There were many reasons Moby was never going to make it as a DJ and musician in the New York club scene. This was the New York of Palladium; of Mars, Limelight, and Twilo; of unchecked, drug-fueled hedonism in pumping clubs where dance music was still largely underground, popular chiefly among working-class African Americans and Latinos. And then there was Moby - not just a poor, skinny white kid from Connecticut but a devout Christian, a vegan, and a teetotaler.

What do you do when you realise you have everything you think you've ever wanted but still feel completely empty? What do you do when it all starts to fall apart? The second volume of Moby's extraordinary life story is a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons that lurk just beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity lifestyle. In summer 1999, Moby released the album that defined the millennium, PLAY. Like generation-defining albums before it, PLAY was ubiquitous, and catapulted Moby to superstardom.

Too often I've ridden down the wrong trail. Sometimes, because I didn’t know better. Occasionally, even when I did. Then one day a surprising thing happened. Without knowing why, I sat down and wrote the first draft of Dusty. The good Lord gave me the talent and the wanting to write. My desire is to have these stories help spread God’s Word. If nothing else, it is to share a story told well to those who will enjoy it.

From one of the most interesting and iconic musicians of our time, a piercingly tender, funny and harrowing account of the path from suburban poverty and alienation to a life of beauty, squalor and unlikely success out of the NYC club scene of the late '80s and '90s.

T. W. Lawrence writes the stories that make us feel good about growing up in Texas and shows his love for the state. Take Me To Texas is his anthology of 12 short stories set in, or mostly about, people from south of the Red River.

Cowboy did not find Ray Patterson in Cowtown. His old pal was two years dead. Without Ray's help he would struggle to find Brother Van, the itinerant preacher, wherever that man might be in this wide open land. Locating the wandering evangelist was the only chance Cowboy had a real peace. His journey had begun.
