What if the founder of the Rolling Stones didn’t drown—what if he was silenced?
In The Secret Murder of Brian Jones, author Richard Gilbride embarks on a chilling, evidence-driven investigation into one of rock’s darkest mysteries—the death of the Rolling Stones’ visionary founder. What began as a haunting dream led Gilbride into years of research, uncovering contradictions, cover-ups, and missing records that point to a single conclusion: Brian Jones didn’t die by misadventure—he was murdered.
Through detailed testimonies and forensic revelations, Gilbride reconstructs the night of July 2, 1969, when Jones’ body was found lifeless in his Cotchford Farm swimming pool. Eyewitness accounts—some silenced for decades—suggest a brutal struggle, a burning of evidence, and a carefully staged scene that erased the truth before dawn. From builders with violent motives, to insiders who looted his estate, to the manipulation of police reports and inquests, every chapter reveals a deeper conspiracy hidden beneath the myth of the “cursed rock star.”
“A masterful blend of meticulous research and gripping storytelling, Richard Gilbride’s The Secret Murder of Brian Jones exposes long-buried truths behind the rock legend’s death, making it a standout in the true crime genre”
–MainSpring Books
But beyond the scandal, Gilbride brings to light the brilliance of a man long overshadowed by the legends he helped create. Brian Jones was not only a founding Stone—he was a musical prodigy fluent in over twenty instruments, whose sound shaped an era. His story, told here with empathy and precision, becomes both a true-crime chronicle and a eulogy for genius undone by envy and betrayal.
Fans of rock history and true-crime revelations—from Helter Skelter to Who Killed Christopher Robin?—will find Gilbride’s account impossible to put down.
More than fifty years later, the truth finally surfaces—one revelation at a time.

From poverty to persecution, from faith to fire—this is a life the IRS couldn’t audit.
In I IRS (My Hell of Life), James M. Moten delivers an unfiltered memoir of survival, racism, and spiritual endurance. Born in Crockett, Texas, and raised amid the cruel realities of segregation and poverty, Moten’s story begins where most would end—with tragedy. From the “Texas Inferno,” where systemic racism and violence took lives without justice, to the “House of Horrors” in Tucson, where hunger and hardship forged his resilience, every chapter reveals the making of a man shaped by pain but sustained by purpose.
Through the voice of lived experience, Moten recounts a life haunted by loss yet guided by angels—his unshakeable faith in God serving as his compass through every trial. His journey through La Reforma, a turbulent housing project he dubs the “Racial World War III,” exposes the raw reality of American division and the strength it takes to rise above it. Eventually, his path leads to the IRS—an unlikely battlefield where racism takes on institutional form, and perseverance becomes rebellion.
Moten’s life story mirrors the emotional gravity of works like The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Between the World and Me—but it stands apart in its candor. His words pierce with both pain and perseverance, turning his autobiography into a testament of divine protection and human grit.
"A raw and unflinching memoir of survival, resilience, and faith against unimaginable odds." - MainSpring Books
This is not just the story of an IRS agent—it’s the chronicle of a man who wrestled hell and lived to tell the truth.
A journey through suffering, faith, and redemption—I IRS (My Hell of Life) is proof that survival is its own kind of grace.

In Transient Anchors: From Refugee Tents to Research Towers, Libère Jensen Ndacayisaba recounts an extraordinary journey across continents, cultures, and crises. Forced to escape his home during the 1993 Burundian genocide, he grew up amid loss, displacement, and uncertainty.

Nothing came easy for Serene Night. Driven by revenge, she gained power and influence by turning gangs against each other and then taking them over. As a mafia boss herself, she's one step closer to defeating the Godfather, the man who created her. Will her desire for vengeance be appeased, or will she find something else worth fighting for?
Through sheer strength, extreme loyalty, and bare fists, Dean None exists only to obey orders and protect his master. Having no ambitions and desires of his own, he's the Dog. Will he find a purpose in life other than serving his master?
Excerpt:
The sound of a door opening immediately put Dean on high alert, ready to attack if necessary.
“Easy now. You don’t want to hurt your new master.”
Serene came closer and placed a glass of water on the nightstand. She stood there, watching his coiled muscles relaxing before she took a seat on a chair.
“Gacy Crowder is no longer your master. My name is Serene Night. You will call me Boss. Do you feel better?”
“Yes, Boss.”
“Then get out of bed and let me have a look at my new possession.”
Dean obeyed and stood up in front of her, wearing nothing more than the bandages on his torso.
Her eyes scrolled over every ridge of his muscles while he stared at the wall above her head.
Review:
Helen Bold’s Mafia Boss and Her Dog is a visceral plunge into the underworld of blood-soaked loyalty, power plays, and the twisted intimacy between predator and protector. This steamy dark romance doesn’t tiptoe around its genre—it dives headfirst into the grit, violence, and erotic tension that define mafia fiction, delivering a tale as brutal as it is seductive.
At its heart is Serene Night, a mafia boss forged in vengeance and tempered by ruthless ambition. She’s not just strong, she’s a force of nature cloaked in silk and steel. Her acquisition of Dean None, a fighter known for his unflinching obedience and terrifying efficiency, sets the stage for a relationship that blurs the lines between ownership and connection, dominance and desire.
Bold’s prose is cinematic and unapologetically sensual. The opening chapter, set in a bloodsport arena masquerading as fine dining, is a masterclass in tone-setting. The juxtaposition of gourmet indulgence with gladiatorial violence creates a decadent, dystopian atmosphere where human lives are currency and loyalty is bought with blood. Serene’s entrance—red gown, million-dollar suitcase, and ice-cold gaze—is pure femme fatale fantasy, but with a twist: she’s not here to seduce. She’s here to claim.
What sets this novel apart is its refusal to soften its edges. The violence is graphic, the sexuality intense, and the emotional stakes high. Serene’s quest for revenge against the Godfather who created her is more than a plot device; it’s a crucible through which her humanity is tested. Dean’s journey from tool to man is equally compelling, raising questions about agency, purpose, and the cost of devotion.
Mafia Boss and Her Dog is not for the faint of heart. It’s a dark, decadent ride through a world where loyalty is earned in blood. But for readers who crave morally complex characters, sizzling tension, and a heroine who doesn’t flinch, Helen Bold delivers a story that bites and doesn’t let go.
Exploring Consciousness Through Quantum Entanglement, Epigenetics, and Reincarnation
What makes you you — and can that essence persist through change, across time, or even across lifetimes?
In The Thread of Theseus, a bold and thought-provoking exploration of consciousness, identity, and transformation, the classic philosophical puzzle of the Ship of Theseus becomes the entry point to a rich synthesis of modern science and ancient wisdom.

The paradox of personal identity through the Ship of Theseus and Grandpa’s Axe
How epigenetics reveals that experience can alter biology — and shape the self across generations
The mysteries of quantum entanglement and what they suggest about connection beyond space and time
The possibility of reincarnation as a continuity of consciousness beyond the physical
A unifying theory of the Entangled Self, tying together ancient questions with modern discoveries
With engaging explanations, real-world examples, and imaginative hypotheticals, this book invites readers into a profound rethinking of what it means to be alive, aware, and connected.
