A Decade of Home Court Advantage in American Sports” (ISBN: 978-0-9824108-0-6), it exists, but not in the way most people think it does.

In this town, the apocalypse has come and gone, lifting the veil of innocence like a great velvet curtain in an old movie house, where the only victims that don’t return for the sequel are the gods themselves, struck out long ago by the big blue pencil.

* New Book Now Available: A Desperado’s Daily Bread
In this first book of a new literary series, Konrad Ventana draws back the curtains and throws open a window to a perennial drama with a depth of language that can only be described as symphonic. “A Desperado’s Daily Bread: Book One of the Post-Lux Trilogy” (ISBN: 978-0595521548, paperback) is a riveting drama that follows the trail of a Western outlaw biochemist of the subterranean territories through the neo-shamanistic dystopia, neo-contemplative hoo-ha, and blatant neoteny of the 1970’s New Age movements on the hunt for more profound and sublime naturalistic roots.
