    Have you ever thought that just one text yes, just one text could change everything forever? 
    One moment you’re in love, safe in promises, certain of forever. The next, a single message can unravel it all your faith, your trust, your heart. 
    That’s where Joseph Kaburu’s story begins. A love once sacred, built on prayer and dreams. A betrayal that slipped in quietly, tearing it all apart. But Just One Text is not just about heartbreak it’s about what happens after. The darkness of nights filled with unanswered questions. The weight of forgiveness that feels impossible. The faith tested when love fails. 
    This memoir is raw, true, and unforgettable. It will take you into the tenderness of love, the sting of betrayal, and the long, aching journey toward healing. Yet it is not a story of bitterness. It is not a book of shame. It is a testimony of rising again of scars that become strength, and wounds that begin to shine as wisdom. 
    And here’s the truth: this is not only Joseph’s story. It’s yours too if you have ever loved and lost, trusted and been broken, wondered whether peace could ever return… or if you are already in love, or planning to love. 
    Just One Text will lure you with the beauty of love, break you with its betrayal, and lift you with its redemption. It will pull you in until you feel every tear, every prayer, every heartbeat. 
    Dare to open these pages. Dare to feel what you’ve buried. Dare to discover that even after love fails, life and healing are waiting, and still can love again. 
    Because once you begin, you won’t be able to stop until the last word.

Take a look behind the scenes at Corabi’s time fronting Mötley Crüe, Union, and The Dead Daisies, as well as his time playing rhythm guitar with Ratt and even his stint as a long-haul trucker. Whether it’s detailing his parents difficult divorce, his family’s dark history of abuse, his run-in with a serial killer, or simply the best way to arrive at a wedding—which maybe is by helicopter and maybe it isn’t—he pulls no punches and outlines the good and bad of it all in this raucous autobiography.

    Exploding on the music scene in the early 1970s, the rock group KISS combined raw energy with theatrical showmanship—not to mention face painting! Founding member Gene Simmons—an outrageous star whose superlong tongue, legendary sexual exploits, and demonic makeup have made him a rock icon—recounts his own story as well as the history of the band. In KISS and Make-Up, Simmons shares a wild, shocking, and unbelievable tale about an immigrant boy from Israel who studied to be a rabbi but was saved by rock and roll and became one of the most notorious rock stars in the world.
    
    In his irreverent voice, Gene talks about the girls (more than 4,000!); his bond with KISS cofounder Paul Stanley; the struggles he and Paul had with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, and the untimely death of Eric Carr. He also details his love life, including stories about his relationships with Cher, Diana Ross, and Shannon Tweed—the mother of his son and daughter and companion for almost forty years. And, of course, Simmons expresses his enormous love and affection for the people who put him there in the first place—the KISS Army and the ever-loyal KISS fans around the world!

    Kelly McMasters found herself in her mid-thirties living her fantasy: she'd moved with her husband, a painter, from New York City to rural Pennsylvania, where their children roamed idyllic acres in rainboots and diapers. The pastoral landscape and the bookshop they opened were restorative at first, for her and her marriage. But soon, she was quietly plotting her escape. 
     
     
     
    In The Leaving Season, McMasters chronicles the heady rush of falling in love and carving out a life in the city, the slow dissolution of her relationship in an isolated farmhouse, and the complexities of making a new home for herself and her children as a single parent. She delves into the tricky and often devastating balance between seeing and being seen; loss and longing; desire and doubt; and the paradox of leaving what you love in order to survive. 
     
     
     
    Whether considering masculinity in the countryside through the life of a freemartin calf, the vulnerability of new motherhood in the wake of a car crash, or the power of community pulsing through an independent bookshop, The Leaving Season finds in every ending a new beginning.

    I first met Mike Pinder when the interview you are about to hear was conducted in the mid-1990s.  Tt was generally known that Mike was very spiritually evolved and able to mirror his deep realizations through his incredible music both as a solo artist and with the Moody Blues. As an interviewer, I was taken by the sincerity, depth, and breadth of his knowledge and wisdom. Pinder gave freely the benefit of his unique understanding of life through the music that so effortlessly flowed from within.There was an incredible honesty about the man which gave everything he said a moral authority and simple truth that was quite amazing. Without ever posing as one Mike was a very high spiritual teacher.  What you will hear is an incredible document of not only the early history and success Mike Pinder achieved as a musician and composer but also the deeper aspects of living a true spiritual life amidst the material maelstrom.Mike was in many ways the soul of The Moody Blues, a progressive band of brothers that touched so many. Fortunately, he has left behind a huge portion of his great spirit within his indelible and enlightening music and words. This audiobook is a tribute of the triumph of true spiritual life made manifest within the context of this rare and wonderful musician composer and philosopher.Here Pinder speaks for himself from the vantage of a life well lived centered upon the deepest from within the soulful core of this wonderful being. His music and philosophy will live long. Mike's inspirational travels continue. Geoffrey Giuliano, 2024
