by Alexander Smit. Translated by André van den Brink In our quest for the essence in life, interest seems to go out mainly to change and improvement, and many a one has the idea that, by striving for change, a real change may actually take place. But is that so? In the talks with Alexander Smit it is made very clear, that the very urge for self-improvement and change has become one of man’s main obstacles for realizing his true nature. On the one hand, this urge is based on ideas and an idea can never contain the reality. On the other hand, self-improvement and the fixation on change are themselves causing man’s inner conflict to continue. In the confrontation with a teacher who is not bound by ideas, it is possible to come to an immediate recognition of our original nature, as a result of which the manifestation, i.e. body, mind and feeling, may be accepted completely.

The Oak Island Affair is “a wonderful story, full of adventure but also thought-provoking...an exciting constellation of players; an intriguing set of clues.” Catherine Marjoribanks, Toronto editor Vanessa, a freelance
writer, is fleeing the pain of an unraveling relationship when she goes to
her grandmother’s house on Canada's east coast, near Oak Island. Here her
discovery of a 400-year old diary written by a failed Spanish Dominican
monk fuels her need to connect with the essence of romantic love, and
rekindles her obsession with an international, multi-million dollar
treasure hunt that has drawn investors, including Franklin D. Roosevelt,
from Canada, the United States and Europe for the last two hundred years.
Her arrival at a new solution to the mystery, by learning how to see
beyond the barriers of reason, plunges her into an underworld from which
"there is no turning back, where the rules that run the surface world do
not apply..."
Set in Hollywood and the Hamptons during the dead end of the 70’s, Shallow Graves is a satirical retelling of the Parsival legend. Our Holy Fool is the Professor, a half-breed orphan, who does research for horror films. He finds himself pitted against a cabal of satanic cults all vying for control of the clans at the great Feast of the Beast. Movie stars, human sacrifice, East Hampton society and the living dead are all strung together by thread of coincidence with needle sharp wit. The occult pulp fictions of our times are turned on their heads (the Spear of Destiny was stolen by Houdini at the turn of the century; Magdalene was black.) The book is a must read for fans of the bizarre. ISBN: 978-0-9789427-2-4 / $14.95

“…a mosaic of human lives shaped by the forces of World War II and by the choices of despots…”
As
a small boy, Zigurds Grigalis witnessed the gruesome beginnings of
World War II in Latvia and lived through the nights of murder in his
country. He and his family moved on through the daily air raids and
bombings in Germany. He later enjoyed the peaceful surroundings of
Wisconsin and Illinois but the world was not yet at peace and Grigalis,
now a U.S. Marine, had to witness another war in Korea. These personal
experiences with turmoil and human despair locked him in on the defined
course of education. Starting during the most difficult of situations,
while in Korea, he continued for more than fifteen years to get his degree
in architecture and later added an MBA. In 1992, he returned to Latvia,
while continuing to live and work in Philadelphia. When the new government
offered the chance to retrieve pre-war personal properties, he wasted no
time and claimed his grandfather's factories and other properties in
Latvia. He organized corporations in Latvia and hired professionals in the
paper industry, to assist through the scantily organized local government
regulations. Major paper corporations from United States, several European
countries, and even a delegation from China, visited the plants in Latvia.
The conclusion of these expert visitors and the local economic conditions
played a role in the final decisions by the Grandson.

"Remarkable…Simone Felice limns his sordid America with purity and optimism and pulls his reader into those rough abandoned spaces to be awed by the righteous force of trammeled innocence and primed for the endurance of beauty in the world." —John Rodat/MetrolandCall her Mary Washington, a seventeen-year-old saint in hookers clothes who, out of the suffering of her life, comes at last to heed the wild unvanquished whisper of the half-black, half-Cherokee blood coursing through her. In this hard but beautiful fable-noir for a new American century, we stare into a shocking portrait of that curious moment where violence gives birth to grace and true kindred beauty is discovered between the most unlikely of souls. Here is a story of deliverance, a timely meditation on fate and faith and bondage in which young Americans wade through the political and spiritual wreckage of their land hunting a myth called love. For Felice's prophecy is plain:Without it the world dies.

Sentimentality: Poems
My
Life of Turmoil is an intimate portrait of a man and his
family, and of the generation that spawned the Baby Boom. Wenig's nearly
photographic memory gives us a detailed picture of an energetic America
where anything was possible for someone with enough motivation. However,
even though this is a compelling and meticulous memoir, the deeper
intention of the book is to warn the world about the threat posed by
anti-Semitism and Islamofascism. Larry Wenig is a man of passionate
opinions, and many readers may disagree or take offence at some of them.
But whatever your thoughts about his assessment of the world situation,
you will agree that Larry Wenig is a man of immense courage and
conviction, a survivor with a harrowing but inspiring tale to tell and a
warning to deliver. In this book, he has succeeded in doing both.ISBN:
