Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES and INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In Face the Music, Paul Stanley—the co-founder and famous “Starchild” frontman of KISS—reveals for the first time the incredible highs and equally incredible lows in his life both inside and outside the band. Face the Music is the shocking, funny, smart, inspirational story of one of rock’s most enduring icons and the group he helped create, define, and immortalize. Stanley mixes compelling personal revelations and gripping, gritty war stories that will surprise even the most steadfast member of the KISS Army. He takes us back to his childhood in the 1950s and ’60s, a traumatic time made more painful thanks to a physical deformity. Born with a condition called microtia, he grew up partially deaf, with only one ear. But this instilled in him an inner drive to succeed in the most unlikely of pursuits: music. With never-before-seen photos and images throughout, Stanley’s memoir is a fully realized and unflinching portrait of a rock star, a chronicle of the stories behind the famous anthems, the many brawls and betrayals, and all the drama and pyrotechnics on and off the stage. Raw and confessional, Stanley offers candid insights into his personal relationships, and the turbulent dynamics with his bandmates over the past four decades. And no one comes out unscathed—including Stanley himself. “People say I was brave to write such a revealing book, but I wrote it because I needed to personally reflect on my own life. I know everyone will see themselves somewhere in this book, and where my story might take them is why I’m sharing it.” —Paul Stanley

Book excerpt: What if the best thing to happen in your life came at the worst possible time? Elizabeth was running from the worst thing to ever happen in her crappy life of hard work and regrets, and in the scope of monumental mistakes – she’s just made the monster of them all. Daring to stop at a quaint little seaside town on the way to lose herself in a big city, Elizabeth unexpectedly saves a child from drowning. Since the death of his wife, James has thrown himself into work. Which is why he didn’t see Madeline fall off the pier and into the freezing water. James can’t leave a shivering stranger on the deserted beach in mid-winter weather and offers dry clothing and a hot shower. What he didn’t expect was the part of his soul that died with his wife to re-awaken, or for his daughter to blossom into the carefree child she always should have been. He’s attracted to Elizabeth, but for the sake of his daughter, Elizabeth can only be a forbidden temptation despite how much he wishes it to be different. Being broke and stranded in a luxury mansion wasn’t part of Elizabeth’s plan. She also didn’t expect her suspicious and distrustful heart to be seized by a shy little girl, or her aloof, sexy father. As Elizabeth is drawn into a world where she’s understood, safe and cared for, her past catches up with her. Can she fight for the life she only dared dreamed about – or risk losing it all. Singing for his Kiss explores family, friendship, bad choices, self-forgiveness and second-chance love.

Legendary founding KISS drummer Peter 'Catman' Criss has lived an incredible life in music, from the streets of Brooklyn to the social clubs of New York City to the ultimate heights of rock 'n' roll success and excess.KISS formed in 1973 and broke new ground with their elaborate makeup, live theatrics, and powerful sound. the band emerged as one of the most iconic hard rock acts in music history. Peter Criss, the Catman, was the heartbeat of the group. From an elevated perch on his pyrotechnic drum riser, he had a unique vantage point on the greatest rock show of all time, with the KISS Army looking back at him night after night.Peter Criscuola had come a long way from the homemade drum set he pounded on nonstop as a kid growing up in Brooklyn in the fifties. He endured lean years, street violence, and the rollercoaster music scene of the sixties, but he always knew he'd make it. Makeup to Breakup is Peter Criss's eye-opening journey from the pledge to his ma that he'd one day play Madison Square Garden to doing just that.
