Unsung drum pioneer John Becker left an indelible mark on the landscapes of rock music and horror cinema before quietly quitting the business by 1970. Becker Comes Alive: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Pioneer’s Touching True Tale of Music, Murder, and Monsters tells the story of The Del-Aires, a rising surf rock band broken by Beatlemania, the British Invasion, and the changing musical trends of the late 1960s.
Retreating to a quiet but troubled life, the music never stops flowing in Becker’s veins, and decades later, an unexpected romance brings John back to live performance.
A unique blend of rock diary and “Tuesdays with Morrie”-style personal memoir, Becker Comes Alive: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Pioneer’s Touching True Tale of Music, Murder, and Monsters is a touching tale of music, loss, and the importance of friendship across the generations.

THE MUD WOMAN by Rob Errera
Following the deep footsteps of 2017’s The Mud Man, The Mud Woman picks up 200 years in the future, when politics, spiritualism, and fear clash in a way that mirrors modern times.
Compiled as a series of classified military reports, The Mud Woman searches for truth in a world of deception, and explores the motivations that push us to embrace the soft lie. Meanwhile, an indestructible “man of stone” smashes up military tanks, tears soldiers to pieces, and battles monsters on the ocean floor on his own quest for redemption and change.
“This is a splendid oddity. The Mud Woman has a wonderfully bonkers premise, but is so well-written and detailed that the experience of reading it is as awe-inspiring as the muddy deities who grace the pages.”Somer Canon, author of The Hag Witch Of Tripp Creek and Killer Chronicles.

Fake News & Real Bullshit: Government, Media, and Justice in America
by Rob Errera
Who broke the news?
Modern news media broke down in less than two decades, no time at all compared to the hundreds of years of journalism preceding it. News delivery is a highly competitive business, with truth often taking a back-seat to timeliness. Sensational, ‘click-bait’ headlines—once the sole domain of low-rent tabloids—are the new normal. Americans love junk news as deeply as junk food. The media is a mirror, and damn, is that reflection ugly.
Gaze into the media mirror and see the ever-changing face of politics, journalism, and American justice in this collection of more than 50 award-winning essays.
