- Popping the Higher Education Bubble: How to Navigate the Impending Student Loan Crisis -
About Popping the Higher Education Bubble: How to Navigate the Impending Student Loan Crisis:Cheap credit on student loans coupled with widespread beliefs of ever-increasing returns on investment has caused college tuition to vastly outpace inflation and family incomes. While the price of education has skyrocketed, the value of a degree has not kept pace.
Over the past 30 years, higher education has gone from facilitating upward mobility to exacerbating inequality. For the first time in history, the majority of unemployed Americans attended college, and it’s now more expensive than ever to go to college. Student debt is now greater than $1 trillion and many graduates are unable to secure employment sufficient to pay off these loans. As a result, students are increasingly beginning to default on these loans.
Popping the Higher Education Bubble discusses the causes of the economic bubble, the harmful effects it has had, potential solutions to the problems, an analysis of whether college is still a wise purchase, and more.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
My early work (eight-years-old) would be called fan fiction today. I began by writing my version of Bobbsey Twins novels on legal pads that my dad brought home from the office. As an only child – in the days before children became little electronic receivers – there was often not much to do other than seek amusement in my own head.Childhood fantasies involved being the only girl (for some odd reason) at a ranch for wayward boys. Yes. I do realize this sounds vaguely familiar. Those fantasies were supported by real life events because the boys included me in the afternoon neighborhood games whether it was cowboy/Indians or G.I. Joe.
When I left the Bobbsey Twins behind I didn’t write again until I was married with children and in my mid-twenties. I completed a paranormal romance and gave it to my spouse to read. After hearing his criticisms I didn’t write again for decades. At the time I didn’t understand that he’s the absolute farthest thing from my audience.
It turned out to be a blessing because during that time that I didn’t write, I lived an extremely full life. I traveled a lot, raised a family, got an education (I have an M.A. in Psychology.) and explored my compulsion to be a spiritual seeker. The fantasies were a constant companion throughout. The faces and names of the characters changed as I matured, but they remained a source of comfort. They helped me through hell-raising teenagers and three near-death scares.
By the time I started writing again, I had something to say.
I write cross-genre with uniquely fresh perspectives on paranormal creatures, characters, and themes. Add a dash of scifi and a flourish of fantasy to enough humor to make you laugh out loud and enough steam to make you squirm in your chair. My heroines are independent femmes with flaws and minds of their own whether they are aliens, witches, demonologists, psychics, or past life therapists. My heroes are hot and hunky, but they also have brains, character, and good manners – usually – whether they be elves, demons, berserkers, werewolves, or vampires.
My first book, My Familiar Stranger, was nominated for Best Paranormal Romance of by both Reviewers’ Choice and Readers’ Choice Awards. All of my books have opened on the Amazon Best Sellers list and earned Night Owl Reviews TOP PICK awards.
My work has been compared to J R Ward, Karen Marie Moning, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Lara Adrian.
If you’re interested in me personally, I am also a classically trained musician who defected to Classic Rock.
This is Roadhouse, the very best in Classic Rock, taken near The Last Concert Cafe, Houston Texas, 2011. I’m the utility player which means I play rhythm guitar, keyboards, sing back ups and a few leads.
I have authored and illustrated Seasons of the Witch calendars and planners for fifteen years and teach magickal arts for Seasons in Avalon. I live in The Woodlands, Texas which is why I sometimes joke about being the witch in the woods. Married. Four children. One very smart, mostly black German Shepherd dog.

For P. E. Sibley (a.k.a. Pat Sibley) writing is a passion, or perhaps a compulsion.She was born, raised, and educated mostly in Orange County, California. A voracious reader as a child, she became interested in writing early on. She wrote her first short story in second grade about an ant. It ended rather abruptly when the ant was smashed by a foot.
By the time she reached her mid-twenties, she was living a near-gypsy existence, moving from one city to another. She traveled to Europe several times (Scotland is the preferred destination) and to the Middle East, and tried numerous occupations including climbing telephone poles, picking oranges on a kibbutz in Israel, and managing a bookstore. She went back to school for a Teaching Credential from Cal State University, Long Beach, doing her student teaching in Hampshire, England.
She moved numerous times more—mostly eastward and northward to San Francisco and then Sierra Nevada mountains—and now resides in rural Eastern Washington State with her husband, a wolf-canine mix, a cattle dog, and a cat that believes she is really a dog.

- Satan’s Garden: A Novel by Kit Lyman -
About Satan’s Garden: A Novel by Kit Lyman:
Dani and Keely imagined that life was more magical than others believed. If they had to be summed up, their one plus one would equal three. Together, they became something greater. It was twin sisters against the world.
But the world had different plans.
The man followed them to their secret tree house that unusually warm day in September. He only came for one, there and gone in the blink of an eye.
“Satan’s Garden” takes you on the six-year journey of two sisters who learn what it means to survive. It’s a story of resiliency, hope, and above all, a bond that cannot be taken away. It teaches us how quickly life can change and yet how much of it we can change ourselves.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
I wasn’t always a writer. In fact, I was a non-writer, a serial quitter of diaries. If you were to rummage through the “Kit’s Pack Rat Box,” you would most likely find over twenty different notebooks inside. Each would have approximately five pages of illegible chicken scratch, the remaining sheets left forgotten and blank. It wasn’t because I didn’t have anything to say, for I was a child rarely at a loss for words—tall tales and quips were my specialty. It had to do with three things:1). I didn’t yet know the purpose of “writing it all down;”
2). I thought my imagination was too wild to share; and
3). I realized I had a bit of living to do before finding the right story to tell.My grandpa once told me that I could do whatever I set my mind to, with help from the right people. As always, he knew what he was talking about. I’ve been fortunate to have the right people by my side all my life, but not just in the traditional sense. Encouraging parents. Supportive sisters. Invigorating friends. They have been so much more than roles played and spots filled. They are creators, designers, innovators, and builders, helping to mold me—mold my stories. My very own sculptors.
I didn’t grow up planning for a life as a writer. Instead, I dreamed of becoming a professional Matchbox car racer, narrator of Barbie soap operas, Build-A-Bear Workshop helper, Pokemon trader, Tech Deck announcer, sideways-pencil-dive judge, and an architect of Lego kingdoms. My third grade self often spoke of becoming a Hollywood starlet, and if the bright lights faded out, I would live out my days as a forensic scientist. It took dissecting a frog in eighth grade to realize C.S.I. was propaganda. It wasn’t real life.
I haven’t fully moved on from my nonsensical ideas but rather found a different place for them to live. Those pieces of me can exist in my stories, through my characters who make those parts real. Stories have become my atom, those basic units that make up my life.

About EKHO: EVIL KID HUNTING ORGANIZATION by Marie Jones and Max Jones:EKHO is written by a mother and son team, about the son’s real life spy agency he formed when being bullied in grade school…with a special science fiction touch…
Ten-year-old Elvis Jones is tired of being picked on, taunted, and teased by the bullies at his elementary school, so he does what any smart, technologically brilliant kid his age would do: he creates EKHO, the Evil Kid Hunting Organization, a sophisticated network of kid spies and secret agents that utilize a variety of cool gadgets to stay one step ahead of the enemy – the bullies. They hire kids, make them swear allegiance to the organization, and train them as Commandos, Privates, and Elite Spies. As kids rise through the ranks, the missions, posted on an encrypted EKHO website, require more smarts and skill, especially when the bullies form their own counterspy group called DEKE (Destroy EKHO Kids Everywhere). It’s all in good fun, until the kids of EKHO must put their pretend skills to use for far more serious, and dangerous, missions. As field agents come across evidence of more sinister forces, they now have to deal with the strange, weird, and the unknown as they look for the truth about the bizarre and creepy threats to their school, their families, and their own lives. They experience betrayal, intrigue, infiltration and counter-espionage as well as teachers and adults who act more mysterious with each passing day, which leaves Elvis and his EKHO team wondering: who can you trust when the person standing next to you might not be entirely human?Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

- Niall and the Irish Pirates by Daniel Duffield -
About Niall and the Irish Pirates by Daniel DuffieldBy the year 355 CE, the Roman Empire had expanded westward first conquering Gaul (France) and then Briton. The Romans then ventured northward in an attempt to conquer Alba (Scotland) before continuing westward to conquer the adjacent emerald isle called Eriu (Ireland). Torna knew from the moment he found the abandoned newborn baby in the deep forests that he was being protected and guided by the forest spirits for some great task.
An abandoned newborn, found in the deep forests, reared by a poet, protected and guided by the forest spirits. Would the baby become savior for the people of Eriu and stop the Roman Empire from their ever-expanding reign of tyranny? Torna only knew that he and his wife were to do their part and raise the child as their own and they named him Niall. Niall’s path was up to the spirits of the oak trees who were involved in the destiny of all.

About BROKEN WING:
Two people who have both suffered tragic losses in their young life; both of them avoiding love for completely different reasons. Joshua, a soldier in the British Army, a bomb disposal expert and the very best at what he does. Angelina, an editor for a local newspaper and writer in her spare time.

- My Familiar Stranger -
About My Familiar Stranger:Bestselling author, Victoria Danann, brings us a complex, unique, and wonderfully heartwarming serial that begins with this story.In a matter of minutes Elora Laiken lost everything familiar. She escaped death by being forced into an experiment that left her in another world where modern day knights, elves, vampires, werewolves, witches, demons and fae became her allies, friends and family. She discovered a place where adventure intersects fairytales, where honor converges with ideals, and she learned that love can find you in the strangest places, when you’re least expecting it, even when you’re far, far from home.

My early work (eight-years-old) would be called fan fiction today. I began by writing my version of Bobbsey Twins novels on legal pads that my dad brought home from the office. As an only child – in the days before children became little electronic receivers – there was often not much to do other than seek amusement in my own head.Childhood fantasies involved being the only girl (for some odd reason) at a ranch for wayward boys. Yes. I do realize this sounds vaguely familiar. Those fantasies were supported by real life events because the boys included me in the afternoon neighborhood games whether it was cowboy/Indians or G.I. Joe.
When I left the Bobbsey Twins behind I didn’t write again until I was married with children and in my mid-twenties. I completed a paranormal romance and gave it to my spouse to read. After hearing his criticisms I didn’t write again for decades. At the time I didn’t understand that he’s the absolute farthest thing from my audience.
It turned out to be a blessing because during that time that I didn’t write, I lived an extremely full life. I traveled a lot, raised a family, got an education (I have an M.A. in Psychology.) and explored my compulsion to be a spiritual seeker. The fantasies were a constant companion throughout. The faces and names of the characters changed as I matured, but they remained a source of comfort. They helped me through hell-raising teenagers and three near-death scares.
By the time I started writing again, I had something to say.
I write cross-genre with uniquely fresh perspectives on paranormal creatures, characters, and themes. Add a dash of scifi and a flourish of fantasy to enough humor to make you laugh out loud and enough steam to make you squirm in your chair. My heroines are independent femmes with flaws and minds of their own whether they are aliens, witches, demonologists, psychics, or past life therapists. My heroes are hot and hunky, but they also have brains, character, and good manners – usually – whether they be elves, demons, berserkers, werewolves, or vampires.
My first book, My Familiar Stranger, was nominated for Best Paranormal Romance of by both Reviewers’ Choice and Readers’ Choice Awards. All of my books have opened on the Amazon Best Sellers list and earned Night Owl Reviews TOP PICK awards.
My work has been compared to J R Ward, Karen Marie Moning, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Lara Adrian.
If you’re interested in me personally, I am also a classically trained musician who defected to Classic Rock.
This is Roadhouse, the very best in Classic Rock, taken near The Last Concert Cafe, Houston Texas, 2011. I’m the utility player which means I play rhythm guitar, keyboards, sing back ups and a few leads.
I have authored and illustrated Seasons of the Witch calendars and planners for fifteen years and teach magickal arts for Seasons in Avalon. I live in The Woodlands, Texas which is why I sometimes joke about being the witch in the woods. Married. Four children. One very smart, mostly black German Shepherd dog.

About Love after Marriage:
Love after Marriage
SynopsisRoshni was born and raised in an upper middle class family with good family values; she is highly educated and well placed professionally. She believes in arranged marriages and trusts her father to find her groom, and he does…his best friend’s son, Deepak, who lives in the US. Deepak strongly believes in love marriages; in his opinion, there is better compatibility and commitment when one selects his or her own partner. Roshni believes that both partners have to be open, honest and committed to the relationship for it to be successful, and this is true with either marriage—love or arranged.
Circumstances bring these two young people together in a traditional arranged marriage, one committed to marriage and one remaining noncommittal. Deepak agrees to this marriage ‘feeling pressured’ only to reveal this truth to Roshni soon after. In a moment everything comes to a standstill in Roshni’s life; she feels betrayed, rejected, and all her dreams are shattered.
Deepak is indecisive whether to continue this relationship, and returns to the US. Roshni is a woman of integrity and high self-esteem and decides to walk out of Deepak’s life. However, prior to her wedding, Roshni had made a promise to her father that with her exemplary behavior and love, she would bring about positive changes in Deepak’s family, who have not healed from past experiences. She feels caught between a rock and a hard place! Being very mature and outspoken, she discusses this with Deepak and makes a decision to remain with Deepak’s family for one year, a year from her wedding date, as this would give her an opportunity to help them in the healing process.
Eventually, her efforts pay off…she influences Deepak’s brothers and brings several positive changes in the family. Will she be able to influence Deepak as she did the other family members? Will Deepak acknowledge the marriage and love Roshni? How will he win Roshni back in his life, and will Roshni ever forgive Deepak and accept him?

I moved to Sweden to work as an academic scientist, and I was fascinated by the ever-present music in the culture. The language of Swedish songs often verges on being comprehensible to an English speaker. I found a treasury of material in the traditional narrative folk-ballads, almost unknown outside Scandinavia. Warrior Lore is my second collection of English translations of these ballads, and I hope that this can help to bring this early literary tradition to a new audience.Warrior Lore by Ian Cumpstey is a post from Awesome Gang

My name is Jonathan Vine, and I was caught up in the vegetarian lifestyle a few years back. I have to say that giving up on meat did not struck me in a single moment, nor it was a swift decision, but an inner journey that evolved within a few months. Eventually I took a final decision that the suffering of animals is my grief and my motivation.
I was always enthusiastic about cooking. For me this is absolutely one of the greatest joys life can offer. With my vegetarian cooking style, I never feel deprived of what I eat, but rather satisfied and exhilarated with each bite.
My goal is to publish books that will empower readers to improve their health and well-being through simple everyday ingredients and low fat recipes that make eating affordable, realistic and delicious.Vegetarian Weight Loss is a post from Awesome Gang

Come to Rainbow Rock, Arizona to meet the McAllister Men-Jim, Kurt and Chris.
Jim McAllister has worked hard to become a respected dealer in Navajo and Hopi art, yet success hasn’t given him what he wants most-a love and family of his own. The daughter of a serial-marrying mother, Meg Taylor has a fear of emotional intimacy and a grudge against the town that once mistreated her. Meg returns to help a friend and is startled to find that “Little Jimmy” has become one of the most attractive men she has ever met. As their feelings rekindle, each must assess what matters most.
Kurt McAllister has everything. So why is he discontent? Alexa Babbidge has just earned her first break as a screenwriter. So why does bad luck find her now? Kurt and Alexa have differing ideas about what constitutes success, so why are they so drawn to one another? This heart-warming love story examines Navajo weaving, small town living, and the nature of independence versus inter-dependence.
Chris McAllister is a healthy bachelor looking for fun and some help on his pig farm. He doesn’t want romantic complications. Behind her composure, pretty veterinarian Sarah McGill is hiding personal secrets. The last thing she needs is some handsome cowboy stirring up trouble, digging for answers, making her feel emotions she never wanted to feel again. When a project for the Navajo Nation throws them together, they must decide whether they can risk making promises they may not be able to keep.

Hi, I’m Ace McCloud, full time professional Author. I have been studying and executing in self-improvement/Health/Peak Performance for the last twenty years, and I have spent thousands of dollars and lots of time and energy in this endeavor. Here’s a little bit about myself: I am a fitness enthusiast, I am just over forty years of age, an avid reader and writer, and peak performance specialist. I enjoy writing on subjects that will truly be helpful to thousands of people. I have been a long time Tony Robbins fan and have always loved reading and using his cutting edge self-improvement strategies. I also enjoy bodybuilding as one of my main exercise routines, and have been lifting weights for over twenty five years now. Arnold Schwarzenegger has also been a great inspiring figure for me to work hard and produce solid results.Walking around outside and in nature is something I try to do every day. I enjoy competition and always try to be the best at whatever I do. I am the oldest of three brothers and one sister and I was captain of my Indoor and Outdoor high school State Championship Track Team, winning many medals as a sprinter/middle distance runner and pole vaulter. I also held the leg press record in the weight room in two different weight classes for over fifteen years after I graduated. I have been able to accomplish lots of other fairly impressive things over the years by being able to focus my time, energy and strategic skills to a particular task until it is accomplished.
I graduated college successfully with a Business/English degree at an excellent University, and I have had many successful years in the business realm. The rat race was never really my thing, however, and after fifteen years of it I took some time off to be a pro gamer, ranking in 2010 as a world top 100 player in the #1 game in the world at the time with over twenty five million players. I couldn’t help feeling, however, that my talents where being wasted.
I have finally returned to my true passion, which has always been writing. It is something I have been good at since I was young. Now that I have given up unnecessary distractions and focused my life on health, peak performance, and being an author, I plan to deliver truly useful content in my E-Books so that you can get the Best E-Books at the Best Price! I am more than happy to share everything that I have learned over the years so that you too can start enjoying incredible victories in your life!

Disaster strikes, and it is Diane who becomes Mickey’s first human test subject. There’s a catch…the healing process requires a surrogate, and Mickey chooses their mutual friend, lover and temptress—the beautiful Suki. The resurrection of Diane that transpires is not only a transfer of physical and cerebral attributes, but a blending of relationships, feelings, and emotions, drawing many into the fray, ending as shockingly as it begins.

It is “brilliantly written, well thought out, and refreshingly different.” Father Hugh, a strong alpha male, is destined to become your next book boyfriend. This book is emotionally powerful and will stay with you long after you finish reading.
Becoming a priest wasn’t his plan, but when the wealthy Tyler Oswin suffers a tragic loss, the safety of the church seemed the perfect place to find solace and peace. Now Father Hugh, he works and tries to do good but his carnal nature and bad boy desires always seems to get in the way of fully committing to his new profession.
Amy Lansing felt lost as a teenager after her father died and deals with her loneliness by joining the convent. She’s not living – she’s hiding. Holding onto the past is keeping her from dealing with her future and when she meets Father Hugh, her heart starts beating again, despite knowing that there can never be anything more than a friendship between them. A forbidden romance should be out of the question.
With all that has happened in the past, and the difficulty of their current situation, it seems that neither Tyler nor Amy will find the happily ever after they are both desperately searching for. But love has a way of bringing them together, only to find that his sins from the past will threaten their future.

Al Judge is a professional photographer and author living with his wife in Sedona, Arizona. In March 2012, the Sedona Area Guild of Artists (SAGA) included Al in their list of the Best Artists of Sedona 2012.Al’s work is on display at the Pop-Up Gallery at Hillside in Sedona, Arizona.
Al’s books use numerous illustrations and clear explanations to take the mystery out of creating excellent images. A few hours spent with one of these books can save the reader from months of frustration and confusion.
Fine-art photography (images suitable for framing and displaying) are the result of an emotional response to something of beauty or interest. This cannot happen if you are stressed out by the technology that you are using to capture those images. Even some of the best books on photography assume that the reader understands a language that is unique to photography. For most of us, this assumption takes the joy out of learning. Al’s books never make this assumption. Every term used is clearly defined and explained so that you will never be left scratching your head and wondering what you missed.
Although Al’s books are quite comprehensive, they are written in such a way that no prior knowledge of photography is required. We all learn at different speeds and in different ways. For any skill developed, excellence comes with practice. These books will increase the effectiveness of your practice by steering you in the right direction and exposing the error of some common misconceptions. They provide a solid foundation for accelerated learning.
If you would rather be taking pictures than sitting in a classroom, these books are for you. If you have a limited budget, these books are for you. If you don’t know enough about photography to ask the right questions, these books are for you. If you want more control over the learning process, these books are for you. Most importantly, if you want to be taking exceptional photographs in record time, these books are for you.
Al believes that we can learn a lot from the masters of any craft. With online training videos we have access to photography masters like never before. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the knowledge to fully understand many of these lessons. Al has written books that can get anyone up to speed in just a few hours. His books are never intimidating and are filled with valuable insights, numerous illustrations, and photographic knowledge.
Since retiring from the corporate world, Al has immersed himself into the art of photography with the same passion and enthusiasm that made him a top innovation expert and corporate inventor.
He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and was in charge of New Products Concepts (corporate innovator) for Black & Decker for 23 years prior to his early retirement in 2001.
In 2007, Al published his first book “Innovation’s Missing Link” based on his personal experience at Black & Decker as well as his time as a Board Member of PDMA. The essence of the book is human creativity and potential. Al believes that all life experience has a spiritual component and that we are most productive when our values and beliefs are in harmony with our life work. “Innovation’s Missing Link” contains several chapters related to socially-conscious business practices.
Al worked at Black &Decker for a total of 37 years in a variety of roles. As a college student, he was privileged to work on the Lunar Surface Drill. This is the drill that was used by the Apollo Astronauts to take core samples of the moon. He is still humbled to think that there is a drill on the surface of the moon that was once in the trunk of his car. Al designed many of the first cordless power tools. The battery technology used in these tools was a by-product of the Space Program. The Nickel-Cadmium batteries used in these tools provided a model for all cordless technology including iPads, iPods, and smart phones.
Since his retirement, Al has finally been able to focus on his lifelong love of photography. Because of his passion for photography and desire to share what he has learned, he published his first eBook — “Digital Photography Like a Pro!” in October 2012. Since then, Al has published over a dozen more eBooks.

- The Energy Room -
About The Energy Room:Angela Dawson lives in a tiny apartment on the tenth floor, with white walls, a window full of lies, and a hidden camera in the corner of the ceiling. All the coffee and pancakes in the world couldn’t make her choose her current residence over a soggy cardboard box in the back of a flea-infested alley. Of course, she doesn’t have that option.
Angie has been raised in the captivity of The Facility for as long as she can remember. Though she is able to manipulate elements, The Facility took measures, after her first failed escape attempt, to prevent the use of her abilities outside of testing: Electro-Cuffs. They are as painful and deterring as the name suggests, and the ever-present threat of electrocution ensures that Angie’s power is anything other than her own.
Now, almost eighteen years old and with no hope of escape, Angie has surrendered to her life of testing, poking, and prodding within the thirty-floor, underground prison. That is, until a suspicious young psychologist is hired to crack open her most protected secret; the locations of the five others like herself, to whom she is connected in her dreams.
Faced with decisions based on trust, love, deceit, and breakfast foods, Angie’s transformation into an adult—and into a human being—is far more extraordinary than she could have ever imagined within the suffocating walls that raised her.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
An overactive imagination and open-minded upbringing made for the perfect combination to create the author Styna Lane would eventually become. Raised to believe originality and creativity were the keys to happiness, she was instilled with the knowledge that most of life’s boundaries are far more fictional than the Fantasy books in which she secluded herself.Having lived in six different states by the time she was nineteen, Styna is no stranger to the road. After spending the majority of her life chasing her dreams wherever they led her, she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2010, which confined her to her bed much of the time.
Following a small bout of self-loathing, Styna decided she would not let these new boundaries have control over her. She began to utilize her most prevalent childhood trait; her overactive imagination. Styna quickly found that writing the adventures she created in her mind provided her with a total escape from her physical confines. It may not be a coincidence that her debut novel, THE ENERGY ROOM, focuses on a girl who has tremendous powers, but is trapped in a place where she believes she has no control.
Styna hopes to bring awareness to Invisible Illnesses, as well as inspire those who may have thought they’d gone on their last adventure.

- To Catch a Salaryman by Brandon Wells -
About To Catch a Salaryman by Brandon Wells:
Mr. Yamamoto hates his job. He is a middle-aged Japanese salaryman who works for Hello Kitty. He particularly hates the fact that people get to come into his office and pitch him ideas for new Hello Kitty products. So, he finds other ways to amuse himself. When he’s not looking at porn on his computer, he’s making inappropriate advances towards his scatterbrained secretary. However, things begin to spin out of control when he meets a much younger girl and follows her all the way to the beach.
What emerges is an irresistibly ironic story of desire, deceit, and deception, a perversely magical romance set in the world of Hello Kitty and exotic Japan.
