The Four Days

By: Big Adam

Tater, I have something to tell you... Thus begins The Four Days, the sequel to Big Adam's previous novel My Friend Tater and chronicles the personal holocaustic suffering he endured in the days following the death of the man he called 'Dad', his grandfather. Adam has just returned to Faulkner University in Alabama following the funeral for his grandfather back home in North Carolina. Soon after his family drops him off, Adam descends into a perilous nightmare filled with pain, grief, and torture. His vivid and heartfelt memories of Grandpa clash with the misery of waking up each day for the rest of his life knowing Grandpa is gone. His friend Tater comes to his side and through Adam's tears of loss and grief, he sees that something else happened to Adam while he was at home, something so cruel and vicious it drives Adam near the point of madness.

My Friend Manny

By: Big Adam

About the Author ?Big Adam? was born and raised in Cherokee, North Carolina, and attends Faulkner University in Montgomery, Alabama. He plans to graduate in May 2003 with a degree in Journalism. He loves to write, go bowling, take long walks alone late at night, read, go to church, cats, driving alone late at night, and is a huge fan of Godzilla, Garfield, and race car driver Jeff Gordon. He also serves as editor of the university newspaper. He started to write at the young age of four when he discovered the wonder of pens and pencils. His first stories were written and illustrated on plain white paper and stapled together. By age nine, he had written a story about a young boy who was the victim of sexual harassment from a babysitter. It was a concept way ahead of his own time and knowledge. His writings soon became more vivid and more chillingly realistic, possibly due to years of child abuse and being harassed at school by both teachers and peers. After one of his stories was discovered in his bedroom, its realism content sent his folks into a fury. They threatened him if he ever wrote something like that ever again, which was nothing more than the truth of what he was going through at the time. After that, he had to write and express himself in secret, when he was certain nobody would know that he was still cultivating his talent as a writer. He was finally removed from this abusive environment when he was 12. A trip to the beach in 1993 sparked his imagination like nothing else. The idea for one of his first novels was born, and it would take him another seven years to finish. That novel, The Writer, appeared in Spring 2001. He has also started several other novels and he vows tofinish all of them.

On the Eve of Dawn

By: Big Papa Shayne

On the Eve of Dawn is based upon Genesis 2:18-25 where a loving God creates the first of His holy institutions, marriage. This simple and youthful rendering of the account will establish in the hearts and minds of boys and girls everywhere Biblical principles, viz., that a sovreign God intended His society be founded upon the premise of family, each begun by one man with one woman, forever. And that He, as perfect God has ideas that are also perfect which as such, are never in need of doubt, change, or redefinition.

Big Freedia

God Save the Queen Diva!

By: Big Freedia,Nicole Balin

From the eponymous star of one of the most popular reality shows in Fuse’s history, this no-holds-barred memoir and “snappily dictated story of inverted cultural norms in the wards of New Orleans” (East Bay Express) reveals the fascinating truth about a gay, self-proclaimed mama’s boy who exploded onto the formerly underground Bounce music scene and found acceptance, healing, self-expression, and stardom. As the “undisputed ambassador” of the energetic, New Orleans-based Bounce movement, Big Freedia isn’t afraid to twerk, wiggle, and shake her way to self-confidence, and is encouraging her fans to do the same. In her engrossing memoir, Big Freedia tells the inside story of her path to fame, the peaks and valleys of her personal life, and the liberation that Bounce music brings to herself and every one of her fans who is searching for freedom. Big Freedia immediately pulls us into the relationship between her personal life and her career as an artist; being a “twerking sissy” is not just a job, she says, but a salvation. A place to find solace and escape from the battles she faced growing up in the worst neighborhood in New Orleans. To deal with losing loved ones to the violence on the streets, drug overdoses, and jail. To survive hurricane Katrina by living on her roof for two days with three adults and a child. To grapple with the difficulties and celebrate the joys of living. In this eye-opening memoir that bursts with energy, you’ll learn the history of the Bounce movement and meet all the colorful characters that pepper its music scene. “Whether detailing the highs or the lows, Freedia’s tales pop as much as the booty that made her famous” (Out Magazine).

Let's Get It On!

The Making of MMA and Its Ultimate Referee

By: "Big" John McCarthy

An intimate profile of the legendary mixed martial arts (MMA) referee, this first full-length autobiography of pop culture icon “Big” John McCarthy details every aspect of his life—from his strong-handed Los Angeles upbringing to his involvement in the naming of the sport, his role in its regulation, and MMA’s rise in stature. The narrative follows “Big” John through his 22-year career as a Los Angeles police officer, where he taught recruits arrest and control procedures as well as survival tactics, then his 15-year career as MMA’s premier official in the chain-linked cage. A fixture of the sport, “Big” John started refereeing at UFC 2 in 1994 when MMA was in its infancy and went on to officiate at every major UFC event but two until 2007. Following a one-year hiatus as a color commentator and on-camera analyst for MMA and boxing events, he returned to MMA refereeing in 2008. In his own words, "Big" John relates his insider’s perspective from the midst of many of the sport’s greatest moments—from Tito Ortiz–Ken Shamrock I at UFC 40 in 2002 to Randy Couture–Tim Sylvia at UFC 68 in March of 2007—along with his account of the birth of the sport in America, its evolution, and MMA’s ongoing struggles for acceptance.

Wyoming's Dinosaur Discoveries

By: The Big Horn Basin Foundation

Wyoming is home to some of the world's most famous dinosaurs. As early as 1872, dinosaurs were excavated, placed on railcars, and shipped east. For the past 140 years, paleontologists have scoured Wyoming to excavate tens of thousands of dinosaur bones, now displayed internationally. It was not until 1961 that a dinosaur from Wyoming was mounted and placed on display at the University of Wyoming's Geological Museum in Laramie.

The Fifteenth Round

The Fifteenth Round

By: Earl Scott Big E

The Fifteenth Round is written from a spiritual perspective to encourage the reader to develop a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. This title was chosen because most of these stories deal with perseverance. In the earlier days of boxing, bouts went an average of fifteen rounds. The final round usually decided the outcome of the bout. The Bible has a lot to say about determination. These stories have been shared throughout my lifetime while ministering to others. By popular demand, I have decided to put it into print. While some are written on the humorous side, prayerfully, you will accept the heavenly application that I am attempting to convey. It is my prayer that your heart will be blessed as well as your hearts and minds be opened in a world around us that has become somewhat blinded by the wonderful things that the Lord has bestowed upon us.

Let's Get It On!

The Making of MMA and Its Ultimate Referee

By: "Big" John

Combining elements of mystery, history, and romance, this compelling narrative explores the river frontier of West Virginia to the Midwest in the 1900s. Unconventional for her time, Sarah Perkins is driven to excel and be successful in a man’s world despite her traumatic childhood under an abusive father who strictly enforced traditional gender roles. Dreaming of one day being a riverboat pilot, Sara embarks on an adventure aboard the Spirit of the River, a premier paddleboat on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. She’s spent hours behind the wheel under the supervision of the captain, Jeremy Smith—her friendly rival and romantic interest—and longs to prove her worth. When a traveling troupe of entertainers, Le Théatre d’Illusion, discovers that a cast member has suspiciously disappeared while a mysterious and deadly illness afflicts the rest of the passengers, Sarah will find herself tested in unimaginable ways. Suspenseful and thrilling, this dynamic novel of hidden secrets offers an unflinching look at serious issues such as alcoholism, suicide, and gender, while maintaining a lively storyline full of adventure, independence, and life on the river wild.

Johnny Bad Ass

By: The Big Lefthook

This is a love story of a young Irish fighter's climb out of a blue collar neighborhood of Brooklyn into the double-dealing, high stakes world of Las Vegas during the 1960's. The road is full of potholes and death defying, hair-pin curves. At every fork, Johnny ("The Kid") takes the wrong turn that sends him into another whirlwind of suspenseful action. A conservative may label Johnny a stone-cold killer but the average reader will fall in love with him because of his deep sense of loyalty and code of honor. Johnny has an "old soul," an attitude from the Wild West but lives in the 1960's-a true recipe for trouble!

He's out there among murderers, thieves, and rapists...he might hurt one of them. For his seventh novel, Big Adam taps into the superhero genre and puts his own creation up against a malicious embodiment of genuine evil. J.C. Tillman has lived a quiet life with his family and few friends. One night, his simple existence is forever changed when he can no longer walk on his own and must use a cane. Into his changing world comes an old acquaintance from high school. The renewed friendship becomes a nightmare for J.C. as he falls prey to a sociopath who assaults him and his loved ones. With the aid of his family, friends, a doctor, two ex-girlfriends, a "scary scientist man," and the mysterious hand of God, J.C. undergoes a transformation and begins a lone journey to find the one who hurt him and his family.
