Summary

Noted mafia writers Wayne Clingman and Doug Hess, with such titles as The Buffalo Mob and The Mafia in Hollywood, write a self-help book that many wannnabe members of the mob in New York or fans of The Sopranos could read in order to get a leg up on rivals.
 
By reading this pop culture look at mafia history, the reader will gain tips from lifestyle to books to read, films to watch, recipes to use, and Twitter accounts to follow.
 
Written very much tongue in cheek, Clingman and Hess believe this book will be more enjoyable then Joe Gallo's last birthday dinner.

    Tonechaser is the first in a series of audiobooks based around the hardback titled Tonechaser – Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen. Veteran rock journalist and author Steve Rosen narrates the nearly 20-hour audiobook but all the interviews between Rosen and the legendary guitarist which occur in the 580-page hardback utilize the actual archival recordings made by Steve dating all the way back to 1978. So, what you are hearing in Tonechaser – Vol. 1 are hours and hours of extraordinarily rare, never before heard conversations presented here for the first time. 
    There has never been an audiobook such as this one. Rosen had a unique friendship with Van Halen no other writer ever experienced. Because of this very close and meaningful relationship, many of the interviews embedded in Tonechaser – Vol. 1 reveal a profound depth of respect and trust between writer and rockstar. 
    Van Halen fans will truly love this audiobook. Tonechaser – Vol. 1 is an important piece in the history of Edward Van Halen and a stunning tribute to the legacy of the late and legendary guitarist.

    Thomas Clayton Wolfe was born at the family home, 92 Woodfin Street, in Asheville, North Carolina on October 3rd, 1900.  
    Aged 15, Wolfe began his studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) where he enrolled in a playwriting course. Wolfe graduated in 1920 and enrolled at the Graduate School for Arts and Sciences at Harvard. Here he studied playwriting under the tutelage of George Pierce Baker. In 1922 he received his master's degree from Harvard.  
    Wolfe now began the transition from studying to commercial playwright. He went to New York in November, 1923 trying to sell his plays to Broadway.  The Theatre Guild came close to producing Welcome to Our City but in the end declined.  Wolfe now believed his style of writing was more suited to fiction.  Grasping the opportunity this afforded him he sailed to England in October 1924 to write and from there on to France, Italy and Switzerland. 
    In 1926 Wolfe began writing a novel, O Lost. This would eventually become Look Homeward, Angel. It was based on his years in Asheville. The original manuscript of O Lost was over 1100 pages. Maxwell Perkins, one of the great book editors of the age, worked at his publishers, Scribner’s and he began to focus the book, cutting and re-shaping it to center it on the character of Eugene.   
    The novel was published in 1929. It was a success.   
    Wolfe now committed the next 4 years to writing a multi-volume epic entitled The October Fair.  At Scribner’s Perkins once more decided to edit it down to a single volume; Of Time and the River.  It was even more successful than his first. It was hailed as the literary event of 1935 and cemented his reputation as one of America’s foremost novelists.  
    In 1938, after submitting his new opus, which ran to an incredible one million words, to his new editor, Edward Aswell, Wolfe left to tour the West, a part of the country he had never before visited. Whilst travelling Wolfe became ill with pneumonia and spent three weeks in a Seattle hospital. Complications arose. The prognosis was serious.  He was diagnosed with miliary tuberculosis of the brain. 
    On September 6th, he was sent to Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment. The ensuing operation revealed that the disease had overrun the entire right side of his brain.  
    Thomas Clayton Wolfe never regained consciousness and died shortly before his 38th birthday on September 15th, 1938.

    Love for a Deaf Rebel introduces readers to Pearl, a vivacious Canadian born into a silent world. With pathos and nostalgia, the hearing author recounts his roller-coaster ride with a deaf maverick, who, unknown to him, had paranoid schizophrenia. We follow their encounters through actual conversations written before the author learned sign language; we go on their motorcycle ride to Guatemala; we watch as the happy couple moves to Bowen Island, a community with just three paved roads, where Pearl and the author marry and build their dream home and hobby farm. They encounter one obstacle after another while building their life together as Pearl’s perception of reality—and, crucially, their perception of each other—begins to change. There are other books about schizophrenia in the family, such as Hidden Valley Road, and deaf–hearing relationships, such as Children of a Lesser God, but none that tells the true story of a woman who struggled with both disabilities, and her final tumultuous romance. 
      
    “The turn in events blind-sided me, and the tragedy of the situation made me realise what a privilege and a responsibility I had to convey your thoughts and words as well as possible. I found the book deeply personal and raw, a wonderful window into the world of the deaf. I found my hands moving involuntarily whenever I was voicing deaf characters. As things started to fall apart, I was deeply moved by how personal your account of that time was. By the end of the book, I was choking back my tears and having to re-record lines as I found my voice cracking on the recording. Thank you for trusting me to bring your book, and your journey, to audio.”—Joe Vaz, Narrator
