HAVE MERCY! Confessions of the Original Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal
Written by Wolfman Jack with Byron Laursen
“Chapters 7 and 8 of his book, which describe how he put himself on the air as Wolfman Jack in 1963, suggest a white-hot rock & roll epic that draws on elements of “The Buddy Holly Story,” “The Wild Bunch,” and “Barbarians at the Gate.”
Wolfman Jack has set himself a lofty goal; he vowed to tell it like it really is, an oft-quoted but seldom-realized credo of rock & roll. Happily, if amazingly, Wolfman Jack succeeded in getting it right, and just in time.”

ShowTime: Inside the Lakers’ Breakthrough Season
Written by Pat Riley with Byron Laursen
“Inspiring… It is refreshing to read a sports book in which the (male) players unabashedly reveal vulnerability and soul. A dramatic, engaging book that cogently explains the success of one of modern America’s great sports franchises. Riley comes off like a literary lion in GQ clothes.”
