ABOUT THIS BOOK:

On the already congested 36th Avenue, May was in full swing. Paul usually would check the temperature before leaving but he saw the sun in full rays and decided it was warm enough. He had no money for his usual stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts for his large black-and-everything bagel with cream cheese. The sun was gentle and bright, and he wished that he were not so hungover while everything was so clear and beautiful past a long winter, the empty dreariness of March, and the rains of April. The weather had played a bigger role in Paul’s life in the past year and he generally concerned himself with it almost every day. ~ ScW Author

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

One from the Ice is a collection of short stories by celebrated author Sean Welsh that will take you on a roller coaster ride through life's seedy jungle of bar-bouncing characters on their way to rock and roll stardom. If you like living on the edge, then you will enjoy the ride.

Excerpt:

Further in, somewhere between Evil Woman and Jerry Maxx’s impromptu solo rendition of Psycho Killer, the conversations were heightened. The bottle of Absolut was empty, the Stoli Raspberry quickly became community property, and Texas Red was pondering his first blunt at which point I alerted him that we were dangerously low on beer and that he should get more before lighting up to ensure the quality of the trip. “How come I gotta go?” he asked with his chest cocked in defiance. “Because I’m buying,” I returned.

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

What makes an artist great? Struggle, determination, failure, or is it just raw talent? This question has been asked for centuries, and every art critic has a different answer. Follow the journey of notable American artist Allan Linder through three decades of artwork, as he hones his skill while overcoming life’s obstacles. This fourth-generation artist works within the precincts of paint on canvas, sculpture in many mediums, and drawing on paper. His work is exhibited and collected worldwide.

Linder's work ranges from abstract concepts to his most recent paintings that depict realistic scenes of New York City in various seasons. The subject matter ranges from moments of peaceful silence in a burgeoning and populated locale, to busy street scenes in the heart of Time Square. With more than 150 full-color photographs of his most important work, this book will surely be a compliment to any art history collection, and the topic of many conversations.
