Ultimately, he chose Air Studio

In midtown Manhattan, Mike Hammer, recovering from a near-fatal mix-up with the Mob, runs into drug dealers assaulting a young hospital messenger. He saves the kid, but the muggers are not so lucky. Hammer considers the rescue a one-off, but someone has different ideas, as indicated by a street-corner knife attack.With himself for a client, Hammer—and his beautiful, deadly partner Velda—take on the narcotics racket in New York just as the streets have dried up and rumors run rampant of a massive heroin shipment due any day. In a New York of flashy discotheques, swanky bachelor pads, and the occasional dark alley, Hammer deals with doctors and drug addicts, hippie chicks and hit men,meeting changing times with his timeless brand of violent vengeance. Originally begun and outlined by Spillane in the mid-sixties, and expertly completed by his longtime collaborator Max Allan Collins, The Big Bang is vintage Mike Hammer on acid . . . literally.

Born during the Great Depression, Mike Mahan was in many ways a very lucky boy. His parents, a barber and a beautician, owned their own shop and home, always providing ample food, clothing, and warmth. No Hill Too High for a Stepper is not, then, the usual story of economic or family struggle, but rather a celebration of life in Montevallo, Alabama, during the thirties, forties, and fifties. It paints excellent portraits of unusually supportive parents as well as of other family members and townspeople, creating a detailed sense of small-town life during this period. At the heart of this book is an absorbing depiction of an irrepressible child and adolescent who approached all of life with a great sense of wonder and who meant to live it to the fullest. Throughout the memoir, the reader comes to see the richness of this life and the pride with which Mahan remembers it.

Sometimes, you get a lucky seat. I did! That's how poet and kids singer Mike Mennard describes the making of The Left-sock Tree, a collection of imaginative poems and drawings for kids. Mike Mennard, an associate professor of English and communication at Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska, just happened to sit next to noted artist Jim McClelland, professor of art at Union College. The reason they sat together? It was the annual academic meetings before the 2010-2011 school year. And, as often happens, creative people get bored in such meetings. Jim McClelland pulled out a Sharpie and began drawing cartoons on the paper tablecloth. Animals and dragons and caricatures popped up everywhere. Mennard sat shocked. He, like most of McClelland's colleagues, had only seen his oil paintings and watercolors, his detailed birds and landscapes. As the tablecloth ran wild with nonsensical creatures, Mennard watched excitedly, holding his small backpack that held a lifetime's worth of kids poems. And thus was born The Left-sock Tree, Mennard and McClelland s first book together but not their last! The book is a collection of kids poems in the tradition of Edward Lear, Spike Milligan, and Shel Silverstein. This is my life's dream, since I was a little boy, says Mennard. I have always loved kids poetry because there are no limits to the absurd. The only limits are the confines of good, fun, singable, and nonsensical poetry. McClelland adds that, Mike Mennard sparks the creativity inside of me. Their first book together is something kids, parents, teachers, and grandparents will love. It's bursting with pirates, spaceships, and outrageous adventures. In short, it's full of childlike imagination and we all need more of that.
