Book Description
(Book). In this funny and insightful investigation, Steve Karmen dubbed the "King of the Jingle" by People magazine takes us back to a time when consumers happily sang along to "Pepsi Cola Hits the Spot," "This Bud's for You," and "Hershey Is the Great American Chocolate Bar," and brings us to the era of borrowed melodies, electronic sounds, and lyrics that never mention the name of the product. Did Madison Avenue get too sophisticated for its own good? Too cheap? Too sneaky? In its quest to combat the technology that allows viewer to "zap" the commercials, "tune out," or eliminate advertising, did the advertising world invent "integration" (putting the product into the programming) rather than make the commercials lovable, hummable units of entertainment themselves? Karmen explores the demise of the advertising music business and why the future of advertising is so precarious.

Book Description
Jim Rix's ordinary life was interrupted when he learned in 1992 that a cousin was on Death Row. Rix had never met Ray Krone and initially took only a casual interest in his case. He soon learned that among the abundance of evidence (fingerprints, footprints, pubic hairs, eyewitness testimony, DNA), only a bite mark tied his cousin to the murder of Kim Ancona, a Phoenix bartender. Questioning Ray's guilt, Rix invited a well-respected odontologist (bite mark expert) into the evidence room in the Maricopa County courthouse to compare the evidentiary bite mark photos to the cast of Ray's dentition. The second opinion not only convinced Rix of his cousin's innocence, but also embarked him on an eye-opening journey. JINGLE JANGLE is not simply the story of the monumental effort of family and friends to free Ray Krone, it is a penetrating indictment of an unfair justice system. With honesty, wit and a genius for interweaving story and brief, Rix tells a no-holes-barred tale: a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a strange verdict, a quest to make sense of it all and a righteous battle for justice. You'll meet a remarkable defense attorney who knew what it took to free Ray Krone: "We must find out who killed Kim Ancona and shove it up their ass with a hot poker." Finally, you're in for a shock when you see where the author's attempt to discover whodunit ended up, and you too will be left wondering, Who really dunit?

Nothing would stand in his way not even his nephew's and certainly not Toby. So, he used his influence to keep his nephews out of jail. He couldn't afford attention being brought to his dealings as he made a grab for Butternut.The Ryerson boys were freed, and Toby's life was placed in danger. Put at risk and having no chance to prevail against grown men Toby decides to find the one man who has the skill to deal with this devious scum. He searched for Charlie only to find him buried in the church cemetery in a neglected corner under a crooked headstone.What was Toby to do now? This and other questions are answered as Toby makes his way through a chaotic maze. Like "Mouse Trap" the shoe kicks the bucket and the ball rolls down the stairs, so Toby must follow the path laid out before him.

A sleuth rescues two orphaned Golden Retrievers—and tries to solve their master’s murder—in this “delightful” mystery from the Agatha Award finalist (Publishers Weekly). This year, all Melanie wants for Christmas is a dull moment. Between her teaching job, and showing her Standard Poodle puppy, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. But when her son Davey’s usual bus driver, Henry Pruitt, disappears and is replaced by a surly, pierced twentysomething, Melanie is concerned. The elderly, amiable Henry was a friend to all in the neighborhood, so she decides to check on him…only to find that he died two days earlier, under suspicious circumstances. As if that weren’t bad enough, Henry’s two Golden Retrievers are now bereft of both master and home. Melanie can’t just abandon them, so she brings them to her Aunt Peg, the most stubborn woman on the planet, who’s now determined to find out the truth about Henry's death, no matter what it takes. Soon, the indomitable Aunt Peg has Melanie making a list of suspects and checking it twice. And unless she sniffs out this Scrooge of a killer fast, a lump of coal in her stocking may not be the worst thing Melanie gets this Christmas… “As ever, the author provides a captivating behind-the-scenes look at the world of show dogs.”—Publishers Weekly "Melanie Travis is a terrific character."--Romantic Times
