Adventures With An Interdimensional Psychopath: An Introduction To Madness By: Wayne Keeler The Author Wayne Keeler wanted to challenge the impossible and to try and open the imagination of people to see possibilities and think outside the box. The author is an advent philosopher and one strong theory that he mulls around thinking about is the Alternate Dimensional theory, which basically states that when a decision is made, infinite and endless possibilities branch off, creating alternate worlds that can vary either very drastically or very minimally. The only thing that limits the possibilities is one’s own imagination. But, while this can be a dual edged sword, this can also lead to truly wondrous and beautiful ideas that can bring about a beautiful world. Join Lily Extravagund on her adventure with an interdimensional psychopath to see the worlds in a new light. Lily Extravagund was a normal girl, studying and preparing for her future in the upper echelon. A simple tool to be used to help her sister get a step higher, until she runs into a complete and utter strange stranger. When she confronts them, it’s at this moment that when her world gets turned upside down and inside out. When things start looking up, they immediately spiral in ways beyond imagination. When her life hits the lowest possible point, the stranger intervenes again to introduce her to new possibilities that changes her life forever. With these changes, she could never go back to seeing how things were again.

After reading the novel DEEP BLUE, don’t miss three exciting short stories featuring shark researcher Dr. Grace Mann and her boyfriend, underwater filmmaker Alec Galloway. DEEP BLUE AUSTRALIA When Grace accompanies Alec to Western Australia for a commercial shoot with great whites, she envisions relaxing days in the sun and smoldering nights between the sheets. But as Alec’s mood becomes increasingly distant, Grace worries the chemistry they shared—so effortless in the beginning—was starting to fizzle. Is his reticence related to her, or something else? And can she find a way to help him get the footage he needs before his behavior places his life in danger? DEEP BLUE REUNION ISLAND Grace joins Alec on a trip to the French island of Réunion. Alec and his team—Dan “Double D” Donovan and Stephie Kim—are documenting the capture and relocation of mature bull sharks from the western coastline. For over ten years, shark attacks have terrorized the people of Réunion, essentially ruining the diving and surfing industry. The relocation program is a last-ditch effort to bring a peaceful coexistence between humans and sharks, but Grace’s resolve is tested as she enters the water with these tenacious predators. Bull sharks didn’t earn their name because they were polite. DEEP BLUE COCOS ISLAND Grace is invited to participate in a documentary alongside several distinguished female marine scientists, and Alec, Double D, and Stephie come along to film them in the waters off Cocos Island near Costa Rica. Grace is still dealing with recent criticism of the film Alec made of her last year diving with great white sharks, and in the company of such accomplished women, she struggles to keep her insecurities at bay. When differing viewpoints lead to friction, Grace must learn to stand up for herself, but a bright spot emerges when Alec makes a surprise decision about their relationship.

From August 1965 to February 1968, during his period of service in Australia, Ambassador Edward Clark traveled in that country as no other American and probably few Australians ever have. His wife, Anne Clark, traveled with him, then wrote her observations and impressions to friends and family in the United States. Her letters, published for the first time in this volume, reveal the isolations and involvements as well as the opportunities and the pleasures of embassy life. The etiquette of official functions at times posed problems, as in the Clarks' first black-tie dinner with the Acting Governor General, where Mrs. Clark was supposed to curtsy. "Some Ambassadors feel strongly that the representative of the President of the United States should never bend his knee (or rather his wife's) to any man. Mrs. Battle, wife of our predecessor ... put the question directly to President Kennedy. His answer to her was, 'Curtsy you must, but keep a stiff upper knee.'" Soon, Anne Clark realized that the routine of appearances and entertainments was constant: "I do not know when I will make peace with the schedule. I am a slave to the little black book that is my calendar." In addition to the intricacies of embassy life, the Clarks encountered much that was unfamiliar—new people, almost a new language, new flowers, new animals—even a sky with its new moon upside down. But their warm hospitality and genuine interest in things Australian attracted friends throughout the continent. Figures from the government, the church, the diplomatic circle, and everyday life, plus well-known guests from home, all become known to the reader in this perceptive account of official life from the inside.
