Michael Annis (Senior editor of Howling Dog Press): "I published the entire Quodlibet in the OMEGA literary magazine online series. It is an amazing, gargantuan poem filled with some of the toughest writing you will come across. Profound, harrowing cantos of dark beauty, billowing with flames of passion, remorse, grace, despair and defiance. The howl of the WordWulf is terrifying to behold: terrifying with magnificence and truth." I would paint with words, soft & violent colors stabbing, caressing did I mention stardust on the eyes of expectant children webs of parenthood fire night, embers of those forgotten ones clinging to the ragged edge fragile-aged, insecure passengers smaller & whose visage is an always-open door of hope those hands clutched against bony breasts of despair too oft' untouched & ne'er held by phantom strangers ourselves we are what are we children are pieces of a wonderful puzzle the sides & corners notes from readers Quite some time ago, I wrote you with only the words "nice writing bro". Today I must tell you that your words paint pictures that usually only silence can describe. Sometimes, in life, there is this little pause, an escape if you will, from the constant bombardment surrounding. Often unexpected, and insipiently overwhelming, this pause, this moment can bring with it a shock, like a hot stove, and like a hot stove it can brand you forever. Just so, you light fires in quiet untouched spaces. So, to re-iterate... nice writing bro

spiders 'n snakes is the opening chronicle in the saga, Madman Chronicles: The Warrior. Dragon riders gather to bury the dead at the culmination of a five-year apocalyptic world war. And the dead are many. They fill vehicles and buildings in every stage of decomposition. They're steam-shoveled into piles, dumped into manmade canals then set on fire.War refuses to stop, driven by monsters from the top. Wulf, Leader of Lords of the Dragon, an armed and mounted society of warriors, descends into the earth on a mission to discover a place to take his people, where they might enjoy life with their families and finally be rid of the manifest destiny shoved down their throats by prevailing world governments.His people are comprised mostly of the lower echelons of society, minorities, 1%er outlaws, the poor and insignificant. They are the ones who fight wars and, in the case of The Great Conflict, have paid the blood and guts price when politics got out of hand and the wiggly wobbly top spun into chaos. Having survived the war, they recognize a tiny window of opportunity. So Wulf ventures into the labyrinth, a torturous system of tunnels and chambers deep in the earth. There he faces mutant creatures, the horrifying discovery of an underground arena used by a society from the past to commit atrocities including suicide by lottery, human sacrifice and infanticide.When he escapes the labyrinth, Wulf goes into the city as part of a commission to consider a treaty offered by the government. He faces the unfeasible intrigue of allies and authors of treaties. Nobody in the room senses the climber pounding through the earth. Wulf blabbers and drools, makes a fool of himself in a room full of neckties, to battle the assassin and block its way. The steppenwulf aspect of himself, the vampire he denies, slams him down to save his man self and explodes into action.Excellent Sherry Vero Beach Immerse yourself in this voyeuristic world with a junket through a timeless labyrinth and an abyss of imagination. The book is like an all day multi layered tasty jawbreaker - very complex and delightfully mystical down to the very last bit. The story opens at the conclusion of the world conflict in the year 2010 with Wulf saying a farewell to his loved and trusted friend, Hood. The farewell is an elaborate high ceremony at the Stone Mountains behind the City of the Rock. Wulf is a descendant of the North American Peoples and a member of Lord of the Dragon. He created a community known as the Cave of the Dark Heart. With help from the ancient Book of the See, Wulf along with his staunch companion, genus Cajun Angelo, boldly search for a secure haven for his people. The reader will jump in and out of dreams into nightmares in a flash of a thunderbolt. In one mad dream Wulf experiences an intense vision of "a worm crawled out of her mouth, white and fat, burrowing itself between her bleeding lips, feeding." Meet the soul hopping Patron who is "fueled by hate and a burning lust for revenge". There is nothing cookie cutter about this book. It has a distinct style all its own. It is written with an elaborate herculean and provocative style. This book aggressively takes on in limitless futuristic action the very human elements of mistrust, fears, abuse, sex, tenderness, love, and the dynamics in all relationships. This is not a book you can skim. The author vibrantly interweaves creativity, intensity and exquisite detail. Mr. Sterner also provides music that may be downloaded from his site that correlates to the chapters in the book. A unique concept that should not be missed by the reader. The Madman Chronicles: The Warrior offers an adult cerebral momentousness makings of a first rate epic. Sherry Russell Author/reviewer

gordian objective is the second chronicle in the saga, Madman Chronicles: The Warrior. Wulf is taken to the labyrinth against his will to have a one on one conversation with Hood, a friend and fellow soldier who had gone MIA and was presumed killed in action. And the dead are many. They fill vehicles and buildings in every stage of decomposition. They're steam-shoveled into piles, dumped into manmade canals then set on fire.There is no escaping the prison of war. The house is on fire and children inside. Elders and warriors, fathers and mothers, caretakers are burdened with difficult life decisions at every turn of the wheel. Helpless in the face of a war machine that devours their young, soldiering; imprisoning and criminalizing those who refuse to serve when the only way out is money and they have none, the choice is to surrender them to the machine or strip them bare and drive them into the guns of those who set the house aflame to bring them to ground. They're waiting just outside, brothers and sisters, others' children, trained, locked, cocked and ready to drop the hammer on established targets, dissenters, children of rebels, heretics, those who refuse to take part in the braggadocio and glory of "We're number one ". The elders dig a hole, climb in and take the children, mothers, and the infirm with them. Warriors arm themselves as best they can, paint their skin, mount their dragons. Rats in a corner, a corner of their time and choosing, these warriors circle the hole, the digging of the hole, prepare to fight and die to protect those inside, one way in and no way out. We hid in brown shirts until infiltrated.A society that condones the death of children to convenience and war is lost.

A native of Colorado, I live in Denver with my wife, Kathy. Between us, we are blessed with six adult children who also reside in the metro Denver area. I've spent a fair share of my life outside the lines, started riding Harleys, roaring across the nights with fellow madmen and singing in rock & roll bands before I was of legal age to drink in bars (that didn't slow me down much though). Family has always been my number one priority, my children the single dynamic that dragged me back when I was dangling over the edge. Life with them gave me direction and heart to write my shortest novel, be there . momma's rain is the opening book in the saga, Amerikan Kamp: Frail Monsters/Wounded Souls. Six-year-old Jackie snuck into the bread last night. He ate the last two slices. He took quite a beating when Momma informed Daddy. Jackie's lips are stuck shut with dried blood, his forehead bruised from being slammed into the corner where he's standing, smiling inside. His belly's full. They can beat him all they want. The next morning he is gone and his four-year-old brother, Phillip, with him. Where did they go, the police want to know. Momma was born in a chicken coop behind her grandfather's mansion in the Ozarks, Missouri before he hung himself and blew his brains out over gambling debts and slave blood. Her father was the ashamed half-breed offspring of this white man and his Cherokee slave woman. At four-years-old, she was abandoned to a Catholic orphanage along with her two older sisters. Daddy was born on a ranch in Colorado Springs, Colorado. His twin brother was left in an outhouse at a campground in the mountains on his fourth birthday. His momma, unhappy in her marriage to a ranch hand, had found herself a new man who refused to take on the responsibility of two little bastards. She kept Daddy, threw the other one away. Her new man disciplined the boy with an iron hand and a coal shovel.I lived the life and Momma told me the stories of life before me. She didn't like it much that I wrote things down and made songs to sing out of the fabric of our lives and her tales. She needed me though and I think she was desperate to tell it all, to give her life substance. I swore an oath not to breathe a word of it to a soul until she was gone. She is passed, the grass grown long over the paths she walked. I am the son alive in the mist, no umbrella, of Momma's Rain.

after earth is the third chronicle in the saga, Madman Chronicles: The Warrior. Enemies attacked their farms, kidnapped and enslaved their women and children, killed many warriors. The People salvaged what they could from the remains of the attack and began a trek toward the Great Stone Mountains. Halfway there, tired, beaten and starving, they stopped to camp. A hundred years later, enemies attacked their farms, kidnapped and enslaved their women and children, killed many warriors.The People rested their eyes on the Great Stone Mountains. They vowed to the last person to go forward and not stop until they reached them. Many died, the very old and very young but the People reached the mountains, made comfortable homes in the caves beneath the Great Stone Mountain cliffs and mesas. They were not a war-like people and were better able to defend themselves from the side of the mountain.Enemies of the People joined forces, allied themselves with other scavenger tribes in the belief that the People possessed great riches since they lived in such a mighty fortress. The riches the People possessed were their families, their very young and very old, cherished, valued, and protected as the most precious jewels. The butchers gathered at the base of the People's city. They celebrated the coming raid with great fires, the howling of war songs, hungry to sacrifice the innocent ones, pillage, ruin and rape with impunity those on the mountain. The old ones and holy ones of the People knew of a thousand year prophecy and were aware its anniversary and time were at hand. They gathered the People, to the last person, and led them away to safety, the promise of the prophecy.When the conquerors came upon the mountain, they met no resistance. The People were no longer there. Their enemies found afternoon meals warming in pots, all processes of industry, needles hanging loose in the looms of weavers, vats of molten metals of the smiths boiling away, all activities obviously in progress and in pause only because those initiating and maintaining them had ostensibly left for a moment. It was as if all the People had vanished into thin air. Other than the People, such was the truth to others. The conquerors burned what would burn, consumed what could be consumed, and destroyed what they could destroy. Wherever the People had gone, so had the riches. The clouds drift lazily over the Great Stone Mountains. Winds play amongst them and raindrops excite the earth with their offerings. Sun and moon play tag and create what lesser beings consider day and night. The People know and where they have gone. Andrew Corn transitioned from a career in professional football to soldier in a time in his life when he believed in choices, that they existed and he was empowered to make them. He laughs at the memory, sitting deep in the earth, literally laying low. It has fallen to him to bring After Earth online, to create a place of refuge & lure his lifelong friend, Wulf and his Lords of the Dragon into the earth. Andrew, "the Hood", Corn, taps the chromium plate amplifier in the hollow of his throat. He taps out the initiating sequence on the keyboard with his other hand. "Wulf still believes in choices," he says aloud. A golden sphere rises from the floor of the labyrinth, glowing and warming its tunnel earth surround. Sure would like to get laid in there, Hood muses. "Andrew Corn," welcome to After Earth," a female computer voice speaks from the sphere. "I am programmed to receive you." Hood stands up and enters the sphere.

The Catastrophe Obligation Guarantee Act, introduced in Congress in 2009, would authorize the federal government to provide committed loan guarantees to qualified state catastrophe-insurance programs. Proponents argue that lower-cost catastrophe insurance could reduce federal disaster-assistance expenditures. This report estimates the law's potential effects in California.

Ars pariendi – håndgreb og akut behandling ved fødsler er en tværfaglig og praktisk orienteret obstetrisk lærebog om håndteringen af det normale og det komplicerede fødselsforløb. Bogen gennemgår i kortfattet form og med mange tegninger og fotos relevante håndgreb og procedurer samt understøtter klinisk beslutningstagning. Bogens indhold baserer sig i videst mulig udstrækning på eksisterende evidens for god klinisk praksis i Skandinavien. Denne 2. udgave er en gennemgribende revision af tekst og illustrationer og er suppleret med nye selvstændige kapitler om Hjemmefødsel, Dystoci, CTGovervågning og Præterm fødsel. Forståelsen for, hvornår man skal og ikke skal intervenere i fødselsforløbet, er altafgørende på en fødestue. Visse akutte hændelser indtræder så hyppigt på fødestuen, at man som studerende, uddannelsessøgende eller sundhedsprofessionel kan opnå viden og erfaring gennem klinisk praksis. Andre akutte hændelser indtræder derimod så sjældent, at det er vanskeligt alene gennem arbejdet på fødestuen at opøve en praksisbaseret rutine i håndteringen heraf. Ars pariendi – håndgreb og akut behandling ved fødsler dækker således et behov for en kortfattet og let tilgængelig lærebog, som guider sundhedsprofessionelle i beslutninger, håndgreb og teamsamarbejde på og omkring en fødestue. Bogen kan også bruges som opslagsbog i den akutte situation. Forfatterne er primært læger i gynækologi og obstetrik samt jordemødre fra forskellige fødesteder og jordemoderuddannelsen i Danmark. Enkelte kapitler inddrager forfattere fra andre specialer som fx anæstesiologi og klinisk biokemi. Målgruppen er først og fremmest yngre læger under speciallægeuddannelse i gynækologi og obstetrik, speciallæger med vagt på fødegang, jordemødre og jordemoderstuderende samt sygeplejersker ansat på svangre- og barselsafsnit. Bogen kan også have interesse for læger indenfor andre specialer, som indgår i samarbejdet omkring behandling af gravide og fødende.

The riveting, revelatory, and sole authorized account of the critical first decades of Tennessee Williams's life. Tennessee Williams, author of such indelible masterpieces as The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire, is considered by many to be the greatest literary artist of the American theater. Tom is Lyle Leverich's definitive account based on his exclusive access to letters, diaries, unpublished manuscripts, and family documents of Williams's early life and of the events that shaped this most autobiographical of dramatists. It tells the story of the marital traumas of his bullying father and overly protective mother, the mental disorders that institutionalized his beloved sister Rose, his stalled academic career, and his confused sexuality and early successes as a writer; and it leaves Thomas Lanier Williams on the brink of fame with The Glass Menagerie and his transformation into the celebrated persona of Tennessee.

Appearing no different than the average man who worked hard for a living, he nicely blends in with his neighbours and co-workers. Although socially awkward at times, nobody takes notice of his peculiarities, but beneath his somewhat normal veneer resides a pulsating black heart, bent upon cruelty and domination. Contains adult content. Composed in captivating narrative and compelling dialogue, the story flows at a brisk tempo. The plot contains more than a few strategically placed unexpected twists which should maintain the reader's interest throughout. The characters are presented in a multi-dimensional fashion revealing the intricacies of their unique personalities and individual agendas. Navigating the plot to a well conceived conclusion, the author could leave the reader with the sense of time well spent in the reading of this story
