Poverty of Economics
By D.L. Snow
Babyboomer contradictions have their story told here in a parody and postmodern style, in the microcosm, generally, of Berleley California. And this is a crime novel.
Red Bautsky majors in anthropology and goes into the CIA. Rake Beuerbach, a criminologist, becomes a legal semiotic prosecutor in the city of Berkeley. His lifelong partner, Natasha Rimsky, is the heroine here, the girl with the gold earring. Enrico Pelican, a graduate of Cal’s masters in journalism school, is the narrator.
There are many types of capitalism in the word and it is like a whale in an ocean of signs, such that the whale is unaware of the signs. The important thing here is not to smash the means of communication and make treaties. This is a double tragedy and is PG-13 rated.

Powers Trace
By Don Bill
Powers Trace is a fictional town located among the farms on a two-lane road in the lower left corner of Georgia. The five person police force struggles to protect and serve the people of their small town with limited funds and cast-off equipment handed down from the county sheriff’s department. Like police in most small towns, they get the job done working long hours for low pay. This is their story.
Author Bio
I escaped from a small Kansas farm town, to serve 20 years as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force, living a life I dreamed of growing up. After the flying was over, I completed the MBA degree, and spent an unexciting career as a cost accountant in various manufacturing companies. Along the way, small sail boat racing became an obsession and we followed many fleets around courses throughout the Southeast. This led to two terms as the Commodore of the local sailing and yacht club. I now live with my wife in a small town in Georgia.

Praise For The Human Heart
This slim volume represents the stories of many lives, exploring what it means to be human. Some are fictionalized real stories and some are real occurrences but with imagined emotional responses, and some really happened but motives and developments are fiction. All writers must start somewhere, and most start with their own life, then branch out into the stories other people tell them. They finally reach the point where the writer can understand how people talk, feel, respond, and remember the events of a lifetime and then they write books.
