Twenty-eight-year-old mayor’s assistant Elizabeth has enough on her plate grieving her father’s suicide. She doesn’t need his stash of magical knowledge in the attic. She doesn’t need the hidden supernatural subculture of monsters it pulls her into. And she certainly doesn’t need hints that her father’s madness might have been a smokescreen for something far darker. But uncovering her father’s secrets could be the only way Elizabeth can stop a string of suspicious suicides… if the local wizard doesn’t rip the memories out of her mind, first. Wizards, right?

Book excerpt: **A New York Times top 100 Notable Book of the Year** Alexander Bruno is a man with expensive problems. Sporting a tuxedo and trotting the globe, he has spent his adult life as a professional gambler. His particular line of work: backgammon, at which he extracts large sums of money from men who think they can challenge his peerless acumen. In Singapore, his luck turned. Maybe it had something to do with the Blot – a black spot which has emerged to distort Bruno’s vision. It’s not showing any signs of going away. As Bruno extends his losing streak in Berlin, it becomes clinically clear that the Blot is the symptom of something terrible. There’s a surgeon who can help, but surgery is going to involve a lot of money, and worse: returning home to the garish, hash-smoke streets of Berkeley, California. Here, the unseemly Keith Stolarsky – a childhood friend in possession of an empire of themed burger bars and thrift stores – is king. And he’s willing to help Bruno out. But there was always going to be a price.

Book excerpt: I transmigrated and became a discarded queen. The emperor doesn't care about anything. All he thinks about is trash. When he sees me, he can't eat. The harem is lonely, teaching people to gamble and earn a few meals. The princes, each more handsome and rich than the last, enthusiastically invited me out of the palace for a gamble. Meeting a proud pockmarked face, betting on whether or not to pay. He said domineeringly, "I am the Emperor. All the money in this world is mine. Why should I give it to you, fat woman?" "You're the emperor, and I'm also the empress. If I lose, I won't pay ..." I ran, but didn't give him the money. He was the emperor, so if he caught the empress gambling, he wouldn't be wasted. I won't retire even if I were beaten to death. There were many pretty boys outside, but it was also very dangerous. They all wanted to think about their own ideas. Beautiful men were like wine, intoxicating one with their eyes. The pockmarked emperor looked like a dog and wanted to bite me. The Second Sky of Fire and Ice trembled as they watched the battle between men. For power, for power, for me.

Download or read book Casino Child written by Lama Milkweed Augustine PhD and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-01-29 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A boy who was adopted by an ebullient owner of a thriving Las Vegas casino, but was born as a laiving composite. His entire torso was an unobstructed rendition of a "flat top" slot machine. A tale of high action, but deep insights into one who is handicapped, and where love takes the often chaotic foreground of this little family. The child is actually a mystical King, the "King of the Slot Machines," and came here on his own accord as a diving "mission" to communicate the needs of his gentle slot machines of the world. However in the process, he succumbs to a myriad of medical afflictions from being birthed in this manner, which he was known as the "CASINO CHILD." He pases away from his body's reluctant holdings, but long prior to his death, he touches lives of those around the Las Vegas gambling strip in a perplexity of ways; making the slot machines respond by a mere spoken word or a whispering conversation. Facing catastrophic loneliness and truthfully realizing life from no longer the perspective of his obedient slot machines, he brings people into the state of awareness in ways not normally achieved. When the child passes away at his father's sparking casino at night, the entire strip is doused into an inky blacknes, as every slot machine the world over, mourns for the death of their gentle and mystical King and Creator, has passed into the very Heaven He has long ago created for his quiet and gentle own. 'King of the Slot Machines" came to his parents in a dream three days after his passing, and bequeathed his divine knowledge about his mission-"to communicate the needs of his slot machines, but perhaps "our" needs as well."
