Falling in love has consequences---there's nothing new about that. But when an elite Brit falls for a Russian prostitute and wants to get her away from her pimp in Macau and marry her, those consequences become deadly.Journalist Ray Sharp doesn't need someone else's troubles, but when his colleague pleads for help, his conscience won't let him say no. What seems like a simple favor entangles Ray in a maze of horror and violence that leads from the glittery nightclubs and sleazy brothels of Macau to a chamber of horrors on an island in the South China Sea and finally to Russia's Mafia-infested Pacific seaport of Vladivostok.Based on a true story, The Living Room of the Dead takes place in the milieu of the decadent ex-pat life in Hong Kong and Macau at a dizzyingly dramatic time: These cities are about to fall back under Chinese rule. Fearful, people grab for whatever they can get. The air itself reeks of sex, money, and power. Here the only thing a person can count on is what's inside himself. For Ray, even that is something to wrestle with.

Acting is a tool for freedom of expression and choice, a mirror of possibility for humankind. Acting is a powerful medium for reflecting authenticity in the human experience.
 Hollywood Actors Studio is dedicated to providing excellent and distinct training and to promoting the actor as artist in the community.
 The Studio is a safe, fun and supportive environment for artistic discoveries and personal growth. We train people in revealing their true talents and realizing their potential.
 Our purpose is to offer top-notch acting, self-expression and public speaking training programs to enhance communication and liberate the individual’s creativity and expression.
 We deliver clear distinctions via tools and techniques, which bring lasting advancements in artistic expression, growth and development, personal effectiveness and passionate communication.
 In this book, you will find distinctions in the craft of acting which aim at giving acting a context as an art form that can be learned and practiced, not a vague talent that some people are born with and others not.
 This manual is designed to facilitate your understanding, study and pursuit of acting as a craft.
 You will also find in it definitions and insights about the basic language and terminology of the craft as well as clarifications on fundamental concepts and ideas.
 By developing a clear understanding of the craft, and by creating a healthy context for the study of acting, it is much easier to develop and become skilled and competent. It also helps develop respect for acting as a craft and an art form—something that can touch, affect and communicate with people.
 The worst enemies of actors are not the job market, Hollywood, corrupt and incompetent agents or producers. Competition is not the fundamental problem either. Breaking into the various fields of acting is extremely difficult but I don’t believe anyone truly thinks that acting is easy.
 Lack of skill and competence and the willingness to become competent and effective as an actor is what stops the majority of would-be actors. Lack of tenacity and endurance are also major factors.
 Other traps and limitations that can affect the pursuit of acting negatively are:
 • Self-defeating thoughts
 • Tension, struggle and lack of flexibility
 • Self-consciousness or chronic timidity
 • Lack of stage manners or body control
 • Improper use of imagination
 • Low level of skills: too few tools and techniques to draw from
 • Inadequate communication skills
 • Lack of professionalism, concentration and/or focus
 • No passion, desire or will power
 • Unresolved personal issues
 • Destructive habits and un-released negativity
