Jigsaw: is a continuation of the story begun in Admiral's Son General's Daughter. This book describes in vivid detail what may have occurred in the United States Military during the Roosevelt Presidential administration. The narration is by the grandson of a career naval officer, born in Beaufort, South Carolina. He will serve within the Office of Naval Intelligence in the Army Navy Building, Washington D.C. The explosive historical events of 1903 through 1906 are carefully followed. The imagination of the author provides rich characters in powerful settings from the jungles of Central America to the capitals of the European countries just prior to World War I. The many relationship stories between a man scorned and women incapable of love are woven throughout the book when the grandson graduates from law school and interviews with the United States Jag Corps. He is unaware that his father and his Uncle Theodore Roosevelt have decided to tap his knowledge of the law and his photographic memory to become one of this countries most successful counter intelligence officers. Scenes are set carefully with attention to accurate research of the low country of South Carolina as well as our Nation's Capital circa 1903-1906. The second edition of People's Standard History of the United States written by Edward S. Ellis and published in 1906 by Western Book Syndicate and copyrighted by the Woolfall Company have provided background materials, maps and photographs of the period, and needed information on how the federal government was organized and functioned during this period of history.
This is not a book; neither is the author a writer. It is a collection of ideas, thoughts, poems and maybe stories. Somewhere, I once read that an artist or poet speaks of how we are feeling by telling us how they are feeling. If that is the case, well, maybe you should read this book."In a distant place, one man had a dream of lands bountiful, and new to the touch. Alas, there was a spirit who wanted what he saw, so when he met the dreamer he upped and shut the door."Ragman Jones 2010 - for more information please visit www.ragmanjones.com

As someone who has been guiding people through the catacombs of their own lives for decades, Francis Dorff, O. Praem. is uniquely qualified to tell stories that evoke personal experiences of the treasures residing within each of us. Readers may recognize their own lives reflected in his description of: being “a stranger in a strange land,” wondering where to turn when a door to one’s “promised land” closes in one’s face, exploring intimations of a Loving Mystery beneath the surface of all of life, embracing parts of our life that we have been neglecting, and creatively getting to know our own deepest self. This book will encourage those of us who are yearning to live more peacefully with others to see how we can “meditatively journey together to the underground place within us that is deeper than all our differences.” Those who are feeling stuck may find some help in Fr. Dorff’s insight into how “widening the scope of my attentiveness has a lot to do with my being able eventually to take a creative next step.” And everyone can be inspired by the author’s “experiment with loving” and how many different forms this loving can take over the course of a long, rich life. Here is a personal invitation to learn how to live with the ongoing tensions between solitude and community, meditation and ministry, “getting it all together” and letting it all fall apart—as well as being a misfit and a mystic on a deeply personal pilgrimage.
