29,700-word fantasy romance novella (120 pages if released in print) HEAT LEVEL: spicy Blurb: One's darkness proves the other's light. Bored with her muse duties and unable to face immortality another day, Calliope, the muse of writing and epic poetry, asks Zeus to end her eternal existence. Zeus sends her to Hades instead. Deep down in the underworld lies a pool from which all life springs. If Calliope can find it, she can request death of Gaia at Gaia's pool. Deceased twentieth-century archaeologist's psyche, Jake Genoese, comes to her aid. More from the fact he's riding her coattails. He's embarking on a journey to whatever lies beyond the River Acheron--early. He wasn't buried with an obol to expedite his trip to the afterlife. So, he "borrows" Calliope's. Guilt from the torment his actions cause her helps him see beyond his soul's reality of using the beautiful goddess. Oh, to live and never know you've lived...In the end, Jake and Calliope bless the song of the Sacred Hours for love, lust, and passion brought to fruition by an adventure inspired by ANCIENT MUSINGS.

At the heart of "All Things Flow into Form" (Fan wu liu xing), an ancient Chinese manuscript recently salvaged from the black market, is a concern with the process of self-cultivation, particularly the advancement through the incremental stages and the outcome that awaits one in the end: enlightenment, transparency, and self-possession. Critical to this discussion is a conception of a mind within a mind, the unity of which is obtained through the isolation of an innermost core free from extraneous distractions. Such a state is presented as an ideal for kingship, and the text, despite its possibly very ancient roots, is focused on the ruler's ethical training rather than his political maneuvers, his obligation to Heaven and the spirits rather than his dominance over his subjects. Probing deep into this text, we may observe heretofore unappreciated aspects of many of the transmitted literary sources, and in turn, come to more definite conclusions about the manuscript itself. To the extent that this analysis is successful, it illustrates an approach that can be tested against future efforts to read ancient Chinese texts in the light of newly unearthed documents.

This story revolves around Haykar the Sage, who is a Philosopher, the Wazir of Sankharib the Sovran, and the son of the wise man's sister Nadan the Fool. This story relates that during the days of Sankháríb the King, Lord of Asúr and Naynawah, there was a Sage, Haykár hight, Grand Wazir of that Sovran, a philosopher, and endowed with lore and rede and experience. Now he had interwedded with threescore wives and had no boy to tend, thus was unhappy. So one day he gathered together the experts, astrologers and wizards, and related to them his case and complained of the condition caused by his barrenness. He did what they bade and set corbans and victims before the images and craved their assistance, humbling himself with prayer and petition; withal they vouchsafed to him never a word of reply. So he fared forth in distress and disappointment and went his ways all disheartened. Then he returned in his humiliation to Almighty Allah and confided his secret unto Him and called for succour in the burning of his heart, and cried with a loud voice saying, "O God of Heaven and Earth, O Creator of all creatures, I beg Thee to vouchsafe unto me a son wherewith I may console my old age and who may become my heir, after being present at my death and closing my eyes and burying my body." Hereat came to a Voice from Heaven which said, "Since at first thou trustedst in graven images and offers to them victims, so shalt thou remains childless, lacking sons and daughters. However, get thee up and take to thee Nádán, thy sister's child; and, after taking this nephew to son, do thou inform him with thy learning and thy good breeding and thy sagesse, and demise to him that he inherits of thee after thy decease." Will the Sage adopt his nephew Nadan?

In "The Symphony of Entropy," author David Guillot takes readers on an enchanting journey to explore the universal concept of Optimally Dissipative Configuration (ODC). Rooted in the intricate dance of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, ODC unveils the hidden secrets of how nature organizes and evolves complex systems, from the marvel of life itself to the vastness of the cosmos. From a young age, Guillot's inquisitive mind yearned for unifying answers that could bridge the gap between human intelligence and the intelligence of the cosmos. Unsatisfied with conventional explanations, the author embarked on a quest to discover overarching laws that govern everything in the universe, leading to the profound insights of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the revolutionary unifying concept of ODC. At its core, ODC emerges from the foundational principles of the second law of thermodynamics—the principle that dictates the inevitable increase of disorder, captured as entropy production, within isolated systems. But ODC goes beyond traditional interpretations of entropy, revealing a mesmerizing possibility: the harnessing of entropy production to give rise to purposeful, directed structures within a system. Through the pages of "The Symphony of Entropy," readers are invited to explore the intricate interplay between dissipative processes and intricate arrangements. This symphony of transformations orchestrates the flow of energy, maximizing entropy production in a coordinated and purposeful manner, creating awe-inspiring complexity (including us) amidst apparent chaos. The book weaves a captivating narrative across diverse disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and the social sciences. It reveals that ODC transcends disciplinary boundaries, serving as a unifying force that unravels the fundamental truths behind the astonishing diversity of systems and phenomena surrounding us. With vivid examples from everyday life and natural wonders, "The Symphony of Entropy" illuminates how ODC operates in biological organisms, weather patterns, and societal structures. It challenges conventional wisdom surrounding the origins of life, encouraging readers to contemplate a natural evolutionary process rather than relying on divine intervention. Delving into the historical and scientific influences that shaped ODC, the book addresses controversies and debates, offering a new direction for exploring the mysteries of life and the universe. It fosters a profound sense of interconnectedness, nurturing a quest for knowledge, meaning, and a deeper understanding of the cosmos. Through its harmonious fusion of science and spirituality, "The Symphony of Entropy" challenges conventions, ignites debates, and invites readers to contemplate their place within the grand tapestry of time. Embracing the transformative power of ODC, readers will unveil the awe-inspiring wisdom that orchestrates the universe's symphony of entropy. Join David Guillot on a journey that will forever change the way you perceive the world and your place within it. This book promises to inspire curiosity, spark wonder, and nurture a deeper appreciation for the marvels of existence. Whether you are an avid explorer of science or a seeker of profound truths, "The Symphony of Entropy" beckons you to embrace the transformative magic of Optimally Dissipative Configuration (ODC) and embark on an unforgettable quest for understanding and enlightenment.

In this starkly humorous novel, set in post World-War 2 England, we experience the realities of life on the sprawling, sooty streets of Yorkshire. Martin Rooney is a young man, scarred by a childhood of bombings, black-outs and bad news followed by three years of traumatic service in R.A.F. Bomber Command, only to find equally bleak prospects for post-war employment. He signs on as an officer of the Crown and enters a world that he had never imagined, a world which quickly alters his view of policemen as angels of justice. Through Martin's eyes, we experience drunkenness, corruption, crime and death, viewed with gentle empathy and rare understanding. We ride with him through the bustle of life, seeing facets of the criminal world not usually considered; the imperfections of a deeply flawed criminal justice system and the day to day distortion of truth and honesty which results. A rich narrative by an author with intimate knowledge of the era, Never Pure and Seldom Simple offers a glimpse into the reality of life, bereft of glamour but still full of honesty, warmth, humor and affection.
