  “Crank up the color,” “Landscape your living room,” and “Adult summer camp vibes” are just a handful of the mantras that drive California interior designer Raili Clasen’s eclectic surf style. Raili grew up taking two long bus rides to the beach in Orange County, CA, so that she could drink up the cool surfer fashion, laid-back atmosphere, and retro surfboard decor and bring it all right home to her bedroom. Drawing from those early days of design experimentation and a career that took her from Raisins Swimwear to Quiksilver, Roxy, and Paul Frank—Raili is known for bottling up the spirit of surf culture and spraying it joyfully all over the homes she designs. Surf Style at Home takes readers into Raili’s colorful, surf-inspired, checkerboard-printed mind through homes she’s designed — from quirky old beach cottages and an Alabama lake house to sprawling new-construction homes in Newport Beach, Montana’s Yellowstone Club, and beyond.

  A World Away - Will We Ever Own...

  This narrative invites adult readers to reimagine themselves as an 11-year-old child in 19th-century County Somerset, England. You have a younger brother… both sons of a once-proud apple cider artisan who left for London one morning, never to return. His last words to you: "While away, take care of your brother and help Mother, son."
  
  Already in ill health, your mother dies within the year. Now orphans, your only means of survival is stealing food and clothing from villagers. After being caught twice and released with warnings, a new English law against child felons forces your constabulary to send you to the Old Bailey for sentencing. (Children had recently been hanged there for lesser crimes.) You escape execution but are sentenced to transportation… from England to Port Arthur Penal Settlement in Van Diemen's Land… first imprisoned on a derelict hulk in the Thames, surrounded by adult male convicts: unhygienic, cruel, and predatory.
  
  You survive… both the hulk and the voyage to the Great South Land… but nothing prepares you for Point Puer. Many friends, already frail and undernourished, are forced into adult labour gangs with matching expectations. Homesickness, illness, and constant vigilance to avoid convict violence leave you in perpetual terror. So traumatised are some boys that they vanish into the infirmary, never to return.
  
  This faction-genre narrative blends fact with fiction. Such boys existed. Such conditions existed. Such harrowing treatment of children served economic ends. While historians recount their fates, few authors explore the minds of these children… undoubtedly filled with fear, horror, and trauma.
  
  A reminder: This story of fiction woven with fact is for adult readers only.

  Kara DioGuardi is an award-winning hitmaker, a savvy record executive, and a successful music publisher whose songs have been recorded by such superstars as Pink, Carrie Underwood, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, Santana, Steven Tyler, Céline Dion, and so many others. She was also the feisty fourth judge on American Idol. But success wouldn’t have happened for this songwriter, artist, and producer without the dark times of defeat. Filled with the grace, raw honesty, and haunting emotion of her hit songs, A Helluva High Note is the soundtrack to Kara’s life—an intimate anthem about living, creating, loving, stumbling, picking herself up again, and ultimately succeeding. It is a moving chronicle of the experiences that have inspired her songs and given her the resilience and perspective to become the confidant, accomplished, adventurous warrior she is today. 
  Kara not only writes about what it was like to collaborate with some of our favorite performing artists, she also opens up about everything from her struggles with debilitating stage fright and an equally paralyzing eating disorder, to the most devastating yet profoundly life-altering experience—caring for her mother during her fatal battle with cancer. And, of course, she shares behind-the-scenes stories from her years on American Idol and the real truth about her departure from the show.  
   A Helluva High Note is filled with memorable and inspirational tales from the heart and trenches of life, business, and the world of entertainment. Passionate, wise, funny, and down-to-earth, it proves that finding, cultivating, and following your own true voice really is possible.
