    Mississippi Hippie is a gripping journey of a young man navigating the turbulent waters of small-town 1960s Mississippi, where he grapples with the complexities of family, race relations, and self-discovery. From the dusty fields to the lively pool halls, from the bustling beauty shop to the whispers of the elite, he embarks on a quest for understanding amidst the backdrop of his father's battle with alcoholism and the unraveling of his family. Personal loss casts a poignant shadow in "Mississippi Hippie," a constant reminder of life's fragility. Willy Bearden learns powerful lessons from "those no longer in attendance," their absence shaping his search for meaning and belonging. 
     "Mississippi Hippie" is far more than a memoir; it's a pulsating exploration of resilience, rebellion, and the enduring human desire to find a place to call home.

    Kings and Queens - The History...

    This is a book that consists of 3 titles, which are these: 
    1 - As King Henry VIII's 2nd marriage partner, Anne Boleyn ruled as Queen of England from 1533 till 1536. Her marriage and execution by beheading for treason and other criminal offenses made her an essential player in the political and religious chaos that identified the start of the English Reformation. Anne was the daughter of Thomas Boleyn, first Earl of Wiltshire, and his marriage partner, Girl Elizabeth Howard. She got her education in Holland and France, mainly as a housemaid of honor to Queen Claude of France. Anne went to England in early 1522, meaning to wed her Irish cousin James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond; nevertheless, the marriage failed, and she found work as a housemaid of honor to Henry VIII's partner, Catherine of Aragon. 
    2 - Mary I, typically called Mary Tudor and called "Bloody Mary" by her Protestant challengers, ruled as Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 till November 17th, 1558. She is well recalled for her solid attempts to reverse the English Reformation, which started throughout her dad's reign, Henry VIII's reign. 
    Bloody Mary was cruel, cold, and from what we know, there was a cause for this. Let’s take a look at her life, her problems, and the way she handled them. 
    3 - From 768 to 800, Charlemagne, also referred to as Charles the Great, was King of the Franks, King of the Lombards, and Emperor of the Romans. Charlemagne combined many western and main Europe at the time of the Early Middle Ages. Since the fall of the Western Roman Empire 3 centuries before, he was the first acknowledged emperor to rule from western Europe. The Carolingian Empire is the name given to Charlemagne's broadening Frankish world. Antipope Paschal the Third later canonized him.

    This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
    1: William Shakespeare is the celebrated script writer of the most popular plays in the English language. By writing both tragedies, romances, and comedies in the 16th century, he made a name for himself and became successful in the art of drama. Shakespeare’s life and decisions led to his acclaim, and in this book, we will lay out some of the most significant changes in both his personal choices and his career. Despite of his financial debts, his complex family life, and his background, he was able to entertain his audiences both in his time and for centuries after his death. 
    2: Mark Twain is arguably one of the most famous authors in the United States, with his books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. His characters were a typical and yet deviant episode of the time period in which he lived, depicting the circumstances under which many people lived. The paradox lies in the fact that many people were shocked and impressed by his stories at the same time. 
    3: Jane Austen is well-known for some famous books, among which the popular “Pride and Prejudice.” As an author in the early 1800s, many people may envision pretty dresses and fancy demeanor, but the reality of her life included some hardships as well that may not be so obvious by reading her novels. In this comprehensive guide, we shed more light on her situation, her road to success, her family life, and the trials she faced in a time when the culture was very different. The roles of men and women, the interaction between parents and children, and the economic situation can be unimaginable for us if we don’t try to expose enough details and paint a detailed picture of that era in history.

    From Chalk Board to Neon Lights...

    Russell C. Brennan (aka Russell Writer) started DJing at only 15 years old in places he wasn’t even old enough to be in, where ‘Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting’ by Elton John was often on the turntable. Fought over by two agencies who wanted to represent him, he quickly established himself as a popular DJ in clubs, restaurants, dancehalls and pubs around London and Southern England before being snapped up by an international agency who would catapult him to being one of the first super DJs back in the 80s playing big clubs around Europe. He was also asked to become the premiere VJ of MTV Europe when it launched. 
    This book is far from being a bog-standard sex, drugs and rock n’ roll tale (although some of that apart from the drugs does creep in). He gives an insight into what a ruthless business it can be and covers other striking events that also became part of his journey like murder and a very unique marriage. 
    It gives an insight into what it’s like to be a top DJ and celebrity lifestyle , often in a humorous or poetic way but as is the case with some of his other biographies about other parts of his career, it’s a warts and all story featuring more than a few unusual relationships, so no holds barred and not for the squeamish. 
    Russell is currently the world’s only male Geisha (the rest are all female). What that means in reality is, he has made a dent in all the arts from writing, music, photography and art and is even editor of an influential cultural magazine and head honcho of an influential indie record label. 
    . He has come a long way since those early DJ days that first put him on the map.
