The GREATEST survival story you’ll ever read. One young boy must stand up to the evil force that has found its way into their home. At the age of five, the boy learns to hold his breath while he's tucked away in the dark, listening as Crazy paces through the farmhouse like an unholy predator, searching, just steps away from his hiding place. But even being very good at hiding doesn't always keep you safe. Amidst brutal beatings, violent screaming, and cruelly imaginative abuse, the boy discovers that he has a special connection with the spiritual realm. He sees beings of light and dark that his brother can't see—beings that bring waves of comfort, beings that he knows are there to protect him and his siblings.

New York City-based recording artist, Sam Sugarman is celebrating the forthcoming re-release of her debut EP, “Lion’s Den” in the newest chapter of her artistry as a singer-songwriter. Delivered by grounding vocals reminiscent of Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane), Sugarman’s lyrics tempt the listener to journey afar and to use her music as the catalyst for internal awakening. Despite occasional sonic nods to legends like Joan Baez, Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries) and James Taylor, Sugarman remains a modern entity molded by her fascinating upbringing and promising future in the music industry. Sugarman’s career exploits first garnered her acclaim from the bosom of her upbringing in Buffalo, New York. From local residencies to festivals and even having her music on the radio, Buffalo embraced Sugarman and endowed her with the Difference Maker Award. In 2019, she created “7-1-6 Music Gives Back” (Buffalo’s area code) - designed to partner with nonprofits to raise money through benefit concerts. That same year

He published his first book ".357 Vigilante" (as "Ian Ludlow," so he'd be on the shelf next to Robert Ludlum) while he was still a UCLA student. The West Coast Review of Books called his debut "as stunning as the report of a .357 Magnum, a dynamic premiere effort," singling the book out as "The Best New Paperback Series" of the year. Naturally, the publisher promptly went bankrupt and he never saw a dime in royalties. (But the
