Veteran Homicide Detective James "Big Jim" Donegan and his partner, Chris Hunter, have been called to the scene of their latest case, a strangled call girl who has been put halfway through a wood chipper that was left unattended in one of the city's parks.
Since he was eight years old Chris Hunter has looked up to Big Jim as a father-figure and a mentor. Today Big Jim intends to use this case, like every other crime that they have worked together, as an opportunity to teach the technically brilliant but socially awkward Hunter how to be a great cop. The training, like the work, is endless. Big Jim and Chris know that they have chosen a career that is never finished, that never stops, that death never sleeps.
When they first became partners in the Major Crimes Unit, Big Jim told Chris:
"People have to matter to you one way or another, even if it's only out of intellectual curiosity, but they have to count for something, inside, if you ever want to be really good on the Murder Police."
Hunter is doing his best to understand how people work and how to succeed on the Murder Police but the work gets harder when two more murders, one new and one old, are added to his caseload. Of course, Chris Hunter wants to solve these crimes to bring the criminals to justice but even more than that he wants to solve them to make Big Jim proud.

Sci-Fi
An amazing Sci-Fi thrill ride that has been called a cross between Planet
of the Apes, The Hunger Games and Indiana Jones.
A hunt for the world's top predator
takes a billionaire casino magnate from the plains of Africa and the beaches of
Key West and Fiji
to the mysterious jungles of South America in
an action-packed adventure set in a world where animals have evolved
side-by-side with humans.
In Las Vegas, Shaw,
billionaire casino magnate and self proclaimed world's greatest showman, nears
completion on the massive Serengeti Resort & Casino. Its amphitheater is
being transformed into an authentic slice of African savanna for the show Predators
and Prey which will savagely pit animal against animal in the
bloodiest gladiatorial spectacle ever created for human entertainment. The only
thing missing is the main attraction - which Shaw soon finds in Shark, the
world's only Great White pool-playing shark to be exact.
Shaw envisions the show's tagline as "Come One - Come All To See - The
Only Great White Shark In Captivity" but soon learns that capturing the
world's top predator and delivering him to Vegas is easier said than done. This
daunting task will require the cruel tactics of the evil animal slave trading
hyena, Old Jack. The heartbreaking plans they devise and innocent pawns they
use to try to coerce Shark's allegiance will force all to rely on primitive
instincts to survive.

Satire
This satiric novel grapples with the social and sexual issues that confront the lives of a group of young New Yorkers who share a beach house in The Hamptons from Memorial to Labor Day weekends. It is during the summer of 1981 when The Hamptons just began to grow in popularity before becoming the exclusive community it is today. The narrator and central character, Chris McCauley, in a voice reminiscent of the first person “J.D. Salinger narrative style,” is wounded from a disastrous love affair with his ex-girlfriend, Laura. He decides that spending a summer in the Hamptons would be the best emotional therapy he could undertake.
As the novel unfolds we learn about the other share members through Chris’ interaction with them. We discover their restlessness and passions as they go about searching for a “significant other.” All their passionate and, often times, humorous dramas are staged on the beaches, at the parties, and at the “hot spots” of the Hamptons.
Through his nostalgic voice Chris’ world unfolds in an entertaining series of flashbacks, complete with male vulnerabilities, insecurities and the role ego plays in moments of self-clarity: “Most men grow old but not all mature.” He also offers glimpses of his life with the materialistic Laura and his inability to let go. He realizes that learning how to let go might be where the maturing process for him will begin. It’s a major character flaw that he must learn to overcome if he wishes to obtain emotional salvation.

Literary Fiction
Master Gardener – A novel about gardening, magic seeds, eco-terrorism, politics, big business, love and Wylie Cypher by Rolf Margenau
A Great Summer Read – fun, entertaining and informative.
What the critics are saying:
San Francisco Book Review:
"Finally, a novelist — and a very good one at that — has taken a crack at the dark side of industrial agriculture. Sprinkled with satirical send-ups of recent conservative legislation, Master Gardener ends as tidily as a Shakespearean comedy, with matches made and justice served – but in surprising ways. It’s a satisfying conclusion after a fun 300 pages, and best of all, there’s room left for yet another adventure with Wylie."
Karen Dahood at Bookpleasures.com:
"He just tells you the story: what his robust cast of characters says, thinks, and does. If you are willing to go along with that, and hang on tight, it is wonderful ride. More than that, it is a gentle warning. Although this author appears not to take himself or his topic too seriously, his credentials suggest that he knows things most of us do not. His intelligent good-heartedness shows through the satire. He depicts the villains as buffoons; they tar and feather themselves. His heroes are over 55, getting their second chances. The young people are still learning how to love. The dogs are adorable."
William Phenn at Blogcritics:
"It is a good book that is fun to read, easy on the eyes and rated a strong “A” on my rating chart. I strongly recommend Master Gardener to all."

Religion/Spirituality
Never
discuss religion or politics, as the saying goes, if you want to keep the
peace. But it does not take a long look
around our world to see that old adage has not worked well. I think it’s time
to try a different way.
Religion,
politics, and science all have enormous influence in how we construct our
societies. If we want to have any chance to create the peace and transform our
world into what it was always meant to be, they need to be discussed. That
exchange demands we do it openly, honestly, rationally, and in the context of
their association with each other.
The
relationship anyone develops with the Divine will always encompass faith and it
will always involve passion. It will always be unique and personal, and it will
always be a mystery. But, it must as well leave room for reason or it will
likely miss the mark of Truth. God
Theories seeks to promote a greater balance among the ingredients we use to
hold our spiritual views together. It makes very careful use of sound
scientific principles to prove to a virtually absolute degree of certainty
several principles of Spiritual Truth. These include the ideas that none of us
could have possibly come into this world by fate or chance, that conscious
involvement originating outside the physical domain has to play a role in
determining how we do come into this world,
and that we are all, in essence, eternal spiritual beings.

Technology
Dr. Satwant Kaur, the First Lady of Emerging Technologies ™, has drawn on her extensive knowledge of embedded technologies to offer a vision for how to use these technologies to the benefit of today and tomorrow in her new book, Transitioning Embedded Systems to Intelligent Environments. Insightful and relevant, this book brings the awareness of the intelligent embedded systems all around and where these systems are headed in the future.
Pat Gelinsinger, the CEO of VMWare and the author of the foreword to Transitioning Embedded Systems, compares Dr. Satwant Kaur to Gordon Moore. Subramanian Ganesan, Professor of Engineering at Oakland University calls the book a “must-read for every student, scholar, and soothsayer of the convergence phenomenon”, highly recommending the book to system developers, enterprise management professionals, platform architects, and “techno-entrepreneurs”.
After defining an embedded system as one that “has intelligence built in for computing and decision making”, Dr. Kaur uses the human system as an example of the most complex and what all other embedded systems mirror. An intelligent environment, then, uses a team of embedded systems, each with a designated function. From the 100 applications stemming from Intel’s embedded processors to embedded systems within a person’s own home, Dr. Kaur’s book highlights the significance of these systems. They are inescapable, but essential components of human life as well as contemporary culture.
