Role of a Lifetime is the story of the crucial role Larry Farmer played on teams that won three NCAA titles for UCLA under Coach John Wooden. Farmer’s record at UCLA was 89–1, the greatest winning percentage in NCAA history. (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was 88–2.) Role of a Lifetime also details how Farmer, a self-taught player from the playgrounds of Denver, managed to secure a full scholarship, make the varsity team as a sophomore, and ultimately become the head basketball coach at UCLA at the age of 30—the first black head coach for any sport at UCLA. The book chronicles the reactions of black leaders to his role as the first black head coach, as well as the inside politics that led him to resign after three years as coach, just days after accepting a two-year extension. Farmer also shares new insights about UCLA athletic booster Sam Gilbert and his role in the team’s NCAA probation. Farmer’s insider perspective during UCLA basketball’s most fabled period, combined with his natural ability to relate entertaining and informative anecdotes about legendary figures such as John Wooden, Bill Walton, Jamaal Wilkes, Reggie Miller, and many other famous players and coaches from throughout the world of college basketball, makes Role of a Lifetime a must-have for all Bruin fans and fans of basketball everywhere!

It was a new age, one called the Age of Aquarius, with a restless, ideological generation full of a reverence for new worlds opening up to new ideas. When the Beatles introduced the mystique of India to pop culture, the Hippie Trail was established as hip adventurers traveled overland from Europe to Kathmandu and India. Hunter was not among these hipsters. Still bitter over the way he was treated as a Marine combat veteran home from the Vietnam War, he felt the allure of the open road in America and in Europe. While getting visas in Vienna, he came across a Polish girl, Ewa, whose Politburo father got her unequal privileges she gladly abused to join Hunter on the trek to India to check out the new-age ashrams. Shared experiences and hardships bonded them, but Cold War politics made falling in love the worst hardship of all.

Elon loved traveling the world. The complexity of being a Marine from Texas and of the sixties generation stirred a curiosity that led him to Taiwan, a small Chinese island. Life in a country that spoke a language he would never understand, one with an exotic history and culture, where he found himself broke and needing a job while surviving a near-death experience, fit the bill for his adventurous spirit. But nothing enticed him like meeting Brigitte, the Belgian model and agent, a survivor herself, who took him under her wing and successfully promoted his talents. Their experiences together seemed a destiny. "I will survive" was the life they took for granted.

Just off a divorce, Olivia moves back to her roots in Texas where she meets Max, a charming, muscular, educated, and competent man. And is enamored by him. Max, as it turns out, with his olive skin and Hispanic name, is an Arab. A disenchanted Arab that lost the seduction of the American dream after 911 as the hostility towards Arabs, in general, soured his prosperous and idealistic life since becoming an American citizen. "It is America's loss now that I am going back home," he told Olivia as they got to know one another. The more Olivia took to Max, the more she tried to talk herself out of it. She heard what often happened to women in the Middle East, and also how charming men in America turned into monsters once on their home turf. But Olivia took the plunge and went with Max, whose real name is Khalil, back to Lebanon, by way of the Persian Gulf. Max was indeed the Arab Knight in shining armor she had fallen for back in Texas. But between the new Arab nationalism and Max's Shia brand of Islam, they endured hardship after bigoted hardship against them in the Gulf states. The ultimate move to Max's homeland in southern Lebanon proved just as hazardous as the terrorist puppet of Iran, Hezbollah, now occupied his village and much of the rest of southern Lebanon. Both Olivia and Max were modern day survivors, however. They stood up to Hezbollah's mischievous adventures on the one hand, but befriended many of its members they lived among now. Then came the Arab Spring. And then came ISIS. Was this the end of times, Olivia often wondered? Ironically, it was Hezbollah that protected them, southern Lebanon, and the large Christian towns and villages in Lebanon from ISIS. Alliances reminiscent between America and the Soviets that fought Hitler in World War II, Hezbollah and the Christians stood fast against the Nazi like atrocities of Daesh, the Arab name for ISIS. Throughout their ordeals in this volatile region in this ultra-violent time, Olivia's strong rural Texas heritage and her strong Christian faith kept her focused and surviving. While Max was a proud Arab and faithful Muslim, he was modern and educated and wrestled with the excesses of his heritage. This novels goes into great detail to explain the complexities of the present day Middle East. And delves deeply into how Olivia and Max survive even as they stand up to the extremism of Hezbollah, and endure the modern day holocaust around them presented by the atrocious jihadist ways of ISIS and genocide. It took more than physical courage for them to survive. It took strong heritage and religious foundation in Olivia's Christian upbringing, and Max's strand of Islam to keep them sane and vital.

Between 1975 and 1978, Larry 'Pigface' Travers terrorised Camp Diamond Creek, killing more than a hundred horny, stoned teens, hacking them to death with his axe (the machete was already taken by some hockey guy over in New Jersey), and making a general nuisance of himself. Life couldn't have been better for a psycho slasher.But in '78, after being outwitted by that year's 'final girl', Pigface found himself trapped (and a little bit on fire). Presumed dead, Larry Travers disappeared, but his legend lived on.It's 2014. Now living in the woods with his overbearing - and slightly antique - mother, Larry's old enough to play bingo and enjoy jigsaw puzzles without feeling guilty. But the urge to kill has returned, and Larry thinks he still has what it takes to be a homicidal lunatic.Pigface is back. Trouble is, he's not as young as he used to be...
