In this updated edition, a psychologist offers an unbiased look inside Ohio’s death row and the personal perspectives of inmates facing execution. In Watch Me Die, Dr. Bill Kimberlin explores the grim realities of death row in Ohio and across America. He spends time interviewing inmates and eating meals with them. In some cases, he is the last person to speak with them before they die. From the moment they are placed on suicide watch until the moment they are executed, Kimberlin follows their twisted and complex journey through the execution process. Through open and intimate conversation, Kimberlin earns the trust of many high-level and violent offenders. He shares their unfiltered thoughts and feelings as revealed to him through their writings, their artwork, and their own words. He also shares his own fears and concerns as he shares space with unconstrained individuals who have taken countless lives. This newly revised edition includes a “Where Are They Now?” section, updating the reader on which inmates have faced their execution, which inmates are still counting their days, and who else has asked Kimberlin to watch them die.

The lowly security guard jumps at the opportunity to fulfill his private eye fantasies and use everything he's learned from Spenser, Magnum, and Mannix. But things don't exactly go according to the books . . . or the reruns. As Harvey fumbles and stumbles through his first investigation, he discovers that the differences between fiction and reality can be deadly. With the help of his mortgage-broker neighbor and occasional lover Carol, Harvey uncovers a blackmail plot that takes a sudden and unexpectedly tragic turn . . . plunging him into a world of violence, deception, and murder . . . and forcing him to discover what it really takes to be a private eye.Lee Goldberg is a two-time Edgar Award nominee whose many TV writing and/or producing credits include "Martial Law," "Diagnosis Murder," "The Cosby Mysteries," "Hunter," "Spenser: For Hire," "Nero Wolfe," "Missing," and "Monk."

"Leslie Heywood weaves deftly and powerfully between contemporary cultural analysis, literary criticism, and her own experiences as a postmodern/female body. The result is a work that is both critically acute and vibrating with emotional energy and insight, a work that itself constitutes a promise of new life in the 'anorexic' culture she so sharply diagnoses and interprets."--Susan Bordo, author of Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body "Though Dedication to Hunger is a brilliant book of literary criticism, it is also far more than that. It is a challenging work that should be widely read by all those interested in the underlying assumptions that define our culture."--J. Hillis Miller, author of The Ethics of Reading

From the author dubbed "a literary Lolita" by Vanity Fair comes the perfect portrait of a young actress caught in a downward spiral of self-destruction. Edgy and funny at the same time, Thin Skin provides a realistic glimpse into the dark and inviting world of fame from the writer who penned Namedropper when she was just twenty-one. Everyone thinks Ruby is beautiful except for Ruby, who is so hell-bent on being ugly that she's driven away the man who loves her, the agent who swears he could have made her a star, and the delectable male costar of her latest project, Mean People Suck. After all, Ruby believes that what's going on outside should reflect what's on the inside -- and inside she's a mess. Burned-out at the age of twenty, she's living alone in a world of hotels and fast food -- none of which she keeps down -- haunted by the memory of her childhood love, cutting herself, and tempted to repeat her mother's tragic fate. She needs to find a new way of being....and fast.

ONEO is one of the most influential and inspiring spiritual awakening journeys you will ever read. From despair to enlightenment, every sentence rings with honesty and bravery the details and description of his Consciousness awakening are unbelievable; you are right there when this happens. ONEO is a true story about unconditional love and how a single random act of kindness can save someone's life. Cornelius Christopher courageously opens up his life to the world to show how we urgently need to change the way we treat one another and ourselves. The depth with which he shares unspeakable accounts on how society creates an abused child who later becomes a suicidal adult is beyond imaginable, beyond words, beyond anything you have ever read before. The story begins the moment Cornelius experiences what physicists call a quantum superposition, during which he is forced to watch his funeral and the heart-wrenching scene of his wife finding him dying from his future suicide. From there, the roller coaster ride continues, moving the captivated reader from moments that are painfully honest, gritty and raw, to scenes that are heartwarming, romantic and laugh-out-loud funny. Through a perplexing series of unfolding events following his quantum superposition, Cornelius discovers newfound abilities, including his continuous connection with Consciousness and a gift for healing. While healing his wife, Cornelius is shown a vision and channeled by Collective Consciousness to write his life story and share the knowledge he gained from his Consciousness awakening with the world. ONEO is more than an autobiography; it’s a must-read for anyone wanting to learn how to escape their emotional and physical pain or be free of the ego by learning to expand their Consciousness and raise their vibrations. It is a valuable, in-depth, self-help resource of eye-opening truths about reality and how we can influence it to improve our lives by realising our power of choice in every moment of Now. "Prepare yourself for your spiritual awakening."
