The Autobiography of Jimmy Lee.
Jimmy Lee has led some sort of life!
He had a start in life few would have survived; he was taken into care at three years old and by the time he was eleven he had moved home ten times and attended nine different schools.
His early adolescence was hard by any standards. At fourteen, he ran away to join the Royal Navy and was sent, along with 2000 other boys, to the notorious HMS Ganges at Shotley, in Suffolk, a training establishment where a harsh regime held sway.
He had the misfortune to be placed under the care of two particularly brutal instructors, prone to drunkenness, whose continual bullying and abuse proved too much for his emerging free spirit.
Jim fought back and deserted on numerous occasions. Among his many punishments, he suffered ‘cuts’, a particularly brutal form of naval punishment. The next six years passed with regular naval detentions in the Royal Naval Detention Quarters, Portsmouth, involving exhausting routines and solitary confinements, which ended with a twelve month sentence in the infamous HM Military Prison Corradina, Malta, after which he was dismissed from the Service and returned to civilian life.
Then his troubles really began!
Winner of 20 book awards, SHOT DOWN is set within the framework of World War II in Europe and recounts the dramatic experiences of each member of a ten man B-17 bomber crew after their plane, piloted by the author’s father, was knocked out of the sky by German fighters over the French/Belgium border on February 8,1944.
Some men died. Some were captured and became prisoners of war. Some men evaded capture and were missing in action for months before making it back to England. Their individual stories and those of the courageous Belgian people who risked their lives to help them are all different and are all remarkable.
Even before the dramatic battle in the air and the subsequent harrowing events on the ground, the story is informative, insightful, and captivating. Prior to the fateful event, the book covers the crew’s training, their journey to England, what life was like on base as well as in London and the English countryside, and the perils of flying combat missions over occupied Europe and Germany.
Through personal letters, oral and written accounts, declassified military documents, and interviews – all from people who took part in the events that happened over 70 years ago (even the German Luftwaffe pilot who shot down the Susan Ruth) – the stories come alive. Adding to the feeling of “being there”, are more than 200 time period photographs interspersed throughout the book.
To add background and context, many historical facts and anecdotes about and surrounding World War II are entwined throughout the book so that the reader has a feel for and understanding of what was occurring on a broader scale. SHOT DOWN is an account about brave individuals, featuring pilot Howard Snyder, set within the compelling events of the greatest conflict in world history.
An American family in crisis and how they deal with it. An aging WWII veteran with dementia, a pregnant daughter bein stalked by her meth using boyfriend, and a preteen becoming a teenager are what we see. Behind the scenes, a greater crisis is gathering as an old enemy of one of the family gets ready to take revenge from his post as manager of a security firm contracted to the NSA. By the end of the story you will be wondering who has your information and what are they going to do with it. Available in both Kindle and paperback.
The Warramunga’s War is a sweeping narrative of the friendship that forms between a young Australian army officer, Jamie Munro, and an educated half-caste Warramunga aboriginal NCO, Jack ‘Jacko’ O’Brien, during the Syrian campaign against the Vichy French in World War II.

On one of his day leaves, Jacko meets a beautiful young Syrian-French girl and a strong romantic bond forms between the two during his time in Cairo.
Following the end of the desert war, Jamie and Jacko are assigned to wartime intelligence work in Southeast Asia. After the end of the Pacific war, they initiate the Darwin operations of the CIS, the Commonwealth Investigation Service. On the trail of two suspected wartime German agents, they discover the agents have formed a dangerous criminal gang with an individual they had known during their time in Cairo. The tracking skills of the Warramunga are needed to finally catch up with the murderous gang in Western Australia’s Kimberley region.

Always wanted to know more about Aboriginal Australia? Come on a journey through time with warriors of the enigmatic Fethafoot Clan. For 65,000+ years my clan have solved problems for the Australian Heart-rock people. Now for the first time in our history you can explore our stories. My Clan’s name and its mysteries have always been kept out of public knowledge and history, in my home of Australia. It’s the way the Clan work. To do what they do, secrecy is a prerequisite to safeguard the work and people. For the first time in our long, oral history, we have a means to reveal the long and intriguing history of our covert Clan to other Australians, to the many new people’s who now call this majestic land home: and, to the modern world at large.
If you were born in Australia, you may have even heard such stories told around campfires and family meals, about the Australian Aboriginal magic man – or Kadaicha, as our people named our Clan many years ago. We call ourselves: the Fethafoot.
During the 10 tales, you’ll find that many of the elder warriors were advanced in spiritual travel and did not travel via ‘shanks pony’ – as the act of walking is often called in Australia. Instead, they used the ancient Dreamtime ‘creation-lines’ running across our country, to move swiftly across their lands. Thus, in a mixture of fear and awe the Clan became known as the Fethafoot – half-man, half-spirit beings – who could come and go at will, leaving no trace. Kadaicha spirit-warriors; The Fethafoot.
Infinite Possibilities – A Spiritual Awakening is Bill Geringswald’s attempt to put our beautiful world back on track. Bill Geringswald’s chief role in life has been to identify issues in companies and put them right. With this book, he puts that experience, knowledge and skills to work for the world.
We all know that this world needs fixing. However, there’s a distinct lack of blueprints for us to follow. But, when you put Bill Geringswald’s business experience to work on the world’s issues, Infinite Possibilities – A Spiritual Awakening is what you get.
He poses that well-known theory, that we have the tendency to do the same things over and over again, but expect different results and realises how insane this notion is. In Infinite Possibilities – A Spiritual Awakening Bill Geringswald’s covers four areas:
-
Foundations – Life Passages: In human terms, we need to understand the world we experience has been created by man’s free will. Today’s events serve as a ‘push-back’ to our collective consciousness. We can reverse it anytime we choose.
-
Inner Workings – Generational Slide: Every day our perceptions and decisions based upon them bring about the lifestyle we experience. What we empower in the world, we become.
-
Infrastructure – A Kaleidoscope: Everything we experience acts as a guiding message from God. When following God’s guidance, all is possible. Here, I’ll provide a plan of action for our nation’s future.
-
Choices—Empowering Prosperity: Each one of us can choose to focus on specific events to happen in our lives. Our choices draw people and situations into our lives. When in God’s will the extraordinary becomes ordinary.

EDITORIAL REVIEW-
Which line stood out from all the others in the book?
“He once confided in me that he would prefer to die standing up.” The reason for this, he was told, was “So the world would know that I managed to stay busy on my last day… or that I died trying.” In the end, Percy Miller got his wish.
The book The Plainview Lottery by Markas Dvaras is an interesting read. I found this book very reminiscent of a young adult novel I read many years ago called The Wish Giver by Bill Britain. In both stories, the authors are trying to teach the reader a lesson on human behavior. Each time the easiest route turns out to be the one of most peril. The book starts off with the introduction of mysterious strangers to a nearly perfect town. The strangers introduce a new concept, the lottery. The lottery slowly wheedles its way into everyone’s lives and brings the town to its knees creating litter, layoffs, and laziness. The town never discovers the origin of the strangers or how they were able to do what they did in the time period given. As predicted with any lottery, no one wins the enormous pile of gold and overnight the men and gold disappear. The town slowly returns to normal with a greater appreciation of what they had. The connections between the last two chapters or short stories mostly point out and reinforce those lessons that were learned and that the reader may have missed. I did find that Dvaras’ overuse of the verb ‘was’ weakened his prose just a bit. This story took a hard look at society as a whole and how “we are the generation that would rather just sit there.”

How Could a Lottery be a Mistake?
Welcome to Plainview– a town with everything going for it, and with none of the problems one would expect to see in a typical American town. No poverty, no homelessness, no unemployment– not even a litter problem.
But all that changes when five mysterious strangers show up in the town square one day, pulling a wagon-load of gold bars behind them. They’re going to run a lottery for Plainview, with the gold as the grand prize. With little discussion, Plainview readily agrees– and that’s the first in a series of hilarious mistakes.
Is the Lottery a Scam?
Now meet James Henderson– he’s an award-winning journalist for Plainview’s local paper, The Plainview Review. He suspects they are being swindled after he notices there are no winning numbers being drawn. Yet the residents of Plainview are becoming obsessed, and soon start losing their jobs while focusing on the gold bars.
Can James prove anything for his article? Can he stop his hometown from succumbing to “Lottery Fever?” Does it even matter?
A satire on economics and the human condition, The Plainview Lottery will have you rethinking how money is supposed to work.
ROCK IS DEAD THEY SAY. . . VOL. I explores rock ‘n’ roll’s history, with a focus on rock’s early ’90’s “last wave” as the National Soundtrack, before becoming the B-side to Hip Hop. Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Joey Kramer (Aerosmith), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), and Kosmo Vinyl (the Clash’s major-domo and occasional manager) bare their rockin’ souls in never-before-published COMPLETE interviews, spurred on by the probing questions of writer Mark Barsotti, ex-music critic for Denver’s Westword, whose work also appeared in Musician, D.J. Times, Request, Livewire, Syracuse New Times, Bad News and New Times (Miami).
Highlights from the original stories intro the long form interviews, which are followed by a “Re-Listenability Index” and the writer’s current take, two decades into the 21st Century.
Barsotti’s passionate, sometimes outrageous opinions also crackle through features on AC/DC, censorship, the ’60’s vs. the ’80’s, loads of album reviews, rock’s greatest movies, and his unique take on the past and future of rock ‘n’ roll. . . if – facing the coming Great Die-Off of the ’20’s – it still has one.
But hey. . . What can a poor boy do but TURN IT UP!
“Every party plate of cocaine strapped to a midget’s head cost 10,000 days of dogged, road warrior work, as bands schlepped to gigs in overcrowded vans with no ac but plenty of beer farts and insane drummers explaining that Jackie killed JFK (or maybe it was the Masons). Rockers worked their asses of, wooing their muse and chasing the dream, even if precious few ever rose to penthouse cocaine-midget status. So who better to tell the story than the musicians themselves?”

Sammon gives Trump common sense advice on how he can become a more effective leader by becoming a human being instead of a jerk.
Trump doesn’t think he needs to be honorable. Sammon tells him different.
As in the first book Oh Don, installments of Oh Don, Once Again were posted weekly to Trump’s Facebook page where they were erased by someone 10 minutes after posting.
Trump or his cronies can erase the comments in Oh Don, Once Again, off of his website. But they can’t erase the difference between right and wrong. That’s what this book is all about.

Blood of the Unknowns, a sequel to Guns of the Abyss, is the second of two novels of political intrigue and warfare that follow a woman’s attempt to prevent the spreading cataclysm of events that ignite World War I. In Blood of the Unknowns, we visit the outcome of her vain political activism, and the misfortunes of her husband, a former assistant to the German Chancellor, now consigned to the machine of war as a low-ranking army private fighting at the behest of militarist aristocrats supportive of the imperialist government’s expansionary view of a European continent.
Under the moonlight, he and a fellow German soldier, a dark-skinned Gypsy recruit, share the same crowded stand in a muddy, hand-shoveled trench on the deadly Western Front. As oddly paired as two men of different backgrounds and experience might be, Privates Frieslaven and Maruska hunker in protective friendship, a vital, cooperative defense against enemy sniper fire, bombs and bayonets, and the failures of German leadership that result in the sacrifice of tens of thousands of men pushed beyond human capacity.
The human toll of death and gruesome injury soars on a daily basis as constant waves of courageous soldiers snip through braced lines of rolling barbwire, crawl across pock-marked fields, and watch in war-weary horror as compatriots ordered to charge are felled by machine gun fire so thick that retreat is inevitable for those few left standing. Unilateral surrender is not a choice, however bloodied the troops.
REVIEWS:
An absolutely staggering account of soldiers at war. Makes you seem to be there, gasping with fright, sick to the stomach at the horror of war in having to kill and killing advancing ground troops. A must read for any soldier.
Keith Reeve
Wow! Powerful! Well written, scary, sad.
Larry Bryan
Brings the horror of trench warfare to“ life”; no pun intended.

THE WOMAN IN THE YELLOW DRESS is a Private Eye story set in 1948 Los Angeles. A beautiful wealthy woman, Rachel Stone Barbieri, hires Patrick Miles Atwater to discover if her husband, Cesar is cheating on her. Patrick senses she is lying but takes the case to find out what her true agenda is all about.
The romance between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre has been celebrated as one of the greatest of the 20th century. From the beginning, their relationship was a tumultuous one, in which the couple’s excesses were as widely known as their passion for each other. Despite their love, both Scott and Zelda engaged in flirtations that threatened to tear the couple apart. But none had a more profound impact on the two—and on Scott’s writing—as the liaison between Zelda and a French aviator, Edouard Jozan. Though other biographies have written of Jozan as one of Scott’s romantic rivals, accounts of the pilot’s effect on the couple have been superficial at best.
In The Gatsby Affair: Scott, Zelda, and the Betrayal That Shaped an American Classic, Kendall Taylor examines the dalliance between the southern belle and the French pilot from a fresh perspective. Drawing on conversations and correspondence with Jozan’s daughter, as well as materials from the Jozan family archives, Taylor sheds new light on this romantic triangle. More than just a casual fling, Zelda’s tryst with Edouard affected Scott as much as it did his wife—and ultimately influenced the author’s most famous creation, Jay Gatsby. Were it not for Zelda’s affair with the pilot, Scott’s novel might be less about betrayal and more about lost illusions.
Exploring the private motives of these public figures, Taylor offers new explanations for their behavior. In addition to the love triangle that included Jozan, Taylor also delves into an earlier event in Zelda’s life—a sexual assault she suffered as a teenager—one that affected her future relationships. Both a literary study and a probing look at an iconic couple’s psychological makeup, The Gatsby Affair offers readers a bold interpretation of how one of America’s greatest novels was influenced.

Subjected to the indecision of medical professionals who insist on perpetuating a practice they claim is safe, every woman should learn to question them. Doctors are human too and are far from perfect, but patients tend to say nothing, never challenge their practices, and therefore things will never change. The events described in this memoir were either a direct or indirect result of a doctor’s dismissal of signs of impending difficulties, or their failure to act in a timely fashion using interventions that could have otherwise made a difference. In A Flash calls them all into question and, with any luck, will force them to at least look into what appears to be the source of devastating loss for thousands of women everywhere. End the madness: Question their motives, stand up for your rights, and never allow them to disregard even the slightest concern.

Margaritas & Mexico! Murder???One Man’s Epic Journey across two Continents and four Countries with 50 years of Adventure. But,1986 changed everything forever. “It’s all good until it turns bad.” One event devastated the lives of 19 Students, 3 Chaperones and 1 Bus Driver. Was it the Tequila???
Thinking about sending your “Kids” to Paradise Unsupervised? THINK AGAIN!!!
EXCERPT from CHAPTER 1
I boarded the bus having a bit of difficulty due to the metal support brace that I had fixed to my right knee. I looked at my “amigos,” a word we had learned on this trip to Mexico, we each used it loosely – each person, place or thing that we encountered was our Amigo.
“Sorry for being the last person.”
It was 8:12 a.m., we were supposed to be gone and on the asphalt broken highway back to life as we knew it no later than 8:00 a.m. There was a silence of which I have never heard before nor have ever heard since. I trapped a bee with my thumb that had been swarming around my beer either attracted to the fruit inside my bottle or the rotten salsa that was smeared on the outside.
“Still nothing from Tina?” The words came slurred from my dry swollen, partly scabbed lips, which had enjoyed too much sun and salty margaritas.
My question was answered by the anguished looks of my fellow spring breakers. Tina had not surfaced. The last time any of us, including her two roommates had seen her was 36 hours earlier.
This is “My Bad Tequila.”
This spring getaway was supposed to be a fun experience and a pleasant memory. It ended up being more than a memory; it was an unpleasant walk through life.

Christine Ray’s debut poetry collection ‘Composition of a Woman’ is an extraordinary glimpse into the essence of what it takes to make, and sometimes simultaneously break, a woman as strikingly powerful as she is beautiful. Split into five sections (Nerve, Brain, Breast, Rib, and Blood), Ray writes about chronic illness, depression, love, loss, and identity.

In Composition, Christine Ray reveals so much of what we try to hide, and she does so while dancing between ruthlessly beautiful and heartbreakingly painful.”

The Autobiography of Jimmy Lee.
Jimmy Lee has led some sort of life!
He had a start in life few would have survived; he was taken into care at three years old and by the time he was eleven he had moved home ten times and attended nine different schools.
His early adolescence was hard by any standards. At fourteen, he ran away to join the Royal Navy and was sent, along with 2000 other boys, to the notorious HMS Ganges at Shotley, in Suffolk, a training establishment where a harsh regime held sway.
He had the misfortune to be placed under the care of two particularly brutal instructors, prone to drunkenness, whose continual bullying and abuse proved too much for his emerging free spirit.
Jim fought back and deserted on numerous occasions. Among his many punishments, he suffered ‘cuts’, a particularly brutal form of naval punishment. The next six years passed with regular naval detentions in the Royal Naval Detention Quarters, Portsmouth, involving exhausting routines and solitary confinements, which ended with a twelve month sentence in the infamous HM Military Prison Corradina, Malta, after which he was dismissed from the Service and returned to civilian life.
Then his troubles really began!
Winner of 20 book awards, SHOT DOWN is set within the framework of World War II in Europe and recounts the dramatic experiences of each member of a ten man B-17 bomber crew after their plane, piloted by the author’s father, was knocked out of the sky by German fighters over the French/Belgium border on February 8,1944.
Some men died. Some were captured and became prisoners of war. Some men evaded capture and were missing in action for months before making it back to England. Their individual stories and those of the courageous Belgian people who risked their lives to help them are all different and are all remarkable.
Even before the dramatic battle in the air and the subsequent harrowing events on the ground, the story is informative, insightful, and captivating. Prior to the fateful event, the book covers the crew’s training, their journey to England, what life was like on base as well as in London and the English countryside, and the perils of flying combat missions over occupied Europe and Germany.
Through personal letters, oral and written accounts, declassified military documents, and interviews – all from people who took part in the events that happened over 70 years ago (even the German Luftwaffe pilot who shot down the Susan Ruth) – the stories come alive. Adding to the feeling of “being there”, are more than 200 time period photographs interspersed throughout the book.
To add background and context, many historical facts and anecdotes about and surrounding World War II are entwined throughout the book so that the reader has a feel for and understanding of what was occurring on a broader scale. SHOT DOWN is an account about brave individuals, featuring pilot Howard Snyder, set within the compelling events of the greatest conflict in world history.

Always wanted to know more about Aboriginal Australia? Come on a journey through time with warriors of the enigmatic Fethafoot Clan. For 65,000+ years my clan have solved problems for the Australian Heart-rock people. Now for the first time in our history you can explore our stories. My Clan’s name and its mysteries have always been kept out of public knowledge and history, in my home of Australia. It’s the way the Clan work. To do what they do, secrecy is a prerequisite to safeguard the work and people. For the first time in our long, oral history, we have a means to reveal the long and intriguing history of our covert Clan to other Australians, to the many new people’s who now call this majestic land home: and, to the modern world at large.
If you were born in Australia, you may have even heard such stories told around campfires and family meals, about the Australian Aboriginal magic man – or Kadaicha, as our people named our Clan many years ago. We call ourselves: the Fethafoot.
During the 10 tales, you’ll find that many of the elder warriors were advanced in spiritual travel and did not travel via ‘shanks pony’ – as the act of walking is often called in Australia. Instead, they used the ancient Dreamtime ‘creation-lines’ running across our country, to move swiftly across their lands. Thus, in a mixture of fear and awe the Clan became known as the Fethafoot – half-man, half-spirit beings – who could come and go at will, leaving no trace. Kadaicha spirit-warriors; The Fethafoot.
This collection of poetry is a raw and emotionally gripping tale told through a loose narrative style and imbued with Allred’s passion and personality. It retains a beautiful and haunting style of composition in which we are given an unfettered look into the thought processes -however different than our own- of mental illness and the brutal honesty of it. The often lyrical style and lightness of the rhyme arrangements that juxtapose the weight of the concepts discussed within are powerful and unique among contemporary poems.

The year was 1941; it was a warm summer day in the Bronx…
I waited until all my boys were inside the building, and then I turned to look at Graysen. “First of all, Mr. Cooper, I want to thank you for coming to Frankie’s rescue. I don’t know what would have happened to my son if you hadn’t come to his aid when you did. I appreciate that very much.” I noticed him step closer to me, and I backed up a few steps to see him grinning again.
I turned my head to the side and then licked my dry lips. “Second of all, I don’t appreciate you encouraging my son to lie to his father. He must be punished for disobeying him.”
He stepped closer to me once again, but this time he put his hand out and grabbed onto my wrist. “Why would you want your son to be punished by a man who hurts you, Mrs. Klatt?” Then he let go of me but continued to stare into my eyes. “Just a thought, but after hearing what you went through a few weeks past, don’t you think your son deserves a break? I believe he learned his lesson today. I think you just need to remind him of that and let it go, Mrs. Klatt.”
I knew he was probably right, but I wouldn’t admit that to him. He was so smug as he stood there mimicking me.
I bit down on my bottom lip to stop it from trembling. Then I drew a quick breath of air into my lungs and let it out slowly before I answered him. “Thank you for your help and the advice. I will see you again. Good day, Mr. Cooper.”
“Yes, you will. Good day, Elizabeth.”
I turned away from him but heard his laughter follow me as I hurried up the stairs and into the building. Why did he get under my skin so quickly? I knew why, but I couldn’t afford to think about it. I must avoid Mr. Cooper in the future, But I knew after seeing his kind eyes again it would be impossible. I leaned against the closed door and smiled. He was a handsome devil, and if I didn’t mind my P’s and q’s, I’d get myself in trouble, and that was something I just couldn’t afford.

Investigative journalist Shoshi Herscu’s extensive research reveals an insidious plot against humanity — a mass genocide to reduce the world’s population by 95% by 2030. Although it’s hard to believe, Herscu asserts the so-called “cabal” has been systemically forwarding this agenda for 50 years with U.N. and government cooperation. But, “Mass Awakening” (published by Balboa Press AU) is also a celebration of the unshackled human spirit’s quest to know “the truth” and rectify crimes against humanity. The book is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Mass-Awakening-Shoshi-Herscu/dp/1982208554.
Herscu explains that chemtrails — contrails left from airplanes which purportedly spread chemical or biological agents — above Israel years ago led to her learning about the hidden worldwide strategies furthering the cabal’s agenda like geoengineering, fluoridation of water supplies, GMOs, vaccinations, false flag terrorist attacks and economic warfare. Added to these revelations, the author discusses the suppression of new technologies from the secret space program that could clean the air and easily feed all humanity, such as free-energy devices. Herscu shows how disclosures by whistleblowers have revealed these breakthroughs and much more. So, according to the author, the global society is poised at “darkest hour before the dawn” and the birth of a golden new era.
“I feel that people feel very hopeless when they see their reality and the one they see on mainstream media. People aren’t aware that we’re in the midst of a positive shift worldwide,” Herscu says. “This book gives readers the tools to spot the signs of this positive shift from their sources, as well as discern information they have and give hope for an amazing future for everyone on this planet.”
According to Ada Tourtsakis of PrepareForChangeLeadership.org, “Mass Awakening” is Shoshi Herscu’s well researched and yet profoundly personal handling of intensely shocking material, rarely covered in print, is quite impressive for a first-time author. It is both a true inspiration and a much-needed breath of fresh air.”

‘Free us from the fury of the Northmen, O Lord’. That’s the dedication in Mary Jane Walker’s new travel memoir A Maverick Inuit Way and the Vikings, the seventh in a series. Living in the Southern Hemisphere, Mary Jane was long fascinated by the lands of the North at the other end of the world. Finally, she decided to go on a tour of Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, and Finland.
The book includes chapters on the Orkneys and Shetlands, islands that have strong Norse links though they are now part of Scotland.
Mary Jane talks about the modern countries as well as the old folk traditions and includes a final chapter on the Baltic States and Russia, which have strong ties to the Scandinavian region as well.
The Inuit of the title are not the only indigenous people Mary Jane encounters. She includes several discussions of the Sámi, Europe’s last indigenous people, pushed toward the far north by early encounters with Scandinavians and Finns.
With many pictures and maps, A Maverick Inuit Way and the Vikings is a great introduction to a fascinating part of the world that is still in many ways a frontier, even the parts that are in Europe!
For the week 22 to 29 December 2018, the book will be available on Kindle Countdown for only 99 cents in the USA and 99 p in Britain. Reviews would be most gratefully appreciated!

Her second book, A Maverick New Zealand Way, was a finalist in Travel at the International Book Awards in 2018.)

Blackout Reveries
by Russ Pouliot
What’s reality and what’s a dream?
What if you found the cause of your addiction was the
other part of you?
What would you want?
What would you do and which of you would do it?
Gene Stewart is a champion underground fighter and alcoholic living in the most beautiful city in the world, Los Angeles. He is not sure if he is living the dream, or dreaming a nightmare he cannot wake up from. His existence is the glittering Los Angeles nightlife, its alcohol and women. From his secret daytime identity as a gardener and long time surfer, Gene roams from illegal fights in Mexico, to alley fights in Hollywood, boozing harder, ending up lonelier, emptier.
For Gene it is one more fight, one more wave, one more woman, and always one more drink. He pleases the women, pummels his opponents, and hates his single father, whom he drinks at because he was never good enough for him.
Gene has had an ongoing relationship with a fifty-ton Humpback Whale by the name of Rachel. He first began hearing her songs when he was young. She adopted him then and has looked after him, more or less since his real mother abandoned him at age four. Gene communicates with Rachel about life by ‘sonic telepathy’ as she calls it.
Lately Gene’s life consists of coming to from day, or week long drunken escapades, swearing that he will never drink again as he recalls in terror bits and pieces of atrocities he committed in his blackouts, horrified at what he can remember of his actions and what he must be capable of.
God watches over drunks and fools and Gene believes that he is both, but he does not seem to recognize The Angel at his elbow in the form of Mac Sajak, a long time family friend. Unknown to Gene until the end, Mac is really a ghost, roaming the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, giving angelic help by tender, careful ministering of The 12 Step Program to any derelict in any dumpster that wants it.
Not recognizing the sobering potential of Mac’s influence, Gene drinks and fights on when he is challenged to his ultimate fight by an underground organization that has had a scout, Dash Dickendasher, watching him for years. As Gene trains for the fight in the balmy, Southern California ambiance with asphalt between curbstones garnished with palms on gentle knolls overlooking the ocean, the city constantly buzzing with Hollywood glitz, he is sure his greatest battle is just ahead. It’s an underground fight of international and deadly proportions. He wonders if it’s his greatest fight, or just an excuse to check out?
Don, Gene’s father, dies weeks before the fight. Realizing how desperately he loved his father, Gene resolves to take out his anger on his opponent, Carl Collata. Gene destroys Carl in the ring and is knocked into a coma himself by an explosion in the fighting arena in the last seconds of the bout. In a coma for eleven days, Gene talks and argues with the spirit of his father and his physical and spiritual selves. Rachel the whale, in human form visits him while he is out; she heals him of his injuries with sonic waves.
Gene awakens from his coma to find Kathy, The Angel. She has been the Candy Stripper assigned to his hospital room. He is instantly in love and convinced she is an Angel of healing and mercy sent to rescue him. She helps him realize that his ultimate battle is yet to come; it is the mortal argument between his two selves, Styler Gene and Fighter Gene, which he finds he needs The Twelve Steps to resolve and survive, this time with the real, healthy love of a living doll and Mac, his ghostly sponsor.
All of this is hopefully a reality this time. Gene asks himself if Kathy is to good to be true? Reality, dream, or blackout? It has been a puzzle for him throughout his life.
Gene revels in falling in love with and dating Kathy in a new life of joy, yet he falls again, going into the ultimate drinking spree, committing assaults, rape and murder. What’s reality? What’s a dream? Can Gene wake from his nightmare, or has he already?
Forward.
The effects and results of alcoholism and addiction are foremost in the minds’ eye of the world’s collective consciousness. Addiction rages on with seeming infinite power, the world apparently powerless to stop it.
Why is it we lose some of our most popular, beloved and brilliant celebrities to addiction? After each tragic loss of a celebrity life, we mourn and agonize more, but only greater oaths to stop the carnage are given. The symptoms are treated with ever-greater fervor, the cause goes on untreated and unknown.
Not only celebrities, but those that are addicted in our own families live agonizing lives of insane spiraling down to horrid deaths by decay and dissipation. Who in the world has not been touched by addiction?
The world is increasing in its fascination with addiction and all its effects and fallouts. Demand, desire, and popularity for material on the subject grow at an exponential rate, because addiction is increasing at an exponential rate.
What limit is there in world demand for such material as self help books? Will the world ever get enough of the living nightmares personified by the tragic deaths of film, TV and music legends?
While other works have danced and circled around the bull’s-eye of alcoholism and addiction, Blackout Reveries boldly states the cause as man’s drive for love, applied in a mistaken, sick way.
Utilizing the old concept of the duality of man, the hero in this novel communicates with his spiritual and physical selves. With the help of a sponsor who is himself a ghost and recovered alcoholic angel roaming the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, looking to help any drunk who wants it; Gene Stewart, the hero of Blackout Reveries, is able to observe and educate his spiritual and physical selves that it is their self-preservation based arguments (known as resentments) that create a block to his being loved. Alcohol, which Gene has learned from timeless generations of his families’ culture to use to numb, or block the agony of his loveless, stark life; has now mistakenly come to be perceived by him as the love he’s wondered about, and sought after to the point of insanity and mortal desperation.

While Syria is to be quartered amid talks are held among the major
players, this is not a book on the boardroom politics that decide the
fate of millions of innocent people. On the ground this is a more
personal account of the war we read every day about, snippets here and
there just enough to keep the decade long conflict at the back of our
heads. ‘The Incidental Jihadi’ is a bit of a reminder of the human
cost of this conflict which will stay with you longer after the world
trades off and tunes out the pain of an entire nation’s people.
Available for a limited time on a special promotional price beginning
the 7th of November this year on Amazon Kindle books.
