I hope that like little fireflies that shine in the night, they also help you in your darkest hours. As you walk in the rain, all drenched and cold, may you find little sparks of hope to carry you through.

Strange Blood: 71 Essays on Offbeat and Underrated Vampire Movies

About Strange Blood: 71 Essays on Offbeat and Underrated Vampire Movies

This is an overview of the most offbeat and underrated vampire movies spanning nine decades and 23 countries.

Strange Blood encompasses well-known hits as well as obscurities that differ from your standard fang fare by turning genre conventions on their head. Here, vampires come in the form of cars, pets, aliens, mechanical objects, gorillas, or floating heads. And when they do look like a demonic monster or an aristocratic Count or Countess, they break the mold in terms of imagery, style, or setting. Leading horror writers, filmmakers, actors, distributors, academics, and programmers present their favorite vampire films through in-depth essays, providing background information, analysis, and trivia regarding the various films. Some of these stories are hilarious, some are terrifying, some are touching, and some are just plain weird. Not all of these movies line up with the critical consensus, yet they have one thing in common: they are unlike anything you’ve ever seen in the world of vampires. Just when you thought that the children of the night had become a tired trope, it turns out they have quite a diverse inventory after all.

The Book of Things By Russell Sullivan

About The Book of Things By Russell Sullivan

Have you ever stood corrected?

Was it difficult? Was it uncomfortable?

The Book of Things was written to correct a mistake and then sets out to make mistakes about everything!

Clear your head and open your mind. This book is a book of non science, making it nonsense. Can you make sense of that?

The Book Of Things places matter at its center and using science taught to a minor attempts to illustrate a way that may matter to some, a way where simple science can be extrapolated into something larger than itself. The Book Of Things also considers success and failure, that needle in a haystack at its center, not posing the questions why or what if but applauding those who asked them.

An addendum to an appendice that is potentially fatal for some and inescapable for the writer, The Book Of Things arrived not as planned but as a result of happenstance. It is hoped that others who may share in the books in jokes will find not a serendipitous belonging but an eventuality of happenstance allowing them to share in that which inspires books and readers.

Creativity.

It is our creativity that has enabled much, and provided the wild geese that tease and titillate us providing endeavor that a smith once considered vital to enriching our lives. The Book Of Things draws upon the legacy of those such as that smith and others in different fields whose creativity shaped the world we live in today. It is about giving back, returning that creative impetus and adding impetuous zest.

This is the intrinsic nature of the writer a lover of the words of so many others and wanting to share at least some of the results of that passion with others.

Daring the Duke By Charlie Lane

About Daring the Duke By Charlie Lane

Release Day – October 28th

FREE on Kindle Unlimited!!

In this Regency romance by Charlie Lane, a London season of scandalous dares forces a lady and her duke to see that perfect isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

A redheaded bluestocking in desperate need of a wealthy husband.
A handsome duke looking for the perfect duchess.
And a dare that shows that opposites may not only attract but can be so much more.

Lady Tabitha Hampton has the memory of an elephant. Her sharp brain locks everything away tight as a trunk in an attic. But this talent fails to help the twenty-seven-year-old bluestocking attract the attention of a single wealthy suitor. And she needs one. With three sisters of marriageable age, a sickly father, and a series of bad investments draining their dowries, Tabitha’s marriage could save or ruin her entire family.

The Duke of Collingford needs a wife, but not just any one will do. Arthur’s future duchess must be perfect in every way—fair of face, impeccable manners, with enough social influence to impact his parliamentary projects. When he joins the whirl of the London season, the duke finds an insufferable, redheaded wallflower instead.

Tabitha insists she can be the perfect duchess, if he’ll only give her the chance. Arthur agrees to test her abilities, but she tests his control. And one taste of her lips is enough to make him embrace chaos.

Opposites may attract, but can they cooperate? Or will they lose everything, including their hearts?

Two Houses

About Two Houses

“A sparkling, hilarious rom-com about rival art auctioneers….This enemies-to-lovers tale hits all the right notes.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Mixing love and art might end up being an epic disaster…

…or the beginning of a beautiful collaboration.

If there’s one thing Priya Gupta wants, it’s to land the collection of the year for her family’s NYC auction house, gaining the approval of her father in the process.

Running an extremely close second? For a very small sinkhole to open up under the feet of Gavin Carlyle, her childhood rival turned auction-house competitor, so she never has to see his smug, irritatingly handsome face again.

Neither of those options seem likely, especially since Gavin is dead set on winning the same collection—and his pockets are as deep as his family’s extensive art world connections. Plus, he has charm to spare. Though Priya would walk over hot coals before ever admitting that.

When they are both invited to a posh country estate to spend the week wooing the prospective client, their longtime rivalry creates sparks, all right, just not the kind either Priya or Gavin ever expected…

Search 4 Splendor by L.A. Bockman

About Search 4 Splendor by L.A. Bockman

“Search 4 Splendor” is a lyrical, slightly ghostly, challenging read, for those interested in Humanitarian issues. It weaves its lyrical roots through a myriad of diversely sparkling terrains: Victim/Survivor Rights/Remembrance, Classic Literature, Poetry, Science Fiction, and Outsider Art.

This wildly unconventional, otherworldly, and exploratory, “word-and-paint-brushed novel,” narrated by Life and Literature Loving Millicent Splendor (who strives to honor all Victims and Survivors in the world), is creatively designed to be “two complete books in one”: “Search 4 Splendor, Volume 1: The Search,” and “Search 4 Splendor, Volume II: The Splendor.”

It is an autobiography of the author’s nine year old self (written as she got older), and deals with one person’s humanitarian-aspired interpretation and creative exploration of their own childhood-experiences’ meanings – or does it? Or, does it brush by all experiences within life, at least in the abstract, in its united, interwoven hope to offer compassion to all people in this world—both today and historically, of a variety of things: violence, racism, intolerance, crime, injustice, child abuse, sexual abuse/sexual assault, identity issues, etc.

The author’s fervent hope is for her words and artwork to reach into people’s lives—to encourage her readers to use their own modes of expression, in order to convey their own lives’ experiences. To show that Victims and Survivors of a variety of things (known and unknown things; proven and unproven things) – that they should always be empowered and always permitted to flaunt their words, energies, and creativities, in any way that they desire (i.e., “Victim/Survivor Speak”).

And that Victims and Survivors, along with all Good, Righteous People of all backgrounds, ages, situations, and caliber of experiences (again, today and historically) – that their lives alone, the sacred memories of their lives – and their survivals – are vital to society, vital to every culture’s history, and vital to humankind’s (and every living creature’s) splendorous entirety.

Castles of Literature: Welcome to the Search 4 Splendor literary journey. A journey that travels deep into the lands of “Victim/Survivor Speak” Magic. Explore around the castles of classic literature inspired creative writing–and leave all earthly rules about novels and/or “non-fiction vs. fiction,” behind.

Rays of Sunshine Radiating Across All Kinds of Life Experiences: The sun spills its astronomical warmth. Converging colors into paintings and risk-taking literature. Enter a novel, where the sunshine spills its lemon meringue brushstrokes across even the moonlit chapters it evokes.

Vertically Striped Butterflies Are Still Skilled At Flight: Can a butterfly have stripes? Can puffs of cotton candy clouds float across a muted, once silenced, and otherwise empty sky? Can a book be more than that which is written and typed? Find out, by venturing inside.

To All The Spiked, Shadowy, Electric Gumdrop Remembrances From Childhood – And Slightly Voluptuary-Tinted, Stained-Glass Fragments From An Atypical Adolescence:
A painting is a story splashed with colors; a story is a painting splashed with words. If her “artwork” is an abstracted tribute to Life, than this book is certainly its underpainting.

This book will be free on Amazon Kindle on Friday, October 29, 2021, as well as during the period, November 19, 2021 – November 21, 2021
