BONDAGE AND DISCIPLINE, SADISM AND MASOCHISM

Lusipher lives and works in St. Louis, Mo. He makes a living as a cab driver for St. Louis County Cab Company, and he has been 'cabbing it' for almost twenty years. In 2001, Lusipher's first novel, GOTTA BE DOWN, was published under his former pseudonym, Booker T. BDSM: Zack's Odyssey is Lusipher's second novel. BDSM represents everything Lusipher enjoys-- literature, philosophy, poetry, comic books, graphic novels, anime, manga, and film. He is attracted to powerful imagery and wanted to write a novel with a style and force that rivaled his ambitions.

DavidBooks is Lusipher's vision of a new publishing model that is dedicated to liberating the fullest imaginary potential of modern literature. Also, DavidBooks is dedicated to destroying the industry myth that quality fiction can't be produced by those outside of the industry, that independent publishers are so because they can't make the "cut" with the major houses. In the Bible-1 Samuel 17:1-58, the Philistines and the Israelites were embroiled in a bitter war. The Philistines had a champion named Goliath who stood over 9 feet tall. His coat weighed 150 pounds. The tip of his spear weighed 20 pounds. His shin-guards-or greaves-were made of brass. He was an awesome opponent. He was very confident and arrogant in his physical advantages. He stood on a very high mountain and shouted at his opponents: "Why are you out here all ready to have a battle? Am I not a Philistine and aren't you Israelites the servants of Saul? Pick a man from your army and let him come down here to me. I'm ready to fight. If your man can kill me, we Philistines will be your servants. But if I prevail against him, and kill him, you Israelites will be our servants." Needless to say, the Israel army was intimidated.

However, among those Israelites was an old shepherd named Jesse who had 8 sons. Youngest and smallest among those sons was a runt named David. Though grossly overmatched, David charged towards Goliath. David dropped a large stone in his slingshot and hurled the stone, which struck Goliath's forehead. Goliath fell. Then David stood atop Goliath, drew his sword, and cut off Goliath's head.

This is the mission of DavidBooks and Lusipher.
