An agency of the Federal government raids a beach house in Puget Sound on the pretext of a firearms violation. An unforeseen cataclysm results in the loss or unaccountable absence of a number of the government's operators. This, in turn, primes the Attorney general with appropriate zeal and intent to push through the mechanism repealing the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.In due course, two thirds of the states call for Congress to repeal the Second Amendment. The Senate Majority Leader and the Speaker of the House make a joint announcement to the Washington Press Corps that the recommendation to convoke a Constitutional Convention has been sent to the President.A select few are privy to the fact that the latest push to outlaw the Second Amendment would not be about gun control but something far more sinister. It would take better men like former Diplomatic Security agent, Peter Cleague, Lawyer John Luther, and Senator Al Sherman to not only protect what the Founding Fathers knew was crucial to good government, but to take on a fight for the very survival of the nation.Is it only a matter of time?

A chance meeting with a former schoolteacher brings her two worlds back together.

A poetry book of reflective, serious and humorous poems from short to long inspired by a solo motorcycle touring era when vanishing points were your friends and you did not know if you would ever go back to where you came from. An era of a weathered road map folded to the universe of your current driving day at an eye's glance. When for days on end every person you spoke to or met was a total stranger and you took note of what they had to say. It was a time of living as one with your motorcycle, your gear, your maps, your journal, your wits and yourself was the daily routine of solo "John Doe" travel when a hug meant more than a simple greeting or good-bye and even though you were so very alone, you were never lonely. A time when the rising sun pointed the way. Scenic "open road" color photos of the day accompany the poems enhancing the reader's experience of the poetry as if they were there themselves. There is a photo index giving subject, location and date of each photo.

This book has been written to answer the question when it comes to emotional intelligence, "Who's it for?" Over the years, since emotional intelligence has made its way back into the mainstream, hundreds of books have been written on the topic. I, for one, am glad to see this level of interest in what is sometimes seen as a "warm and fuzzy" topic. This perception is slowly changing.Most of the writings focus on "leaders" or "leadership" and their need to be or use emotional intelligence. But, is that where it stops? Does it "hit the wall" at leaders and leadership? Of course not. It doesn't matter what's your occupation or level in the organization, having well developed emotional intelligence (more on this later) is an asset. As a matter of fact, you don't have to be employed at all! You can be a stay at home mom, dad, student or someone in transition.This book attempts to communicate that emotional intelligence is for everyone - not just leaders. Your specific occupation or position in life may not be mentioned but the concepts and techniques can be universally applied.
