Sugar Cube: A Mafia/Benedict Novel


A mob boss fights to get his kidnapped son back, just as the FBI are trying to put him on trial.

Sal Benedict has become one of the most powerful mob bosses of all time. He's an understated man who lives frugally with his wife. But he's also highly temperamental, and he's about to confront an issue that'll make him go through the roof.
Someone has kidnapped his son Johnny, a gifted young student at Harvard Medical School. The Irish mob has been taking family members of Italian gangsters for some time, but no one has been dumb enough before to sign their own death warrant like this. How will Sal get Johnny back, and fend off Thorson Kincaid of the FBI - with whom he's been playing a 'cat and mouse' game - at the same time? The feds want to put Sal behind bars, and they've chosen the worst time possible - for Sal, that is - to do it.

Nokio Book I The Boy's Dream

(Nokio Book Series 1)

Nokio Book I: The Boy's Dream is an uplifting story that reflects the love of God through fictional characters and events. The book delivers a religious, breathtaking, thrilling, loving, and comedic story. It also sets a firm foundation for what Christians should strive for in their spiritual walk with God. The country of Bell-Skia is home to the "second-chance users," who stop crimes and uphold the virtues of righteousness. Little do they know that their moments of peace will soon cease due to the dreaded desires of Doctor Z. A young second-chance user called Nokio must face Dr. Z once he realizes the true meaning of his cap, where his hope comes from, and the shards of the broken past. Nokio plans to bring "Heaven on Earth," not in his own power but through the power of God.

Alongside Nokio are his brothers in Christ, Kenji Satinuki and Dylan Maxstar. They both attend the same school as Nokio and wish to spread the Word of God to others they come across. Join Nokio and friends as they battle evil second-chance users who surround Doctor Z.

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture, Life…

 

Book Cover

The New PSYCHOLOGY:

A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture, Life… 




     480 Pages, 8.5X11” Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of our mind.


     Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused “witch” was brought into the room, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped. A chill went up their spine, the girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!” 


     We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder, a scary “Chucky” doll, and more. This is basic to understanding how our brain works in dealing with anxiety, depression, politics, love, sex, interpersonal relations, and life.


     PSYCHOLOGY CONTROLS THE BIOLOGY OF OUR BRAIN. Knowing how this works is essential to understanding how our mind works. The failure to understand that has led to the media's preoccupation with claiming it is all in your DNA or biochemistry; a media preoccupied with the magic words of DNA and biochemicals in the brain cannot grasp a deeper level of understanding.


      The same psychology that controlled the emotions of the people of Salem, also controls our fears and anxiety, our depression and worries, our hope and success, and our very perception of reality, to this day.  Understanding this, gives us the potential to control our own mind.  To not understand this, is a failure of our educational system and our society.


      We will learn nothing from conditioning a dog to salivate to a bell, or memorizing CS, CR, UCS, and UCR; it will be excreted by our mind as soon as we walk out the door.  But we will remember how the Russians trained dogs to kill tanks in WWII and why this applies to the Kamikaze pilots, the suicide terrorists of 9/11, today’s politics, and interactions with others (see p. 156-and chapters 8-11). From those stories, we hope to have formed an understanding of how we know what we know about the mind.


      We may not remember the subtle force of words associated with emotion, but we will remember why a man who lived in a hole in the ground, eating rats, for 30 years, received “over 100 marriage proposals from awestruck women.”  Yes, really (p. 158).  We will learn why one of Picasso’s paintings recently sold at Sotheby’s auction for 157 million dollars, while the same painting with your name on it would ruin the value of the canvas it was painted on (p.167).  They will remember why Scarlett Johansson’s “snot” sold for $5,300 on eBay.  Yes, really (p. 158).  


     The “New” in this approach involves integrating history, culture (Ch 9), perception (see p.189-197 on 3D images inside the brain), and life as an essential basis of understanding how the mind works (Ch. 2, 9, 10, and 17), and weaving together the threads that run through all the approaches into a more comprehensive whole (Ch 1-23).


     These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how the mind works. Welcome to the deep woods...

Darkness - After the Fall: Dark Fantasy in a Dystopian Future

 

Book Cover

Darkness - After the Fall:

Dark Fantasy in a Dystopian Future


Embla, second planet from the Sun. A planet where dusk till dawn takes 56 days. City Six, with its 230 million inhabitants, is a city dominated by the Dark mage guilds because light cannot penetrate the depths of a city the height of a mountain. In a city with no laws, a conflict is brewing.

A battle mage retires to a life of asceticism and research, searching for answers in the Darkness. A young Dark mage comes in to her power. A Light mage team journeys from their stronghold by the sun to spy upon the Dark mages. A young pilot ekes out a living on the fringes of interstellar transport. A Life mage searches for a key to power. Together their lives head towards an inexorable crescendo, as the powers of Dark and Light grapple for control of the system. The debut novel in the series "After the Fall" has a diverse cast of protagonists and antagonists, often without clear delineations between the two camps. It's queer, it's brutal, at times sexual, and we'd like to imagine that you'll find it thoughtful. Backgrounds and perspectives span the full spectrum of the rainbow, but it's not a bright and light take on the future. We hope you'll feel both joy and sorrow reading it.
