Don’t open this book unless you’re ready for a potent uncut reality from the perspective of an unbiased source, the victim. This book is designed to answer the questions or give insight into the ways some of us had to think from the inside from a survival standpoint and for those on the outside that have the questions of where this type of thinking came from so they can understand what the problem really is while providing therapy for both sides as well as a potential solution for all. This is a platform for understanding the forced reality—that’s the fact that it takes a village to tend to this properly. So I’m taking this fight head-on.

Gregg Rush was a factory worker, a gifted but unpublished writer, living and working near a small city in the Midwest. Gregg believed he had landed upon a concept, beautiful yet monstrous, sacred but corrupt, an antinomy, deeply buried within the core fabric of human nature. His journey led him into intriguing and mysterious corners, places that would steal his faith, his sanity, and ultimately, his life. This dark, contemporary novel explores the minds and experiences of broken women, born beautiful, but then corrupted by childhood incest. Gregg calls this species, daughters of Venus, dazzling and irresistible, but voracious and lethal to their prey. This chronicle exposes elements of the soul hidden from most by nature, and for good reason. In the end, the reader will be left spinning, caught in the web of the narrative, wondering if the concepts are fictional or not. Use discernment. Fact and fantasy walk a razors edge.

An English backpacker heads north for sun, women and a shot at making a fortune working the prawn trawlers. Mick is looking for adventure, but hitching a ride with the enigmatic Dan leads him into more trouble and depravity than even the most reckless traveller could stomach. As the pair speed their way through the apocalyptic landscape, in a spiral of escalating violence, Dan reveals the world as seen through his eyes, and exposes Mick’s true nature. A gripping tale of two men—one struggling to become a man and the other with the cruelest of intentions—and a game of psychological cat-and-mouse, Babylon takes you to the edge, and never brings you back.

Picking up where Jonathan Shaw's critically-acclaimed Scab Vendor: Confessions of a Tattoo Artist left off, Homeward Bound resumes the story of Cigano, the tattoo man. Cigano continues his full-body tattoo work on a young acolyte, Jaco, who eagerly soaks up his tales. Homeward Bound continues charting the amazing course of a life measured in extremes and all the singular people, exotic places, and outrageous events that shaped it into a survivor's tale of epic proportions. In its pages, Shaw takes the reader deeper than ever before, not only into the bizarre recesses of his extraordinary mind and incredible adventures, but also into the strange and magical process of memoir writing itself. Homeward Bound is proof positive that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. As Shaw's old friend and literary mentor Charles Bukowski once told him, most of this book would have to be lived before it could be written. In that sense, Homeward Bound is much more than a compelling, page-turning chronicle of a popular working-class hero's creative evolution. It is a multicolored, cinematic modern-day Odyssey, written in blood, ink and tears - a kaleidoscopic, visionary roadmap to the journey of the human soul.

My Life in Shoes By: Sherinee’ This book chronicles the life of a fictional character named Chastity Barnes. Chastity isn’t your average Southern girl. She’s gorgeous, her IQ is off the charts, and she knows how to hustle. But even for a brilliant girl like Chastity, the world can be full of danger and heartbreak.

Chastity grows as a result of her struggles and isn’t crippled by them. This book began as a submission for a final project in the author’s senior year of college at Tulane University, originally entitled Tears of Chastity. Sherinee’ received an A- with an inscription from the professor that she would love to see this novel fully developed and encouraged the author to continue writing. That professor was Anne Rice, a.k.a. the Vampire Lady.
