“I was so anxious to lose my virginity that I never thought of all the consequences that came with it.” In this titillating personal account, Damaged Goods, author O. Persaud sums up the sultry sex life of his main character, Chris, from his first intimate experience to finding a woman that he truly loves. The "every man for himself" mentality has corrupted Chris' ideals, whether regarding friends, family, material possessions, or women. When he makes a move, he never takes other people's feelings into consideration. Therefore, he can never stay true to anyone to whom he supposedly commits. Chris believes that others are only here in this world for his benefit, and he is willing to deny peoples' needs-including his own-to obtain what he wants. Nowhere in his life is this mentality more evident than in his romantic involvements. Chris soon finds himself questioning his behavior: "Why do I cheat? And how did I become the unfaithful man that I am today?" These questions serve as the basis for his next quest in life, one that may lead to true love-if he can only find the answers. Damaged Goods provides a fresh, interesting look into the life of a young black male and his search for the nature of love.

Ask anyone: Jim Sain is a pompous, naked, free thinker. He's also the mayor of Berkeley. One of his high school chums has moved back to renovate Hamilton House, one wacky adventure at a time, and who knows what's coming next? The mayor has been dubbed "mR. bERZERKELEY" by a cartoonist who is determined to embarrass him (and undermine his bid for reelection). His personal life is as colorful as his political life. He gives his detractors plenty of fodder to fuel his demise (but in his eyes, these are not signs of moral weakness). In this spoof that cheerfully brings the sixties into the twenty-first century, Jim's buffoonery as he interacts with boarding-house residents creates a wild smorgasbord of political, mysterious, sexual, and otherwise edgy adventures. A cartoonist, a naïve freshman, a reformed prostitute, lesbian lovers, a sarcastic cook, the de-formed son of a university bigwig, and a Kansas politician are some of the characters who spark energy back into the old house and bring classic Berkeley lore back to life. mR. bERZERKELEY is Jack McLaughlin's love song to a city like no other.

Unveiled is a five hundred year old story about a beautiful Bedouin, Jasmine, and her relationship with her two sons. The older boy is a Moslem, who is half Sunni and half Shiite, and her younger son is a Christian. Religious terrorism currently hangs heavily upon men's hearts and minds. An advancement of one religious cult over another is not a suitable answer. We need to come to grips with this growing plague and understand the reasons for this fatal affliction. As reported in this tale of an ancient time, the causes of religious terrorism have more to do with the abuses of power by the world's governmental and spiritual leaders who encourage religious terrorism than with the religions themselves. Unveiled provides some of the reasons and explanations that can lead us to a solution to this dilemma facing our shrinking planet.
