Collection: Adult

In this highly anticipated memoir, the beloved actor and star of Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Sex and the City, Fallout, and more shares his utterly original account of his offbeat journey in Hollywood, his battles with fear and fame, and the projects that shaped him--and created a cult icon.

Everywhere I go I am followed by a mystery man. He looks like me but--not quite. On talk shows, I sip coffee on couches and pretend to be him; on social media, I put on his mask to engage in suburban silliness. And of course, we work together. But for him, the movies and TV shows never end. Where does this guy--this Kyle MacLachlan--end and where do I begin? And is he even real? And, holy mackerel . . . am I?

To be in the black suit, or not to be? Kyle MacLachlan's funny, moving, and playfully self-aware memoir charts a career that could belong to no other. Plucked from obscurity to star in David Lynch's Dune, the Hollywood blockbuster that never was, MacLachlan rebounded with a startling performance in Lynch's provocative masterpiece Blue Velvet, which would mark him as a master of the unusual and ultimately lead to his career-defining role as Agent Dale Cooper on the TV sensation Twin Peaks.

Fictional Selves is a book of doppelgangers, with MacLachlan mirrored by his own prodding ego ("Other Kyle"), the iconic characters he inhabited, and the ones that eluded his grasp but gave him a profound and surprising lens onto himself as a person and a performer. Taking us from the heights of critical success for Blue Velvet to the depths of the backyard pool in his infamous (and delightful) Showgirls love scene, MacLachlan brings us into the mind of one of the most distinctive actors of his generation, offering profound insights on collaborators like David Lynch, Laura Dern, Dennis Hopper, Anthony Hopkins, and more. Featuring lessons learned the hard way about ambition, love, and fatherhood, this memoir is an honest look into the remarkable--and often unpredictable--life of an enduring and endearing Hollywood icon.

Comprehensive, foundational, extraordinary.

A riveting historic narrative that tells the iconic story of the great heat wave that ravaged the continent in the last gasps of the Dust Bowl.

In 1936, after one of the coldest winters on record, North America experienced a heat wave that remains unmatched today. Thanks to a combination of an unusually warm sea surface in the Atlantic and Pacific, stagnating high-pressure, drought, and poor farming techniques, temperatures soared across virtually every state (and the territory of Alaska) for months.

This summer, the sun aimed its deadly rays at more than 11,000 Americans and 1,000 Canadians. Air conditioning was uncommon, workers' rights were few, and in an age before high blood pressure medication, a lot of middle-aged adults, toiling in the sun, were literally working themselves to death.

This was a summer in which there was almost no escape from the 100-plus temperatures, and woe to those who tried. Men, women, and children rushed into rivers to cool off, only to drown. Desperate people slept on roofs to catch a breeze, only to roll over and plummet to their deaths. Young and old, rich and poor, human and animal, it didn't really matter. If the heat wanted you, it was going to get you.

The heat wave of 1936 sparked massive social changes and technological advances, as well as improvements in health care, and it ignited an ongoing impassioned national dialogue about climate change that continues, to varying degrees, to this day.

Filled with vivid detail and characters as intense as the oppressive heat itself, The Summer of Death is the definitive narrative history about this paradigm changing season. In the tradition of Timothy Egan's The Worst Hard Time and Edward P. Kohn's Hot Time in the Old Town, The Summer of Death reveals a unique and vital chapter of American history, one that could portend dire consequences for our future.

Some storms don't roll in from the ocean... they rise from the past.

Trouble has a way of finding Clark Thomas, even when he's convinced life has finally settled down. After marrying former detective Gina Gomez, he imagines days filled with comfort, routine of running his bookstore, and the quiet rhythm of coastal living. But the peace they've worked for shatters when a friend from Clark's past is found murdered beside the pool at her Surfside Beach home, and her husband is nowhere to be found.

What first appears to be a burglary gone wrong quickly proves to be anything but. The couple weren't just old friends living a carefree beachside life. They were key researchers at OceanAi, a rising powerhouse in ocean-mapping technology whose breakthroughs have drawn attention from far outside the South Carolina coast. Rumors of stolen data and accelerating off-the-record interest spread through the Grand Strand, pulling Clark and Gomez into a dangerous web of secrets.

As they dig deeper, threads from the present begin tying themselves to long-forgotten crimes and buried motives that were never meant to resurface. Every clue opens a new question. Every discovery tightens the pressure. And every step forward reveals that the shadows surrounding the case reach far wider than anyone suspected.

Navigating shifting loyalties, hidden agendas, and threats coming from every direction, Clark and Gomez must rely on their instincts, their experience, and one another. What began as a simple attempt to help a friend soon becomes a race to uncover the truth before history repeats itself.

Set along the vibrant, sun-washed shores of Surfside Beach and the greater Grand Strand, Death in Surfside blends the warmth of coastal living with gripping suspense. Readers who enjoy clean thrillers, small-town crime, and character-driven mysteries will find themselves immersed in a world where every secret matters and every tide brings something new to the shore.

Embrace over fifty years of Earth, Wind & Fire through percussionist and vocalist Ralph Johnson's profound memoir. Ralph has seen it all and, for the first time, shares the inside story of their rise to fame through uplifting music, the challenges of the music industry, and the iconic mega band's mission to ascend themselves and listeners to greater heights. With 30 color photos inside!

Rhythm & Fire is a roadmap of music, resilience, and reflection as Ralph Johnson digs deep to tell the motivational story of Earth, Wind & Fire, from humble roots to worldwide fame and success.

Ralph began his drumming craft absorbing the vibrant energy of the '60s and '70s Los Angeles music culture where family and faith built the band's strong foundation. With the aid of founding vocalist Maurice White, they swear off the era's vices of excessive drugs and sex, instead aspiring to create powerful music of spirituality, hope, and soulfulness. Through this artistic exploration and their goal of spreading positive influence, their music propelled them around the world.

While the band was as strong as Earth and ascended like the Wind, they faced their share of Fire as Ralph provides real insight into the band's struggles (such as Maurice's abrupt hiatus, leaving their future uncertain) and the years of personal evolution needed to reclaim their triumphs. As Ralph and the other bandmates learned to persevere individually, they found a renewed purpose and reignited the band, keeping their shining star ever bright.

Ralph Johnson's genuine and inspiring stories delve into the deeper meanings of fame, success, faith, and community, proving why, even after fifty years of Earth, Wind & Fire, the band and its message still resonates with fans around the world today.

A cinematic and propulsive thriller from the author of Six Days Of The Condor and American Sky.

Complicating things is her monstrous husband and the fact that their only ally is Cody, the mysterious former Marine who runs the local gun shop and regularly ghosts on ordinary life.

Raise kids who can handle whatever life throws at them--from the Navy SEAL performance coach who discovered that real resilience comes from connection, not pressure.

Every parent wants to raise strong, confident kids. But we're often told we have to choose between gentle parenting that feels too permissive and tough love that damages connection. In the process, modern parenting has too often replaced preparation with protection.

There's another way: Puddle Jumper Parenting.

As a Navy SEAL performance coach, Brandon Webb once believed mental toughness came from pressure and perfection. Then he became a dad and everything changed. He discovered that real resilience isn't built by pushing harder. It's grown through compassion, connection, giving kids permission to fail forward, and being a steady presence in an uncertain world.

Puddle Jumper Parenting is about raising kids who leap, splash, and grow stronger with every mess. Kids who aren't afraid to make mistakes, take risks, or bounce back from failure. Using the same mental-performance techniques Webb used to train elite operators--now adapted for real families--you'll learn how to build lasting confidence through positive self-talk, help children handle stress and setbacks without falling apart, and create clear boundaries while maintaining emotional connection.

This isn't theory. It's battle-tested methods from the most demanding environments on earth, refined through years of raising three kids who are now grounded, joyful, and living lives on their own terms.

Your kid doesn't need to be perfect. They just need to be brave enough to jump.
