A romantic comedy science fiction reality-questioning adventure musical in 37 acts. Rollie Moon expects nothing more than a full tank of gas when he pulls his Saturn into the Flying J truck stop. Instead, he ends up being conscripted to help the inhabitants of Orion's Belt thwart an invasion by Eridanusans. As much as he resents this uninvited interruption to his life, Rollie falls for Silvie, the alien woman assigned to work with him. Silvie likewise succumbs to Rollie's charms (as well as Earthling consumerism). With cultures literally light years apart and a mission to fulfill, Rollie and Silvie strive to keep their mutual attraction in check. They face a multitude of outside complications as well, including Alfie Omega, a Fornaxian (and thus an Eridanusan henchman) whose goal is to infiltrate the Belters' plans but whose personal interests center around karaoke. Meanwhile, Cash Cracken -- an Alliance hero bitter over being left out of George Lucas' documentaries -- serendipitously lands on Earth. His appearance is fortunate because he has the ability to aid Silvie and Rollie, but unfortunate insofar as Rollie considers him a rival for Silvie's affections. More importantly, Cash knows a secret about Silvie that changes everything. Alas, Rollie must decide whether to let Silvie go for the greater good of the galaxy or do everything within his power to keep her in his life. Of course, Earth itself faces great dangers -- everything from a nanovirus and accelerated decline in its magnetic field to an earlier-than-forecast collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. Ultimately, it's all about the music.

Bill DeMar (1931-2015) was an icon among ventriloquists. Known for his amazingly-lifelike manipulation of his puppets and his attention to the smallest of details, Bill was a crowd favorite no matter where he performed. And he performed everywhere. From banquets to revue shows to school shows to theaters to nightclubs, he lived the life of a show biz pro. He traveled internationally with the Ink Spots and the Harmonica Rascals. He was performing at Jack Ruby's Carousel Club when Kennedy was assassinated and was later interviewed by the Warren Commission. Bill lived an amazing life with a common thread throughout... his love of performing ventriloquism and his desire to help others learn it. This book is an expanded, updated edition of three other projects Bill and the author produced previously. "Ventriloquism... and Related Subjects" contains complete instructions on how to become a ventriloquist (speaking without moving the lips, developing character voices, etc.), plus professional advice on many related additional topics (sound, lighting, the breath, wardrobe, props, manipulation of puppets, the distant voice, introductions, soft puppets, overcoming stage fright, and much, much more). If you've ever thought you'd like to learn to be a ventriloquist, Bill's method is easy to learn and SURE-FIRE. If you know someone who is interested in learning the unique art of ventriloquism, this detailed book would be a wonderful gift. In addition to the "how-to" section, you'll read Bill's life story in his own words. You'll see Bill's "photo scrapbook," including many previously unpublished photos from Bill's lifetime career, starting with his days in the U.S. Army's Special Services Entertainment Unit. Also included are what Bill liked to call "nuggets..". bits of wisdom and advice from a long-time working pro. Features a Foreword by Jeff Dunham and an Introduction by Jimmy Nelson. This 130 page book with more than 100 photos is Bill's legacy to the ventriloquist community. Whether seasoned pro or brand new beginner, there's invaluable "must have" information here for everyone.

Ventriloquism, Performance, and Contemporary Art volume calls attention to the unexpected prevalence of ventriloqual motifs and strategies within contemporary art. Engaging with issues of voice, embodiment, power, and projection, the case studies assembled in this volume span a range of media from painting, sculpture, and photography to installation, performance, architecture, and video. Importantly, they both examine and enact ventriloqual practices, and do so as a means of interrogating and performatively bearing out contemporary conceptions of authorship, subjectivity, and performance. Put otherwise, the chapters in this book oscillate seamlessly between art history, theory, and criticism through both analytical and performative means. Across twelve essays on ventriloquism in contemporary art, the authors, who are curators, historians, and artists, shine light on this outdated practice, repositioning it as a conspicuous and meaningful trend within a range of artistic practices today. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, media studies, performance, museum/curatorial studies, and theater.
