When Mark’s previous book, AGENT IN PLACE, hit the Publishers Weekly bestseller list this past year, PW highlighted his first-week sales increases over the preceding years—an upward trajectory of double-digit percentage growth for each new Gray Man book since 2013’s DEAD EYE.
Each Gray Man book receives stellar reviews with Mark being praised for his “high-octane storytelling” (Washington Post), described as “among the top authors of espionage” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel) and “the best in the business” (Suspense Magazine). The series has continuously drawn comparisons to the giants of the field including Brad Thor, Daniel Silva, and, of course, Tom Clancy. Certainly the Clancy comparisons are no surprise: Mark co-wrote Clancy’s final three Jack Ryan thrillers before the venerable legend’s death and then carried the mantle for another four novels.
For years, Court Gentry was the CIA’s best covert asset. Then, without warning, the agency put him at the top of its kill list. Court fled the country and became an enigmatic killer for hire known as the Gray Man. However, after a tense reconciliation, of sorts, Court begrudgingly finds himself working for his former government overseers.

I hope you enjoy it!" says Roslyn "It has been a creative journey of love this time around. Collaborating with the multitalented producer/arranger extraordinaire, Stephan Oberhoff , my time in studio is inspiring me to take more chances vocally and arrangement wise."try being a little more out of the box". So far we have four completed masters ready to go as we are on our fifth work in progress. Luckily we have had the luxury of time to experiment with different ideas. I have never before worked this way and I must say it keeps the process exciting
As a teenager living in New York City, Roslyn recalled when Laura Nyro wrote and recorded "SAVE THE COUNTRY" during a period of great political unrest. She fet the lyric was even more relevant today as many people fight for freedom and justice.
While working on her version of "SAVE THE COUNTRY", Stephan played a chord, and at that moment the Stephen Stills song ,"FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH" also came into her head.. And it all fell into place.
Roslyn Kind breaks her own mold with this recording of "Save The Country," utilizing a wide variety of musical genres to express the urgency of the song in today's context. Beginning with a Delta Blues introduction with slide guitars, then taking it to the city streets of New York with swinging R&B shuffle beats and uptempo saxophone and violin solos, and ending up in a Gospel church with a large choir proclaiming the deeper meaning of "Save The Country", Roslyn is transforming this American classic into an urgent global call to action.

This first compilation, "Give Me You", reflected the music of her time...contemporary pop, which includes Lennon/McCartney's "Fool On The Hill", Neil Diamond's "A Modern Day Version Of Love" and Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill's "The Shape Of Things To Come".
Her follow up singles and second album, 'This Is Roslyn Kind" showcased her growth as a recording artist. Her CD "Come What May", described by The New York Times as "Splendid and Sizzling" further establishes her reputation as a virtuoso vocalist possessing impeccable phrasing, and a richness and clarity of tone and an undeniable emotional connection to her always first rate material.

From New York Times best-selling author James Geary comes WIT’S END: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It [W. W. Norton; November 13, 2018], a whimsical book that explores every facet of wittiness—from its role in innovation, to why puns demonstrate the essence of creativity. Geary is available for interviews starting Monday, February 4 through Friday, March 1, 2019.
Geary, the deputy curator at Harvard University’s Nieman Foundation for Journalism, is the author of four previous books, including New York Times bestseller The World in a Phrase.
Wit is much more than just having a knack for snappy comebacks. It is the quick, instinctive intelligence that allows us to think, say, or do the right thing at the right time in the right place.
Geary can discuss how wit is both visual and verbal, physical and intellectual. There’s the serendipitous wit of scientists, the crafty wit of inventors, the optical wit of artists, and the metaphysical wit of philosophers. Through neuroscience, psychology, folk tales, spirituality, visual art, and literary history, Geary demonstrates that wit and wisdom are really the same thing.

Fans can expect astonishing performances from the Timeless album as well as hits from the group’s vast catalog of songs, paired with their breathtaking production.
Tenor David Miller can discuss the Timeless album and let fans know what to expect from the elaborate production as well as what’s next for Il Divo.
