The first full account of legendary music producer Neil Bogart’s life and meteoric career Neil Bogart was the founder of Casablanca Records and made the top acts of all 70’s music’s defining genres: stadium rock with KISS, disco with Donna Summer & the Village People, and funk with George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic. Written by his close nephew, who draws extensively on family archives and anecdotes, the book will capture all the glitz and glamour of Bogart's disco empire. Bogart literally brought KISS with him out to LA where they had a long but contentious relationship. He had a perhaps too close relationship with Donna Summer, and turned both the Village People and Parliament into superstars. Bogart died of cancer in 1982, but his influence on music reverberates to this day. The man who would become a mega music mogul came from the projects of Brooklyn, New York and an abusive home. Bogart’s is a story of redemption, of making it big, and ultimately, of a dream come true. He succumbed in part to the excesses of his triumphs. This account, the first complete Bogart biography, is full of exclusive information and interviews about Neil’s life along with family archives and photos.

Inspired by the legendary expedition led by Lewis and Clark, award-winning author Brett Cogburn kicks off an epic adventure of danger and discovery in the uncharted reaches of the American West . . . THE JOURNEY WEST BEGINS After the Lousiana Purchase of 1803, President Thomas Jefferson commissioned Lewis and Clark to explore and map the newly acquired territory from the Missouri River to the Pacific coast. But they weren't the only explorers heading west. That same year, an ambitious young man named Leonidas Bone made a deal with St. Louis businessmen to join another group along the Platte River. It was a golden opportunity, except for one thing: Leo Bone was no explorer . . . Born to a wealthy Virginia family, Leo defied his powerful father, stole the old man's racehorses, and took his childhood friend--a slave named Pericles--along with him. Armed with a pistol and dagger, the pair were determined to make their fortune in the world. But nothing could have prepared them for the rugged journey west. Only with the help of a surly old frontiersman could they face Pawnee attacks, cutthroat trappers, and nature's wrath--without getting themselves killed . . . But Leo would not only survive. He would grow stronger with each challenge, bolder with every fight--and ultimately become a legend himself. He became known as The Far Seeker.
