J. EDGAR HOOVER and CLYDE TOLSON: Investigating the Sexual Secrets of America's Most Famous Men and Women

Blood Moon announces the release of publishing's most comprehensive overview of secrets associated with history's most dangerous and vindictive voyeur---J. Edgar Hoover.  The book's release was heralded on January 31, 2012 by gossip columnist CINDY ADAMS in the NEW YORK POST:

"EVERYONE'S DREDGING UP J. EDGAR HOOVER. Leonardo DiCaprio just immortalized him, and now comes Darwin Porter's paperback, J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson: Investigating the Sexual Secrets of America's Most Famous Men and Women.  Stuff on Brando, JFK, Einstein, Katharine Hepburn, etc. Marilyn Monroe's 'hysteria,' 'Boudoir Singer' Frank Sinatra plus 'all the gossip unfit to print' about all the Kennedys. The book shovels 'Hoover's darkest secrets dragged kicking and screaming from the closet.' President Harry Truman likened him to the Gestapo. President Lyndon Johnson said, 'He's got us by the cojones.' It's filth on every VIP who's safely dead, and some who are still above ground."

FRANK SINATRA, The Boudoir Singer, All the Gossip Unfit to Print from the Glory Days of Ol' Blue Eyes

SINATRA NOTORIOUS! Here's all the gossip previously unfit to print about the celebrities and politicos scandalously linked to history's most famous male entertainer. The "Stranger in the Night" international icon had it all--fame, untold riches, stunningly beautiful women, the world for a playground. "That's Life" was lived not in the sun, but in shadows. Pleasure became debauchery, mood swings turned violent, joy brought pain, triumphs tragedy. Within the pages of this book, one of the most controversial and elusive figures of the 20th century emerges as "The Man Behind the Myth."

In this extraordinary compilation of stories previously known to only a coterie of entertainment-industry insiders, co-author Darwin Porter, America's leading celebrity chronicler of Golden Age Hollywood, manages to turn over more than a few boulders in Sinatra's secret garden. After all, Sinatra lived in a pre-tabloid era when "inconvenient truths" were conveniently and systematically buried.  It answers many questions, all of them scandalous and some of them intensely political, which have puzzled the public for decades. FRANK SINATRA, The Boudoir Singer, reveals exactly what the Chairman of the Board meant when he sang that he did it "My Way." Thanks to the publication of this book, many of Ol' Blue Eyes' fans will never be able to look at their idol in quite the same way ever again. 

The Kennedys, All the Gossip Unfit to Print

The long-awaited scandal guide to America's horniest political tribe was officially released on August 23, and is already almost sold out of its first printing!  The publishing industry's most comprehensive overview of the vanities, gaffes, mendacities and indiscretions of seven key members of the Kennedy clan (including John-John), this book has already won its first literary award: an Honorable Mention from the Hollywood Book Festival. For videotaped previews of what readers should expect from this book, check out Blood Moon's most recent YOUTUBE.com videos, using search words "Blood Moon, Danforth Prince, and THE KENNEDYS."  A few of these tales you might have already known, but 'tis doubtful indeed that you'll have heard about all of them.
