As we begin our journey down the path of enrichment, enlightenment and empowerment, let us pray for deliverance from the forces of ignorance and stupidity that rise up before us, and seek to destroy us: "Dominus ominus, exodous en massicus, afarious fromicus, all ye dumbassicus." Do you like that? I wrote it myself...and would you believe that I've never even studied Latin...

In this witty, incisive guide to critical thinking the author provides you with the tools to allow you to question beliefs and assumptions held by those who claim to know what they’re talking about. These days there are many people whom we need to question: politicians, lawyers, doctors, teachers, clergy members, bankers, car salesmen, and your boss. This book will empower you with the ability to spot faulty reasoning and, by asking the right sorts of questions, hold people accountable not only for what they believe but how they behave. By using this book you’ll learn to analyze your own thoughts, ideas, and beliefs, and why you act on them (or don’t). This, in turn, will help you to understand why others might hold opposing views. And the best way to change our own or others’ behavior or attitudes is to gain greater clarity about underlying motives and thought processes. In a media-driven world of talking heads, gurus, urban legends, and hype, learning to think more clearly and critically, and helping others to do the same, is one of the most important things you can do.

Magnus Malachi, a magician, is guarding his latest moneyspinner - Tersias, a blind boy who can see into the future. But as Tersias's powers become known, others who seek to use them are drawn from the shadows: Jonah, a teenage highwayman, and his companion in crime Tara; Solomon, a crazed zealot who has bred a new species of giant flesh-eating locusts; and Lord Malpas, a keeper of mysterious powers. They all want Tersias - but is he a force for good or evil? And can he ever rid himself of the dark spirit that torments his soul?

Jake Dalton is determined to live his life as an anonymous face in the crowd. He has had enough of the political backstabbing and lack of leadership that infests Washington, DC. Unfortunately, he learns through his extensive knowledge of the country's national security networks and associated safeguards that those in high political office intend to make a complete mockery of their sworn oaths to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. He finds himself in a tumbling vortex of deceit and dishonor in his attempt to prevent those in high public office who would destroy the country from accomplishing their task.

This book springs from the imagination. All characters, with the exception of Brett Michaels, and every situation and scenario are fictitious. It is not intended to depict any real person, whether living or deceased. When Brett Michaels is mentioned, it is not the person which is meant but the personality he projects both on stage and on TV. The geography of Western New York has been changed. The quotes from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid are merely used to express an emotion in an amusing way. In this depiction of an intelligent yet underachieving adult wavering between boredom and the desire for meaning in life, I have attempted to combine the commonplace with the pressing feeling that there must be something more. Danny Gables has just turned thirty years old and he is without direction. He must make a decision but any decision he makes will negate the possibility of the other. Should he commit to what is expected of him, and thus commit to his home-town ways? Or should he meander along and hold out for the possibility that life has more to offer? He spends his time chasing women and frequenting bars, which provide him with the genuine reflections that are lacking in his real life of work and routine. But one day it strikes him to begin an investigation an impractical quest for authenticity that frustrates the people that know him, compromises the tenuous condition of a loved one, and sends him on a path filled with reflections, road trips, too much drinking and general frivolity. Cynical yet droll, rich in sarcasm and brute truism, The Intermittent proves to be a lesson in existentialism.
