Print: $13.95 Download: $7.00 What happens in 1939 when a phallus-shaped space ship lands in the middle of The World of Tomorrow at New York's Flushing Meadows? Shouldn't the answer come from any one of the hundred humans called to meet with the Aliens? But none of those hundred will talk. After just a few weeks the ship leaves, not to be seen again for a century. What happens in that century is the subject of "It Came Out of the Sky," the third, and final book in the satiric trilogy, "The Conspiracy Theory of History."

Print: $14.50 Download: $7.00 Is history really just one more form of amnesia? "Hobson's Choice" explores absent-minded history through a biography of a famous man that nobody knows. He’s a soldier, statesman, businessman and movie mogul. He has the respect of the world, yet no one knows quite what to make of him.
"Hobson's Choice" is the first book in the trilogy, "The Conspiracy Theory of History." It precedes "Pandora's Canary," which asks who runs things in this world, probing the hidden corners of an affluent Baltimore neighborhood to find out. The third book, "It Came Out of the Sky" wonders: does it really matter?
These three books put the "story" in "history." They combine into a twisted satire of who we are, and who we think we are. As rocker/DJ/novelist, Greg Kihn says: "Heyrman writes prose the way Tiger Woods swings a golf club, with effortless grace, yet full of power."

Print: $16.96 Download: $6.25 In 1954 Johnnie Frank Griffin witnessed the violent death of Attorney General-elect Albert Patterson, of Alabama. Six months later he told a grand jury what he knew. The next day he was stabbed. Though his wounds seemed slight, that night he died in a hospital built from the profits of crime. Nine years later, less than an hour after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Johnnie Frank’s son, Frank Griffin, saw Lee Harvey Oswald fleeing the scene of the murder of a Dallas police officer. Between these two events Frank grew up in one of the strangest decades in American history. His story touches that of one of the era’s best known governors, John Patterson of Alabama. It intersects with mob bosses and CIA operations. There’s even room for country music and barroom brawls. This story shows how Frank Griffin’s life was truly Touched By Fire.
