Sinossi

In Rome a man commits suicide by cutting his veins in the bathtub. In San Francisco, a woman throws herself off her balcony. Two dramatic events, apparently distant between them. Betta is trying to pick up the pieces of her life when Mark, from San Francisco shows up with some very disturbing news: the two suicides, her husband and his sister have one common denominator. It seems that behind these desperate gestures hides a sort of instigator: Dioniso. They intercept and lure emotionally fragile subjects through social network, dragging them along a path that leads them to their death. Betta and Mark, with the help of the suicide girl, Andrea, an expert hacker leads them on a personal chase, taking them around Europe where they follow the trail of breadcrumbs left by Dioniso. Meanwhile, a dark and tentacular force is on their tracks, transforming them from hunters to prey. What is hiding behind the tragic death of two people? The answer to that question is as disturbing as it is incredible. Something that the world is not yet ready to accept.

A Lost Soul Found in the...

Brett C. Persson

Step into a powerful journey through abuse, addiction, and redemption, told through the art of Haiku. 
As a profound collection of Japanese Haiku poetry, this illuminating book transports you on a journey through the troubled life of one tormented soul. From a childhood marred by abuse and neglect to a life poisoned by addiction, Jake was plunged down a dark path from an early age by the cruelties of fate. 
But in his darkest moment, while sitting in a prison cell, a ray of light appeared to him. Jake was faced with a life-defining choice: to continue down his self-destructive path, or to turn toward the hope of redemption and find the courage to face his demons. 
As an inspiring and redeeming testament to the hidden potentialities within us all, A Lost Soul Found in the Darkness describes one man's journey to overcome his predicament, defy his upbringing, and forge a new life for himself beyond the pain and addiction that hounds him. 
Author and recovering addict Brett C. Persson invites you on this journey, weaving Jake's story with real-life lessons and struggles drawn from his personal life. 
Imbued with timeless religious motifs, this book is a must-read for anybody who loves thought-provoking Haiku collections that communicate deep truths about tragedy, hope, and salvation.

Here We Go Again

Ronald Franklin Saia

Here We Go Again evolved from Heartland Inspirations, Kentucky Wonder and Inspirations Anew for You, continuing my being inspired by life and the desire to lift up others. Everyone needs an occasional lift from life's challenges which tests our coping ability. I believe Here We Go Again will provide that moment for you. 
Ronald Franklin Saia was born a grandson to a Italian from Sutera, Sicily. Growing up in rural Kansas gave Ronald a deep feeling in his soul for the outdoors. He hunted, trapped, rode his buckskin mare old Beauty, slept under the stars and cooked supper over an open camp fire. He is a real American patriot. While Ronald worked his way through college, he lived at home with his precious mother, Mary, and father, Victor. What a blessing it was for God to have chosen them for this parents. 
For a time, he worked in Venezuela where he met his wife, Barb. He has traveled in South/Central America and Europe. Ronald's inspirations/poetry are straight from his heart and represent a true appreciation for creation and God's works along with life's experiences and personal observations.

Lorenzo

Ben Targét

When Ben Targét was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2012 Edinburgh Comedy Awards, he was set on the path to becoming a critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning performance artist.
Eight years later, amidst a global pandemic, he gave it all up to become the live-in carer for his uncle: an irascible octogenarian prankster called Lorenzo Wong.
LORENZO is their story, a show that confronts the messiness of ageing and dying through the medium of storytelling, servitude to the audience and live carpentry, a combination not seen on the world stage since Nazareth circa 30AD.
This book is the full script of that life-affirming show, with illustrations by Targét himself. It was directed by Adam Brace, and was premiered at Summerhall, Edinburgh, during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it was awarded a Fringe First. It subsequently transferred to Soho Theatre, London.
