When this journey began, I was rather green. I knew that I could write, but I did not trust that the correct words would come. I began to wonder what correct was and who had the questions I had. I started out by talking about the issues I had growing up and moving towards who I am today. I spoke as if I was a freak of nature, hoping that I was not alone. Close friends of mine said that I was not and that I needed to write so that others would open up. We should not have to open up but the spiritual realm is changing. To survive and live up to the potential that the almighty wishes for us we should study ourselves more closely and not be afraid of human judgement. While I took a huge risk on my reputation by writing this book, I still felt I needed to speak and bind with the ones who needed the validation that I did. While I love the prospect of speaking to like minds I respect and wish well to ones who do not agree with me or are not ready to expand their thinking. Sometimes it has more to do with who is around us instead of who we are.I began to doubt myself less when I realized that people existed that had never heard of the Mayan Prophecy of 2012. Perhaps because I wanted to give us something positive to look at I chose to not focus on the gloom of it, but enlighten people to a different way of looking at prophecy. Even though I wrote about the positive, I did not spin flowery tales of the future either. We all have our trials and tribulations, joys and sorrows and that has always been and will be true. I have held tight to the phrase when one door closes another one opens and the saying has went as small as a window opening up too. I suppose I wanted to speak and clear the air by opening a door for some and a window for others. It is all about choice. When I began this book, I was looking for a window and now it has become a door for me. I wanted to converse with people I had no way of meeting or knowing about and I figured that the most respectful way to do so was to write. People who crave the information and adventure that I must can seek me out in words instead of forcing my ways and words on them. While the revelation in manifesting this book was discovered by alternative measures, hypnosis is and can be used by all ready to truly seek and change that, which lies within us. Read on and see what lies ahead for you. Thank you for listening and seeking adventure may God bless you. V.M. Vulgamore

A frustrated geologist studying global warming becomes obsessed with eating rocks after embarking on his first same-sex relationship in Europe. Back home, his young sister is a high-school girl who suddenly starts to ooze honey through her pores, an affliction that attracts hordes of bees as well as her male classmates but ultimately turns her into a social pariah. Meanwhile, their obsessive Pentecostal mother repeatedly calls on the Holy Spirit to rid her family of demons. The siblings are reunited on a ship bound for Europe where they hope to start a new life, but are unaware that their disguised mother is also on board and plotting to win back their souls, with the help of the Virgin Mary. Told in a lush baroque prose, this intense, extravagant magic-realist novel combines elements of fairy tales, horror movies, and romances to create a comic, hallucinatory celebration of excess and sensuality. Barry Webster's first book, The Sound of All Flesh, won the ReLit Award for story collections.

Illumined by Munro’s unflinching insight, these lives draw us in with their quiet depth and surprise us with unexpected turns.

About Book Roy's Frosted Glass did very well in the market. His Pentacles and Winter Poems, did so well that Amazon Audible converted them into Audio books by the Australian young jazz singer, Colin Newcomer. Abyss was on the bestseller list at the Oxford Bookstore at the Kolkata Book Fair in 2014. Random Subterranean Mosaic: 2012–2018 is a kaleidoscope of random, yet mysteriously structured to a pattern, fiction, semi-autobiographical, and autobiographical pieces, covering poems, short-shorts, opinions, observations, and conversations. Roy says: “All my life I have struggled to achieve an optimal lucidity in language and expression that is required to demystify the hidden self and selves and agendas. I hope I have achieved this in a large measure in this fifth book of mine!”
