Lovust
Nov 14, 2012
$0.99
When a precocious, modern-day “Buddha” meets the “smartest, funniest and sexiest woman” on the planet, he’s in for the ride of his life. Falling from wisdom to madness, Bobby George nearly drowns in the storms of worldly passion.
Like the legendary Siddhartha, Robert George was raised in the halls of privilege and power to be a world leader, or captain of industry.
Like the famous mystic, he was born on a quest to figure it all out, and finally did in a transformative experience of the divine.
But unlike the masterful Gautama, he fell in love, forgot his inner gaze, and descended into a deadly realm of fear, anger, and jealousy.
“Lovust” is the passionate, tumultuous relationship of two young lovers from completely different worlds. Sexy, funny, and down-to-earth, Chelsea O’Reilly is the perfect counter-balance to the princely George. Having also spent her formative years searching for the answers to life’s most important questions, she connects with him on the deepest level. And for a short time, the pair has it all - real, lasting admiration and affection, tons of fun, and fiery, all-consuming passion. But when Bobby puts their romance above his own life, he drags their blissful flight down to the ground, and nearly perishes in the process.

About the author:
As an award-winning TV producer/director for the third largest communications corporation in the U.S., George R. Blow witnessed first hand the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. These dramatic events re-awakened him to the brevity and uncertainty of existence, and as a life-long student in the art of finding happiness within, Blow subsequently put experiencing “unconditional joy, peace and contentment” at the top of his to-do list everyday. This simple act transformed his life from the inside out, and during the worst part of the 2008/9 financial crisis he managed to retire and embark on an ongoing adventure in writing, lecturing, travel and producing his own audio-visual materials.
The popularity of his blog from the “Paris of South America”, Buenos Aires, AR inspired his first self-help book, “Peace is Practical (How the Inner Journey Can Transform the Outer), which lead to the creation of his website, peaceispractical.com, his company of the same name, and his New Orleans-based blog Inside/Out. An award-winning actor, he occasionally accepts roles in film/television and frequently lectures on the importance and practicality of an experience of peace.
"Peace is one of many words that have been used to describe the enjoyment and appreciation of life-itself. But this experience is so good it defies description. It's the best thing a human being can feel. What's more, it comes free of charge and independent of external circumstances. Best of all, it always bestows the focus, clarity of vision, strength of character and wisdom a person needs to thrive in this complicated, ever-changing world." G.R.B
