      This book is a tool written by a POWER-COUPLE to help other married couples obtain marital bliss. We pray that in their marriage they merge as one. A marriage license is the only license you can receive without taking an exam. Besides being of age, there is no governmental assessment that one has to take to be married. Certainly, there are biblical rules and wisdom we could adapt, but it isn't mandated anywhere. We thought this book of wisdom principles could help marriages as they develop into their merger. Wisdom that some couples didn't receive before the marriage. We want to help every married couple enjoy marital bliss. We certainly don't know it all, but we've gained great insight and have learned wisdom from experiences that allows us to help others. You have the papers, you have the rings, and you still have the bill from the ceremony. Now gain the wisdom on how to keep this marriage together and alive!

      According to Johnny Depp, "If Hubert Selby Jr., Charles Bukowski, Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neil Cassady, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the Marquis de Sade, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Edward Teach, Charley Parker, Iggy Pop, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, R. Crumb, Robert Williams, Joe Coleman, Dashiell Hammett, E.M. Cioran and all of the Three Stooges had all been involved in some greasy, shameful, evil whorehouse orgy, Jonathan Shaw would surely be its diabolical, reprobate spawn." This first novel by Shaw, the internationally acclaimed tattoo artist and son of jazz legend Artie Shaw, unfolds in the wild backwaters of Rio de Janeiro and New York, where narrator Cigano attempts in vain to curb the unhinged habits of his lover Narcisa. As they navigate the chaos of her spiraling life of drugs, burglaries and violent mood swings, Cigano records a love affair doomed by sociopathy. With a fan base that includes Lydia Lunch (who provides an introduction), Depp, Jim Jarmusch and Iggy Pop, it is already a much-anticipated debut.
