Book Description
It’s Valentine's Day and private detective John Justin Mallory is planning on closing up the office early and taking his partner, Col. Winnifred Carruthers, out to dinner, since he's sure no one else will do so. But before he can turn off the lights and lock the door, a panic-stricken Buffalo Bill Brody visits them. It seems that the Eastminster pet show is being held the next day, and his dragon, Fluffy, the heavy favorite, has been kidnapped. Mallory's nocturnal hunt for the miniature dragon takes him to some of the stranger sections of this Manhattan—Greenwitch Village (which is right around the corner from Greenwich Village and is populated by witches and covens); a wax museum where figures of Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre come alive; Gracie Mansion (which is haunted by the ghosts of former mayors); and the Bureau of Missing Creatures, a movie set where they're filming a PBS documentary on zombies and various other denizens of the Manhattan night. As Mallory follows the leads and hunts for clues, he comes up against one dead end after another. Along the way he meets a few old friends and enemies, and a host of strange new inhabitants of this otherworldly Manhattan. Aided by a strange goblin named Jeeves, Mallory has only one night to find a tiny dragon that's hidden somewhere in a city of seven million.

Book Description
Special Operations missions into North Vietnam during the war took special soldiers with special talents and skills and Army Journalist Mike Butler didnt have any of them! In this rollicking, absurd adventure, Jorgenson takes you on a behind the lines mission stalking the biggest dragon of them all. Fast paced and wildly entertaining, its an action packed take on Murphys Law with a helmet. Jorgenson has captured the ?Çÿflavor of the Vietnam War as only an actual participant can. The dialogue, the danger, and the storyline are authentic. A great read! I really enjoyed the story. -Gary Linderer, author of Phantom Warriors, Six Silent Men (Book Three) and Eyes of the Eagle.

Book Description
When God visited me in a vision, He placed a radiant golden two-edged sword in my hand, and said to me; "That's the sword of your victory!" In my carnal mind, I thought the Almighty had visited me to grant me victory on the revival of my ailing business venture that had collapsed three months earlier. This however marked the beginning of a new transformation in my life that saw me go through great oppression culminating in a life threatening situation; being pitted face-to-face against Lucifer, before my redemption finally came. It is a potent narrative that sounds stranger than fiction, yet is all a real life experience. This book reveals the closely guarded secrets of darkness in great details; and will ultimately keep you glued to it to the end.

Book Description
Poetry. As our material face-to-face world, threatened from so many directions, slips into potentially infinite virtual spaces...where have we gone? This slippage has happened suddenly, worldwide, and we do not know whether it renders humankind irrelevant, serves as an escape from apocalyptic problems, or is to be welcomed as a new direction for human life. For Strickland, poetry shares with mathematics and code a "proclivity for extreme semantic condensation within a formalized language structure," and is thus her chosen instrument to track this enormous, increasingly invisible dragon-in-the-room stalking our time.
