ONE TOUCH AND HE KNOWS ALL YOU KNOW It all starts with a touch. A brush of a hand, a casual bump of an arm, a firm handshake—that's all it takes for Jaylin Rowlin to absorb everything you know and everything you are, and you have no idea it's happening. Operating under the codename "Evergreen," Jaylin uses his gifts to make a living from the city's seedy underworld, but his only goal is to stay free and stay alive. He's developed a habit of constant paranoia—never sleeping in the same space twice, always disappearing into the crowded streets of Manhattan. When a stranger hires him to take on an impossible task for an unbelievable payday, Jaylin suddenly finds himself in a world filled with corporate espionage, international intrigue, and a very real and deadly danger that could threaten billions of lives. There are people who know what Jaylin can do. And they will stop at nothing to control him. AND HIS ONLY ALLIES ARE ALL IN HIS HEAD.
John Russell has been a highly regarded professional psychic for almost fifty years, reading for thousands of clients in over thirty countries around the world. As a paranormal investigator, he has physically experienced over eight hundred paranormal manifestations. A Knock in the Attic: True Ghost Stories & Other Spine-chilling Paranormal Adventures is his story, not only about his psychic awakening and the abundance of mind-blowing otherworldly confrontations he’s experienced but also about the point at which he lost his faith and gave up on himself, his psychic gifts, and the beings on the Other Side. But they didn't give up on him. A prequel of sorts to Russell’s first book, Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead, A Knock in the Attic begins with his first paranormal experience when he was five years old and follows the highlights of his development as a psychic and paranormal investigator into adulthood, explaining what it’s like to grow up psychic, to be inundated with real spiritual experiences, and, yes, sometimes even to question your spiritual gifts and the guidance from the Other Side.

Once upon a time, I thought love was a fairytale. I thought selling myself to a mafia boss was noble. So what if they called him the Beast? I grew up in rags, and he would lift me to riches. All I had to do was give him my soul. He was punishing. Insatiable. Captivating. Nothing like I expected him to be. Each day my reality blurred, leaving me wondering if I was slave or princess. The longer I stayed, the more I lost myself to him. Even after every cruelty the Beast visited upon me, I longed for his touch. Even after every savage word he spoke, I begged for his lips. I thought the worst thing he could take was my body. I was too naïve to guard my heart. Once upon a time, I thought love was a fairytale. Now I know better than to speak of happily ever afters.

By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study any chess opening and at the same time improve your general chess skills and knowledge. The Nimzo-Larsen Attack is an ideal opening choice for players keen to avoid mainline theory but still wanting to set their opponents problems from the outset. In the Nimzo-Larsen, White begins 1 b3 and then develops in hypermodern fashion - planning to undermine any central structures Black dares to erect. A key attraction of the Nimzo-Larsen is that White can steer the game into either sharp play or elaborate strategic battles. In this book, International Master Cyrus Lakdawala invites you to join him in examining the many different variations of the Nimzo-Larsen. Lakdawala studies the typical plans and tactics for both sides, offers repertoire options for White, provides answers to all the key questions and tells you everything you need to know about playing the Nimzo-Larsen Attack.
