"The writing of Paul Elam is a knuckle-sandwich lovingly delivered straight into the central nervous system; a satirical and provocative technical knock-out designed to make you stop, breathe and think.

"Men. Women. Relationships." is a frank and factual look directly into the heart of relationship problems between men and women, written for those who prize honesty above ...

Born in 1993 in Peoria, Arizona, Luke Holland taught himself to drum on tabletops long before he touched his first kit. By eighth grade he’d developed an uncanny sense of “feel,” playing with metronomic accuracy and a human pulse that set him apart from the start.
