«Random Friends» a novel about two dwellers in a big city. Yumi, beautiful young woman architect. Once she met up with an office clerk name Daichi, their friendship revealed a deeper mystery. You’ll find answers to unasked questions. Two dreamed of many, but felt lost at thirty. Why they looking for oblivion to numb their yearnings, drowning longing, cynically trampling an own portrait from charming youth? Yumi has led a shadowy life, having been a solo parkour tracer. She had drawn attention by being caught on CCTV and the footage went straight to the Osaka News channel. Her face was hooded, dressed pretty unusual, an oversized jacket, backpack, earphones over the hood, and two pigtails that sometimes slipped out. Her tough, obscure style immediately makes her popular, but she didn’t wish so. Yumi has crossed the barrier, where the past has been thrown into the dustbin, but the future is yet to come. Two spare time together, having dinner, drinking a lot, musing on the ideas of Julius Evola. Their tricky humour was off the charts and friendship revealed deep secrets, but could they stay together despite the blows of fate? Here’s to more cheerful moments and bright days! I wonder why you’re here, cause it’s not like anyone reads my books. You’re interested in my literature, aren’t you? But my novellas are for the poor. Me too was avoiding the downpour and dozing under the bridge. I’ve been dispirited and shed tears, but I don’t hold anyone accountable, because there is no one, and nothing at all. You wouldn’t believe me though. Nevermind, I forgive you and granting access to read my books as complement. [more]

Princess Lucifa Belshirin was broken after Jack was killed in front of her very eyes and her parents enslaved by her crazy vampire suitor. To protect her, she was put into a deep sleep and given to the Kingdom of Shadows. Freedom and vengeance never tasted so sweet but the prince given to her proved to be a more difficult task for her broken demon heart. Vampires had overthrown the royals and made the Kingdom of Shadows their own. Humans had become their slaves and the only hope left was to awaken the devil’s daughter-the princess of the dead. The only price they had to pay was to sacrifice their prince to become her slave eternally. Prince Kyle Ravens did not want to be enslaved eternally to a demon princess but for the sake of the kingdom he would bloody hell comply. The only consolation was his vow to himself that the demon would never have his heart even if it killed him. [more]

FURTHERMORE, THIS IS ONLY DESIGNED TO EXPLAIN THE CLOSE QUARTER COMBAT METHODS DESIGNED AND USED BY THE ISRAELI PEOPLE. People like to fight, it’s our nature. Israel is a great example of a country built around combat. Israel currently faces conflict daily, surrounded by people that want them dead. If it weren’t for the fighting styles created out of Jewish suffering the nation of Israel would not be what it is today. In fact, Israeli probably wouldn’t exist without a forge to harden the will of its people. This short book will give descriptions of the different combat methods used by the Israeli people. Haganah, the precursor to Krav Panim El Panim, is described here. Also, this short book will describe Krav Maga, its creator Imrich Lichtenfeld, and the origins of this Israeli Martial Art.
