Political–military thriller · Revised second edition

When the answer is still “we don’t know”

For eleven seconds, an unidentified object vanishes from the sensors aboard an American destroyer—then reappears on a course no one can explain.

Executive Officer Beth McDonald refuses to accept equipment failure as the answer. Her insistence carries her observations to Washington, where a wounded new president confronts grief, political uncertainty, and responsibilities he never expected to inherit.

Finding Stability, Hope, and Growth

When Your Life Changes

A job ends. A diagnosis arrives. A relationship changes. Someone we love is gone. This book helps you understand where you are, regain your footing, and take the next wise step.

The capital G at the heart of the book traces a curved path from disorientation toward adaptation, renewal, and greater stability. It is a map, not a timetable.

This concise primer introduces position responsibilities, game situations, base running, communication, practice, and game-day decision-making. It gives new players and coaches a practical running start without becoming a lengthy textbook or comprehensive rulebook.
