Book Description
To Pawn a Heart of Gold Newest Romantic Screenplay Entertains with Perverse World of Gold-Digger NEW YORK – How often one speaks of a heart of gold. How rarely one considers its monetary value. In his new book, Geezer Pleaser (published by AuthorHouse), Lawrence J. Corneck stuns readers yet again with his dark humor, unsavory characters, daring dialogue and unusual predicaments, but this time with the story of Asha, a woman hungry for love and money, who often times confuses the two. A sexy call girl who pursues men depending on the size of their wallets, Asha begins to date two men at once — one being a reliable and responsible man named Wendell who is often neglected by Asha, the other being an outlandish and arrogant businessman named Rolando who pursues her despite his marriage to Neptune, a minor movie star. Asha knows that the love triangle is doomed from the beginning, toying with an affair with a married man and stringing along a gullible wanna-be knight, but she continues on her rollercoaster of emotions, pinning the men against each other for money, affection and a few laughs. But Asha also has a soft side that readers glimpse now and again. Brief moments during which her genuine love for both men, mostly notably the scene when Wendell bails her out of jail, occur throughout the book. She has a teenage daughter about whom she constantly worries. She cares for her elderly mother and often visits her in the retirement home where she stays. What little money she manages to scrounge from men all goes toward the welfare of those she loves, leaving next to nothing to satisfy her greed. Despite her desire for financial security, love is at the heart of her. Asha lives by the motto, “I don’t care whose heart is broken as long as it ain’t mine.” As insightful as it is unpredictable, Geezer Pleaser provides a window into an unfamiliar screwball world that still possesses the hard decisions of real life, namely the love we cannot forget and the difference just a few bucks can make. Born and raised in New York, Corneck continues to love living in the Big Apple. His first book, Existential Hell: A Screenplay Trilogy (also available through AuthorHouse), a companion to his second book Big Cigar, Small d**k, was published in 2005. More screenplays based upon earlier characters, including Bald Lubavitcher, Mime’s the Word and Bubble Catcher, will soon be available through AuthorHouse.

Pages : 118
Book Description
Beware the Eyes of Stink! Author Takes on Oddly Enchanting World of Horror in Newest Screenplay NEW YORK – Stink Eyes. It is a look of incredible hatred, a look that – if intense enough, if long enough, if delivered by a person who truly hates – can result in a curse. And it is the look given to Rolando Karputchnick by his soon-to-be ex-wife, Neptune, as she lays dying in the street after a hit-and-run. Lawrence J. Corneck has done it again, shocking and satisfying readers with his eccentric, outlandish characters and trademark brand of sinister humor in his dark new screenplay, Bald Lubavitcher (published by AuthorHouse). A companion to Corneck’s previous books, Bald Lubavitcher follows the outlandish and arrogant Rolando from Geezer Pleaser (published by AuthorHouse), who, in typical Rolando fashion, doesn’t seem too upset about his wife’s sudden expiration. His only cause for concern? Neptune’s departing serving of Stink Eyes. As Neptune fades out of his life, a Movie Buff walks in. “Not an ordinary Movie Buff,” writes Corneck. “But a Movie Buff from Hell, a Movie Buff who assumes the persona of Major Characters in Movies and then proceeds, if one is a believer in the Occult (and dare one not be), to enforce Neptune’s Curse.” Rolando sues the Movie Buff, an ex-con who owes him money, and the two hot-headed men get caught up in an obsessive and unusual rivalry that involves company takeovers, a mind-altering painting, mystery and, of course, murder. The Movie Buff’s last big role? A big surprise. Born and raised in New York, Corneck continues to love living in the Big Apple. He is also the author of Existential Hell: A Screenplay Trilogy, Big Cigar, small d**k, FAT FAT Snitch and Geezer Pleaser (all published by AuthorHouse), companions to Bald Lubavitcher. More screenplays based upon earlier characters, including Mime’s the Word, Bubble Catcher, Asphalt Bungle and Bitch Fight at the KO Corral, will soon be available through AuthorHouse. According to Corneck, each of his screenplays will be written in a different genre: cat and mouse, domestic drama, high adventure, coming of age, comedy, romance, horror, tear-jerker, show biz, caper and western.

Pages : 317
Book Description
Behind the scenes, nothing is what it seems. Gord Stewart, 40 years old, single, moved back into his suburban childhood home to care for his widowed father. But his father no longer needs care and Gord is stuck in limbo. He’s been working in the movie business as a location scout for years, and when there isn’t much filming, as a private eye for a security company run by ex-cops, OBC. When a fellow crew member asks him to find her missing uncle, Gord reluctantly takes the job. The police say the uncle walked into some dense woods in Northern Ontario and shot himself, but the man’s wife thinks he’s still alive. With the help of his movie business and OBC connections, Gord finds a little evidence that the uncle may be alive. Now Gord has two problems: what to do when he finds a man who doesn’t want to be found, and admitting that he’s getting invested in this job. For the first time in his life, Gord Stewart is going to have to leave the sidelines and get into the game. Even if it might get him killed.

Book Description
First published in 1998. This volume (the second of a twin set grouping articles based on papers presented at seminars in Sigtuna, Sweden, during 1994 – 1996) deals with the largest spending programs of the welfare state – old age pensions and medical care, and their place within debates about the desirability and affordability of modern social programs. The volume is divided into four parts. The first part deals with general welfare state issues, cross-cutting themes and characterizations of whole systems within such diverse disciplines as social law, sociology and economics. Part two deals with old age pension reform. The countries discussed have widely different geographical, cultural and historical backgrounds. Part three takes up a number of interesting topics under the heading of health care reform. Part four deals with a substantial issue located and the juncture of aging, affordability, pensions and especially health care: increased longevity (and population aging) and the associated disability and frailty. What effect will these have on the future of modern welfare states?

Book Description
Bubble Catcher Silhouettes of Smoke Show-Biz Screenplay Follows Two Small-town Girls Chasing Big-city Dreams NEW YORK – Two young sisters from Iowa embark on their lifelong dream to become actresses in New York City in Lawrence J. Corneck’s enthralling new screenplay, Bubble Catcher. But their aspirations change dramatically when they meet and team up with an Eastern-European mobster, Armond, in a story that challenges the lengths we’re willing to go – and those we’re willing to betray – for fame, money and power. Ardelle and her sister Tiffany have always been flung into competition with one another, ever since their mother played a disturbing game to determine which daughter she would raise and which one she would send off to an orphanage. Though Ardelle was given away, Tiffany still remained close to her and over time they cemented their bond, relying on one another for strength and support and finally chasing their shared dream of becoming real actresses all the way to the mean streets of New York. But New York has other plans for the two sisters as small-time mobster, Armond, latches onto Ardelle who quickly takes on the persona of Neptune, a rising starlet of the stage. Tiffany is otherwise shunned by her sister and Armond, Ardelle’s self-proclaimed agent who utilizes his fists to make things happen for Ardelle. But Tiffany finds an ally in Tan, Armond's hulking enemy. The four then vie for a role in producer Garrity Desmond’s new production. Cutthroat competition and a desperate need for fame and fortune tear at these characters, driving them to extremes of success and failure. Will their greed and betrayal take its final toll? Find out in the well-paced, riveting pages of Bubble Catcher.

Bumbling Bumble Bees Asphalt Bungle shows how two small-time crooks screw-up their hoped-for last score. In the comedic-suspense original screenplay Asphalt Bungle (published by AuthorHouse), by author Lawrence J. Corneck, readers meet two strange dudes, their myriad criminal cohorts and a caper that goes completely kablooey. When Edwin is released from prison, he is met by his supposed best pal Bongo. Ready for his first post-prison meal at Brooklyn Dreams Diner, Edwin expects an easy evening. But things havent been easy for Edwin in quite some time. So, when a he gets caught up in a bust at the diner, it seems like the Golden Goose has arrived; that is until Edwin and Bongo launch a plan to steal a priceless painting from a safe in the home of a sex-crazed octogenarian gangster carrying on an affair with a bipolar scamming Russian waitress working for an entrepreneurial thug. Played against the backdrop of New York City, Asphalt Bungle, with its dizzying cast of eccentric characters and humorous plot twists, is a thinking mans suspense story. With equal parts hilarity and pop insight, the story takes the classic heist story and turns it into a Shakespearean feast. Bad judgment calls, double-crossing alliances, court-jesters, an off-beat love story brewing in impossible circumstances - Asphalt Bungle includes it all.
