Book Description
Eva McLelland was good at keeping secrets, and she had a big one. Sworn to secrecy for thirty-one years until the death of her husband, Eva was at last able to come forward and share a story that turns twentieth century history on its head and fills in puzzling blanks in the mysterious life of the tycoon Howard Hughes.
How could Hughes appear to witnesses as an emaciated, long finger-nailed, mental incompetent, yet fly a jet aircraft four months later? How could a doctor describe him as looking like a "prisoner of war," when at the same time investment bankers, politicians, and diplomats who met him said he was articulate and well-groomed? The answer is a perfect example of the brilliance of the elusive billionaire. He simply found a mentally incompetent man to impersonate him, drawing the attention of the Internal Revenue Service and an army of lawyers who pursued him, while he conducted his business in peace from Panama with his new wife, Eva McLelland. Sound fantastic? It is. However, after seven years of research and verification, Eva's story produces the final pieces in the mysterious puzzle that was Howard Hughes.
Douglas Wellman has been a television producer and director in Hollywood since 1980. He is currently Assistant Dean of the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Deborah.

Book Description
Feeling a little nerdy? Then you’re in the right place. Nerdy Thirty is a collection of thirteen humorous essays that recount personal experiences from one woman’s childhood, her painfully awkward teen years, college and those leading up to the big three-oh (no!).
After turning thirty and looking back at her life, Wendy Townley found herself in countless awkward and cringe-worthy situations, many of which she’s able to laugh about now: camping for the first time; meeting pop-star Jessica Simpson; surviving a Nebraska rodeo; and being mistaken for a lesbian. The more she dissected these situations – oftentimes over one too many cocktails – she thankfully arrived at one conclusion: “I shall forever remain a nerd.”
Born and bred in the urban donut hole of Omaha, Nebraska, Townley’s perspective is anything but cornfields and cows. She is just now learning to cook, does not do yard work, has an unhealthy preoccupation with paper and is often mistaken for a Hipster.

Book Description
"Facing the Blank Page" is a collection of essays and poems written by David Martin.
"David Martin has the rare gift of writing, which inspires readers to open their eyes and look closely at the world around them. Whatever subject he writes about, he convinces us that he has discovered what is most important in life and has never forgotten it. He epitomizes Plato's famous quotation from Socrates: 'The unexamined life is not worth the living.' At the heart of his essays is Martin's conviction that writing is essential to the well being of people of all ages. He has found joy and meaning in his own writing, and he is passionate in his desire to encourage others to realize what a precious gift writing can be. His essays model a graceful style, a strong voice, a facility with language, and a focus on what is truly significant in life." -Dr. Loren Logsdon, Emeritus Professor of English, Eureka College, Eureka, Illinois
