"Killer Queens is a new series of historical fiction books based on true stories. The series explores the world of murder in the gay community, whether the victims or the killers themselves, and sometimes both, are homosexual. While the previous books looked at murders in the gay communities of Germany, England, and the United States, this fourth edition of the series visits Canada-a country that has embraced the gay community overall. But how true-to-life is this statement? Canada has been one of the first countries to make it legal to be gay-even legalizing gay marriages and giving same-sex benefits. Yet, when cold-blooded serial killers target the very community, the country says it supports, and law enforcement is found lacking, we have to question the rightfulness of this claim. This book is based on Toronto's Gay Villiage and the few times serial killers reigned terror upon it. As much as this series wants to point out the negative aspects of murders in the gay community in countries that don't respect gay people, it's also important to reveal its effects in countries that seemingly support gay people."
The wealth of wisdom, which sages filled for centuries, that ocean of knowledge is contained in this research oriented scholarly work.
The book is the recording of the interactive genesis of the poetic and the factual in architecture, generated by targeted intuition, so the tangible, materially manifestable result would be really the testimony of its opposite, the ephemeral, infinite space. This genesis is easily readable in the book, even if instead of words, spontaneous or weighted line drawings communicate nonverbal thoughts. The aspects of the Vitruvian 'firmitas' and 'utilitas' have to be also developed the same way, but only 'venustas' awakes awe and delight in our spirit and that is the quality, what these drawn notes are aiming at.Seven examples are narrated in it, one of the twenty-something similar books by the author, with thousands of nonverbal words and sentences in them. His hope is, to legitimize the cognitive and poetic nature of architecture, as well as the method of thinking and communicating with 'written-drawings'. This is the only way, how one can tap into the inexhaustible well of racial memory. Author's ability to produce correctly drawn instantaneous 3D images directly with ink, could be compared only to a musician, with perfect pitch hearing.Design is a mentally and corporally experienced process, which step-by-step evokes the mythology of building, due to the application of the genetic memory of our physical body. Accordingly, architecture, through drawings, in fortuitous cases, through the constructed form, realizes and embodies a philosophy, provided, it investigates the basic questions of knowledge, reality and existence. These are exactly the notions, as the Oxford English Dictionary defines philosophy, and no architect can avoid to give some answers to them during the course of a design. However, by the knowledge of the author - fed by more than fifty years dealing with different aspects of the profession, and being an avid reader - there are no other books, which come even close to the meticulous recording of the creation of our built environment!As a non-fiction book, the general validity of the thoughts contained in it is unquestionable. The fact, that the two of the seven projects are among the other constructed buildings, and in some cases, large urban ensembles, designed by the author, reinforces the importance and applicability of the depicted method!This book is not about architecture, but THIS BOOK IS ARCHITECTURE ITSELF!

Jeremy Robinson's first pulse-pounding horror novel (originally penned under his Jeremy Bishop pseudonym) is a horrific tale of post-apocalyptic terror that is one part zombie story and one part Dante's Inferno. The story asks hard questions and generates strong emotions in everyone who reads it-anger, excitement, and most of all: FEAR. This book asks the question that everyone is afraid to answer: ARE YOU READY? Small town reporter, Mia Durante, finds herself having brunch with the President of the United States on the day civilization comes to an end. An electromagnetic pulse blinds the U.S. Cars crash. Planes fall. Chaos reigns. Power is restored within minutes, but it's already too late. Russian nukes are falling. U.S. allies around the world are already wiped out. The United States will cease to exist inside of five minutes. After giving the order to launch a full-scale retaliation, dooming the planet, the president, his staff, Secret Service and those lucky enough to be visiting the White House, are whisked below ground, where they board several Earth Escape Pods. As the EEPs launch into Earth orbit, missiles descend. Less than forty survive the end of the world. When they return, they're greeted by survivors of a different sort. The bloodbath that follows leaves Durante and nine other survivors on the run. They find themselves fighting for survival in a world in which only torment remains and where death is the only escape.

I grew up with a learning disability, in addition to the trauma from the emotional and physical abuse carried out by my own mother and family members. The hands that were supposed to protect me as a child were the same hands responsible for my suffering, hurt and pain. I had such anger and hate toward my mother for everything she did to me. My life was complex from day one. My pain fuelled my rage, and my rage came out in fights. If I wasn't in a fight, I was starting one. Programs and counselling never helped me because I wasn't ready to heal. I did what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it. Being exposed to the justice system at a young age, I saw the police in my home way too often. How could a mother do something like this to her own child and not care? My father was a case by himself. Where was he anyway? A caged bird is how I used to describe myself but ironically, at other times, I felt like a superhero for my brothers and sisters. Maybe it was all the chores I had to do that made me feel invincible. But still, I was a confused child, and feelings of doubt and neglect often plagued my mind. That said, if there was one thing I knew for certain, it was the fact that I would never be like my mother. I may have been a product of my mother, but who she was didn't make me who I am today. And it never could.
