"Still the biggest fan of capitalism, just not in its current form is all."
Thirteen-year-old Puckett Cornelius Jones believes there's more to life than what he sees around him. He doesn't like school, he's tired of eating dinner out of a can, and he's tired of the news on TV. Of course, he's never been to Orr where the breezes are fresh and sweet, the trees are a bit strange, and you can create weengbeeng. He's never been to a place where you can shoot Wrawls and Skyrunners in the clouds, or where you and your friends can be turned into tarantulas, eaten by Mole Goblins, or transformed into Dark Ones and batwolves. But Puckett's life is about to take a curious and deadly turn. His refusal to accept darkness and fear . . . and his deep yearning to know himself . . . are about to be challenged. Puckett's story begins when he sees the ghostly image of an old man beckoning to him above a blackened pool . . .
As the century evolves with many new trends, society has the natural tendency to change with the times. Even so the church world does the same. We have gotten away from traditional, foundational. Biblical truths, especially when it comes to exalting and expressing the power of the blood of Jesus. This book is designed to enlighten us of the truths within the scripture that expose the devil and his deceptive vices to keep us in the dark. He wants to suppress the power of Jesus' blood, because this is what gives us victory over him, his demons and imps. It is because of the blood that we become a threat to the powers of darkness; a force to be reckoned with.
A People''s Poet With Perfect Pitch The first of a three-part collection of pieces from award-winning poet Adam Stohlman, this diverse and intriguing compilation of thirty poems, Noeo, Book I, displays Stohlman''s mastery of language and lyricism, structure and style, as well as his steadfast insistence upon honesty and meaning in his work. Stohlman has been described as "insightful, intuitive and evocative in his imagery," "a strikingly versatile worker of words," and "a modern-day McKuen with a touch of Frost, a dash of Donne and an echo of ee cummings thrown in." His poetry has been called "refreshingly clear, concise and concrete, yet elegant, lyrical and compelling." His range is vast, both in style and subject matter.As a poet, Stohlman asserts that truth is objective, not subjective. It is only our individual experience that is subjective. Truth is absolute and universal. It is at those moments in our lives when objective truth meets with our subjective experience that we must either reconcile our experience with the truth, or find that our experience confirms the truth--whatever that truth may be. There are no other alternatives. Stohlman submits that it is at this point, where our subjective experience meets with objective truth, that what we call "meaning" is born. As a result, he holds that the poet''s primary duty is to seek out truth, reconcile or confirm that truth via his own experience, and then share with others the meaning he has found in it. Stohlman fulfills this high calling magnificently in Noeo with a now moving, now provocative, now beguiling dexterity.Noeo, Book I is comprised of pieces written throughout the poet''s life, and serves as a stunning introduction to the varied, thoughtful, fanciful and meaningful moments of Stohlman''s personal experience, raised to a level that is universally relatable to all of us. Noeo, Book II is a thematic collection centered on wistful reminiscence, contrite religious reflection, and profound loss, with its many attendant emotional ramifications. Noeo, Book III is focused intently on love, from its light and playful beginnings to its ethereal nature, to its intimate passion, and finally, to its highest spiritual and eternal form. Unquestionably, Noeo, whether in Book I, II or III, is a thoroughly engaging assemblage of literary accomplishments that will intrigue, delight and entertain you, while provoking you to reflect more deeply upon your own personal experiences and the meaning that may be found in them. Get your copy of Noeo, Book I today, and discover why a growing number of readers are fast becoming fans of this amazingly talented yet easily accessible American poet, Adam Stohlman, and why they have been so eager for the release of Noeo, Book I. After taking pleasure in this exceptional poetic work for yourself, you too will be looking forward with similarly keen enthusiasm to the upcoming releases of Noeo, Book II and Book III.

"What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas" is a humorous caricature of Sin City often laced with sexual innuendos that had thrust young lovers John and Sylvia headlong into this city of temptation. The "Poker Rush" was at its all time high at the World Series Tournament in Las Vegas. Its gazillion bright lights - a beacon to the downtrodden economy's lofty hopefuls, whom were preyed upon by the sly James Foxwoods of the world! Just like the olden times of California's Gold Rush, John perceived it to be a get-rich-quick life of luxury, not just for himself but more so, especially for his childhood sweetheart, Sylvia. Sadly, John learned the hard way what every savvy poker player was perfectly aware of; that being mathematically sound in poker was just part of the "equation" of a successful poker career. He soon discovered that it's also a game ruled by emotions and random chance, and that sometimes the mathematically sound decision wasn't necessarily the best one, especially if love is what's at stake. Alas, the proverbial "House of Cards" on which their dreams were flimsy built on had finally fallen and crumbled, leaving in its wake a chaotic dusty trail of the telltale signs of shattered hopes and love gone awry.
