazingly, she built a coterie of passionate devotees. The more outrageous the lie, the more fervent their belief. 
  In 2017, she told follower Steven Mineo that his girlfriend, Barbara Rogers, was a witch who would kill him. A month later, Steven was dead, and Barbara was in jail charged with his murder. 
  Steven’s death proved Sherry’s divinity to her followers, but in reality, he was just the latest casualty in a string of online trolling attacks that had left an earlier believer dead of suicide and still more cast into the outer darkness of cyberspace. 
  Journalist Tony Russo follows Sherry Shriner’s cult, digs into its bizarre beliefs, and reports on the shredded lives and reputations surrounding an otherwise-nondescript woman who transformed herself into a web-based evangelist. 
  The incredible story is documented in dogged reporting, surviving internet chats and transcripts, and voluminous police records.

  If you're looking for the events that inspired the lyrics to all my songs? Those stories are in this book. If you're looking for what I did when I was younger? That's in here. What changed me, made me stop hating and hurting? It's all here. This is my story and I'm sticking to it. That's the one thing I have, the truth. 
   
   
   
  Volume two of Black Heart Fades Blue, a three-part memoir by the founder and frontman for one of punk rock's most notorious acts, Poison Idea 
   
   
   
  In 1980, Jerry A. formed Poison Idea, a Portland-based punk band that gave voice to disaffected and disenfranchised youth for over thirty years. As happened to so many punk bands, Jerry A. and Poison Idea also went all in on drugs and drinking as they toured the country, spiraling out of control and blowing both the band and their lives apart. 
   
   
   
  Black Heart Fades Blue is not an apology or a nostalgic catalog of events, but a true reckoning with one's past and present. A memoir of a time and a place and a movement, as well as a deep conversation about the memories and moments we leave behind, Black Heart Fades Blue is a deep exploration of an unconventional life.

  The Seed - A Survivor’s...

  “You don’t just survive. You transform.” 
  The Seed is the first book in The Bloom Series — a bold, genre-defying collaboration between two women reclaiming their stories and offering a lifeline to others. 
  Co-authored by Adeline Ward, an Australian-American actress, writer, and storyteller rooted in healing and truth and Mad Paraluman, a Filipina-American U.S. Navy veteran, immigrant, and survivor of domestic violence and systemic harm. This book is both a mirror and a schematic — designed for anyone navigating trauma, identity, and self-reclamation. 
  Through poetic prose, raw vulnerability, and quiet rebellion, The Seed blends memoir, cultural reflection, and practical tools. From the silence of abuse to the roar of aircraft hangars, Adeline and Mad’s stories intersect at the edges of survival and bloom into truth, sisterhood, and radical softness. 
  This is not just a story — it is a becoming. 
  Whether you are recovering from rupture or learning to hold space for another, The Seed offers tools and reflection rooted in community care, shared language, and co-healing. 
  You are not broken. You are blooming. And you don’t have to do it alone — if you dare to build the community you need.
