Twelve-year-old Lilia is not a very good servant. In fact, she's terrible! She daydreams, she breaks dishes, and her cooking is awful. Still, she hardly deserves to be sold off to the mean-spirited miller and his family. Refusing to accept that dreadful fate, she decides to flee. With her best friend, Kai, and his sister, Karina, beside her, Lilia heads north to find the family she's never known. But danger awaits. . . . As their quest leads the threesome through the mysterious and sinister Bitra Forest, they suddenly realize they are lost in the elves' domain. To Lilia's horror, Kai falls under an enchantment cast by the Elf King's beautiful daughter. The only way for Lilia to break the spell and save Kai is to find a jewel of ancient power that lies somewhere in the North Kingdoms. Yet the jewel will not be easy to find. The castle where it is hidden has been overrun with princess hopefuls trying to pass a magical test that will determine the prince's new bride. Lilia has only a few days to search every inch of the castle and find the jewel—or Kai will be lost to her forever.

The eldest daughter of the Times Square “King of Porn,” Romola Hodas recounts her chaotic childhood amid the turmoil of publically growing up as the daughter of the man who almost single-handedly built New York City’s pornography and adult entertainment empire from the 1960s to the 1980s before his spectacular and public fall from grace. Behind the salacious headlines, Marty’s family paid a terrible price. In her shockingly honest, no-holds-barred memoir, Romola describes hanging out as a child in her father’s porn shops on 42nd Street and meeting the eclectic clientele who frequented the stores, making friends with the girls who performed live sex acts on stage, and spying on her parents’ sex orgies and crazy all-night swinger parties. Romola relates, in moving detail, how she cared for her three younger siblings when her brilliant, bipolar mother broke with reality, and how she survived verbal, physical, and emotional abuse; a year in reform school; her father’s three stints in prison; two kidnapping attempts by the mob (one while at summer fat camp); and how her baby brother, Jarrett, actually was briefly kidnapped by mobsters wanting to send Marty Hodas a clear, unambiguous message. For all its darkness, The Princess of 42nd Street is, at its heart, an uplifting and inspirational story of how one young woman overcame incredible odds to become a successful businesswoman who now devotes her life to helping others. Raw, unflinching, and devoid of self-pity, The Princess of 42nd Street is a one-of-a-kind story.

This story is about a group of teenagers, six girls and one boy, who become involved with the beginnings of the fulfillment of a very old prophecy. This book follows the day to day lives of the group of girls as they travel on a passenger/cargo ship to the planet Olatha. This is a story about life, so there are boring repetitions, laughter, conflicts, arguments and sexual intimacy. The initial character, Diane Lin Sussette, was intrigued by the prophecy that she came upon, but she hadn't any idea how it would affect her personally.

This book will take you on a journey of revelation like no other, involving the deliverance of many well-known individuals who were stranded in darkness due to their lack of knowledge of who they were, their life choices, and their delinquencies in choosing this day whom they would serve. They discovered too late that it matters what choices you make while living and that it is the difference between life everlasting and eternal separation from God. The good news is what happened when they met the author of this book and were delivered from evil. Please tell me your name, I asked one day as a soul attached to my energy field, looking for guidance home. I heard a name that was familiar to me and to many, many others in the world. His name was Ronald Reagan. I asked Ronald Reagan why it was that he was coming to me, for I thought him to be a man of faith. He simply told me that, sadly, he did not know God as I did and he did not serve God as I did while he was the president of the United States. To Ronald, this was a mistake, and he was apologetic about this lack of leadership in the nation that was called by its name because it was so named by the choice of the true commander-in-chief, Alejandro. Yes, Alejandro, for this is the name that is above every other name under heaven and on earth, and it has been lost to the multitudes due to endless times under captivity of His people where they were not allowed to call upon His name and they did forget His name days without number. It is His will that I, for the first time in eons, bring to the surface for enlightenment of His people once again his beloved name. There is no other name above His name, and He cherishes the sound of it. If you wish to verify His name, as I did, I recommend devotion to Him in the form of fasting, for I did fast forty days faithfully without food, only consuming water, for the sole purpose of discovering His hidden name. For the biblical record is clear that His name was forgotten by His people and the scholars over the years, and the people were not allowed access to their scriptures while in captivity, nor were they allowed to sing the songs of their praise to their God as is recorded in the psalms.

Each murder trial brings its own tangle of evidence, legal parameters, medical factors, social circumstances, and personalities. The tangle gets trickier when we must keep in mind that: "A person shall not be criminally responsible for an act or omission if they suffer from a mental disorder such that they were not able to appreciate the nature and quality of their act or to know that it was wrong." Forensic Psychiatrist Stanley Semrau takes us through some of the more terrible and fascinating tales from his career and from historical sources, including several cases that came to national attention: Clifford Olson and Terry Driver (The Abbotsford Killer) and the Daniel McNaughten case that marked the beginning of the insanity defense in Britain in 1843. These chilling and thought-provoking stories delve deep into the psychiatric aspects of homicide law and into the psychology of the muderous mind. Semrau’s examination of these thrilling cases also offers a critique of the existing laws in Canada as he argues for profound changes.
