"Funny, tender, edgy. I wanted the love story to go on forever."—Joan Johnston, bestselling author of No Longer a Stranger Written in the wonderfully honest, edgy, and hilarious voice she perfected in God-Shaped Hole, Tiffanie DeBartolo shines in a passionate new story of music, love, and sacrifice. Eliza Caelum, a young music journalist, is finally getting her footing in New York when she meets Paul Hudson, a talented songwriter and lead singer of the band Bananafish. They soon realize they share more than a reverence for rock music and plunge headlong into love. When Bananafish is signed by a big corporate label, and Paul is on his way to becoming a major rock star, Eliza's past forces her to make a heartbreaking decision that might be the key to Paul's sudden disappearance. A layered and emotional look into the world of music, this raw summer read will resonate with readers who loved Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Praise for Tiffanie DeBartolo's God-Shaped Hole: "From highs to heartbreak, DeBartolo conjures an affair to remember."—People "Honest, raw, and engaging."—Booklist "This generation's Love Story."—Kirkus Reviews

For two decades, Rockstar Games have been making games that interrogate and represent the idea of America, past and present. Commercially successful, fan-beloved, and a frequent source of media attention, Rockstar’s franchises are positioned as not only game-changing, ground-breaking interventions in the games industry, but also as critical, cultural histories on America and its excesses. But what does Rockstar’s version of American history look like, and how is it communicated through critically acclaimed titles like Red Dead Redemption (2010) and L.A. Noire (2011)? By combining analysis of Rockstar’s games and a range of official communications and promotional materials, this book offers critical discussion of Rockstar as a company, their video games, and ultimately, their attempts at creating new narratives about U.S. history and culture. It explores the ways in which Rockstar’s brand identity and their titles coalesce to create a new kind of video game history, how promotional materials work to claim the "authenticity" of these products, and assert the authority of game developers to perform the role of historian. By working at the intersection of historical game studies, U.S. history, and film and media studies, this book explores what happens when contemporary demands for historical authenticity are brought to bear on the way we envisage the past –– and whose past it is deemed to be. Ultimately, this book implores those who research historical video games to consider the oft-forgotten sources at the margins of these games as importance spaces where historical meaning is made and negotiated.

The Hart brothers have set the music world on fire since their debut album dropped. They’ve relished the rockstar lifestyle … and all the perks that come with it. But these four alpha brothers are more than just rockstars. The Hart brothers are bear shifters, and each one of them has a curvy mate fated just for them, if they can look beyond the limelight. Sweet Bear O’Mine: Jax Hart loves being a rockstar. Tiff Anderson is the furthest thing from a groupie. But when they meet, Jax knows instantly that she’s his fated mate. Can he convince her that he’s done with the rockstar lifestyle before his shifter past comes back to haunt them? Every Bear Has its Thorn: Emily St. Clair is a good girl, determined to prove to the world that there is more to her than her father’s name. Chase Hart is a bad boy, determined to avoid finding his fated mate. They can’t deny the chemistry between them, but can they survive when their worlds collide? Some Bear Out There: “Dreary Drew” Hart doesn’t mind that the press is less interested in him than his brothers. He’s got plenty to keep him busy: being a rockstar, being the presumptive ruler of his clan, and, when he meets music journalist Nina Marten, convincing his mate that she wants to share his life. When a Bear Loves a Woman: Grace Lopez is desperately trying to keep her little brother out of the clan wars tearing the shifter world apart. When a mysterious singer wanders into her life, she doesn’t recognize rockstar Bret Hart, but she does recognize a fellow shifter … whose family is at war with hers. Wild Harts: Rockstar Shifters tells the saga of the four sexy Hart brothers as they make their mark in the music world while fighting to defend their shifter family. These four brothers sometimes don’t see eye to eye, but they always have each other’s backs. And when they meet their fated mates, there’s nothing that can stop them from taking what’s theirs.
