Book Description
The proximity of the East L.A. barrio to Hollywood is as close as a short drive on the 101 freeway, but the cultural divide is enormous. Born to Mexican-born and American-naturalized parents, Alicia Armendariz migrated a few miles west to participate in the free-range birth of the 1970s punk movement. Alicia adopted the punk name Alice Bag, and became lead singer for The Bags, early punk visionaries who starred in Penelope Spheeris' documentary The Decline of Western Civilization. Here is a life of many crossed boundaries, from East L.A.'s musica ranchera to Hollywood's punk rock; from a violent male-dominated family to female-dominated transgressive rock bands. Alice's feminist sympathies can be understood by the name of her satiric all-girl early Goth band Castration Squad. Violence Girl takes us from a violent upbringing to an aggressive punk sensibility; this time a difficult coming-of-age memoir culminates with a satisfying conclusion, complete with a happy marriage and children. Nearly a hundred excellent photographs energize the text in remarkable ways. Alice Bag's work and influence can be seen this year in the traveling Smithsonian exhibition "American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music."

Book Description
Merrily Watkins, parish priest, single mother, and exorcist, works for the Diocese of Hereford in a remote village on the border of England and Wales. Cozy? Not in the least. The elite warriors of the Hereford-based SAS know all about pain and the enduring of it. Syd Spicer, ex-SAS trooper, has found himself back in the Regiment, this time as its chaplain, responsible for the spiritual welfare of the hardest men in or out of uniform. Faced with a case which would normally be passed discreetly to Hereford diocesan exorcist Merrily Watkins, Spicer is forced, for security reasons, to try and handle it himself, and is coming close to a breakdown. Meanwhile, the scattered communities along the Welsh border have their own crisis. With recession biting deep, urban crime has spilled into the countryside and old barbaric evils are revived. When a wealthy landowner is hacked to death in his own farmyard, the senior investigating officer DI Frannie Bliss is caught in the backlash, his private life in danger of exposure. With the framework of her own world beginning to crack, Merrily is persuaded to venture into areas where neither a priest nor a woman is welcome to unearth secrets linked with the border's pagan past—secrets which she knows can never be disclosed.

Book Description
His name was Daniel Alexander Jacobi but his friends just called him Jac. He was the quintessential underachiever, a likeable ne'er-do-well who just couldn't seem to get his life together. After a life time of financial mismanagement, he'd wound broke and living pay cheque to pay cheque on a salary that never seemed to stretch far enough ... a situation he found increasingly frustrating, but one he couldn't find his way out of ... until one day on a back road, everything changed dramatically. With 40 million in $100.00 bills literally dropped in front of him and the mob and the police searching for him, he fought desperately to hide the money. Fear of having been seen by someone gripped his heart like an icy hand, as he struggled to try to come to grips with his new found wealth. This is the story of an unremarkable individual suddenly thrust into a terrifying situation which forced him to draw on a hidden reserve of courage and resolve in order to protect those he loved and the Mother Lode! Unwilling to defend himself, he discovered a will to kill if necessary to protect the money and the future of his loved ones.
