THE UNEXPURGATED, TRUE STORY OF NEAL CASSADY & ANNE MURPHY
Tripping with a Viper author Anne Marie Maxwell (aka Anne Murphy, as she was known in the 1950s and 1960s) tells her autobiographical story of her adventures as a longtime lover and romantic, travel partner of Beat icon Neal Cassady “without fiction, facelifting or varnish, just as I’ve sometimes painfully and often gratefully recalled it,” says Maxwell. Her writing traverses many roads of America (and beyond) with this “unexpurgated, true story of Neal Cassady and Anne Murphy.” It journeys further past the facade of pop culture fascination and excitement galvanized by Beat Generation writers, artists and poets. Her first-person account enters a zone of struggle through the consequences and detriments accrued for a non-conformist life lived devoid of limitations. For the first time, Maxwell’s memoir is brought to the publishing world for a new generation of readers to explore. It is one of the most important accounts of the female perspective of the Beat Generation as a counterbalance to the otherwise overrepresented male-driven narrative. Anne Marie Maxwell is no longer just a spoke from Neal Cassady’s wheel of influence and inspiration. This first, fully published edition, gives her back her long-lost voice and is a testament to her intellectual, spiritual and sexual powers.
—Daniel Yaryan, publisher, Mystic Boxing Commission
To celebrate the release of Anne Marie Maxwell's new memoir Tripping with a Viper, Mystic Boxing Commission (MBC) author/editor/artist Lynn Rogers created this new video featuring the new folk song Queen of the Beats. The song honors Anne Marie, whom we feel wears the moniker well. The lyrics were written by Lynn Rogers, M.A., the music was written by Tim Mauro, and the song was performed by both collaborators. --Daniel Yaryan, MBC publisher

It is April, 1862. The place is not far from Tucson Arizona, near a natural landmark called Picacho Peak. Two soldiers have just fought in a skirmish at the base of the peak and are now stranded in the desert, in what was the western-most theatre of the Civil War. One soldier, Corporal Israel Terry, has been wounded and lies hidden from his men, and wakes up suffering amnesia, not knowing who he is or how he got there.
The other soldier, Private Moses Jennings, is a young confederate from Texas who was taken prisoner by the Federal troops but paroled and released to the custody of the desert. He must trek across the expanse of the Sonoran Desert alone to reach his home in Texas.
The two soldiers meet, and as Terry gradually regains his identity, they must learn to cooperate in order to survive the dangers of the desert, Apaches, and their own histories and beliefs. The War Between is a western, an historical drama, a story of survival, but most importantly, a timeless parable about what makes us Americans and the continuing struggle to stay united as one people. Based on the screenplay of the movie of the same name.

Sorcerers: Through Dimensions Infinite is a collection of poetry and artwork by Yaryan & Fitz – delving into uncharted imaginative territory. "The messages in this book are complimented by luminous renderings by graphic artist Mat Fitzsimmons. In so many variations of exotic combinations of color illustrations, Fitz enhances verification of every speculative and mysterious mood swing so resplendent in Yaryan's most vaporous emotional literary hallucinations," says American poet Michael C Ford.

Jerry Kamstra's new classic is a tale of marijuana and marijuana smuggling but it is also about Mexico itself. What started out as a simple photographic expedition turned into a major smuggling operation involving a ton of marijuana and the hair-raising means used to bring the weed into the States. This absorbing story reads like an adventure novel -- but it's all true. Peer Amid Press and Mystic Boxing Commission bring you this special 45th Anniversary Edition with over six dozen photographs and never before seen illustrations by artist Fitz (AKA Mat Fitzsimmons).
