World on fire
World on Fire is the self-published sequel to Rick's novel, Magnificent Vibration. Only 1000 have been made, making this a first print edition.
World on Fire picks up where Magnificent Vibration left off: with the hapless Bobby Cotton and his beloved bride (and former nun), Alice, having unleashed a global pandemic that’s fast wiping out half the world’s population - and at God’s request. Bobby guides a very pregnant Alice and a motley crew of survivors to the Holy Land, darting through the hazards of a world that has fallen to pieces in a way more thorough than any we have seen. But Bobby’s newborn daughter is born with astonishing abilities, and she’s not alone. A miraculous Convergence is headed for Galilee, where the stakes include survival of the Earth as we know it and the human race. By turns hilarious and deadly serious, World on Fire explores the fate of the Earth in an utterly original way.
Late, late at night
In his searingly candid memoir, Rick pulls back the curtain on his image as a bright, shiny, happy performer to share the startling story of his rise and fall and rise in music, film, and television and his lifelong battle with depression.
In the 1980s, singer-songwriter and actor Rick Springfield seemed to have it all: a mega hit single in ”Jessie’s Girl,” sold-out concert tours, follow-up hits that went on to sell over 17 million albums, and 12 million daily viewers who avidly tuned in to General Hospital to swoon over the handsome Dr. Noah Drake. Yet lurking behind his success as a pop star and soap opera heartthrob was a moody, somber, and dark soul, one filled with depression and insecurity.
Magnificent Vibration
“Why are we here? What is love? Is there a Loch Ness monster? Does God send text messages?” These are the kinds of questions Horatio Cotton, aka Bobby Cotton, asks in Rick Springfield’s first novel, Magnificent Vibration. After stealing a mysterious self-help book called Magnificent Vibration: Discover Your True Purpose from a bookstore, Bobby calls the 1-800 number scrawled inside the front cover, only to discover that he has a direct line to God. This launches Bobby on a whimsical quest, serendipitously accompanied by a breathtakingly sexy and exceedingly sharp travel companion named Alice. Together the pair sets out to find some combination of spiritual and carnal salvation—and possibly save the planet.
