  You don't outrun grief. You can't just escape from a dark night of the soul. You have to drive through it…one courageous mile at a time. 
  Ed Rahill's life has veered off course, and while he dreams of becoming the man his Grandmother taught him to be, he's become haunted by losing the love of his life, and is struggling to have faith in himself. 
  With his foot on the pedal of GT's since he was a young boy, he enters an outlaw road race across America in the tradition of a Cannonball Run. 
  Ed and his partner Tim didn't think they stood a chance to win — "We just didn't want to give up on ourselves." Facing the most aggressive, nationwide highway patrol effort in U.S. history, Rahill was presented with the choice we all face at some time in our lives: succumb to our fears of failure and inadequacy, or find the fortitude to go on and leave the world a better place because we are here. 
  This story is about more than the thrill of speeding through the New Mexico desert at 140mph+. It's about survival, redemption, and discovering who you are when everything else falls away. One Mile at a Time unfolds with heart-pounding adrenaline and deep emotional truth. From Boston to San Diego, Rahill's record-breaking journey becomes a meditation on life, purpose, and the pursuit of meaning in a fast-changing world. 
  If you loved Ford v Ferrari, this is your next must-read. 
  Perfect for racing fans, historical memoir readers, road trip lovers, and anyone drawn to stories of resilience, purpose, and redemption. 
  For everyone who's ever dug their way out of a dark night of the soul, with their heart set on becoming a better version of themselves to leave the world a better place — this is your story. 
  Get your copy of One Mile at a Time today, and experience the spirit of American endurance racing.

  Foreordained - From their pens...

  Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was born on 9th February 1863 in Clapton, London.  
  He was educated at St John's School, Leatherhead, Marlborough College and Balliol College, Oxford.  Hope trained as a lawyer and barrister and was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1887. Despite what was thought to be a promising legal career he had literary ambitions and wrote in his spare time. 
  His early works appeared in various periodicals of the day but for his first book ‘A Man of Mark’ (1890), with no publisher interested, he published with his own resources.  
  More novels and short stories followed, including the mildly successful ‘Mr Witt's Widow’ in 1892. Hope even found time to run as the Liberal candidate for Wycombe in the election that same year but was unsuccessful. 
  His first major literary success came with ‘The Dolly Dialogues’, a collection of previously published magazine pieces followed very quickly by his instant classic, ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’. He now gave up the vestiges of his legal career to pursue writing full-time. 
  Despite never again reaching the same pinnacle of success he was popular and wrote prolifically across novels, plays and of course, short stories though his writing output rapidly diminished after the war. 
  In 1918 he was knighted for his contribution to propaganda efforts during World War I.  
  His short stories are delicate, mannered and often surprising with their wit, humour and interplay of characters who say one thing and usually mean another.  He was very definitely a writer of escapist rather than serious fare but they are no less enjoyable for that. 
  Anthony Hope died of throat cancer on 8th July 1933 at his country home, Heath Farm at Walton-on-the-Hill in Surrey. He was 70.

  The Grateful Dead were one of the most successful live acts of the rock era. Performing more than 2,300 shows between 1965 and 1995, the Grateful Dead's reputation as a "live band" was—and continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings from every era of the group's long and colorful career. In Live Dead, musicologist John Brackett examines how live recordings—from the group's official releases to fan-produced tapes, bootlegs to "Betty Boards," and Dick's Picks to From the Vault—have shaped the general history and popular mythology of the Grateful Dead for more than fifty years. Drawing on a diverse array of materials and documents contained in the Grateful Dead Archive, Live Dead details how live recordings became meaningful among the band and their fans not only as sonic souvenirs of past musical performances but also as expressions of assorted ideals, including notions of "liveness," authenticity, and the power of recorded sound.
