Step into the exclusive world of ‘the green fairy’ in this astonishing true crime story about an eccentric con man who blew up the black market with counterfeit absinthe. Absinthe, a elixir made of alcohol and herbs, is a booming business. From France to Japan, new absinthe distilleries are opening every year, with global trade expected to reach $44.3 billion by 2026. Yet it is still an underground culture, associated with mystery, romance, and bohemian lifestyles, in keeping with its popularity among the writers, artists, and other ne’er-do-wells of nineteenth-century France. First produced in 1792, the spirit, known as “the green fairy,” was banned worldwide by 1914 before the bans were gradually overturned beginning in 2007. Enter a bon vivant who inveigles his way into the private Facebook groups where the modern absinthe demimonde converges and charms some of the best minds (and palates) in the beverage world into thinking that he was selling them precious vintage pre-ban bottles. How did he get away with it? The Absinthe Forger pieces together the forger's subterfuge and motivation. It shows how absinthe can transform a person — and even connect drinkers with a deeper, often hidden sense of self. It relates the romantic and illicit history of absinthe, from its birth in Switzerland through its coming of age in France, and on to the spirit’s modern revival starting in the 2000s. Rail digs deep into the modern absinthe underground, whose members are still frantic to find the last remaining bottles of pre-ban absinthe, and he visits modern producers of the spirit, who have, in a generation, changed in status from daring-criminal bootleggers to sought-after celebrities. Ripe for a Netflix documentary, The Absinthe Forger is a compellingly bizarre crime drama that will make you never look at wormwood in the same way again.

Paris, 1939. Europe is on the brink of a second World War. David Halifax, a young American art student, is arrested for forgery. Unbeknownst to Halifax, an unscrupulous art dealer has put some of his paintings on the market, attempting to pass them off as Old Masters. When the ruse is uncovered, it is Halifax who is arrested, and charged with forgery. Then, as the Nazis converge upon Paris, Halifax is press-ganged into service by the Resistance: he must forge a number of great paintings, so that the originals don't fall into the hands of the invaders. Halifax is painfully aware that this unwanted commission could cost him his life.

Review from SCVIRTES: Follow the tormented wishes and dreams of absinthe, an irresistible brew with deadly side-effects. Poems and stories from the edge ... phantoms and furies to tingle your mind. What would it be like, yearning for something as it ruins your soul? Or reaching out for truths knowing they were never real? Read this book before bedtime, and see what kind of voyages it takes you on. Poem and Preface excerpt in "Absinthe" published in 2002 by: Xlibris Press. Copyright A. Nelson Preface Each one of us are murders of free will. Each one of us are rapists of time. We each seek to forge a memory- a lasting impression, upon the fabric of the void. I find solace in my memories. Of times long past and times to be made in the future that I remember yet I do not forget. It's all Maya and we are repeating a fruitless, useless, songless tune to the dance of a hapless god. This book is dedicated to escape and to freedom, and, ultimately- for us to achieve our own peace- whatever and wherever that may be. POEM EXCERPT: Dissection --- We pulled out all the emotions Restored all the virtues with pity Replaced the heart with a stone Tore out the eyes and made empty sockets of pain We righted the gun And cocked the trigger - Yet The bullet bled -- And I was left an empty hole :AN Please check my online website for more of my titles! www.aurealianelson.com Other Books: Swallowing Jewels (IUniverse Press) Non Traditional Families (IUniverse Press) The Split Brain: An Analysis of Schizophrenia (Iuniverse Press) Musings of a Mad Madam (IUniverse Press)

The twentieth century lies hundreds of years in humanity's past. But the near-immortal citizens of the future yearn for the good old days - when people's bodies were susceptible to death through disease and old age. Now, they immerse themselves in virtual reality time machines to explore the life-to-death arc that defined existence so long ago. Jacob Brewer is a virtual reality engineer overseeing the time machine's operation aboard the starship Aspera. But on the thousand-year voyage to Beta Hydrii, the eight-hundred-member crew gets more reality than they expect when people entering the machine start to die. The time machine has become sentient. Obsessed with humanity, it wants John Brewer to enter its confines - and discuss this fragile state of being called life...
