Engines of Destiny
In the Star Trek feature film GENERATIONS, engineer Montgomery Scott was on board the Enterprise-B when Captain James T. Kirk was lost in the course of a mission to save the lives of dozens of refugees - among them an enigmatic woman called Guinan. One year later Scott is propelled seventy-five years into the future to the Enterprise-D where he once again encounters Guinan, now the bartender on the flagship captained by Jean-Luc Picard. Struggling to adjust to life in the twenty-fourth century, Scott hatches an audacious plan to go back in time and rescue Jim Kirk. But his attempt to save his old friend has disastrous consequences for the timeline and Scott, Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise-D all find themselves in an alternate twenty-third century in which the Federation no longer exists and the Borg have assimilated humanity. The key to restoring the timeline and saving the human race lies with Guinan - the very person who might be responsible for the timeslip in the first place…
Experience the Golden Age of Boxing
This book contains my personal written and photographic account of the last golden era of professional boxing, which began when six Americans who won medals at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal turned pro and ended in 1983 when Marvin Hagler knocked out Thomas Hearns in three thrilling rounds. The real boxing enthusiast will vividly recall that bright shining period in the history of our favorite sport and remember nothing at all about me. That is exactly as it should be because this book is about the fighters and not the writer, who started to memorialize their exploits with a manual typewriter, nondigital camera, and miniature tape recorder over a quarter of a century ago.

Run and Not Be Weary
Sometimes life requires us to make a leap of faith. Lee Murphy is a good runner - he finishes near the front in his local running club's races - but he thinks he should be better. He has tried everything he can think of to improve, but nothing works until a chance conversation with acquaintance and fellow runner Emily Dawson leads him to clinical psychologist Lucinda Gehringer, Emily's boss. Lucinda's instruction, Emily's friendship and Lee's developing faith combine to produce an inspirational yearlong odyssey. Others, particularly his pastor, befriend and support Lee along the way, but not everyone has his best interests at heart. Circumstances test Lee's growing faith. His own mother is an impediment and the self-serving Lucinda is a mixed blessing. Lee wants to succeed while being a man of God who cares for others. But it isn't easy in a dog-eat-dog world where some people are driven by ambition and self-interest.

Elk Grove
Elk Grove's roots go back to 1850, when the community consisted of only a stage-stop hotel. In 1876, this small farm town in the shadow of Sacramento became a crossroads along the new railroad tracks. As the railroad era progressed, it brought significant changes to Elk Grove--fields were transformed into orchards, vineyards, and eventually, residential developments. But Elk Grove remained just a part of southern Sacramento County until citizens prevailed in their attempt to establish cityhood. The city was formally incorporated on July 1, 2000, with 72,665 residents and, by 2006, had grown remarkably to exceed 130,874.
