Key Gifford bears the weight of the whole world on his shoulders.
As the 13th Devil, Key was born for a specific purpose: either to
be a sacrifice-a way for Hell to claim and destroy the earth-or to
make a Garden of Eden of our world and grant humans immortality.
Key is the single catalyst to Armageddon or deliverance, and being
responsible for the salvation or death of humanity is a burden he
is desperately trying to escape. In this powerful debut novel, Key
and his partner, Elizabeth Hellsing, must find the Shroud of Turin
if they are to have any hope of changing Key from the 13th Devil
into a human. They'll face unholy opposition at every turn, but if
they succeed, it will cancel out the prophecy, free Key from his
own sacrifice... and save the Earth from total destruction.

Tell someone you suffer from bipolar disorder, and that person may
assume a great deal. For instance, he may want to call you
crazy-inches away from your next psychological break or maybe even
dangerous. These assumptions are thanks to media renditions of
insane asylums and men in white coats. In the case of Mr. Kenneth
Watson, none of these assumptions would be true, and yet he is
bipolar manic. "I Am Bipolar Manic" is the true story of one man's
psychological journey. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder very late in
life, Watson spent many years as a successful businessman in
England before relocating to the United States. Once in America,
his success continued. It was quite a shock when his bipolar
diagnosis came to light in Watson's seventies. Surprisingly,
though, Watson considers his self-proclaimed "brain malfunction" to
be a gift from God. Watson never has nightmares. He has mind power
over physical pain, and he often finds himself floating on
emotional highs. He has certainly made mistakes in his life, but no
human being is infallible-including those suffering from bipolar
disorder. "I Am Bipolar Manic" is a look into an aging psyche,
still sharp as a tack, regardless of a so-called malfunction.
Overcoming adversity is only the beginning of this inspiring tale.
