«Le Cinq est face à la mort- Le One doit réussir»
‘ The Six shall face Death- The One shall succeed’
The Coven Games were held every hundred years, a pastime in the paranormal world that ignites rivalry from every witch’s coven and were-pack. It’s simple: twelve teens pinned against each other, gifted with unnatural talents, each coven of six teens coached by an Elder, dubbed the Chronicle. The teens must locate the six members of their coven, and destroy any other threats, meaning the six other contestants.
It’s an honor, to be chosen.
Except for Grace Duchannes.
It was after her grandmother’s teachings landed her in a mental ward with kids who were familiar with the occult.
After she returned home; after she tried to start over; after the voices began again.
After all of that, Grace Duchannes was sure she was just crazy. She had to be. But then, Kincade Badeaux arrived on a rusted motorcycle that looked as though it were going to explode at any minute.
Like a true Cajun Casanova, he managed to insult, confuse, and intrigue Grace with a simple offer: he will travel with her to her grandmother’s, the coven’s Chronicle, if she is willing to find the four other teens needed to bind them into the Games. For once, Grace relents. But only then, after the deal is sealed, does Grace realize she is in way over her head. With a man named Death haunting her dreams and invading her reality, a bad boy just hoping to snag her heart, and the lives of her friends on the line, Grace must make decisions beyond what sweater she should wear the next day, or how long she should study for the biology quiz.
No, Grace Duchannes was playing to live.
(Really bad blurb, just read further if any of this sounds even remotely interesting.)
In a time of economic anxiety, global terror and shaken confidence, Englishman Leon Logothetis, star of the hit series 'Amazing Adventures of a Nobody' (National Geographic Channels International, Fox Reality), shows us what is good about mankind: the simple calling people have to connect to others.
Tired of his disconnected life and uninspiring job, Leon Logothetis leaves it all behind—job, money, home even his cell phone—and hits the road with nothing but the clothes on his back and five dollars in his pocket.
His journey from Times Square to the Hollywood sign relying on the kindness of strangers and the serendipity of the open road, inspire a dramatic and life changing transformation.
Along the way, Leon offers up the intriguing and charming tales gathered along his one-of-a-kind journey: riding in trains, buses, big rigs and classic cars; sleeping on streets and couches and firehouses; meeting pimps and preachers, astronauts and single moms, celebrities and homeless families, veterans and communists. Each day of his journey, we catch sight of the invisible spiritual underpinning of society in these stories of companionship—and sheer adventure—that prove that the kind, good soul of mankind has not been lost.

These nine stories are first and foremost autobiographical. They are also true. In the early 1970's my parents decided to leave England in search of a more interesting life; fueled by a lifetime of adventure stories my father was desperate to see the world, to experience adventure and to see what little remained of real cultures before the bland cookie-cutter culture of the United States finally took hold.
For the next forty years my parents remained overseas choosing to live in some of the harshest environments and I was fortunate enough to be taken along.
We were not explorers, nor were my parents interested in being 'the first' at anything; but what spurred them on, what kept them going into their retirement, was the desire to not just simply visit distant lands, but to live there, to try as best they could to experience the daily lives of the people they lived amongst.
The stories in this small book are a snap shot of some of the things we saw and experienced. They are in chronological order starting in the early 70's in the Middle East and ending in 2006 in the Pamir mountains.
