Book Description
“Let me in, let me in,” the Songman pleaded. What did these words mean? Kidnapped and tortured, Mary Meyers had no idea. Her only thought was to escape from the lyrical miscreant and his fiendish henchman, Dobson. When the opportunity came, Mary slipped away and traveled back home. Yet her house was cold, deserted. Too exhausted to leave, she huddled in a corner and fell asleep. Read McClaine discovered Mary’s frozen body late at night, and his only thought was to rush her to Bridgeport Hospital. However, upon reviving in the warmth of Read’s truck, Mary blatantly refused medical attention. What choice did he have but to take her to his cabin? Now Mary was warm, well-fed. If she could spend a few months in Read’s home and grow stronger, enhance her strange power, she could face the Songman again. Was there another reason she didn’t want to leave? Was she falling in love with Read McClaine, a man who detested marriage? It was time. The Songman was calling to her, willing her to return. Was she strong enough to defeat him? If she failed, her newfound friends would die, including the man she loved, Read McClaine.

Elizabithia: The War Against Musical Tyranny and the Search for Lost Music Trees By: Denis Durham Elizabithia is a musical kingdom where seven varieties of trees known as Harmonic Timbers grow.

Following the information learned from the ancient scroll, the Trio search for the lost music trees in a land known as Cymatigonia.

Elvis and the Memphis Mafia

Publisher: Aurum
ISBN: 1845137590
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 962
Book Description
A monumental oral biography filled with raucous joy, aching loss and terrible poignancy, Elvis & the Memphis Mafia is the first book to capture the King – the man and the phenomenon – in his full complexity. Through revealing interviews with three of Elvis’s closest friends, who were also his protectors and rescuers, Nash achieves the first true mapping of Elvis’s psyche. Billy Smith – Elvis’s first cousin and the person he reputedly loved most after his own mother – Marty Lacker – best man at his wedding and foreman of the ‘Memphis Mafia’, the King’s handpicked group of gatekeepers and confidants – and Lamar Fike – the touring crew member who accompanied him into the Army – were with Elvis from his teens to his final days and provide unique access to the greatest of all rock and roll legends. The revelations cut through every aspect of Elvis’s life, from the childhood seeds of his drug dependency, through his fear for his mother’s life and his plan to change his identity, to his bizarre self-mutilation. No one who reads this symphonic blending of three proud, ribald, sad and ultimately wistful voices can fail to be profoundly moved.

Elvis The King
Author: Laurent Poret
Publisher: Laurent Poret
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Elvis Presley was born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, to Gladys Love Presley (born Smith) in the two-room house his father, Vernon Elvis Presley, built for the birth. Jesse Garon Presley, her identical twin brother, was delivered 35 minutes before him, stillborn. Presley became close to both his parents and formed a particularly close bond with his mother. The family attended an Assembly of God church, where he found his initial musical inspiration. On his mother’s side of the family, Presley’s ancestry was Scottish and Irish, with some French Normans. Gladys and the rest of the family apparently believed that her great-great-great-grandmother, Morning Dove White, was Cherokee; Elaine Dundy’s biography supports this idea, but at least one genealogical researcher has challenged it for several reasons. Vernon’s ancestors were of German or Scottish descent. Gladys was considered by relatives and friends to be the dominant member of the little family. Vernon moved from job to job with little ambition. The family often depended on help from neighbours and government food aid. In 1938, they lost their home after Vernon was convicted of altering a cheque issued by his landlord and employer at one point. He was imprisoned for eight months, while Gladys and Elvis moved in with relatives.
