RJ’s a city boy with swamp water in his veins, a profound disappointment to his parents, and the banjo-wielding front man of the blues rock show band Dance Hall Pimps. RJ’s Americana solo project fuses moody dark troubadour, classic smoky jazz, blues, and rock—taking him back to the days of playing music in bad places and sometimes fighting his way out of there. His unconventional use of plectrum banjo caught the attention of Deering Banjo Company, which included him among Deering’s sponsored artists.In 2009, RJ launched his first band the Dance Hall Pimps, who were quickly approached by two record labels. In 2012, the Dance Hall Pimps released their debut LP, Beast for Love, on Lakeshore Records. RJ and the Dance Hall Pimps recently released their second LP The Dead Don’t Walk—which dropped November 5, 2013 (Growling Moon Records).John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) asked RJ to write the title track to his horror/comedy “SMOTHERED”.

AFTER 65 MILLION YEARS, THE WORLD’S GREATEST PREDATOR IS BACK. Not since the 1975 movie JAWS, starring Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, and Robert Shaw, have people been so afraid to go into the water as they have after reading Max Hawthorne’s new marine terror novel, Kronos Rising. In what can only be described as an adrenaline pumping roller coaster ride into pure terror, through the eyes of his intriguing cast of characters, Hawthorne introduces the reader to the deadliest predator the world has ever seen, “now freed, after 65 million years!” As NY Times Bestselling Author, Stan Pottinger, put it: “A word to the wise: if you bite your nails, you'd better wear oven mitts when reading Kronos Rising. It will drag you down to the depths of fear and take you back for a breath of air as fast as you can turn the pages. Readers beware: a new master of marine terror is in your bookstore, and his name is Max Hawthorne!” Max Hawthorne is a world record-holding angler whose writing has appeared in a multitude of outd

Silently Seizing is a breakthrough new book that explores what most doctors won’t tell you about autism that in some cases, the symptoms of autism are caused by seizures that are undetectable with standard diagnostic tools.The stealth relationship between autism and seizures has been hidden until very recently, and today, innovative clinicians and researchers acknowledge that in order to accurately diagnose autism, it is imperative to look for seizure activity in the brain. It is a sad fact that many children diagnosed with autism do not receive effective treatment because the seizure element is not addressed. The doctors who have generously shared their wisdom in this book all of whom are noted experts in their fields  have seen first-hand that children show measurable gains when treated early for seizures. Many such children actually end up “losing” their autism diagnosis, replacing it with a diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), which is easily manageable with the right medications. If an unrecognized

 Ray Francis' first book, Never Be Sick Again, helped thousands of people put their "incurable"  diseases into remission and enabled thousands more to shed excess weight, improve their  cholesterol profiles, and achieve peak immunity from disease. Now Francis brings his  revolutionary approach to anyone who wants to enjoy robust health and wellness and reverse  accelerated aging.As Francis explains, just like an automobile, the body ages as a result of  accumulated repair deficits, or a lack of maintenance. Fortunately, the human body is a self- repairing system, and in this latest book, Francis shows readers how to stay in good repair and  keep the aging process at bay. His revolutionary approach counters the one-size-fits-all approach  of most conventional anti-aging treatments on the market by targeting specific imbalances that  manifest through "aging" symptoms.
