Book excerpt: I've never took the time to tell anyone who I am. To be honest no one will truly know who they are. Most people still find themselves lost and like them I am still finding myself. I was born in North Carolina on August 5, 1978. I moved around a lot at first from state to state till my parents decided to go separate ways. I believe that was the turning point in my life. My mother was now both. I eventually moved to Baton Rouge, LA where I currently reside at now. I grew up for the most part like everyone else. I had friends and girlfriends a normal childhood I would say. After graduating high school I quickly joined the United States Navy where I learned a great deal of hardship and knowledge, but for the most part it changed me for the better rather than worse. I got married then divorced then married and divorced once again. Yes, that's right twice. Let's just say we had differences. I got out of the Navy on May, 16th 2005 and finally returned to where I started. I'm here and in many ways I'm not. My mind often wonders where to go next, but with time I'll know. I'm a hopeless romantic always thinking with my heart and always taking chances on my heart even when I already see the obvious outcome. I have a son whom I love more than life and I have my family which has given me support any time I needed it. As you read my thoughts and my questions you will be able to identify who I am and how I think. I'm not complicated, but some people may think I am. I have a twist in poetry. I do not use hard complicated words where you would need a dictionary to understand the meaning and I rarely rhyme, but on occasion I do. I love the sound of the ocean and the feel of course sand between my toes . I am very trust worthy although people seem to take that for granted. I trust people as far as I can throw them. Nah I'm just playing. I trust certain people to a point like most people you have to earn trust it's not something you can easily give away. I am very outgoing, but in some

To this strange and provocative planet comes Detective Elijah Baley, sent from the streets of New York with his positronic partner, the robot R. Daneel Olivaw, to solve an incredible murder that has rocked Solaria to its foundations. The victim had been so reclusive that he appeared to his associates only through holographic projection. Yet someone had gotten close enough to bludgeon him to death while robots looked on.

The days and nights are growing longer and longer; gravity is affected; the birds, the tides, human behavior, and cosmic rhythms are thrown into disarray.
