I would like to introduce you to UNREST, Book One of Descendants of the Ebony Path, a tale of the 12 Risen. It is a tale of a world long since destroyed by technology, where the final gift of knowledge is the magic of genetic enhancement, and gifted men and women are are called the Anointed who stand as vanguards of free nations and champions of empires. It is the tale of the Al-Kraal Empire. A expanding regime built by a repudiated scholar turned conqueror, whose ambitions are as brilliant as they are appalling. It is the tale of the remarkable women of Venter's Hall, where mastery of the female matrix has given women power to beggar the gods. It is the tale of the 12 Risen. Twelve young men, some born in, others condemned to, a life of slavery. Twelve men whose rebellion reshaped a broken world. Lastly, it is the tale of the Ebony Path, a rent in the fabric of the universe created by an ancient clash of powers. A place where roads lead to the very heart of creation and worlds known and unknown. A place where any who descend can find themselves subject to possession by merciless beings with angelic countenances. Book One takes place nineteen years after the rebellion.

A Special Memoir for a Special Moment in Hollywood History . . .

"Some Like It Hot" occupies a unique place in American culture. This beloved classic showcases five comic geniuses: Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, I. A. L. Diamond, Billy Wilder, and Marilyn Monroe. It has been honored by the American Film Institute as the ""Funniest Film of All Time."" It has contributed quotes, styles, and stories to film lore. Yet the full story of its making has never been told--until now.

His children always looked forward to their bedtime story every evening, and when his daughter died of cancer at the early age of 27, he remembered the good times, especially those few moments he spent reading her favourite stories, to her every night. Those times are special to every parent. A small sleepy village is surprised when garden gnomes are brought to life by a remote star, changing their dull little lives forever. Strange things begin to happen in the village. The gnomes decide they are going to do everything they can to help the villagers. There's Mustafa the leader of the clan, Sam and Ella the tiny twins, Lofty, with his wheelbarrow, Willy the Scottish gnome, Raymond the rabbit, Timmy the tortoise, Dwain the train and many more; Although they work hard, nothing stops them from having fun. Eventually, the gnomes find that they can speak to their owners and the other villagers, and confess their part in all the mysterious happenings. The village of Genom will never be the same.

"Curtis's humour and charm, ability to turn a poem with the seemingly simplest of images, and that understanding of how words will play over the listener's ear, are hallmarks brought to the fore on the page... His greatest skill is to make readers go 'yes, of course'; he reminds us of what we've known all along." Michael McKimm, The Warwick Review

The poems in the Irish poet Tony Curtis's new collection are woven out of his fascination with the everyday, the quirky, the downright extraordinary, poems wrapped up in love and death, friendship and memory, madness and music - from the blind man singing in a field, to his three Cistercian uncles singing plainchant. There are folk at the heart of everything Tony Curtis writes. He is a born storyteller, and these are poems crafted by a poet with a wonderful ability to express great depth of feeling with deceptive simplicity.

"The Well in the Rain", Tony Curtis's second book from Arc, brings together work from his six previous books. Bicycles, famine, ghosts, grannies, Tibetan Buddhists, Beckettian sighs and Lucian Freud's nudes are all revealed with a rare, and loving, simplicity. His award-winning poetry has always been characterized by its compassion and humour: full of gods but empty of forgiveness. In a closing selection of new poems, gathered here as "Tossing the Feathers", Curtis's wit and heartache surface in a long poem "The Well in the Rain", that faces the loss of his father. This is life-giving, life-affirming poetry, full of loss, love and longing.

He has appeared in over a hundred films. Elvis copied his looks. The Beatles put him on the cover of Sgt. Pepper. Tony Curtis is without question a Hollywood legend and part of its Golden Age. In American Prince he tells the whole story, from his hard-knock childhood growing up in the Bronx to his wild days as a Hollywood playboy, his destructive drug addiction and his life now as an artist in his eighties. He talks frankly about the people he has known during his long and illustrious career, from the studio owners and directors to his famous friends, such as Jack Lemmon, Cary Grant and James Dean, and the women in his life, including Janet Leigh and Natalie Wood. Forthright and enthralling, and sparing no detail and no ego, American Prince is the true record of a life lived to the full.
