Messages From Michael

Cælum Press's first publication is the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Messages From Michael by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.

Twenty-five years ago, Yarbro and her friends began sharing messages from a group entity that called themselves "Michael". Michael's words were offered without alteration or interpretation for seekers, students, and skeptics alike. Pragmatic, insightful, and often witty, Michael insisted their work was simply to help questioners become more aware and better able to make their own decisions in life. Through this initial volume, Messages From Michael, and three more that followed, Michael spoke to thousands who found new understandings of themselves. Unfortunately imitators and frauds have since exploited the Michael teachings -- but even they admit that Messages From Michael was the first source of the teachings.

This new edition is expanded for the twenty-first century with new, never-published messages from Michael and a new introduction by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.

Howard Kaylan's
How Not To Be Me: A Success Story (or How To Raise A Show Biz Legend)
Original First Publication!

Howard Kaylan -- lead singer (the one with the beard) of the 60s super group The Turtles, composer, writer, radio personality, actor, screenwriter -- tells all! Well, part of it anyway. When your career encompasses being in the first rock and roll band to ever play at the White House (for Tricia Nixon's birthday) to being one of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention to singing background for the likes of John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, and The Ramones to composing for "The Care Bears" to penning a full-length feature film -- it's hard to contain between two covers. Kaylan reviews each epoch of his career and offers, with the incontrovertible clarity of hindsight, advice on what he SHOULD have done and what YOU should do to achieve semi-stardom. A rock 'n' rollicking cautionary tale from a versatile wit and still vital performer.
