Wastelanders

Someone went missing.
Someone went dead.
Some eerie interpretive.
Cards are read.

Dogs, cats and autos
might not be there.
But Louie’ll find ‘em.
Fifty per plus ‘L’ fare.

About the author:

Steve Schneiderman is an associate professor at the Institute of Engineering at Murray State University. Steve has been professional environmental engineering for over 40 years, college professing for over 30, golfing nearly 60. Parting adage for graduates: “Get a good job. Join a fancy country club and invite me to be a guest.” Eternal student commentary: “He’s the strangest Doc I ever met.”

Otherwise Evilicious

Okay fine, Louie Leppedimay doesn’t save the world. But he helps ensure the integrity of pizza delivery. To piece-prize, Louie will have to rely on Rudy’s face stuffing, library tingling, and help from Universal Crudification Miss Americas. He will wade knee-deep into feely-touchy influence from a romance novella and end-around musical comedy dirges. “The devil made me do it” denizens don’t take Louie seriously. Bad luck, there.

Marshlanders

Inquisitive spats
with cats and rats
heaving into oceanic storms

Though imagery surrounds
orbs launched out-of-bounds
dance on through skeptical scorn

But at the 19th dinette
where you settle all bets
evilists end up forlorn

Lakelanders

Louie Leppedimay and the gaggle of Universal Crudification Miss Americas once again thwart evil, choke down Old Styles, lie religiously at the Dugout, golf up a tepid storm, and otherwise flounder along the fuzzy boundary separating intellectual acuity from bumbling idiocy. How they manage without serious wounds, other than toward pride and good taste, remains an eternal mystery.

About the author:

Steve Schneiderman practices college and professional engineering. It pays the bills. But he has always preferably embraced liberal arts. He simply realized long ago that literary passion would not pay any bills. Louie Leppedimay mysteries overlap art and applied science. The reader might get some laughs; might learn a little about technical ecology along the way

About the author:

Steven is an associate professor at the Institute of Engineering at Murray State University. He specializes in environmental engineering and regulatory affairs. Steven has nearly forty years of professional engineering experience. His literary endeavors were limited to compositions for friends, including songs, newsletters, greeting cards, and children’s stories. Apostlyptic is the fifth Louie Leppedimay mystery.

Fight or Flight: The Ultimate Book for Understanding and Managing Stress

Fight or Flight is a two part book. Part one explains how stress is an integral part of our lives. It can be motivational or debilitating. Therefore it is not avoiding stress, but rather managing stress that is critical. The book discusses the four conditions that cause stress, mindset, habitual thought patterns, and how the brain functions during stress. Part two is aimed at helping us manage stress. Stress can affect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Hence, rather than relying on general stress reduction techniques, it is better to employ specific physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual techniques for managing stress.

About the author:

Author Jay Lillie, a Manhattan based lawyer, has travelled the globe representing
American business clients and foreign banks and insurance companies regarding
their investments in the U.S. His novels reflect the cultures and people of the
many environments in which he has been employed to solve problems and close
deals. The acclaimed Pacific Rebound is international suspense at its best and
takes us from Manhattan, throughout what the author coins AustralAsia, to
Japan, and the Great Australian Desert. His novels, Havana Passage, Justice,
and Gitmo take place closer to home but feast on the same global awareness
Jay Lillie brings to the stage of life. His characters are fictitious, but places and
situations are very real, including those within the workings of Capital Hill
and Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, where most international lawyers
spent the rest of their time. Jay’s experience racing sailboats in his teens, as a
Naval Officer, and Bermuda Race veteran, brings the plot of FOUR to life.
