ronFrom the Editor...January 2011

Ahhh...finally...another Presidential Election year. Leap Year. The field on the Republican side of the presidential election process was crowded—and every one of the candidates, except for two huddled as close to the extreme right as they could, seeing who could be the most anti-gay. Of course, two of them were completely nuts: Bachman and Santorum. By the end of January, Santorum should join Bachman on the sidelines. The other anti-gay candidates are Romney, the Newt (I can't think of him as anything other than the ingredients in the Witches' brew "eye of Newt.," Perry, and Paul. The only two candidates who aren't anti-gay are Huntsman (for civil unions), and former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson. Johnson of course dropped out of the Republican party and wants to be the Libertarian candidate. If the Libertarian party, which will have a candidate on all 50 state ballots, pulls any votes from either the eventual Republican nominee or Obama, it might be another spoiler election like that of 2000 when Al Gore lost to Dubya in Florida. Still, I like Gary Johnson. He's the ONLY candidate to fully support gay marriage, without reservation, and he supports legalizing marijuana. If we could get marijuana legalized and entrepreneurs could package and sell it like cigarettes, and the government could tax the hell out of it, this would be a new and probably significant revenue stream.

But that's not likely to happen—Johnson getting elected and marijuana being legalized.

So, I'm just going to check in on the various primaries the morning after and see how long it takes for the Republicans to finally come up with a nominee. And if it's Romney, despite the Republicans having to hold their noses to get behind him against Obama, I want to see who this genuine conservative is going to choose for his VP.

I'm not making any predictions. But I am a political junkie, and this is the year for watching it all unfold.

With her life as a private investigator in Chicago firmly established, Jan Roberts can often forget where she came from—a backwoods survivalist camp run by her paranoid, dictatorial father. After risking her life at sixteen to escape the camp, she finds it hard to understand the runaway teenager she's been hired to find. With each step on the trail to find her, Jan realizes the girl is running to the same part of Idaho she fled, a digital age version of her father's way of life.

Complicating her mission is the new owner of the security firm she works for, a former British agent who has her own secrets to hide. When the sparks fly between them, Jan finds Catherine wanting to share not only her bed, but also her quest to find the missing teen. The journey to the deep woods of Idaho is a voyage to the heart of darkness for Jan, where the reality of her past can no longer be contained, or her feelings for Catherine denied.

Only thing is, it's another guy.

Living life on the sidelines of the local hip-hop scene, Tyson finds that to succeed in becoming a local graffiti artist or in getting the man of his dreams, he's going to have to get a whole lot more involved.

Twelve years of terror end with a world in flames. Behind filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl’s stirring footage of a million joyous patriots, the horror of Nazi Germany unfolds. It engulfs Katja Sommer, a “good German” who discovers honor in treason; Frederica Brandt, active in the highest circles of power; Rudi Lamm, homosexual camp survivor and forced SS killer; and Peter Arnhelm, a half- Jewish terrorist. Under the scrutiny of the familiar monsters of the Third Reich, these four struggle for life, decency, and each other. Love does not conquer all, but it’s better than going to hell alone.

Delve into the darker side of human nature with these sixteen stories by William Holden. As darkness enters the mind through revenge, jealousy, paranoia, or the uncanny operations of a supernatural force, these stories lead you onto new heights of fear… and arousal. In "Felonious Behavior," Jack Stevens takes matters into his own hands when the police can't or won't do anything about the driver who ran him down. In "The Other Man," a sex doll named Joey finds life through jealousy over his owner’s new boyfriend. "Fear #2 – Hierophobia, The Fear of Priests" tells of Gian, who returns home to confront his childhood fear—only to find that the priest who once terrified him isn't human, and his destiny is to follow in the priest’s dark footsteps. The human mind is fragile. How much fear one person can handle depends on how deep the darkness runs.
