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 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.
John Tripp had a chameleon genius which enlivened the literary life
of Wales for nearly three decades. Poet, short story writer and
journalist, he was an outspoken and often controversial writer.
Charming, abrasive, lyrical and satirical, 'The Meaning of Apricot
Sponge' is essential reading for anyone concerned with Wales and
the roots of its contemporary identity. His wit and sharply
observed social and political comments enriched debate,
publications and broadcasts at that most crucial time in the
struggle for self- rule in Wales. 'The Meaning of Apricot Sponge'
is the first publication of Tripp's work to represent his poetry,
fiction, journalism and creative non-fiction. This is a generous,
fully annotated selection across these genres with an illuminating
Introduction by Tony Curtis and a Foreword by Peter Finch, two of
Tripp's friends and collaborators. Both writers also contribute
poems dedicated to John Tripp.

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.
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.
