A beautiful, free-spirited psychotherapist, Polish-born Natalie tires of her dull English husband, David, and desires to divorce him. Having fled her abusive first husband, whom she still loves, Natalie has fulfilled her dreams of impressing him by obtaining both a new career and a wealthy spouse, yet satisfaction strangely lurks just out of her grasp. Dark thoughts begin to stray into and eventually consume her mind, and Natalie begins her journey into realizing her forbidden desires of sexual revenge and murder. Krystyna Stevenson’s provocative new novel What’s the Truth? boldly explores the sensuality and brutality of the new feminism in a cross-cultural environment, shattering its myths, outlining its strengths, and detailing its place and effect upon romance. Repressed for years under the imposition of male will, deceit, and cruelty, Natalie embarks on a path of self-discovery in which she finds in her own sexuality an instrument of pleasure and the method of implementing the destruction of her antagonists. A haunting caricature of contemporary attitudes and sexual mores, Krystyna Stevenson’s erotically charged psycho-thriller probes with an all-too-deft hand the baser instincts that emerge in men and women when the traditional lines between professional and sexual roles become blurred. As it subtly plays upon our deeply rooted subconscious fantasies and fears, What the Truth? swells with suspense and intrigue in compelling men and women alike into an uncomfortable reexamination of their world, themselves, and each other.

Two boys and a girl embark on a fictional story into the realm of Christian cults. Their adventure illustrates the simplicity of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the importance of having a personal relationship with God, and how forgiveness plays a key role in recovering from spiritual abuse.

Once Upon a Dragon was written as a payback for my recovery from heroin addiction because somewhere along the line I learned in my recovery that I had to give something back and I must not forget from whence I came. Therefore, Once upon a Dragon is somewhat of a chronicle of key points of my recovery from me to you. It covers roughly twenty years of bits and pieces of this ex dopefiend's, experience's, strength's and hope's.

And of how I went from incarceration to inspiration, 130lbs to 180lbs, zero credit to credit, tax liability to tax payer, player to prayer, uneducated to degreed, dysfunctional to functional, nightmares to dreams, unemployable to professional, nods to God's, outlaw to poet, user to used, taker to giver, hater to lover and finally from sword's to peace.

Chapter One-Describes the Dragon who is initially identified as King Heroin but as time goes by it evolves to be life in general. To battle the Dragon-Heroin was one battle, but life, it is discovered after the clarifying process is allowed to occur has always been a battlefield and the battles have been and are many.

Chapter Two-Moment of Clarity explains how a historic moment in my recovery changed my future and also lays down how it was for me on the battlefield and tells it like it is about substance abuse.

Chapter Three-The Swords of Peace provides some of the weapons I used for battle against the Dragons of our lives, which led me to a content inner peace, after self discovery of the treasure within.

Thus let Once Upon a Dragon become a part of your recovery arsenal and use it as a Sword of Peace because if you could talk to anybody who knew me in my drug slinging days they would probably say that I was the last person on earth they would have expected to change, because I was hopeless, the worst of the worst, the bottom of the bottom, horribly addicted and restricted, eternally last. Yet here I stand with the grace of God as a testimonial to you and to all that "We do Recover".

This is a collection of essays represents an attempt by the author to strike a blow for the freedom of thought and expression- even if its wrong. Anything that smacks of orthodoxy is avoided where possible, and rigidity of thinking and establishing dogma are treated with equal suspicion.

No claim is made for scholarship, only for an honest attempt to eliminate some of the prejudices from which we all suffer. "Don't kid yourself" is the goal that is strived for - though it may seldom be reached.

Above all, it is hoped that these essays my encourage some people to think for themselves rather than to passively absorb the dubious pronouncements of our self-styled 'authorities', 'religious' and otherwise, who are only too willing to tell us how we should live and what we should believe. This should be our decision only. We betray our birthright when we allow other people to do our thinking for us.

" . . Day after day and night after night I spent in the Whitechapel slums. The detectives knew me, the lodging-house keepers knew me, and at last the poor creatures of the streets came to know me . . To me the frightened women looked for hope. In my presence they felt reassured and welcomed me to their dens and obeyed my commands eagerly . . "

Has a tortured impulse to confess lain long buried beneath these words?

Amidst a vivid evocation of London life in the 1880's, Winslow unfolds the peculiar circumstances of his early years, the telling details of his family history, a shocking blow by blow depiction of each fatal encounter and his fond remembrance of the unfortunate victims of his unholy crusade.

"One of the best murder mysteries ever!" - Warren Allen Smith, author of Who's Who in Hell.

"What a good idea to use Winslow as a suspect! As good a piece of Ripper fiction as I have ever read." - Colin Wilson, author of The Outsider and Jack the Ripper; Summing-Up and Verdict.

"An extraordinary novel. It receives our highest accolade. Recommended!" - Ripperologist magazine.

"One is continually nodding 'Yes, that's how it must have happened!'" - Christopher Michael diGrazia, Ripper Notes.
