When the real-world superhero Spectrum grows frustrated with the limited ways he can help people using his superpowers, he decides he can do more good as a politician and runs for office.Having devoted his life to helping others, Spectrum won''t settle for a typical political career. After winning the Missouri governorship, he launches a 2020 presidential bid dedicated to fixing a country that Americans have consistently said is on the wrong track. But as he develops proposals for issues from a growing wealth gap to paralyzing partisanship, he realizes that America''s real troubles are deeper: a loss of individual agency, an increasing quantification of life that undermines morality and erodes our humanity.Meanwhile, his campaign is beset by problems. He never imagined how difficult it would be to run for president as an atheist immigrant from a destroyed planet who is honest and serious about the issues. Further, his campaign must overcome him ditching campaign events to rescue people in Bangladesh from a typhoon, and the public''s fear of an alien takeover after a scientist offers to restart his race by cloning him. Will Spectrum win a mandate to restore America to its place as a pioneer among nations, or lose and watch it slide further into dissonance and mediocrity?

For so long, some teachings in the Hoy Bible have simply been passed on to the younger generation like folklore stories. Just as it happens in folklore stories, the facts gradually get distorted and the next generation inherits half-truths and misinformation. God promised us in Jeremiah 3 verse 15: "And I will give you Pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." This book is filled with Bible-based, Christ-centered teachings to help improve our daily Christian lifestyle.Without proper guidance in any institution, one cannot decipher who is who, and who handles what, and in what order to proceed. We can end up missing the mark because of zeal without knowledge. Paul specifically prayed against such occurrences in Romans 10 verses 2 and 3: "For I bear witness that they have a zeal for God but not according to knowledge. For they, being ignorant of God''s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God."

Love Scenes depict the sexual attraction between men and women. The attraction is unspoken, most of the time, but always consensual. This erotic literature is patterned after the books of Anais Nin who was a pioneer of erotic literature.

What readers have said about The Hidden Holmes:"I congratulate you on finding a niche in Sherlockian scholarship. It''s hard to find/write something that hasn''t been done before. You did that and did it very well.""This book is extremely readable, entertaining, and filled with smart, perceptive comments. It reads like a conversation.""What sets The Hidden Holmes apart is how it works its way through the sixty tales, one story at a time. This gives you ample room to find insights.""I liked your point that the stories have deeper social meanings.""Among your insights, I thought your account of Dr. Doyle''s extensive use of aptonyms was particularly compelling. To my knowledge, though others have noted individual examples, I can''t think of anyone who has gone into such depth.""Would I buy and recommend your book? Certainly!"

TAP IN TO SOURCETHE PATHWAY TO PEACE AND PURPOSEOne of the worst things you can do to a non-religious person is immerse them in your own religious beliefs. Some fail to realize different people hypothetically speak different languages; therefore, approach and communication is everything. I believe that religion is a vessel to strengthen your spirituality and to personally tap into the Divine Source is the goal. Source is God, the most high, the universe, etc. Most importantly Source is LOVE. People get so hung up on titles that they forget to focus on purpose. Many often wonder what people mean when they speak of spiritual awakening, Kundalini energy, 3rd eye awakening, etc. Even I was clueless to what this all really and truly meant, until I experienced my own awakening. It is often said that people can have very different awakening experiences, but I am convinced, when you have truly gone through it, you will feel it, and you will know it.Tap into Source is a guide and resource regarding spiritual awakening. This book is a tool that one can refer to whenever one is searching for insight, information, reminders, encouragement, and understanding. I detail how to cope with the symptoms of awakening and also how to create a connection with Source. In spirituality, you will find that one must face their darkness before one can radiate their brightest light. The unknown can be scary, but once you gain understanding and a direct relationship with the source, you can become unstoppable. I will also explain my take on religion and how it correlates with spirituality.
