Oh man
now they’re really all here! This beautiful celebration of television history, Now They’re All by Cam Clarke, is available for pre-order with a limited number of holiday copies shipping just in time for Christmas. This book also serves as a family album from one of America’s most iconic entertainment families. The King Family has been performing together (and with solo careers) since the 1920s: vaudeville, radio, musical films of the 1940s, kitschy sci-fi from the 1950s, tours across the country, recordings in musical genres from jazz and big band to Broadway and pop—even cartoons and video games.

The title of this book comes from the only line “Grandma Pearl” ever had during their run on television; a gathering of all the members of the family arriving at Grandma’s home on their 1967 Thanksgiving special. This visual journey brings to life the moments that defined The King Family’s career on stage and off. Through rare behind-the-scenes photos, personal anecdotes, and journals reaching back to the early twentieth century, readers experience a glimpse of the family’s musical legacy.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their story, Now They’re All Here offers a nostalgic and heartfelt tribute to a family that defined the spirit of family entertainment for generations.

In our latest Bird is the Word, David Weill, author of All That Really Matters, delves into the process of writing both memoir and novels. In our interview, the author reveals how he grappled with writing both real and fictionalized accounts of his experience on the frontlines of transplant medicine, the impact jazz music has had on his writing process, and lists his top recommendations for where to eat if you ever find yourself in New Orleans, where parts of his new novel are set.

You can read the interview on rarebirdlit.com and buy a copy of the book either on our website or wherever good books are sold.

All That Really Matters by Dr. David Weill is out today!

This stunning debut novel tells the story of Joe Bosco, an arrogant, hard-charging transplant surgeon whose ambition knows no bounds. Dr. Bosco makes it to the top as a star in the transplant world but soon realises that the new world he inhabits is fraught with moral and ethical transgressions. It is not until his life spins out of control that Joe comes to terms with his own failings and finds his true purpose in life
in the most unlikely of places.

This book is a poignant and thought-provoking reminder of the human heart, written by someone who knows the subject better than most. Dr. David Weill is the former director of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease and Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center.
