It all begins with a blank page and a real-life coping problem. What ends up on the page and how much it helps you cope depends on two things: how hard you're willing to work, and how honest you can be with who and what you really are. You will be asked to take a hard look at yourself to see what tools you already have to help you find a way to peace of mind in the midst of an ever changing universe where you must quickly adapt or die. These gifts are simple things like the love of figuring out stuff on your own, a great sense of humor about life, a curious mind. The combination you have is unique to you and the beginnings of putting together your coping tool box. As it turns out, perception is not reality; only reality is reality. Perception is your mind getting fooled by a bunch of facts that seem to add up to more than they really do.

Billionaire Joshua Pierce has a reputation for being powerful and arrogant—both in the business world and on a personal level. He knows exactly what he wants, and he will stop at nothing until he acquires it. But his control has been shaken since the moment Lizzie St. John, a gorgeous, sexy blond with a wicked smile and eyes that would make any man weak in the knees, entered his life. That one indulgent night changed both their lives, igniting a passion that that’s still burning nine months later. But now she’s refusing his advances and his calls, with good reason—after the events of that night, she knows she can’t trust him. Lizzie St. John has had bad luck with men. First, her father disowned her for following her dream and not his. Then her ex-boyfriend stole from her. And now, the owner of her building has told her he’s selling and she only has seven days to come up with an outrageous amount of money if she wants to keep her business. That night with Joshua Pierce had given her a chance to break away, to forget. The moment Josh had touched her, there was no turning back. But then he’d shown her he was just like the others. Now he’s trying to prove he’s different. Could she give him a second chance, finally open her heart and trust again?

Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez's The Blair Witch Project seemingly appeared from nowhere to become one of 1999's highest grossing films. While generating revenue as a low budget movie backed by a media blitz, The Blair Witch Project also generated controversy and made a mockery of the Hollywood industry, billing itself as "real" footage of a supernatural event. Critics were divided over some of the most basic questions: whether the film was an artistic success or the product of its hype, for example, and whether it challenged Hollywood conventions or succumbed to them in the end. Nothing That Is: The Blair Witch Controversies examines these and other debates, and initiates some of its own about American taste for horror, hoax, independent films, the Internet, and the direction of cinema in the twenty-first century. The book explores the modest origins and rapid demise of this independent film- while also analyzing the sensational results of its broad media discourses--a Web site developing the back story of The Blair Witch Project was one of the most-accessed sites on the entire Internet at the time of the movie's release. These essays, from many diverse perspectives, also look at The Blair Witch Project's manipulation of cinematic codes, its view on technology and the occult, its film progenitors, and even its effects on the film's setting of Burkittsville, Maryland. Nothing That Is will interest both film scholars and fans of this unexpected blockbuster that emerged from, if not "nothing," a complex brew of culture, technology, and ingenuity.

Okay..in my first book "MARCH OF THE COOKIE CUTTERS" I gave you reality- and only half of you could handle it. Some could grasp it, and others had to bail out back into their little fantasy world. Most of you were okay with it until it got to the part that you, yourselves, were guilty of..then you jettisoned out of the picture. You'd think that by now you'd be sick of the 'America the Great' bull@#$% DEGREES that they're jamming down your throat. Only half of you actually are, however. It's time for you to wake up and realize what we have become. In this book "THE LORDS OF NOTHING" I'm going to give you your medicine in the candy. I'm going to give it to you in sci-fi form, instead. You people love fantasy; maybe you can grasp it in this form this easier. If you want the truth about what we are.and you have the guts--then read my books. So many of you don't want to be told what to do. You're so worried about socialism. You forget something..and that is that 'The Socialist in the Sky'...God, Himself, will judge you for everything that you do. Oh--by the way..the women that are hooking up with the massive influx of garbage men that are here now in massive numbers--WERE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE THAT HAS FALLEN TO PREVENT THESE IDIOTS FROM REPRODUCING MORE OF THEMSELVES Bad dads mean bad kids..period. You women complain that there aren't enough good men. Correct..there isn't a lot of good men. So who are these 100 million women married to? Why----let's see--duh---oh I get it..the bad ones Ta da What a profound thought on my part--huh? Two stupid parents are not better than one good parent.. as you have already sadly found out. What part of your life is quality? Is it the one where you go to work, and wear the 'Urban Gimp Suit' (cliche business suit)? Is it the part where you spend one half of an hour eating dinner with family? Is it the part right after that when you go into separate rooms to worship the decadence of the now maligned format of the 'Plasma Gods' (TV sets)? Is it when you go to sleep and 'dream' about great conquests? Most of this country's great victories are someone else's on a TV screen.. because most of you have made no life of your own. We've traded ethics, nobility and morals for superficial entertainment and money. Time to take back the country. This is my second venture into writing. My first book "MARCH OF THE COOKIE CUTTERS" was embraced by those with vision, and denied and scoffed at by those that were actually living out that lifestyle, themselves. The truth about the reality of their situation was too scary a place for them to go to. I am nearing the 'Big 50' now and my convictions for writing these ideas are stronger than ever. There have simply been too many visionaries out there that have seen the truth about what we have become.and all too clearly. I continue to be totally honest with you people--with zero coloration of the sad facts that are at hand. I promised myself in the beginning to never waver from the truth, and I will forever uphold to that principle. Luckily for me I do not have to deal with the large contingency of these perpetrators in my personal life. I am surrounded by, or have surrounded myself by the very good people that we still have.. Thank God Nothing of which I write about is based on any bitterness from personal experiences. I have a great family, and I have great friends. However, the problem people that I write about are now in massive numbers. My books are an attempt to dispel the myths and false mist that so many of us now exist in. So many of us are now just clone-copies of everybody else. We have almost forgot how to be sincere. We are losing our way. We must try to get back on the right track, and make America the great nation that it once was.
