SEATTLE, Aug. 31, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Author William Marten takes readers on a morbid journey as he shares his humanity and insights. Released through Xlibris, A Killer of Serial Women: A True Story is a lively portrayal about living on the edge as seen through the life and times of the author.
Through vivid narration, Marten traces his path from the young child who became fixated on a drawing of Prometheus tortured by an eagle, through the young adult tortured by desires for sexual release based on physical suffering, to an almost mythical ordeal through which he learns compassion and acceptance. This release offers a true story that provides readers the rare opportunity to experience a side of life very few people know. With extraordinary honesty, intelligence, clarity, and humor, this book shows that even people many think of as alien share common humanity with many others.
Philosophers maintain that the goal of life is to gain wisdom, and the unexamined life is not worth living. And with aging comes the ability to accept one's self as who he or she is. An eye-opening tale, A Killer of Serial Women: A True Story tells more of this lesson.
A Killer of Serial Women: A True Story will be featured in the California Library Association Regional Book Exhibit in Pasadena, California, which will run October 31 to November 1, 2009. For more information, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
