Swedish-born DI Inga Larsson stood in the barn that chilly morning looking down at the body of the poor young wretch. It may now be a world of phones that are too smart and Beats headphones, of kissy-kissy greetings and social media the British public get fussed about. But in some aspects, life has not changed one iota. Being dead is still as dead as it has always been. Two squabbling factions come to the attention of Larsson and her team - not the usual hoodlums or drug gangs. These two outfits are Lincoln's amateur dramatic groups, both overflowing with odd balls, antagonistic miscreants, and eccentrics who refuse to see eye-to-eye. As Larsson digs deeper, she comes face-to-face with homophobic and racist attitudes, with unadulterated snootiness served as a side dish. Has an innocent young woman become embroiled in their dispute in the name of art and paid the price with her life? As Shakespeare put it: Murder most foul, as in the best it is; But this most foul, strange, and unnatural.

Part of our socialization is the urge to perform. We perform images of ourselves for others. For some, the urge is so great and the talent sufficient that we become performers. Performance Art is a series of short stories about performers and performances that are extreme—fire-eaters, knife-throwers, stand-up comedians, escape-artists, weight-loss artists—why we watch them, and why they do what they do. David Kranes dives into the inner lives of these risk-takers, exploring the allures and the costs of “performance.” His characters are unpredictable, quirky, and sometimes bizarre, but Kranes also reveals their humanity and insecurities. The result is a collection that is engagingly unique, sometimes comical, ironic, heart-tugging, and full of unexpected insights and delights.

If only people could be more like books. In that they would give the information we want to know without the information that will make us feel bad. There are so many perfect places to start that there is even no need to continue past this sentence. Anyway, thus saith a poet/punster/poopoo-er who keeps starting over, which is the nature of writing poetry. The only art you can't do fast if you have to is poetry. It's God making us compulsive rhymers. Because God loves everyone. (We have to love the very same bastards.) Humans, however, have all the easy chores: poverty, crime, disease. God has the hard one: how to bring all people to get along together. Poetry is not the same as lyrics. Poetry is simple self-love; lyrics, the poet wanting others to love, where words are made to sing without music. But submitting poetry is also the storm warning before rejection. Although just because one never finishes anything doesn't mean he shouldn't be starting things. After all, what's the verb for what you do?

Fear. This one small word is responsible for destroying relationships, choking off success, and preventing any number of positive changes. Unfortunately, until the root cause of the fear is addressed, it will continue to control decision-making processes and taint the way we see the world. Dr. Casalnnie Henry confronts this issue head-on in Avoiding the Fear Trap, a book that will teach you how to find relief from the fear that follows you throughout your day. Using brief but comprehensive descriptions of basic psychological concepts, Avoiding the Fear Trap covers all levels of relationships including individual, familial, and much bigger groups such as your place of employment (corporate) and national. Politicians and corporations alike have used fear to manipulate and control the public as a way to affect their decisions and behavior, but you can be free from that. Don't let fear immobilize you! Combining his Christian faith and years of experience, Dr. Henry has developed a healing technique called Spiritual Euphoric Therapy. It is a therapeutic process that teaches individuals and organizations how to overcome fear and delivers hope for the fearful using powerful Christian counseling principles. This new therapy will help you understand yourself better as well as why others behave the way they do. Learn the secret to Avoiding the Fear Trap and live a more productive life.
