But just as she is worrying about how to tell her long-time soul mate, Hanover Fist, about what happened, a knock at the door reveals a man with glowing red eyes.Meanwhile, at the New Orleans police precinct, Hanover Fist stops by to see Duncan O'Malley after a long hot day walking the beat. O'Malley is hard at work trying to solve the case of a negro child found comatose from severe burns. The only clue they have to go on is a tattoo newly inked onto the child's skin and the fact that the child was found not far from Ring of Life Herbs and Charms, a shop belonging to Mama Cats. Although Hanover doesn't believe that what she does is voodoo, there are some on the police force who call it that. Could Mama Cats actually harm a child? Hanover doesn't believe so, but he also knows he might have a hard time proving it unless he can discover who is responsible.The Reunion is the Book 2 in the main story arc of the Dime Store Novel series, an urban fantasy novella about a world that appears normal unless you look close enough to see the fairies and the goblins.

Despite its acronym-laden title, Professional SQL Server 7.0 Development Using SQL-DMO, SQL-NS &amp; DTS is actually a very readable and approachable guide to programming administrative modules for SQL Server 7.0. Aimed at the Visual Basic or C++ programmer, this book delivers a fine guide to the objects, API, and programmer strategies you'll need to do more with Microsoft databases.
 Any database administrator uses the powerful SQL Server Enterprise Manager for a variety of database tasks, whether designing new databases, tables, and indexes, or backing-up, replicating, and copying data. The goal of this text is to let you perform these tasks programmatically by using the SQL Distributed Management Framework (DMF). After reading this book, you should be able to write programs that automate common database administration tasks.
 This title begins with the objects that Enterprise Manager uses to do its work, known as the SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO). The authors walk through the object model here and show off common tasks, such as configuring SQL Server 7.0, creating indexes, and doing backups programmatically. There's also good coverage of role-based security through objects, as well as a later section that explores your options for managing replication in your own programs. While SQL-DMO exposes much of the underlying functionality of Enterprise Manager, the SQL Namespace (SQL-NS) objects let you borrow the actual dialog boxes and wizard screens in custom applications. 
 A final group of objects, the Data Transformation Services (DTS), lets you copy and transform data between one data source and another. The authors look at both the wizard-based DTS tools and the underlying objects for use within your own code.
 Besides a tutorial to some of the tasks that can be automated by using SQL-DMF, this volume doubles as a reference, listing over 60 objects and 1,000 methods. This surprisingly useful and accessible title can get you started thinking on how to simplify database administration in custom programs by using these powerful SQL Server APIs, both in stand-alone applications and ASP-based Web pages. --Richard Dragan
 Topics covered: Introduction to SQL Server 7.0 administration with SQL Distributed Management Framework (SQL-DMF), overview of Windows Distributed interNet Applications Architecture (DNA), SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO), starting, stopping and configuring servers; querying database and table information, building indexes, role-based security and user management, backup and restore with SQL-DMO, scheduling jobs with the SQL Agent, SQL Namespace (SQL-NS) objects for accessing Enterprise Manager dialog boxes and wizards, deploying SQL-DMF applications, replication management, Data Transformation Services (DTS): wizards, tools, and programmatic access; installing and using the Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE), tutorial for using SQL-DMO with Visual C++, complete SQL-DMF object and method reference.
