A Fan of Death and Shakespeare by Rick Lacey
About A Fan of Death and Shakespeare by Rick Lacey
A Fan of Death and Shakespeare promises to be the next extraordinary leap in the evolution of the female-driven psychological thriller. The novel provides a precise and chilling description of Folie à Deux, the purist and most perfect form of psychosis ever studied. Fans of the genre have been forced to accept vague descriptions of psychological disorders afflicting various scheming murderers and serial killers. Readers left to form their own diagnosis assign labels like psychopath, sociopath, schizophrenic, bipolar, or psychotic based on their own limited knowledge of psychiatry, a discipline with vast disagreement among its practitioners. A Fan of Death and Shakespeare features true identical-twin psychotics and describes their psychotic transformation. Psychotics are not born. They are transformed. The reader is privileged to enter the minds of the killers to watch them become psychotic, struggle to live with their condition, and fight to cure themselves. Observe a world where only a privileged few have been able to function and from which none survive. The final element readers demand is a mind-blowing plot twist. A Fan of Death and Shakespeare may be the only psychological thriller in which readers cheer for the success of the psychotic killers and the death of the innocent victims. Twin psychotic killers ingeniously hidden in the bodies of beautiful women is a weapon that ultimately proves impossible to stop. The plot is complex, but nothing is held back and every aspect is well supported. Going into the climactic final scene readers will be emotionally attached to their own hopes, fears, and expectations. No matter how close they read and how certain they are as to just who deserves to live and who deserves to die, there is one thing this novel can promise. The outcome will shock every reader. The novel opens on the scene of an execution-style murder of a BP America executive in his corner office. The Cleveland police detectives are baffled as a series of killings become more and more grotesque as they all serve to exonerate the prime suspect in the previous murder. After our hero becomes romantically involved with a beautiful psychotic, his psychiatrist works to make him understand psychosis and appreciate why he is in such grave danger. Recovering from his own psychological problems, he is incapable of thinking ill of any woman and is, therefore, defenseless. Going into the final scene both our hero and the identical-twin psychotic sisters are fighting the same villain for different reasons. It is the ending that takes this psychotic thriller to a level no prior thriller has reached. Prepare yourself for a thrill ride with an ending so shocking you may decide to read it again.

Author Bio:
Rick Lacey is an author/ghostwriter who has returned to his roots and lives in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio with his childhood sweetheart. He is the proud author of five novels under his own name including “A Fan of Death and Shakespeare,” which is set for official release on August 12, 2018.
Rick’s philosophy of life was set when his father’s early death brought the revelation that men in his family die young. That sent him off to cram a lifetime into too few years. Instead, he’s enjoyed a long life, pursued several careers, and accumulated multiple lifetimes of experience. When he sits down to write, he draws on a wealth of real-life events and interactions.
He was born in Pennsylvania and spent his first years in an Allegheny-mountain coal town. The family escaped to San Francisco before settling in a suburb of Cleveland where Rick benefited from a middle-class upbringing and old-fashioned family values. He earned Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Cleveland State University.
He worked twelve years at the Lincoln Electric Company in the infamous Lincoln Incentive System. He spent eight years at BP America where he worked his way up to Senior Financial Analyst. After accepting a buyout during a corporate downsizing, he relocated to Florida and speculated in real estate before rejoining the workforce as Controller of the Sundial Beach & Golf Resort and the Dunes Golf & Tennis Club on Sanibel Island. In an effort to give back, he finished his working career as a Financial Adviser and Accountant for Love A Child, Inc., a non-profit dedicated to housing, clothing, and educating poor children.
Rick spent two years in an RV visiting every state and traveling from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Arctic Circle to the Tropic of Cancer. While there are still a lot of countries on his bucket list, he continues to check them off.
Intertwined in that life he invested in the financial markets, traded bond futures and index options, and counted cards at Blackjack tables. He was the fool who acts as his own lawyer, even winning a case in Ohio’s Court of Appeals and beating the IRS in tax court. He climbed mountains and glaciers and explored deserts, caves, and rain forests. He rode in a hot air balloon, bungee jumped, hang glided, shot the rapids, skied, ski dived, and scuba dived. He dined in exclusive restaurants and dirt-floor cantinas. He worked on a shrimp boat and witnessed a murder. He slept in the fanciest hotels and camped under the stars. He got into bar fights, was pepper sprayed, and spent nights in jail. He met up with rattlesnake and grizzly bear, ran from a moose, and spent a night against a redwood in big-foot country. He admired nature’s wonders from her most beautiful creations to her most savage devastation. He enjoyed desert sex and Arctic Circle sex, palace sex and trailer-park sex. He soaked in desert hot springs and swam in mountain lakes. He went to Roswell and Area 51 and watched a Space Shuttle blast off. He waded the Rio Grande and cruised Prince William Sound. He hitchhiked across the country and flew across oceans. He caught King Salmon and watched Humpback whales. He was chased by Indian braves and panhandled by Indian alcoholics. He hit a golf ball further than Tiger Woods and saw more of America than John Muir.
As important as education, career, and travel are to a novelist’s arsenal are interactions with people. Rick’s been privileged to meet some incredible characters and to have loved and lost. From the murderer to the philanthropist, the Nobel scholar to the Hopi elder, billionaire to bag lady, executive to the limo driver, Aztec stud to Korean lesbian, librarian to stripper, rock star to groupie, laid-back Jamaican to proper English Lord, politician to priest, whore to nun, lunatic boss to perfectionist golf pro, the cowboy just wanting a bourbon and a hot meal to the Chairman of the Board bent on ruling the world he learned something from them all.
Though hardly the sort of life of which biographies are demanded, it is the best preparation for a novelist or ghostwriter seeking to bring realism to his stories. To paraphrase a great many of our most admired authors, . . . he lived it, he writes it.

The White Piano
Coming back to his childhood home after years of absence, Ben is unprepared for the secret, which is now revealed to him: his mother, Natasha, who used to be a brilliant pianist, is losing herself to mysterious disease, which turns the way her mind works into a riddle. His father’s new wife, Anita, looks remarkably similar to her—only much younger. Feeling isolated, being apart from love, how will Ben react to these marital affairs, when it is so tempting to resort to blame and guilt? “In our family, forgiveness is something you pray for, something you yearn to receive—but so seldom do you give it to others.”
Behind his father’s back, Ben and Anita find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. They take turns using an old tape recorder to express their most intimate thoughts, not realizing at first that their voices—his eloquent speech, her slang—are being caught by his father. What emerges in this family is a struggle, a desperate, daring struggle to find a path out of conflicts, out of isolation, from guilt to forgiveness.

THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF LIFE AFTER DEATH UNVEILED
About THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF LIFE AFTER DEATH UNVEILED
THE NOBLE QUR’AAN CHALLENGES YOUR BELIEF AND THOUGHT!
Allah emphasizes that He is the only One who created the Earth and the universe. He claims that there will also be a new phases of life after death known as the Life of Hereafter. He delivers this stand through his Messengger, The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. The Noble Qur’aan is seen as the most important proof of evidence for all of the allegations made. The Noble Qur’aan challenges humans to conduct research towards the study of universe which is proclaimed to be the sole creation of Allah, as to be a solid evidence that they will be resurrected after death. Yasin is one of the Surah in the Qur’aan that attracts human to further engage in this research. There are list of facts in Surah Yasin that encourage human to do research through various verses known as ayat-ayat kauniyyah (scientific facts). Ayat means a sign while ayat-ayat is its plural form. Whereas ‘kauniyyah’ which was originated from the verb ‘kawn’ means the creation.Therefore ayat-ayat kauniyyah refer to the signs of Allah’s creation. Ayat-ayat Kauniyyah (scientific facts) are simply those verses related to the universe and its phenomena. The word ‘alam’ means all those exist in the sky and on the earth (the stars, the existing energy etc). While universe is defined as all over; and whole. The universe is the whole of nature. The events that occur in this realm are actually planned by Allah and highly not happen by chance as claimed by the Atheists.

Heaven Is a Gay Bar
Once a recluse, 30-year-old Benjamin Oldman spends his nights and weekends carousing with fellow construction workers, looking for the perfect bar, which ultimately leads him to Club Heaven—the most popular gay nightclub in Oklahoma City. Though he prefers women, Benjamin instantly takes a shine to the place with its dark, brooding atmosphere and heart-pounding music. Plus, he meets plenty of eccentrics and misfits such as himself, including three women who turn his world upside down.
Porsche, a transgender who lives as a black woman, takes Benjamin under her wing and becomes his strongest ally and mentor. Then there’s Laura, a self-proclaimed “crazy bitch”, who brings out Benjamin’s wild side…and Barbie, a free-spirited woman in her twenties who Benjamin falls in love with despite an age gap and her ever-increasing dependence on heroin. Benjamin never thought he’d have to compete against an illegal substance—or that his “coming out” might lead to his undoing.

The gay scene of the 1990s—or the Gay Nineties, as I fondly refer to it—is a world and time period that I’m well-acquainted with. I went from a clueless twenty-something to a clueless thirty-something in the early nineties and most of my friends were gay, even though I’m hopelessly heterosexual. I lost a lot of those friends to the AIDS epidemic,
sadly enough. They were an amazing group of people and I feel incredibly honored to tell their story. A native of Oklahoma City, I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in professional writing. With a strong passion for storytelling and inspired by such literary giants as Mark Twain and Emily Brontë, I’m currently at work on my fourth novel, another semi-autobiography spanning from my childhood to my late twenties and also focusing on LGBTQ issues, family relationships, love, and friendship.
The Gospel of René Descartes by Mag. Augustina Comte
About The Gospel of René Descartes by Mag. Augustina Comte
St. René Descartes dedicated his life to finding true Knowledge—a journey that took him from his birthplace in rural France to the battlefields of Bavaria, the universities of Holland, and eventually to the Swedish royal court. As he traveled, he realized that much of what we think we know is based on testimony from authorities, who can be mistaken, or the evidence of our senses, which can deceive us. We must cast aside these false ideas, Descartes argued, and rely on our innate capacity of Reason to guide us to the truth. Descartes’ radical skepticism brought him into conflict with the Catholic church, Aristotelian philosophers and Scientists, and even the material world. Ultimately, his fight for intellectual autonomy transformed the way we think today.
The Gospel of René Descartes is available at a special promotional price for launch week, Aug. 12-18.

Okay, Sweet Universe
Danny and Jose think they’ve figured out what happens when you die. The human brain slowly powers down and during the time between it powering down and completely shutting off it dreams up a whole new life for you to live. Then, that process is repeated. Basically, the life you’re living now is just a dream while you’re previous life’s brain is turning off. With this hypothesis in mind, Danny and Jose perfect lucid dreaming with the intention of crafting a dream world so perfect that their brains automatically create this dream upon their death. Ultimately, Danny and Jose want to try to make their next lives idyllic. Of course, this doesn’t turn out so well. At first their dreams were simply about violent religious crimes in Alaska and talking monkeys in a sex, obesity and violence filled apocalyptic world, but now the dreams are a portal to their increasingly war torn reality. They’ll have to work for that perfect afterlife.

I’ll tell you a thousand other things such as I enjoy coffee, clouds and I play piano when I need to think about our tiny place in a vast universe. Bored? Me too.
My books, described by one reader as “…Blade Runner meets The Outlaw Josey Wales…” are not so boring however…
Our cat, Lebowski, is real, an “organic.”
In the 18th Shadow, the cats are cyborgs. I write about cyborgs and their particular spot in the meaning of life. I also write about surveillance society, environmental dystopia, artificial intelligence and the American drug wars of the future. You might encounter a telepathic dolphin who talks to computers, you never know. And if you love Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson or are a hacker addicted to Mountain Dew, The 18th Shadow is built for you.
So… for less information like my favorite color is blue – and more information on sex, drugs, war, conspiracy and cyborgs… the box set awaits.
I hope you dig The 18th Shadow. Cheers!
