At 19 Lester John was an Olympic hopeful with all of the promise in the world. One accident took it all away. 11 years later he is tortured by the physical and mental pain of losing the only thing he ever wanted. Hung over, he stumbles into work Monday morning as his supervisor calls him into her office. To his surprise she gives him a week off to answer two questions, "Do you find any sense of accomplishment from your job and are you satisfied with your life?" The catch: she hands him a small book that has the power to give him his dreams back. Meanwhile, his best friend Jerry Humberger is on the brink of creating the perfect marijuana plant called, "SUPER-WEED" that will revolutionize the drug industry. Friendships will be tested as these two factory workers in rural Pennsylvania will both stumble upon discoveries that will put them on opposite sides of a hidden war. A novel of supernatural suspense and a love triangle that could make one man the most powerful person in the world.

The darkest hours a soul can endure are brilliantly illuminated in paintings and their descriptions in this very unusual of books. A physical attack while at work in one of California's beautiful state parks plunged Christina Miller into the terrifying world of mental disintegration. Over the next five years she painted, often graphically, the intense and excruciating existence she was drawn into. Her images are not for the timid, as they lay out the altered states of fear, anguish, despair and finally relief. The paintings are deeply symbolic, filled with color, directness and a surprising sense that the painful images seem all too familiar. This book is for those who find themselves in a similar circumstance; or those that might have a loved one that is likewise suffering. "Altered Landscapes" cracks the door for the psychiatric community to view the strange world that they hear their patients talk about but rarely visit themselves.
