A Thousand Pieces, questions we ask in the mystery of our daily lives as we try to hold it all together like James and Kelly, a married couple dealing with the tribulations of a separation. Once they think everything in their lives has already been turned on its head, all of their problems become petty and trivial when faced with a crisis. They are forced to put their differences aside and come together for a common cause: their daughter. This touching story about love, loss, family, friends and coming together is uniquely as heart-warming as it is heart-breaking. A deeply emotionally debut novel from award-winning filmmaker, Ian J. Keeney, A Thousand Pieces is suspenseful from beginning to end.

A finalist for the PEN Center USA Award for Nonfiction Welcome to Paradise, Now Go to Hell, is surfer and former war reporter Chas Smith’s wild and unflinching look at the high-stakes world of surfing on Oahu’s North Shore—a riveting, often humorous, account of beauty, greed, danger, and crime. For two months every winter, when Pacific storms make landfall, swarms of mainlanders, Brazilians, Australians, and Europeans flock to Oahu’s paradisiacal North Shore in pursuit of some of the greatest waves on earth for surfing’s Triple Crown competition. Chas Smith reveals how this influx transforms a sleepy, laid-back strip of coast into a lawless, violent, drug-addled, and adrenaline-soaked mecca. Smith captures this exciting and dangerous place where locals, outsiders, the surf industry, and criminal elements clash in a fascinating look at class, race, power, money, and crime, set within one of the most beautiful places on earth. The result is a breathtaking blend of crime and adventure that captures the allure and wickedness of this idyllic golden world.
