This spirited, rhyming picture book describes
in riddle form the many types of nests animals
make from the tiny ruby-throated hummingbird to the imposing sea turtle. “There are
mammals and reptiles and insects who nest.
Birds, too, build unique nests that suit them
the best. Some nests provide shelter, and some are for show, but the best nests
are those in which young babies grow!”

The Joy of Pregnancy
Hello, My Name Is…
The Complete, Candid, and Reassuring Companion
for Parents-to-Be
A Guide to Naming Your Baby
Tori Kropp
This sweetly illustrated, easy-to-use book makes the process of choosing a
name fun! It provides more than 25,000 names with their origins, meanings, and variants, along with advice and entertaining anecdotes about naming, and curious collections of names from literature and history.
This is going to be THE next classic pregnancy guide! Friendly yet factual,
and more practical than medical, this comprehensive guide to pregnancy
and birth is intended as the only book parents-to-be will need as they wait
for the baby. With a chapter for each month and another for the postpartum period this book tells expectant parents what they want to know-how
the baby and the mother’s body are changing, how to prepare for the baby
as well as the birth-when they want to know it. The tone is reassuring,
nonjudgmental, and often humorous.

This book offers an intriguing and

relationship with their bikes. More
than 120 fabulous images, unpublished photos, movies stills and
paparazzi shots reveal the ongoing
story of a new way of living and
driving, of showing oneself to the
world: provocative and free.
From Michael Jackson’s recent death,
to James Dean’s passing 54 years ago...
this book wants to bring a tribute to
the 20th century icons that went too
soon. Whether they were talented
musicians, actors, politicians, authors
or athletes - they had two things in

The Kennedys
All the Gossip Unfit for Print
Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince
No other book in the history of publishing has
assembled in one volume 80 years of pansexual
scandals associated with the Kennedys-all in one
guilty pleasure of a sizzling book. Meticulously
researched, it showcases the indiscretions and extramarital romps of America’s most famous political clan. In addition to lesser
known and often shocking scandals about Jack (“Mr. President”), other
parts of this pioneering page-turner will be devoted to Bobby and Teddy,
with extra space reserved for founding father Joseph P. Kennedy when he
operated as a libidinous Hollywood mogul. Paparazzi cameras zoom in on
that uber-goddess of all things glam, Jackie, documenting her many love
affairs, which were matched only by “America’s Prince Charming,” her son,
John-John, a horny young man with a gleam in his eyes. The Kennedys is
illustrated with hundreds of candid photographs.

Darwin Porter
This is a pioneering and posthumous biography
of a charismatic icon of Tinseltown whose rule
over the hearts of American moviegoers lasted for
more than half a century. It’s loaded with neverbefore-published revelations that look behind the
innocent-looking baby blues that enthralled the movie-going public. He
became one of the most potent, desirable, and ambiguous sex symbols in
America, a former sailor from Shaker Heights, Ohio, who parlayed his
ambisexual charm and extraordinary good looks into one of the most successful careers in Hollywood. It’s all here, as recorded by celebrity chronicler
Darwin Porter--the dirt and the glory, the bad and the beautiful, the giddy
highs and the agonizing lows of a great American star.

Steve McQueen, King of Cool
Tales of a Lurid Life
Darwin Porter
The truth about Steve McQueen is spectacularly
different from the legend projected by his screen
persona and Hollywood’s media machine. Lurid
aspects of McQueen’s early life include a gothic
horror of a childhood and stints as both a porno
performer and “pay for play” hustler to both men
and women. Also revealed are sinister implications associated with his mysterious death. Years of research on the film industry’s coolest player bring
McQueen and his legacy brusquely back to Earth.

Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince
Out, outrageous, provocative, and proud, this comprehensive anthology and library resource reviews
500 of the best of Hollywood’s output of gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgendered, and “queer questioning” films, with a special emphasis on how gays
changed the movies we know and love. Conceived
as a working guide to what viewers should stock within their DVD queues,
it reviews everything from blockbusters to indie sleepers, with about a dozen
special features discussing the ironies, betrayals, subterfuge, and gossip of
who, what, and how it happened when the film world’s closet doors slowly
creaked open beginning in 1960.

The tempestuous, scandalous love affair of the 20th
century’s Romeo and Juliet was second in fame
and notoriety only to that of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and by many accounts, even more
corrupt. Even though the spotlight shone on this
famous pair throughout most of their tabloid-fueled careers, much of what
went on behind the velvet curtain remained hidden from view until the
publication of this ground-breaking biography. For the first time, the sexual
excesses and interpersonal anguish of this “impossibly famous” team of actors are exposed in graphic, sometimes wrenching detail.
That ongoing, barely under control drama known
as Marlon Brando--Hollywood’s ultimate bad boy,
megastar, and sexual outlaw--with a special focus
on his early rise to fame and his social and sexual
associations with the A-list legends of the 40s, 50s,
and 60s.

The Social and Sexual History of Michael
Jackson
Darwin Porter
Humphrey Bogart
Before he turned white, and still had a nose, before
scandalous kiddie sex charges and weird marriages,
before money woes and widely televised humiliations, Michael Jackson was the world’s most exciting show-biz legend. In this expose by celebrity
biographer Darwin Porter, Blood Moon presents the first-ever complete
saga of an incredible American life--the good times, the very bad times, the
desperate attempt to stay on top, and the international aftermath of “those
lawsuits” when everything, including Neverland, came crashing down. Even
his loudest detractors admit that they love his music. This candid bio takes
you behind closed doors to explore the star-studded, bizarre world of America’s most maligned superstar.
The Making of a Legend
Darwin Porter
Except for what’s within this book, very little is
known about how Humphrey Bogart clawed his
way from Broadway to Hollywood during the Jazz
Age and Prohibition. Based on dusty unpublished
memoirs, letters, diaries, and personal interviews,
this unapologetic expose lays Bogie’s life bare in a
style you’ve come to expect from Darwin Porter. Juicy details include what
Bogie never told Lauren Bacall--a legend in her own right--about the years
between his birth in 1899 till his fourth and final marriage in 1944.

Howard Hughes, 2nd Edition
A Life in the Closet
Hell’s Angel
Darwin Porter
Darwin Porter
This is the first post-mortem, unauthorized insight
into Merv Griffin, a failed singer and unsuccessful
actor who unexpectedly rewrote the rules of America’s broadcasting industry. He became the richest
man in TV, befriended everyone in media who
mattered, bought a casino, and maintained a secret
life as America’s most famously closeted homosexual. From a controversial
writer whose previous work has virtually re-defined the art of the celebrity
biography, HERE’S MERV.
From his reckless pursuit of love as a rich teenager
to his final days as a demented fossil, Howard
Hughes changed the worlds of aviation and entertainment forever. This biography reveals inside
details about his destructive and usually scandalous
associations with other Hollywood players. Set
amid descriptions of the unimaginable changes that affected America between 1905 and 1976, this critically acclaimed biography gives an insider’s
perspective about what money can buy--and what it can’t.
