Book Description
Previously published; newly revised by author I like my women like I like my whiskey: liable to kill me. The two parts of being a paranormal private investigator I could really do without are being forced to eat bananas by an animated statue with a potassium fixation, and being put on trial for murder by a self-appointed council of vampire oligarchs. To be fair, I did kind of do it (the murder, not the bananas). But I was kind of saving my girlfriend, who is kind of one of them. On top of this, I’ve also wound up with a primordial queen of the damned trying to strangle me in my dreams. And the conspiracy of undead wizards who tried to sacrifice me fifteen years ago has decided that now is the best possible time to give it another go. Throw in the woman who left me for a tech start-up, the old girlfriend who I might sort of owe eternal mystical fealty to and a werewolf “it girl” who can’t decide if she wants to eat me in the good way or the bad way, and I’m beginning to think life would be easier if I made better choices. Then again, it’d be a whole lot less fun. This book is approximately 98,000 words

Book Description
Dreams are but a shadow of reality...Susannah Murphy had lived for over a decade in a fractured dream state that was filled with demons and horrors. She was a faery and had performed a forbidden ritual at seventeen. Instead of dying as a result, she was forced to live in her own nightmare. Yet even in her sleep she's a danger, preying on the innocent while they sleep. All because she wants vengeance on the one person she blames for her torment. Kirsa. When Al Moore and Kirsa Heinrich learn that four teenagers from various states have had bizarre dreams of angels and demons, they fear for the worst. One refuses to leave his home while another finds refuge in a Catholic church and another seeks shelter in a mental institution. Kirsa and Al battle to figure out the connection before they all fall victim to Susannah's nightmare magick. Doing so will force Kirsa to come to terms with the biggest mistake she has ever made. With Susannah loose and out of control, she threatens the friendship between Kirsa, Sabrina and Sara by trying to pit them against each other. Ayden is powerless to help when the battles are being fought on the astral plane. Is Kirsa strong enough to figure it all out before her own reality is destroyed or will Susannah finally have her vengeance on those that she feels betrayed her long ago? Because the only way to win is to face your fears. So welcome to Susannah's nightmare, where anything is possible.

Book Description
One winter's night the writer renounced his American dream of building a life in New York City to follow an enigmatic inner voice and embrace an unknown path, which goes on to occasion a life-changing journey in Peru, South America. He experiences the remarkable healing properties of shamanic ceremonies in the Amazon Jungle, the sublime energy of the ancient Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu and the Andes Mountains, the openness of Peruvian villagers and their commendable life-styles in harmony with nature, and friendship of many individuals who 'coincidentally' enter his life at the most appropriate moments to help him integrate the vital changes taking place in his being. Part autobiographical, part travelogue, part philosophical musing and part poetry, wrapped up in language both sensitive to the writer's predicament and lyrically appreciative of the natural world, this book addresses the ethos of the world's current dominant civilizations. It also affirms for many seekers in the world, that it is possible to discover their true path in life and create their own reality based on their version of the absolute truth, which ultimately rests in all of us.

Book Description
From life in the streets and love in the alleys to fame in the spotlight and an untimely death—raw, biting, and brilliant selections from the personal journals of one of the most uniquely creative artists of the late twentieth century When his life ended at age thirty-seven—a casualty of the AIDS epidemic that took so many before their time—David Wojnarowicz had long since established himself as one of America’s most vital artists and activists. In the Shadow of the American Dream is a stunning collection of riveting and revealing chapters from Wojnarowicz’s extensive personal diaries—thirty volumes’ worth of memories and lucid observations, some bitter, some sweet—that the author began writing when he was seventeen and continued until his death two decades later. Here is a brilliant chronicle of an artist’s emergence—a young man’s still achingly fresh memories of his unhappy adolescence and his glorious discovery of self. Wojnarowicz recalls his life on Manhattan’s Lower East Side with no shame or regret, and shares his hitchhiking journeys across the country. He talks of art and love and sex—embracing who he is fully and accepting his heartbreaking fate without pathos—while providing fascinating glimpses into the vibrant and colorful New York art scene and poignant views of life and death among the AIDS community. At once frightening and courageous, joyous and disturbing, enlightening and honest, In the Shadow of the American Dream is a treasured addition to the enduring literary legacy of David Wojnarowicz and a true testament to his unique brilliance.
