According to the book
description of Within the Heart and Soul,
"Life offers events, occurrences that exude
expressions that motivate some to act, to
communicate or to write about them. This is a
collection of poems promoted by those
motivators. It is a chronological evolution of
Roger Bull's work from 1957 to mid-November
2011."
According to the book
description of Legalized Crime,
“In dire times, desperate actions tend to
overrule the sanity of a society. When bad is
good, and proper is shameful, laws change to
fit the mores of the times. Drastic actions
become commonly accepted to return sanity to a
populace gone wild.
Presidential candidate,
Martin Talbot, proposed one solution to
stabilize the nation's depressed economy and,
at the same time, to reduce the violent crime
rate. The answer: the Economic Recovery and
Crime Reduction Act. The news media dubbed it
the Legalized Crime bill. Included in the act
is a new process for executing criminals with a
history of violent crimes: nexecution.
Antagonists call it legalized murder."
According to the
book description of
El Rey del Tiempo: It's Not What You
Think, "Death approaches
quickly. Falling at 120 m.p.h. from an altitude
of five miles high, the Special Forces Major
signals to his troops to “stay tight.”
He receives thumbs-up
signs from each member. After this H.A.L.O.
(high altitude - low opening) jump, they reach
their designated altitude and deploy their
chutes.
They land in a discrete area about one half
mile from the target-area, as planned.
Once on the ground, as they remove their jump
gear, including oxygen masks and mini-tanks,
they converse to relieve the stress, yet they
remain focused on the goal of the mission.
Major, “There’s nothing
like dropping in unexpectedly for dinner! Is
there, ladies?”
“You ought to know, Major. Was that Billy Bob
who came home too soon to find his wife and you
after that last mission?”
“Now, don’t be gettin’ insubordinate with me. I
can rattle off 100 stories for every one of you
girlie-boys,” the Major protests with a smile.
Just another assignment earmarked by the
Commander-In-Chief, they carry out their
missions, no matter the task. “What’s a guy or
a gal got to do for lunch money these days?”
“We don’t get paid nothing, Major. But, look at
all the fun we have!”
“Who we gonna kill this time, Major?” asks one
of the soldiers.
“Depends on what they do, Sergeant. Might have
to kill ours and theirs,” the Major replies,
frankly."
According to the book
description of The Thin Line of Good and
Evil, "Detective Dante Nuzzollilo asks
his senior partner, Detective Sergeant August
De Noux, "Why do people do what they do? How
can people be so warm, generous, considerate
one moment then be so deceitful, thieving or
murderous the next?"
"Gus," De Noux explains to
his rookie partner, "God gave mankind the
freedom of choice, free will, to do good or
evil. Mankind has chosen to relentlessly
exercise both choices."
According to the book
description of Life Within the Temples:
Bloodletting, it "throws a Crescent
City wrench into the NOPD. Radical Islamic
extremists strike The City That Care Forgot:
The Big Easy. Spies, terrorists, moles mixed
with ancient battles between religions,
cultures. It’s a bloody conflict that the NOPD
Homicide Task Force was ill-prepared to
fight..., but, who’s stopping them?"
According to the book
description of Tenuem - The Thin Line,
"Detective Sergeant August “Gus” De Noux
proposes that priorities rule Life. People base
their choices upon those orders of importance.
He knows that Life presents him with his next
choice. How will he decide? What will result
from his choice?
His detective partner,
Dante Nuzzollilo, faces his next consideration,
based upon Gus’ choice. Dante confronts the
fork in the road."
