  GOBLIN MARKET - Magical tale...

  Goblin Market is the classic yet for ever sensual long poem which inspired Alice Adventures in The Wonderland. It tells the story of two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, tempted by diabolical goblin merchants selling magical fruits. Like Alice Adventures In The Wonderland, Goblin Market is a surrealist masterpiece about magic, diabolical goblins portrayed as beastly devils, forbidden fruits and guilty pleasure. Throughout the poem set up in a small farm of the British countryside of the nineteen century, a phantasmagorical secret hangs in the air like an allegory for something from the realm of human intimacy, something in conflict with guilty pleasures and forbidden biblical food.

  Ervin Shane and the Sunshine Motel

  “The miracle of loneliness is that sooner or later it makes you act otherwise.” 
  Illuminated by extraordinary tenderness, Ervin Shane and The Sunshine Motel is a poignant tale about origins and endings told in the plain speak of a man tired of living a hand-to-mouth existence in the racist, post-WWII south. 
  In 1951, Ervin Shane boarded a Greyhound headed to wherever the winter sun was warmer. A thousand miles later, a layover in a West Texas bus station and a chance browsing of the want-ads led him to curtail his journey and take up as the custodian of The Sunshine Motel - a neon-bathed oasis situated halfway between somewhere and somewhere else, offering wayfarers, “…clean sheets, a warm blanket and a soft pillow for those lost souls bound for nowhere in particular.” 
  And so begins the chronicle and construction of a humble life; a beautiful and haunting story of classic simplicity; a story of indefinite echoes.

  When an alien species reaches from an otherworldly dimension, Ranzum's crew is forced to solve the dangerous mystery of a deserted space station ... Can they make it out alive? Drifting in space with no destination and limited fuel, Brian Ranzum and his crew are thankful to find a large space station nearby. They acquire permission to board and retrieve supplies for the trip back home, but upon entry, no one is there to greet them. The crew is forced to search the barren station for supplies alone, where they face uncooperative doors, lighting blackouts, and even an odd visual programming that creates their life-like drawings on the ceilings drawn in pitch, black ink. Their quest takes them further into the station's labyrinth-like depths, and what started as a search for supplies becomes a battle of survival as the crew discovers the hidden mysteries that are buried within the recesses of the station.Living Ink: Ascension is a psychological thriller that will take its readers to the edge of reality and beyond.

  Trina Rockwell here. You know, your favorite TV host from Midwestern Matchmaker? While I've been setting up Midwestern singles for seven years, I've not had any luck finding myself a guy. 
   
   
   
  My last great encounter was a year ago when I bid on a date with billionaire Heath Fox at a charity auction. But then, after a great date and an even better good night kiss, Heath told me he wasn't looking for a relationship. Super. 
   
   
   
  Now that Midwestern Matchmaker has been cancelled, my producer has got it into his head to do a new show where I'm the one who finds love. He wants to set me up with a bunch of B-List celebrities, the likes of which have me considering joining a convent. 
   
   
   
  There's only one thing I can think of doing and that's finding a boyfriend for real. The last thing I expected was for Heath to come back into my life and cause trouble.
