Book Description
Kidnapped and transported to an unknown destination, Kate is used as a powerful mans secret toy. When he tires of her, she is drugged and taken back to her home. Neither the police nor her only family, her brother, Bryn, believed she was kidnapped and brought back to her flat. It just didnt make sense as Bryn had received photographs of her and her new husband honeymooning in Europe. Confused but determined to find her kidnappers and bring them to justice, she hires a private detective, Red, but he comes with baggage of his own, which he has to work through before he can help her. Kate advertises and finds another victim, Fiona, who was turned into a drug addict by the Boss, as hes known. Both girls had been tattooed with a weeping spider on the base of their spine. When an international assassin comes after them, Red sends them to a place of safety, where Kate must learn to defend herself. To make matters worse for Kate, she discovers Bryn is gay and a male prostitute to the rich, employed by her ex-fianc, who organizes these orgies. Tormented by the spider that runs up and down her back, Kate must find her inner strength and, together with Fiona and Red, go down a terrifying path of drugs, sex, and murder, before coming out in a peaceful white tent.

Book Description
Ten-year-old Emma has battled dark creatures and protected her home from errant magic, but an unexpected letter brings her scariest trial yet―attending a wedding in Calebrin. Da’s younger sister has invited them for her ceremony, but Emma dreads the huge city, its strange people, uncomfortable fancy clothes, and worst of all: shoes. Her anxiety builds when Nan refuses to go, filling her head with worries about what could be wrong with her father’s side of the family. On Emma’s first night in Calebrin, spectral crying wakes her. She creeps out of bed to discover a forlorn spirit wandering the halls, who seems to be trying to warn Emma of danger. Alas, Da’s prim and proper mother has a low opinion of druids, and an even lower opinion of Mama. His younger brother takes particular delight in tormenting Emma, and her efforts to assist the spirit only annoy him more. She suspects something far darker than an arrogant uncle lurks in the giant manor house where her father grew up. No longer afraid, Emma tries to help the ghost—before she becomes one herself.

Book Description
Thirteen years ago, I led a very dark and disturbing life, and I was suffering severely with mental illness and drug addiction. During this dark period of my life, I isolated myself from my family, friends and the world in my little den on Long Island. While I was in my “Den of Darkness” I did something else besides drugs and drinking, I sat at my desk and wrote poetry. Hundreds and hundreds of poems that stored in my desk top computer. These poems were not written in a proper state of mind. Unfortunately, because of the mind set I was in at that time, my poetry is very dark and disturbing, but when I think about it -- isn’t Batman dark and disturbing? These poems describe the way I felt when I lived in my “Den Where I Cried.”

Book Description
Much is known about the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Armageddon, and the Mayan end of times. Only a few know of the Great Reversal of the Magudans. A handful of shamans among this forgotten community of Africa heard the gong of the End sounding. That would be the beginning of their battle for the reversal of the fate of the world. Elsewhere, Goddess Isis is calling through Atete Ayyantu for the rise of the Seven Dancing Queens of Africas ancient Oracles. Many may rise in the name of Isis, but only her true daughters and sons could deliver the world from its impending doom. Ayyantu should awaken the Nyabinghi and the other priestess queens. To ensure the revival and survival of their people across the End, these Seven should rescue the Thirsty Cup from a ferocious medium of Maguda. The League of the Monarchs of the World headed by the Ethiopian Lion of Judah, Mengistu the military junta, Jalala the Magician, and China are also hunting for the Cup. Those who grab the Cup would be the superpowers of the New World. This battle, which involves the dead and the half-dead, would be peerless in the memory of the three winds.

When Ancestors Weep
Author: James A. Houck Jr. Ph.D.
Publisher: Abbott Press
ISBN: 1458222128
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
We are all beautiful souls made in the image of God, full of inherent value, dignity, and worth. Yet we may struggle to accept this truth because our attention is often diverted to focus solely on outward appearances and behaviors. In other words, we all live with some degree of ignorance of our soul consciousness. We may get glimpses of it, but we never attain the full extent because physical, emotional, and psychological issues cloud our vision of who we truly are. For example, diseases and illnesses do afflict us in the body. We do feel physical and emotional pain with so much intensity at times that we believe it is going to break us in two. At times, our lungs may struggle to take a breath, or hunger and diseases cause our stomach, intestines, bones, muscles, and blood to scream in agony. These experiences might make us question whether or not we are the soul whom God has created. However, this illusion lies not in the suffering, pain, and agony we experience, but rather, it is in the perception that there is nothing more to us than an emotional, intellectual, and physical body. Indeed, physical and emotional pain and suffering can temporarily drown out the cry of our soul, but our soul is never silenced. Furthermore, the truth is that the greatest strength of who we are as souls lies in our ability to transform and transcend physical, emotional, and psychological limitations. The greatest effect hearing the cries of our ancestors has on us not only comes from getting in touch with our own soul’s voice but also awakens us to hear the cries of those who have no voice today. There has always existed in society a pattern of disenfranchising the weak and wounded—people who have been labeled as unlovable, untouchable, and therefore, unreachable. For some, disenfranchisement was due to their disease or illness. For others, it was due to their poverty. Still for others, it was due to their gender, race, religion, politics, or social class. Many in society preferred such people not to be seen, let alone heard from. However, just as the cries of our ancestors and those who have been the victims of crimes against humanity can never be silenced, and so, too, are the cries of the disenfranchised heard above the din of everyday life. Their cries are not only heard deep within the soul but their pain is also given a voice through those who speak for them.
