Once A King, Now A Prince: “The true tale of family dysfunction, the mob, sex, drugs & Rock N Roll.”

  

Once A King, Now A Prince:

“The true tale of family dysfunction, the mob, sex, drugs & Rock N Roll.”

Once A King, Now A Prince tells the story of a severely abused child, whose father convinced him of being evil, to the point of looking in mirrors and, upon seeing his extra-long incisors, thought he looked like a devil. His self-image, to survive this, with what little tools any small child has, was that at least he was "the king of the devils", hence the title "Once A King."

The book continues with his experiences at school, the draft, and his efforts to avoid it, as well as his music ventures leading up to graduation. Finally, upon graduation, he was "made an offer he couldn't refuse." This offer was a double entendre, in that it was for a major music Agency, headed by a former major mobster, who was part of the Capone gang. This part explains the subtitling of "The true tale of family dysfunction, the mob, sex, drugs & Rock N Roll.' The book continues with the success as depicted by walking into Elaine's with Rod Stewart and seeing all heads turn, and walking into an industry event where one whispers to another, "Hey, that's Ira Blacker." The book also doesn't hide any warts and depicts the lows of growing up and the loss that followed three years of representation by Deep Purple.

Angels on Earth

When Angels Walk Among Us, What Do They Want From Us?

What if angels are not distant, flawless beings—but broken, yearning, and dangerously close to human desire?

That question hums beneath every page of Angels on Earth by Steven Lundquist, a bold and unsettling collection of interconnected stories that refuses to treat heaven as a safe place and love as a gentle force. This is not a book about halos and mercy. It is a book about consequences.

Set across eras and continents—from rain-soaked streets of 1890s Bucharest to Depression-era Texas, from the Spanish Steps of Rome to the far edge of the world—Angels on Earth asks one relentless question: What happens when divine beings fall in love with human suffering?

Lundquist writes with a voice that is lyrical, ferocious, and unafraid to stare into moral darkness. His angels bleed. His humans dream dangerously. Love is never abstract—it is physical, consuming, and often catastrophic. In one story, a love potion meant for a monstrous Count binds the wrong souls together, unleashing devotion that defies heaven itself. In another, a young woman’s dreams blur into reality as she is drawn toward infamous outlaws and cosmic judgment. Elsewhere, grief drives a man to crawl—literally—toward heaven, step by painful step, daring God to notice him.

A darkly lyrical meditation on love, faith, and rebellion, Angels on Earth by Steven Lundquist dares to ask what happens when heaven’s messengers fall fatally in love with humanity.

This collection will speak powerfully to readers who crave literary speculative fiction, dark romantic mythology, and philosophical explorations of faith, free will, and desire. Fans of morally complex storytelling—where beauty and brutality coexist—will recognize a writer who trusts his audience to sit with discomfort and ask hard questions.

Will you dare to find out what an angel is willing to sacrifice to love you?

Ray Bailey – The Common

London is drowning in blood. The Russian mafia is tightening its grip on the city, leaving the Metropolitan Police struggling to keep control. But for DI Ray Bailey and DI Dennis Carter, this isn’t just another case—it’s war.

As seasoned cops, they know the system doesn’t always work. To bring the Russians down, they turn to the one man ruthless enough to fight back—Billy Anderson, the last of the old-school London gangsters with his own score to settle. Together, they wage a brutal campaign, where justice is served in blood and betrayal lurks at every corner.

Caught in the crossfire is DI Laura Banks, who, when working on the case of a missing six-year-old, uncovers some deadly truths.

As the streets become a battlefield, one question remains: how far will they all go? Because in a city where power is taken, not given, the difference between a cop and a criminal is just one bad decision.

Lessons from the Front: A Rookie War Correspondent in Ukraine and Israel

  

Lessons from the Front:

A Rookie War Correspondent in Ukraine and Israel

Robert Sherman was a 25-year-old kid who thought he knew everything about the world. One day, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the young journalist who had spent his time covering local politics found himself smack dab in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical crisis -- fleeing air raids and getting accused by local authorities of being a Russian spy. A year later, he found himself in the Middle East running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza. There's no textbook that teaches you that. In the end Robert's whole view of the world changed and he quickly realized its the simple things in life that matter most: family, home, community, and time. I'm attaching an excerpt of the book here too

Are You a Kindle Reader… or a Paper-Cut Survivor? Let’s Talk Books

Let’s settle one of the great modern debates: Are you a Kindle reader, or are you still hauling around physical books like it’s an Olympic sport? This is not a judgment zone—okay, maybe a little—but it is a place to laugh, compare notes, and ask the important questions. Like why your backpack weighs 40 pounds when a Kindle weighs less than a slice of toast.

The Case for Kindle Readers (AKA Tiny Library, Big Attitude)

Kindle readers have quietly mastered efficiency. You can carry thousands of books in one slim device and still have room in your bag for snacks. Kindle books don’t dog-ear, don’t get coffee stains, and don’t dramatically bend when you fall asleep reading on your side. You can adjust font size, brightness, and even background color—meaning your eyes no longer have to suffer just because the author loved microscopic fonts.

From an SEO standpoint (because yes, even blogs need SEO), Kindle readers love:

• Instant ebook downloads

• Portable digital libraries

• Lightweight e-readers

• Affordable ebooks

• Reading anywhere, anytime

Plus, let’s be honest: buying a Kindle book at 2 a.m. while wrapped in a blanket burrito is peak modern civilization.

But What About “The Smell of Books”?

Yes, physical book lovers will tell you they enjoy:

• The smell of paper

• The sound of turning pages

• The aesthetic of bookshelves that scream “I read!”

And that’s fair. But Kindle readers enjoy things like no paper cuts, no cracked spines, and no explaining to airport security why you packed six novels for a weekend trip. Also, Kindle books don’t judge you for reading three romance novels and a conspiracy theory back-to-back.

Efficiency Wins (But Everyone’s Welcome Here)

Kindle readers aren’t replacing books—they’re upgrading how we read. Faster access, better portability, adjustable settings, and often cheaper prices make Kindles a powerhouse for modern readers. Whether you’re a casual reader, a nightly binge-reader, or someone who finishes books faster than your friends finish Netflix series, a Kindle just makes sense.

So now we ask you:
👉 Are you a Kindle reader, a paper book loyalist, or a hybrid reader living dangerously in both worlds?

Drop a comment below and defend your reading style with pride. Just remember—no matter how you read, the real win is reading more.
