Working Out Sucks! (And Why It Doesn't Have To)

The Only 21-Day Kick-Start Plan for Total Health and Fitness You'll Ever Need

By: Chuck Runyon

Tired of diet books that promise to change your life in five minutes? Tired of trying to get healthy and fit—and really getting nowhere? Chuck Runyon, Brian Zehetner, and Rebecca DeRossett are here to confirm what you already know: Working out sucks. The good news? With the new approaches in this book, that is about to change. Working Out Sucks! deprograms those of us who have long been brainwashed by unhealthy habits, destructive attitudes, and misinformation about health, and offers a no-nonsense way to get back on track. Because, while working out may suck, the alternatives—from heart disease to premature aging and shortened lifespan--are a lot worse. As he does in his 1,700 Anytime Fitness clubs (with more than one million members worldwide--and growing), Runyon emphasizes user-friendliness and utility in this get-real, get-healthy message, complete with Zehetner's 21-day kick-start plan and DeRossett's tips for mental health.

When Good Men Ride

A Novel of the West

By: Chuck Lewis

A new century is coming, but Arizona is not ready to enter the 1900s. Rampant lawlessness is preventing it from attaining statehood, and the local law cannot contend with the rustling and killing. Into this chaos comes a man dedicated to his badge and an honorable pursuit of justice. Events are soon to compromise his personal code, however, and he's drawn into a dark crusade of revenge and retribution. There are men who need killing, and it's time to take off the badge When Good Men Ride is a tale of vast proportions, running the gamut of action and emotions found in a cast of characters brought together by convoluted paths of fate. Enmeshed in the fabric of actual historic events, it is a story of mystery, romance, and violence told with classic style and insight into the fading Victorian values of its time and the people who were fading with them. We are presented with a rich assortment of men and women of depth and passion, friendship and love, hate and murder, and among them all is a kind and philosophical hero against one of the most brutal antagonists ever brought to the pages of western fiction.

Walleye

Where To... When To... What to Expect...

By: Chuck Stafford

THAT PARTICULAR PLAN This offbeat comedy exposes the eccentric behavior of Godfrey Chambers, wealthy manufacturing industrialist, Lydia, his wacky nymphomaniac wife, Evelyn, their estranged daughter who communicates with baboons, and the spurned butler, Carl. Godfrey and Carl place an ad in a London newspaper arranging to meet with Scott Sprinter, an American studying abroad who carried out a break in at the Chambers' home. Since the event had a profound effect on Lydia, Godfrey hopes that bribery will prompt Sprinter to assist him in committing his wife to an asylum. Throughout the play, the American, who wants the money but has no idea what is expected of him, finds himself trapped in a situation where the quirky characters around him struggle to make choices and decisions based on absurd judgment. DISCLOSURE AT BENTWELL MANOR The scene of this farce is Bentwell Manor, home of Lady Bentwell, son Bradley, and their staff. Horrified by the social implications of her son marrying the actress and perceived gold digger Clarice Changely, Lady Bentwell hires her former lover, the Inspector, to delve into Clarice's past. She must act quickly, not only to foil the engagement, but also to prevent anyone from learning the truth about her own past. Meanwhile, the reader is treated to the high jinks of the maid, Gertrude, who constantly runs off to be a punk rock groupie, and Bridget the cook, who has decided on a novel way to commit suicide in order to get back at Lady Bentwell for refusing her a decent reference, thereby thwarting her plans to leave Bentwell Manor for good.

Imperfect Union

A Father’s Search for His Son in the Aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg

By: Chuck Raasch

On the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, Union artillery lieutenant Bayard Wilkeson fell while bravely spurring his men to action. His father, Sam, a New York Times correspondent, was already on his way to Gettysburg when he learned of his son’s wounding but had to wait until the guns went silent before seeking out his son, who had died at the town’s poorhouse. Sitting next to his dead boy, Sam Wilkeson then wrote one of the greatest battlefield dispatches in American history. This vivid exploration of one of Gettysburg’s most famous stories--the story of a father and a son, the son’s courage under fire, and the father’s search for his son in the bloody aftermath of battle--reconstructs Bayard Wilkeson’s wounding and death, which have been shrouded in myth and legend, and sheds light on Civil War–era journalism, battlefield medicine, and the “good death.”

The Notorious Luke Short

Sporting Man of the Wild West

By: Jack DeMattos,Chuck Parsons

Often times the smaller the man, the harder the punch--this adage was true in the case of diminutive Luke Short, whose brief span of years played out in the Wild West. His adventures began as a teenage cowboy who followed the trail from Texas to the Kansas railheads. He then served as a scout for the U.S. Army during the Indian wars and, finally, he perfected his skills as a gambler in locations that included Leadville, Tombstone, Dodge City, and Fort Worth. In 1883, in what became known as the "Dodge City War," he banded together with Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and others to protect his ownership interests in the Long Branch Saloon--an event commemorated by the famous "Dodge City Peace Commission" photograph. The irony is that Luke Short is best remembered for being the winning gunfighter in two of the most celebrated showdowns in Old West history: the shootout with Charlie Storms in Tombstone, Arizona, and the showdown against Jim Courtright in Fort Worth, Texas. He would have hated that. During his lifetime, Luke Short became one of the best known sporting men in the United States, and one of the wealthiest. He had been a partner in the Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City, as well as the White Elephant in Fort Worth. He became friends with other wealthy sporting men, such as William H. Harris, Jake Johnson, and Bat Masterson, who helped broaden his gaming interests to include thoroughbred horse racing and boxing. Before he died he would become a familiar figure in Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, and Saratoga Springs, where he raced his string of horses. He traveled with other wealthy sporting men in private railroad cars to attend heavyweight championship fights. Luke Short was always a little man dealing in big games. He married the beautiful Hattie Buck, who could turns heads at all the top resorts they visited as man and wife. Jack DeMattos and Chuck Parsons have researched deeply into all records to produce the first serious biography of Luke Short, revealing in full the epitome of a sporting man of the Wild West.
