  • Is It Just Me?
    About the Author Hello. My publishers have asked me to write a biography of the author. So: Miranda Hart could have been a top model or Olympic athlete but at an early age decided to turn her back on these natural gifts and forge a career in comedy. She is one of the most beautiful actresses to ever grace the screen. George Clooney has cast her as his next leading lady. She is tipped to not only capture an Oscar but also his heart. She regularly dines with Obama, lunches with Wills and Kate, parties with Madonna, and plays golf with Kylie. Basically, she’s an international player. This book is her first, but probably the best book ever written. IS IT JUST ME? Miranda Hart www.hodder.co.uk First published in Great Britain in 2012 by Hodder & Stoughton An Hachette UK company Copyright © KingMaker Productions Ltd Illustrations © Annika Huett/Agent Molly & Co The right of Miranda Hart to be identified as the Author of the Work has been asserted by her in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

  • A Dish Best Served Cold by Stephen Knight
    A Dish Best Served Cold By Stephen Knight A Dish Best Served Cold About the Book Stephen Bishop has had to grow up from a young age. Throughout his life he finds it hard to socialise with those around him, finding himself at the wrong end of ridicule from others. His Mother often compares him with his dead brother, whom she misses. Battling with his sexuality at the age of 14, he gets outed by a family member and enters into a downward spiral of revenge on anyone that stands in his way, plotting sometimes intellectual premeditated attacks on his victims. One Detective is putting two and two together and realising there is a common denominator in the spate of crime committed by Stephen Bishop. Now all Detective Inspector Cooper has to do is catch him. The Ocean City of Plymouth, UK has never been the same. 2 A Dish Best Served Cold About the Author This is the first book from Stephen Knight who lives in Plymouth, UK and has done for most of his life. He is a professional musician and singer/songwriter, playing percussion from the age of ten and then keyboards and guitar. Dedicated to …. My Son Gareth, who has been through a lot in his young life and believes in me as much as I believe in him. 3 A Dish Best Served Cold Copyright © 2020 Stephen Knight All Rights Reserved 4 A Dish Best Served Cold Chapter 1 Life. Your life. Your world. Someone once described life as, ‘When you have heard the sound of horse’s hooves, but all you get are Zebras’.

  • ASCAP/BMI Comment
    Stuart Rosen Senior Vice President General Counsel November 20, 2015 Chief, Litigation III Section Antitrust Division U.S. Department of Justice 450 5th Street NW, Suite 4000 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Justice Department Review of the BMI and ASCAP Consent Decrees To the Chief of the Litigation III Section: BMI recently alerted its community of affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers to the profound impact 100% licensing would have on their careers, both creatively and financially, if it were to be mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. In a call to action, BMI provided a letter, one for songwriters and one for publishers, to which their signatures could be added. The response was overwhelming. BMI received nearly 13,000 signatures from writers, composers and publishers of all genres of music, at all levels in their careers. Some of the industry's most well- known songwriters added their names, including Stephen Stills, Cynthia Weil, Steve Cropper, Ester Dean, Dean Pitchford, Congressman John Hall, Trini Lopez, John Cafferty, Gunnar Nelson, Lori McKenna, Shannon Rubicam and Don Brewer, among many others. Enclosed you will find the letters, with signatures attached. On behalf of BMI, I strongly urge you to consider the voices of thousands of songwriters and copyright owners reflected here before making a decision that will adversely affect both the creators, and the ongoing creation of, one ofAmerica's most important cultural and economic resources. Vert truly yours, Stuart Rosen 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007-0030 (212) 220-3153 Fax: (212) 220-4482 E-Mail: [email protected] ® A Registered Trademark of Broadcast Music, Inc.
