Crash Flux 1: Welcome To The Machine (16 page)

'Cause, after all. Sometimes a hare's gotta do what a hare's gotta do.

"On one level this is a witty, romantic, and light-hearted mystery comedy of a book," says Stewart Arthur Ravelin (author of
The Kind And Gentle Fascist
), "but on another, it is quite serious. It is the tale of a man so horribly abused that he has become something of a monster. But a monster determined to be on the side of the angels."

Young Adult Fiction

Gwendolyn
, by Jerry James McMurry

Gwendolyn seemed like a normal, healthy young woman. Everyone said there was nothing particularly remarkable about her, except she had a curious interest in falconry.

She had a hawk's eyes! And she had a destiny her friends and family could not imagine!

Lost Classics

Letters From America
by Rupert Brooke, foreword by Nigel Jones

A fresh edition of Rupert Brooke's famous Letters From America…with a new foreword from his biographer, Nigel Jones!

Rupert Brooke was one of the most admired poets of pre-World War I Britain, as well as (in the words of W.B. Yeats) "the handsomest young man in England." He also knew almost everyone who was anyone in British society. His friends ranged from Winston Churchill to Virginia Woolf, while his romantic liaisons included famed divas of stage and screen…and obscure schoolboys.

Today, he is known almost exclusively for the sentimental and intensely patriotic poems he wrote just before his own early death in the Great War. But, he was also a fantastically talented travel writer. In 1913, he toured the United States, Canada, and the South Seas and left his impressions of them in a series of witty and insightful essays that were later collected and published in book form as
Letters From America
.

Belfort and Bastion is proud to offer this edition of the
Letters
to a generation of readers and scholars who may know Brooke the poet but not Brooke the travel writer. And we're delighted to pair them with a new foreword by the journalist, author, and literary historian, Nigel Jones, whose biography of the poet,
Rupert Brooke, Life, Death and Myth
, is considered one of the best ever done about him.

Brooke's life was turbulent and tragically short (he was 28 when he died). But, in
Letters
, he is at his sparking best. Anyone with an interest in the great names of the last century, and how they saw their world, owes it to themselves to get a copy of this e-book.

Arms Candlevolume
by Richard Arms

Dick Arms
is famed as the inventor of one of the single most important means of stock analysis in use to day, Equivolume Charting, as well as the developer of the TRIN Index.

But he's gone far beyond that. His new technique, Arms Candlevolume, will do as much to revolutionize the technician's craft as Equivolume Charting did, and maybe far more. Arms Candlevolume charts combine the best attributes of Bar Charts, Equivolume Charts and Candlesticks, while providing new and powerful functionality in the process.

This short and highly readable book details the use of Arms Candlevolume charts and will be invaluable to both the stock market professional and the sophisticated individual investor.

What the experts are saying about Arms Candlevolume:

"Arms CandleVolume provides the correct relationship between Candlestick charts and EquiVolume by showing the Volume height over the full High-to-Low range.  All of the various charting techniques are designed to assist the analyst in quick and accurate visualization of the raw Open-High-Low-Close-Volume data; Arms CandleVolume has brought  this concept to its best form…. Nice work Dick and thanks for this innovative charting improvement."

Greg Morris

Author of 
Candlestick Charting Explained and Investing with the Trend

"Dick Arms doesn’t quit.  Coming up with a new and seemingly useful combination of volume and candlestick charts, similar to his Equivolume analysis from the early 1970’s, Dick shows us in his new book, Arms Candlevolume, his genius for developing innovative technical indicators."

Charles D. Kirkpatrick II, CMT

co-author of 
Technical Analysis: The Complete Resource for Financial Technicians

"In his fine little book, Arms Candlevolume, the author very ably fulfills his promise to deliver a more informative method to traders, investors, and analysts.  At one glance you can better understand the forces underlying the market, thanks to the clever amalgamation of Arms Equivolume Charts and traditional Japanese Candlesticks.  The author adds even greater value to this book with his clear prose style and the beautiful use of colors.  Happily, the reader will also discover new insights into trends, trading ranges and turning points that are revealed through the application of Arms Candlevolume Charts.  In sum, Arms Candlevolume is another gem in the crown of a master, Dick Arms."

Or how about e-books and other digital products that are pay-what-you-want (PWYW)?

Then head on over to Belfort and Bastion's PWYW site! It's here:

https://sites.google.com/site/belfortbastionspwyw/

Belfort and Bastion is a young publisher of e-books, digital art, poetry, prose, and much more. You can see our e-books and such for sale at fixed prices on Amazon or at our Website.

But, there's more to us that than that! We believe that the prices of any digital product ought to vary according its value to its consumer. For some people a certain e-book is worth nothing. For others, it is life changing, and worth a small fortune.

So, we think, readers and other consumers ought to have the option of paying what they believe an e-book is actually worth to them, and no one else.

And that is why we have a 
PWYW site
. It is where you can find works from those of our authors and artists who have agreed to allow their material to be offered on a PWYW basis. From our PWYW site, you can read, download, share, and otherwise enjoy their stories, art, photos, etc. to your heart's content.

What do we want in return? That's what PWYW is all about. We hope that if you like the stuff you see here, you'll contribute something to the creators. If you enjoy a short story, a poem, an e-book, a photo or whatever, we'll hope you'll be kind enough to send the artist/writer a buck or two. Or four. Or fifty. Or whatever.

At the end of every story, e-book, or whatever, you'll see a "hungry kitty" button (as in "feed the kitt"). Just click on it and you'll go to a Paypay or Gumroad page where you can fill in any amount you wish—$1, $2, $25…or, for that matter, $0…whatever.

You'll earn our undying gratitude, and you'll be supporting the arts at the same time!
