Baptized 'Soul Sister Number One' by her producer and mentor James Brown, Kansas City funk siren Marva Whitney was on the cusp of stardom in the late 1960s. During that time she scored three US R&B hit singles, released two albums, picked up a Golden Mike Award and was voted second in Record World magazine's readers' poll for the Most Promising Female R&B Vocalist of 1969. She also made numerous appearances on US television but just as her star seemed to be in the ascendant, Whitney's career took a spectacular turn for the worse after personal problems forced her to quit the James Brown organization in early 1970. She then spent 35 years in the wilderness before successfully reviving her career in 2005. In her absorbing and sometimes shockingly frank memoir, God, The Devil & James Brown, Marva Whitney - who died in 2012 at the age of 68 - tells her story with an unflinching, tell-it-like-it-is directness. Her detailed account of life with James Brown is particularly disturbing but leavened with a laugh-out-loud humor that makes Marva Whitney's autobiography a compelling page-turner. "(An) eye-opening life-story. Whitney is an engaging raconteur ... she recalls her struggles and triumphs vividly, with humility and humour." Terry Staunton, Record Collector "Her tenure with 'The Godfather' is remarkably honest and forthright; sometimes unbelievable even. After reading this, and her candid remarks about her life - particularly the period spent with James Brown - I feel I know her like a friend... it's a cracking read!" Sharon Davis, SoulMusic.com

Lisa Collier has always known the military was right for her, but she never counted on the trials and tribulations that accompany her new life. But under her uniform representing pride and heroism, she is conflicted. Unfortunately, Lisa soon realizes that her extensive military training has not prepared her for the battles of abandonment, neglect, infidelity, and abuse she suffers in her personal life. Lisas best friend, Monique Grant, is not known for playing games, especially when it comes to her freedom and her heart. She enters the military as a strong-willed woman who lets nothing stand in her way, but almost immediately discovers she must learn to slow down or lose everything she holds close to her heart. Memoirs of a Military Diva shares the poignant tale of two women as they journey to discover the true meaning of inner strength, to stand firm in their identities, and, most importantly, to embrace the bonds of sisterhood; relying on that, they have the ability to overcome anything.

The global icon, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, actress, mother, daughter, sister, storyteller and artist finally tells the unfiltered story of her life in The Meaning of Mariah Carey. It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments – the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams – that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side. Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit. Love, Mariah

Born in 1948 into a family of ministers in Kingston, Jamaica, the statuesque and strikingly beautiful Grace Jones lived with her family in Syracuse, NY, before launching a career as a model in New York City. Gaining fame as the cover girl for such publications as Vogue and Elle, Jones's flamboyant look proved to be a hit on the New York City nightclub circuit and she became a darling of the disco scene, which led to a recording contract and a substantial following among gay men. With her sexually charged, outrageous live shows, Grace soon earned the title of 'Queen of the Gay Discos'. When she moved to Paris in 1970, the French fashion scene embraced her unusual, androgynous looks and, in addition to cover work, she dominated the runways of designers like Yves St. Laurent and befriended the likes of Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld. While there, she shared an apartment with Jerry Hall and Jessica Lange and became artist Jean-Paul Goude's muse - he also fathered her son Paulo. (Grace was married twice - to a producer and a bodyguard - and she dated Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren for four years.) But with the dawn of the '80s came a massive anti-disco movement across the U.S., leading to Grace Jones focusing on more new wave and experimental-based work, putting her 2½ octave voice to good use. She is as known for her unique look as she is for her music and has influenced the likes of Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Annie Lennox. In the book, Grace takes us on a journey from her religious upbringing in Jamaica to her heyday in Paris and New York in the 70s and 80s, all the way to present-day London, where she is working on a new album.

From the headline-making, New York Times bestselling author of I Hate Everyone...Starting With Me comes another intimate glimpse into the delightfully hilarious mind of Joan Rivers. When her daughter Melissa gives her a diary for Christmas, at first Joan is horrified—who the hell does Melissa think she is? That fat pig, Bridget Jones? But as Joan, being both beautiful and introspective, begins to record her day-to-day musings, she realizes she has a lot to say. About everything. And everyone, God help them. The result? A no-holds-barred, delightfully vicious and always hilarious look at the everyday life of the ultimate diva. Follow Joan on a family vacation in Mexico and on trips between New York and Los Angeles where she mingles with the stars, never missing a beat as she delivers blistering critiques on current events, and excoriating insights about life, pop culture, and celebrities (from A to D list), all in her relentlessly funny signature style. This is the Diary of a Mad Diva. Forget about Anais Nin, Anne Frank, and Sylvia Plath. For the first time in a century, a diary by someone that’s actually worth reading.
