Book Description
My life had a plan. Until he invaded it and stole it all away. My captor took me and I became a pawn. His strategy changed and he sent me away to WAR, because money is everything in this world. In my WAR, though, I found peace. I couldn’t help but find love where I least expected it, with a man who lived a battle every day of his life …all inside his head. But then my captor came back for me. Yet, this time, battle lines had been drawn and I was protected. So we thought. Even though my WAR was raging, my captor would fight to the death. The good guys always win, right? Not always. All’s fair in love and WAR, right? Not this time. Warning: This is War, Baby is a dark romance. A really dark one. So dark you’re going to wish you had a flashlight to see yourself to the end and someone to hold your hand. Human trafficking, dubious consent, and strong sexual themes that could trigger emotional distress are found in this story. This story is NOT for everyone.

Book Description
War Baby / Love Child examines hybrid Asian American identity through a collection of essays, artworks, and interviews at the intersection of critical mixed race studies and contemporary art. The book pairs artwork and interviews with 19 emerging, mid-career, and established mixed race/mixed heritage Asian American artists, including Li-lan and Kip Fulbeck, with scholarly essays exploring such topics as Vietnamese Amerasians, Korean transracial adoptions, and multiethnic Hawai'i. As an increasingly ethnically ambiguous Asian American generation is coming of age in an era of "optional identity," this collection brings together first-person perspectives and a wider scholarly context to shed light on changing Asian American cultures. This multiauthor volume features a foreward by Kent A. Ono, a co-authored preface and introductory essay by the editors, 19 original artist interviews conducted by the editors, and original essays from Wei Ming Dariotis and the contributing authors: Camilla Fojas, Stuart Gaffney, Rudy Guevarra, Jr., Eleana J. Kim, Richard Lou, Margo Machida, Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu, Lori Pierce, Cathy J. Schlund-Vials, Ken Tanabe, and Wendy Thompson-Taiwo. Laura Kina is associate professor of art, media, and design at DePaul University. Wei Ming Dariotis is associate professor of Asian American studies at San Francisco State University. "War Baby / Love Child is an interesting, original, and innovative project that expands the field of Asian American studies by using visual art as a point of entry and analysis for the discipline." -Mark Johnson, editor of Asian American Art: A History, 1850-1970 "One of the strengths of this original volume is its holistic combination of interviews with premier fine artists along with the textual, historical, and scholarly context provided by established and emerging scholars in Asian American Studies." -Nitasha Sharma, author of Hip Hop Desis: South Americans, Blackness, and Global Race Consciousness

Book Description
A compelling and shocking story that is all the more effective because it is true. Born during the War and growing up in the post war years, the writer takes you on a journey that surprises and shocks. The loss of his young Father is the catalyst that leads the author as a young boy along a path of trauma and despair and into life as a reclusive introvert, unable to function on a normal day to day basis. The Mother re-marries with terrible consequences, and any hope for the future is dashed when the reader witnesses the virtual destruction of the author as a child, as the step Father emerges as a paedophile with a most surprising and awful background. The author grows into a wayward child and a disturbed teenager, making some terrible mistakes along the way. He emerges from this virtual psychological prison that contains him, and for the first time discovers enjoyment, enjoyment in music, Rock n Roll and the guitar. The music offers him an escape from his painful background and he struggles at every opportunity to learn to play the guitar and become more than just proficient. After secretly practising, improving and playing with various bands, he eventually travels the world in a band with a number one hit record. The author lurches from one success to another but it is not enough. His hunger for life is fuelled by working in more bands, hard drinking and experimenting with drugs. A crossroads is reached when there is a choice; music or karate. The karate was started as a conduit for his energy and his frustration with the music business. A decision is made and he diverts his energies from music into a totally new venture, starting karate classes and eventually gaining his Black Belt. A karate club is created almost accidentally, and the club goes from strength to strength producing champions and award winning teams. More clubs are started, and other clubs impressed by the dynamics and professionalism of the core clubs, successfully join the newly formed karate group - Shotokan Karate England. The book is a shocking testimonial to paedophilia but a brilliant testimonial to overcoming adversity and trauma in one's life. The story is one of determination not to be beaten, and inspiration can be taken by all of those who read this incredible but true story.
