Face It: A Memoir by Debbie Harry (Dey Street Books; Music Memoir on sale October 1, 2019): Face It: While I enjoyed Blondie’s Rapture back in the day I’m hoping this Debbie Harry memoir explains: “Sure shot cause the man from Mars stopped eating cars.” Ummm, sure? The 80s are wonderfully weird. #NewBookAlert for November 19, 2019.

Musician. Actor. Activist. Icon. And now, Author. Debbie Harry’s FACE IT upends the standard music memoir with grit, grime, and glory, recounted in intimate detail. #FaceIt #DebbieHarry #Blondie pic.twitter.com/ERAOee131Y

The Return of the Incredible Exploding Man by Dave Hutchinson (Solaris Books; Novel on sale September 3, 2019): “After the incident, Dolan finds himself changed…” So begins so many excellent sci-fi novels! Title is great too: The Return of the Incredible Exploding Man. Yo…I like all of those things! #NewBookAlert for November 20, 2019.

When journalist Alex Dolan is hired to write a book about the Sioux Crossing Supercollider, this is a dream job. Then something goes wrong. Very wrong.
