Pro Marka A. Shawa, který vyrůstal v betonovém, městském prostředí Baltimoru v Marylandu, se pěstovala silnější vášeň pro to, čeho měl málo – divočinu a venkov. Toto prostředí v něm také podnítilo bujnou představivost a podmanivou kreativitu, a tak začal v raném věku vytvářet příběhy ve své mysli. Mark čerpá inspiraci z celoživotních dobrodružství, od svého dětství s kouzelnou klackem a dekou, které se staly jeho kouzelnými nástroji pro ovládání větru, až po svůj současný život ve Vancouveru B.C., kde se prochází nedalekými lesy a háji, podobnými těm, které jsou zobrazeny v jeho prvním románu. Jeho tvůrčí proces je hluboce zakořeněn v jeho osobních zážitcích a touze po spojení s přírodou, což čtenářům přináší jedinečný pohled na svět.

In 1953, Paramount was making a film with a new actress named Audrey Hepburn. Life magazine assigned one of its top young photographers, Mark Shaw, to shoot a feature, and he spent weeks with the star on and around the set. Shaw's extraordinary level of access resulted in an amazing array of photos and over 60 rolls of film that captured the budding ing�nue's charm and grace on set and in everyday life. The images chronicled Hepburn waking up at home, having her hair washed at the beauty parlor, reading, relaxing, studying the script, chatting with her costars and director Billy Wilder, and acting in one of her most famous roles. Through the handful of photographs published in Life for the Sabrina article have become iconic images of Hepburn, the majority of the negatives were misplaced and never published. Rediscovered 50 years later, these photographs offer a stunning visual biography of Hepburn's youth and rising star.

Why is Pulitzer-Prize-nominated investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen one of the most feared journalists in history?
Packed with shocking new evidence, Fighting for Justice exposes the cover-ups of the JFK assassination and the murders of Dorothy Kilgallen and Marilyn Monroe, while revealing for the first time the corrupt inner workings of the Warren Commission based on the firsthand “whistleblower” account of an actual Commission member never quoted before. Why did FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover have an obsession with revered journalist and media icon Dorothy Kilgallen for nearly twenty-five years? Who was the never-before-identified “whistleblower” within the Warren Commission who passed Jack Ruby’s testimony to Kilgallen before its release date?
