DOWNLOAD EBOOK →As the stage was set for World War II, in the late 1930s, elements were also falling into place for the birth of one of the most unique and spectacular entertainment mediums of all time, the Great American Touring Ice Shows. In that pre-television age, elegant entertainment extravaganzas had never been so accessible to so many people. The shows brought superb skaters, breath-taking costumes, elaborate sets, live orchestras, and a wide variety of entertaining acts to cities across the nation. The shows came to your own hometown-or within driving distance-with an entertainment package for every member of the family. They enjoyed their heyday in the late 1930s and throughout the 1940s and served as a brief respite and valuable morale booster for a country totally immersed in global war. During his years as a star performer with Ice Capades, Ice Cycles and Holiday on Ice, author, James (Jimmy) Lawrence, was privileged to know most of the people associated with the birth of the major touring ice shows. The need to preserve long cherished memories of those phenomenal shows and to record their part in the history of popular entertainment in America inspired him to publish "Memories of The Great American Ice Shows." The book describes day-to-day activities on tour, provides a glimpse behind the curtain, and introduces a cast of unique and colorful characters who created or participated in the success of the great shows. Memories of The Great American Ice Shows is a funny, touching one-of-a-kind memoir about an American phenomena that blossomed, flourished and then passed into history never to be seen again.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Carney Light has no idea that Corey Foster is married—or that he’s using her to smuggle illegal methamphetamines. Jimmy Hurd's latest novel brings back the cast of characters from his racy first novel, Turnaround, in this fast-paced story of drug-smuggling, running from the law, and murder. Jerzy Rabideaux, Carney Light, Charlie Puckett, and Robinson Giles return in Jimmy Hurd's novel of suspense that covers ground from Georgia to Texas, with spine-tingling stops in Alabama along the way. Ice Dancer takes readers on a wild race to prove Carney Light's innocence in a drug charge conviction. When Carney begins to tell detectives about her current love interest, Corey Foster, they discover that Corey isn't who he seems. In fact, his real name is Nathan, and he runs a lucrative internet drug trade using innocent people like Carney to distribute methamphetamines. Will Carney be able to escape the sinister world in which she's entangled? Or will it be too late to mend her wild ways? Filled with secrets, lies, attempted murders, and revenge, Ice Dancer brings new meaning to the phrase "fast-paced." With an ending that will leave readers—and some characters— breathless, Ice Dancer is an impressive addition to Jimmy Hurd's gripping novels.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Covering their lives from childhood to the end of the Georgia governorship, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is one of the few major biographies of an American president that pays significant attention to the First Lady. So deeply were their lives and aspirations intertwined, a close friend once remarked: "You can't really understand Jimmy Carter unless you know Rosalynn." The story of one is the story of the other. To recount their remarkable lives, E. Stanly Godbold, Jr. draws on academic and military records, the governor's correspondence, the recollections of the Carters themselves, as well as original, unpublished interviews with a wide variety of participants in the Carters' political and personal lives. The book reveals a man who was far more complex than the peanut farmer of popular myth, a man who cited both Reinhold Niebuhr and Bob Dylan as early influences on his legal philosophy, was heir to a sizable fortune, and who, with the help of Rosalynn, built a lucrative agribusiness. Nicknamed "Hotshot" by his father, Carter was the first president born in a hospital, rode a motorcycle before entering politics, counted Tolstoy, Dylan Thomas, William Faulkner, and James Agee among his favorite authors, and claimed his wife Rosalynn as the most influential person in his life. Volume I in this two-volume biography details how the Carters rose to power, managed their private and public lives, governed Georgia, and seized control of the national Democratic party. The cast of colorful characters includes "Miss Allie" Smith, "Mr. Earl" and "Miss Lillian," brother Billy, Rachel Clark, Admiral Rickover, George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Richard Nixon, daughter Amy, Charles Kirbo, Hamilton Jordan, Jody Powell, and many more. It is a sweeping, Faulknerian tale of individuals who would change the image of the South in the national mind and the role of the South in the presidency. Indeed, Carter shocked the state of Georgia and the entire country by calling for an end to racial discrimination in 1971, thus launching his national political career. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter neither sanctifies nor vilifies the Carters but offers instead an even-handed, brilliantly researched, and utterly absorbing account of two ordinary people whose lives together took them to the heights of power and public service in America.
