  Life, With A History Of Smuggling. 
  ISLAMORADA, Florida, With Keys Don -- "Marijuana is a people business," explained Don, a long-retired pioneer of the marijuana smuggling industry, who flew single-engine planes back and forth to Colombia, carrying up to a million dollars-worth of pot per load, in today's money. 
  He brought marijuana through the Florida Keys, an area with thousands of places to hide, that's been a haven for smugglers since the times of the Spanish Main up until sometime late last night. Later he and his friends used boats and vehicles and expanded connections throughout the states, Mexico and the Philippines, even working with Federal Agents. 
  "I'll tell you about the life of a smuggler," said Don. "When marijuana is legal, we will be like the rum runners during prohibition and people might be interested in how it was in Smugglers' Times.

  In this explosive literary debut, Clayton Howard breaks his silence to reveal the untold story of his eight-year entanglement with music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and singer Cassie Ventura. As Combs' trial dominates headlines, Howard's haunting memoir offers an intimate counternarrative that challenges everything you think you know. 
  What began as a paid encounter at Manhattan's London Hotel in 2009 evolved into something far more complex—a web of desire, manipulation, and emotional dependency that defied easy categorization. Howard pulls back the curtain on the infamous "freak-offs," revealing not sensationalized tabloid fodder, but a raw exploration of power dynamics in the shadow of celebrity. 
  Through Howard's unflinching voice, both Diddy and Cassie emerge as flawed, multifaceted individuals navigating a world they created and were ultimately consumed by. Far from portraying Cassie as a passive victim, Howard presents her as an active participant in their toxic triangle—initiating, engaging, and complicating the narrative of abuse that has dominated media coverage. 
  From tender moments to terrifying encounters—including Cassie's overdose and Howard's own drugging—this memoir refuses to sanitize or sensationalize. Instead, it offers a meditation on consent, control, and the murky intersection of sex, money, and fame. 
  CASSIE is more than celebrity tell-all—it's a brutal examination of how power corrupts intimacy and how the truth is always more complicated than the headlines suggest. Howard's voice cuts through the noise with uncomfortable honesty, offering readers a chance to grapple with the moral ambiguities that define modern celebrity culture. 
  Raw, illuminating, and impossible to ignore.

  Andrew Johnson - The American...

  A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian recounts the tale of the unwanted president who ran afoul of Congress over Reconstruction and was nearly removed from office 
   
   
   
  Andrew Johnson never expected to be president. But just six weeks after becoming Abraham Lincoln's vice president, the events at Ford's Theatre thrust him into the nation's highest office. Johnson faced a nearly impossible task—to succeed America's greatest chief executive, to bind the nation's wounds after the Civil War, and to work with a Congress controlled by the so-called Radical Republicans. Annette Gordon-Reed, one of America's leading historians of slavery, shows how ill-suited Johnson was for this daunting task. His vision of reconciliation abandoned the millions of former slaves (for whom he felt undisguised contempt) and antagonized congressional leaders, who tried to limit his powers and eventually impeached him. 
   
   
   
  The climax of Johnson's presidency was his trial in the Senate and his acquittal by a single vote, which Gordon-Reed recounts with drama and palpable tension. Despite his victory, Johnson's term in office was a crucial missed opportunity; he failed the country at a pivotal moment, leaving America with problems that we are still trying to solve.

  Half-memoir, half-biography, Wake The Others wrestles with the legacy of the Salvadoran Civil War. Blending lyric and narrative, Palomo traces his mother’s childhood, war experiences, family separation, migration, and its aftermath. Political without sacrificing craft, confessional without navel-gazing, this debut collection of poetry guides readers through the quagmire of family secrets to a place where healing is possible. 
  "Willy Palomo’s outstanding debut takes a scalpel to the heart of biography as a genre, cuts through to the arteries of inherited nostalgia for a motherland, and opens the capillaries of a mama, abuela, and bisabuela’s traumas. This book is a gut wrenching family narrative of the history of violence in El Salvador and a family’s journey north in hope of stability and the possibility of joy. Palomo’s poems are an important and unique addition to the growing voice of Central American writers in the United States.”  
  —Natalie Scenters-Zapico, author of The Verging Cities and Lima :: Limón
