Check Out Rudy Yuly's New Book Sparkle Out from Hill Brace Publishers!

Sparkle by Rudy Yuly

“A kaleidoscope of a thriller that’s at once smart, funny, touching and relentlessly paced. Rudy Yuly’s debut novel Sparkle does what only a great thriller can do—it defies you to stop turning the pages.”

- Gregg Olsen
New York Times bestselling author of Victim Six
(www.greggolsen.com)

"Atchity Entertainment International (AEI) is proud to introduce you to Rudy Yuly, with his debut thriller Sparkle, simply one of the best books we've ever come across. It's reminiscent of Rain Man as well as of Of Mice and Men.

Eccentric, lonely brothers Eddie and Joe Jones's fragile world is built around Sparkle Cleaners, their Seattle janitorial service with a single purpose: crime scene cleanups. Joe despises the grisly jobs, but sticks it out for the sake of his damaged, nonverbal brother Eddie, who finds his only small measure of peace in his uncanny ability to clean up blood.

Not even Joe knows that in Eddie's inner world, he's not just wiping away gore. His real, hidden gift is sensing and freeing the trapped souls of victims of violence. When murder strikes much too close to home, the brothers' house-of-cards world explodes, uncovering dark secrets and spiraling into territory where failure threatens death—and success promises a better life than either dared imagine.

Sparkle is a mesmerizing page turner--funny, heart warming, insightful, with an impressive array of original characters for us to love. It's one of those books you don't want to end!"

Bakersfield Now.com Interviews Clint Hill

Kennedy Secret Service agent visits Bakersfield

By Jose Gaspar, Eyewitness News

http://www.bakersfieldnow.com/news/local


BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Sitting in a Bakersfield book store, former Secret Service agent Clint Hill said, "It's a date I will never forget."

Hill was assigned to protect President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. As the presidential motorcade made its way through downtown Dallas, shots rang out.

Hill was in that motorcade and immediately ran forward and jumped on the back of the president's car. But he got there too late, he said, as one of those shots hit the president in the head, killing him.

"I had a chance to intervene, but I was too late to do so," said the now-78-year-old Hill. "I feel a sense of responsibility in that regard and a sense of guilt."

Hill was in Bakersfield on Tuesday night as part of a promotional tour of the book "The Kennedy Detail" by Gerald Blaine and co-author Lisa McCubbin.

It tells the story of the Kennedy assassination from the perspective of the Secret Service agents who were there the day it happened.

New York Times Bestseller The Kennedy Detail Book Signing: AEI Clients Lisa McCubbin and Clint Hill At Russo's Books Tonight At 5:30 pm!

Former local newswoman to sign Kennedy book at Russo's

BY JEFF GOODMAN, Californian staff writer

"THE KENNEDY DETAIL"

What: Book signing with author Lisa McCubbin and former secret service agent Clint Hill

When: 5:30 p.m. Tuesday

Where: Russo's Books, 9000 Ming Ave.

Online: www.lisamccubbin.com

Lisa McCubbin, a journalist and author who got her start in Bakersfield, will be at Russo's Books Tuesday evening signing copies of her new book, "The Kennedy Detail."

Nov. 22, 1963 -- a monumentally tragic day in United States history, a deeply traumatic one for John F. Kennedy's Secret Service agents and the core of a new book by a former Bakersfield newswoman who was born just weeks later.

"It really was a great history lesson for me," said "The Kennedy Detail" co-author Lisa McCubbin, who will sign copies of the book Tuesday evening at Russo's Books.

"It's a rare window into history. Hearing first-hand accounts from Secret Service agents who were so close to the Kennedy family, I felt like I got to know the Kennedy family as well."

McCubbin, the former host of a KERN radio call-in talk show who also worked as a local television news reporter in the late 1990s, joined longtime family friend Gerald Blaine in documenting the impact that Kennedy's assassination had on his Secret Service agents.

Blaine was one of those agents.

"I was always fascinated by his years in the Secret Service, but I had never talked to him about it," McCubbin said.

Clint Hill, another former agent who witnessed the fateful events in Dallas, wrote the book's foreword. He will also be present at the book signing.

The project, McCubbin said, has facilitated a healing process for some of the agents who had kept quiet for more than four decades.

"These gentlemen are now in their late 70s," she said. "Unless they told their story now, the truth would be lost forever."

McCubbin has enjoyed meeting many current Secret Service agents as she travels the country in support of "The Kennedy Detail."

But McCubbin, who participated in a book club during her time in Kern County, said she's especially excited to visit the Ming Avenue store as part of her current tour.

"I had to add Bakersfield to the (list of) stops," McCubbin said. "I still have wonderful friends in Bakersfield who I've stayed in touch with.

"But never in a million years did I think that I'd be coming back to Bakersfield as an author."

620 WTMJ Newsradio Reviews The Kennedy Detail Documentary Special

Grown Men Cry

By Gene Mueller

http://www.620wtmj.com

Between holiday parties, diinners with friends, and a trip to Lambeau Sunday, I was able to squeeze out two hours to watch Discovery Channel's "The Kennedy Detail" over the weekend. I knew that the Secret Service agents who guarded President Kennedy and watched him die that day in Dallas were weighing in for the first time on what it was like to serve in the White House, share time with the First Family and, see their boss get murdered on their watch. I knew they'd say that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I'd already read about the agent who almost took out Lyndon Johnson some 13 hours later while the newly sworn-in President was taking an early morning stroll around his DC area home.

What I didn't expect, though, was to see these guys in such obvious pain, tears still coming to their eyes not just when they talked about the assassination but also about other painful moments including the death of the Kennedy's newborn son, Patrick, just months before the President's murder.

Even if you're not an assassination freak, "The Kennedy Detail" is a fascinating look back at what it was like being near the center of power during the Cold War and tje Cuban Missile Crisis. Agent Clint Hill's exchanges with Jacqueline Kennedy are incredible and to my knowledge had never been revealed anywhere.

It was Hill that would climb onto the back of the President's car as the final shot rang out, a bullet that killed Kennedy and changed history. Hill's description of the futile ride to the hospital is riviting, graphic and incredibly sad. So is his tale about his life after the assassination, one that saw him almost drink himself to death as he wrapped himself in guilt and self-indugence.

It's also sad to hear these men--witnesses to history--talk about their annual reunions and the realization that each one could be their last together as age and illness take their inevtiable toll. Kennedy's death was a subject they didn't bring up in previous meetings, and it was only recently that some of them returned to the scene of the crime to make peace with what happened.

They say they wrote their book and did the documentary in part to set the record straight, to put an end to what they call the conspiracy industry--those who take issue with the Warren Commission's finding that Oswald acted alone. Each agent says the shots came from one spot--Oswald's perch--and that he acted alone. They also dismiss as ridiculous some of the more outlandish theories that incriminate some of the agents themselves. Such claims are, indeed, outlandish. Not only do they give the real killer a pass, they blame innocent men who still feel the obvious pain and hurt that comes with reaizing that, for six terrible seconds, they weren't able to do their job.

It's not great holilday viewing, and it won't lift your mood, but "The Kennedy Detail" is something all should see, if nothing else to find out more about a fascinating job done by otherwise silent men at one of the more dramatic times in our country's history.
