    As opposed to the myths of popular culture, not everybody was swaggering around with six-irons strapped down and leading lives of mayhem. But there were the exceptions--every bit as evil, bloody and deadly as legends portray. And so too, was the law that handled these outlaws.With an eye toward New Mexico, or perhaps the Arizona Territories, M D "Shorty" Thompson is a young cowboy looking for winters warmer than those of the deep-in-your-bones cold of the Texas plains. But just north of the former Republic's border Thompson runs afoul of cattle rustlers and killers. The ensuing ordeal lands the young Texan in Wyoming where he crosses paths with the stolen cattle's illegal new owner, a retired Army General more crooked than a dog's hind leg. But crooked or not, the nearby Army fort carries more weight than local law enforcement and they are solidly behind the retired General. So in hopes of finding justice with a little more backbone, Thompson strikes out for Washington DC.But instead of finding Justice, Thompson himself becomes justice when President Rutherford Hayes sees just the Marshal he was looking for in the gutsy Texan. Now to get the justice he wants, Thompson must fight the cattle rustlers of the entire New Mexico and Wyoming territories--all while wearing a tin star target.Narrated in the authentically seasoned dialect of a southwestern storyteller, this first volume in the Marshal Thompson series begins a tribute to the thrilling and heartbreaking hardships of our nation's western history. Accurately reconstructing the sweeping landscapes of the old west, these novels document the times and historical locations largely ignored by writers who have not been there. Paul L Thompson actually has been there, and you will feel like you were there, too.

     The widowed Lady Elfrida has achieved the impossible. She’s ensured her twelve-year-old son has become king, despite the gruesome murder of his predecessor and half-brother. While many blame the king’s mother, she looks to two rival noblemen as the real perpetrators. Even with the reappearance of an unwelcome enemy on England’s shores, Viking warriors, who attack and threaten the safety and security of England, and specifically, the young king, the two noblemen are far from resigned to Lady Elfrida’s power. As her son takes the final steps to become king in actions as well as name, she’s increasingly isolated by the deaths of allies and the scheming ways of others, including the king. Resentful of her continuing influence, Lady Elfrida faces banishment from Court with both fierce determination and acquiescence. The King's Mother is the first part in a new trilogy.

    The Big Show is the only book ever to offer an unguarded, behind-the-scenes glimpse of this singular event, along with remarkable insight into how the Oscars reflect the high-stakes politics of Hollywood, our obsession with celebrities (not to mention celebrities’ obsession with themselves), and the cinematic state of the union.

    Through its decade-long run, the show maintained an uncanny connection to its audience, who saw it both as a reflection of their own lives and an aspirational escape from reality.

Journalist and pop culture expert Kelsey Miller relives the show’s most powerful moments, sheds light on its sometimes dated and problematic elements and examines the worldwide trends that Friends catalyzed, from contemporary coffee culture to the wildly popular ’90s haircut The Rachel. I’ll Be There for You is not only for fans of the series, but for anyone who’s ever wondered what it is about this show—and television comedy—that resonates so powerfully.
