Author's newest book: Doomed School by Ashaki Boelter

"From childhood memories to old accounts told by survivors, Doomed School is a remarkably clean, goofy, frightening, and young teen collection of stories about possible tragedies we overlook on a daily basis. After reading this, young readers may seek to reproof their many walks of life for the better, as Ashaki Boelter encourages through wild and strange stories."

Hello, my name is Ashaki Boelter. I decided it was time to let you in on my mission, my goal(s), my perceptions, and direction. I am the writer of the books presented at this website and also the owner of Shakalot High Entertainment. I launched my company in 2001 as a result of defining my own freedom of expression. Today, I have well over 10 selling books in the literature market, which includes a comic book.

Art was my passion from childhood. I love to draw. However, as I aged, I began to see the structuring of art and the politics behind selling it. Not to knock any comic artist today, but the industry seemingly sells from depictions of distorted and realistic body forms, some of which I find to be offensive particularly with women. I also find that the men drawn are construsive to the sick disease of what we as a majority deem inappropriate with the use of steroids today. Comics today, the characters look like martians, small heads and giantic, unrealistic muscles... that ain't real. Back in the day, I wanted to Spiderman. That was possible back then. Today, if I want to look like the hottest superheros, I'd have to blood dope, get juiced with steroids, microwave my head, and eat a few rhinos.

On top of this let down, I was once told by an Art Institute (like I said, I was serious about art) that in order to be called an "artist", I'd have to complete all assignments, which included sketching a live, nudist. So, to keep a small story short, I wasn't with having a naked person sitting in front of me and drawing her private and boobies in scientific detail and such. I, to this day, don't believe you have to draw that mess to be considered an artist. I couldn't believe it when the school told me I couldn't pass the art class without drawing privates. Guess I can't be an artist.

YOu know what though? I consider artists on the street, real artists. It's an expression we should be able to relate to today, no holds barred either on it. I can't get with Mona Lisa and some of this European paint splattered garbage with so-called feelings in it from the 1700's and 1800's. I enjoy the art on the side of trains and bus stop benches more than anything, which I feel is underappreciated by whoever creates art books. Look, there's a selling point to that. Maybe the next great painter is homeless and right there in your neighborhood. That's real.

So, after leaving the art alone, I went to my second love. I've been writing for quite some time. I'd written a series of short stories in the late 80's. These are the makeup for Doomed School, Diaries of the Doomed, and Fate of the Fatal. These are all, believe it or not, kid friendly books. Diaries and Fate are paperback, so I decided to take these two books, let children read them, and get feedback on their favorites. These favorites have been updated, cleaned, and placed in Doomed School. The new Doomed School also includes a few new short stories as well and the kids will love them!

I didn't believe Doomed School or any of my short story books for children would work or sell until I read Captain Underpants books and Goosebumps. Those two vehicles launched my desire to rocket out Doomed School. There is a market for these type of children chiller books. The difference with my books is that there is a non-tolerated use of pages for meaningless storyline. I teach in all of my books and especially used Doomed School to put lessons out there for the kids. Every story has a moral to it.

Yes, I'm not as well known and I will never know how far my books will get. I pray, no lie. I hope that every child gets a chance to read Doomed School. It deals with issues ranging from parents loving their children unconditionally to showing manners and being respectful on the bus. Again, all of the stories have been reviewed by children ages ranging from 9-15.

Doomed School is relentless in motivating children to become better people. Well over two hundred pages, it also does illuminate a Christian-based storyline. HOWEVER, most of the book is creepy.

This book is dedicated to our youth, who strive on a daily basis to make it in a world that doesn’t listen very well. So, young people make your voices heard. Say what you need to say and do whatever it takes to make this world a better place, no matter how silly it sounds coming from your mouths.

We, the intelligent, college-graduated adults have really messed things up around the globe. Sometimes, life seems so simple to solve when there are problems, but we complicate everything as adults. We’ll doom our futures with needless war, market horrid and explicit music, conduct bad business, give sick advice to divorce because it’s easy, remove faith, and corrupt the world by teaching difference and hate in government, in people, in churches, and in everything. Adults call it a doggy-dog world and claim it’s all about “us.” Is that really how it should be, about being stingy, isolated, and divided?

Sometimes, if we only did things with a child’s heart…

Here’s a simple book, with simple principles, written in simple language, which even adults should be considering for use in our complicated lives. Since we don’t like to listen to the smaller voices, I’ll just relay the simplicity to our children, for it’ll be their turn to run this world. Children are our future.

Let’s prevent doom. I present Doomed School
