Prince’s Memoir Reveals He Was NOT a Fan of Katy Perry or Ed Sheeran’s Music

Prince was never one to hide his distaste — especially in music. He was certainly no fan of the musical stylings of Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry, as revealed in a new book and reported on by Trace William Cowen from Complex… Support our news coverage by subscribing to our Kindle Nation Daily Digest. Joining is free right now!

“We need to tell them that they keep trying to ram Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran down our throats and we don’t like it no matter how many times they play it,” Prince is revealed to have written in a new book titled The Beautiful Ones, which marked a collaboration between the Purple One and the Paris Review’s Dan Piepenbring.

Speaking with the Guardian about the experience of working with Prince on the book, which kicked off with a letter in 2016 that was followed “less than a day later” by an invitation to Piepenbring to meet Prince at Paisley Park, the writer recalled the deep-rooted effect Prince’s death had on him as both a fan and a documentarian of the artist’s career.

“I’ve had dreams about Prince, where he’s still alive and his death was just a widely misreported thing,” Piepenbring said. “I’m still reluctant to handle those memories. They’re almost like something in a vitrine: the more you look, the more you get hot breath and fingerprints on the glass.”

The Beautiful Ones is out now and also includes previously unreleased photos, scrapbook excerpts, lyric sheets, and more.

The Creation of Eve: A Gothic Horror Novel

by Leigh Anderson
4.6 stars – 23 reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

She isn’t sure which is worse—not knowing who she is, or learning the truth.

After waking up naked and alone but with no memory of her past, the girl called Ann would rather not know what happened to her. The horrific scars covering her body tell a tale of terror she is sure she would rather forget forever. But to the doctors and benefactors overseeing her care, the possibly sordid details of her past are too enticing to ignore. She is forced to undergo a hypnosis session to unlock the secrets of her past.

But once that door is open, it is impossible to close.

The memories Ann recall are scant except for one—her name is Eve. And the man who inflicted the damage upon her body gave her that name. One at a time, the doors of Eve’s mind open, and she cannot help but walk through them, revealing horror after horror until she is no longer sure who the real monster is.

Fans of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and Margret Atwood’s Alias Grace are sure to love this blend of Gothic and horror from the pen of Leigh Anderson.

Here’s the set-up:
“Imhotep” is the first book in a four-novel series about the ancient Egyptian architect.
Stumbling in the dark of an unfinished tomb beneath the sands of Saqqara, American tourist Tim Hope unknowingly passes through a time portal that leads to ancient Egypt — a time before the Sphinx, before the great pyramids of Giza, and long before the loss of his beloved Addy.
When he discovers that two other Americans preceded him through the time portal, Tim immerses himself in the ancient world to search for them. As he becomes more comfortable with the simpler, more immediate land, he finds himself irresistibly attracted to the delicate Meryt, a wbt-priestess for the god Re.
Learning that a seven-year famine has led to a plot to overthrow King Djoser, Tim discovers that his fate, the lives of the two Americans and the future of Egypt rest in the hands of the legendary Imhotep, master architect of the Step Pyramid, renowned physician and intimate adviser to King Djoser.
Downloaded by more than 100,000 readers, “Imhotep” is the first book in an acclaimed four-book series about the ancient Egyptian architect Imhotep. The second book in the series is “The Buried Pyramid.” The third book is “The Forest of Myrrh.” The fourth book is “The Field of Reeds.”

It was your typical sixteenth birthday… Until all spell broke loose!

Cool party? Check. Boy of my dreams? Check. First kiss? Not so fast.

Because that’s when I discovered I was a witch. And not a very good one.

Just ask Peter, the ghost I can now see haunting my bedroom, or the zombies I accidentally raised from their graves.

And then there’s Fletch.

Gorgeous

Broody

Werewolf!

And he wants me to lift his curse.

Am I ready for this? No.

Do I hesitate? No.

Does it go well? Big fat No!

And now, instead of being at the party, I’m dancing naked on the town common with a coven of witches and my new familiar, in a race against time to put things right.

Maya is cursed. With a horoscope that promises a marriage of Death and Destruction, she has earned only the scorn and fear of her father’s kingdom.

Yet who, besides her husband, can she trust? With the fate of the human and Otherworldly realms hanging in the balance, Maya must unravel an ancient mystery that spans reincarnated lives to save those she loves the most. . .including herself.

Sera Morrison lost her parents and her husband in short order, leaving her a single mother running her family winery alone. Nothing could ever have prepared her for the discovery that she’s a destined dragon mate. But once she finds out, there’s only one man she wants—the one who walks away.

However, the Alliance Council has its own agenda. They want to use her as a political pawn and force a mating that could ultimately kill her to save the High King. Aidan has no choice but to kidnap her, even if it means their close proximity reinforces their own mating bond. And mating with him could end up being a far worse fate for Sera….

Here’s the set-up:

Magic. Sailing. A murderer among heroes.

Gravedigger Volke Savan wants nothing more than to be like his hero, the legendary magical swashbuckler, Gregory Ruma. First he needs to become an arcanist, someone capable of wielding magic, which requires bonding with a mythical creature. And he’ll take anything—a pegasus, a griffin, a ravenous hydra—maybe even a leviathan, like Ruma.

So when Volke stumbles across a knightmare, a creature made of shadow and terror, he has no reservations. But the knightmare knows a terrible secret: Ruma is a murderer out to spread corrupted magic throughout their island nation. He’s already killed a population of phoenixes and he intends to kill even more.

In order to protect his home, his adopted sister, and the girl he admires from afar, Volke will need to confront his hero, the Master Arcanist Gregory Ruma.

Knightmare Arcanist by Shami Stovall was rollicking good fun! Perfect for those who enjoy the Codex Alera series, the /Homas Wildus series and the Harry Potter series. Stovall is quickly becoming a name I look for.” – Seattle Book Review
“Volke carries readers into a darkly engrossing world with a passion that makes Knightmare Arcanist satisfyingly unique and hard to put down. Readers looking for a magic-based quest fantasy will find this story compelling and nicely written, with strong characters propelling action which is often unexpected and revealing.” – Midwest Book Review
