Power Lines is a collection of four stories which incorporate elements of autobiography and fantasy. The first is a story of a place and time in the childhood of the author and goes from his introduction to the town of Crofton in a diamond shaped pit to his final days there in which he was a freshman and sophomore in high school, running over the rolling gravel hills with friends and a teenage first love.  "The Adventures of Bob White" is the second and also somewhat autobiographical story with more sci-fi elements and is followed by the lengthy romance of "100 Weddings With Kristen." Lastly, "Space Adventure" completes the cycle with a short, but deep "longest journey ever taken by mankind" which shares characters from the previous story. I believe these stories will find an interested audience due to their depth, unique adventures and realism of emotion.

In Growth Leadership, Michael Rodgers examines how growth leaders develop, execute, and produce exceptional results in organizations. In today’s turbulent economy it is not enough simply to be a leader. It is critical to be a growth leader, i.e. someone who can manage risk while seizing opportunity to impact the bottom line. Growth leaders are buried within organizations; their skills and talents often go unnoticed—and their potential for generating growth is under-recognized and under-utilized. Author Rodgers helps managers, executives, and leadership trainers identify the diamonds in the rough within their organizations, and then arms them with the tools and techniques for leveraging internal talent that has gone untapped. Written in clear, jargon-free prose and impeccably organized, Growth Leadership is required reading for any organization striving to move up in today’s global economy.

Nabokov and Nietzsche: Problems and Perspectives

Awarded the Jane Grayson Prize by the International Vladimir Nabokov Society Nabokov and Nietzsche: Problems and Perspectives addresses the many knotted issues in the work of Vladimir Nabokov – Lolita’s moral stance, Pnin’s relationship with memory, Pale Fire’s ambiguous internal authorship – that often frustrate interpretation. It does so by arguing that the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, as both a conceptual instrument and a largely unnoticed influence on Nabokov himself, can help to untie some of these knots.
The study addresses the fundamental problems in Nabokov's writing that make his work perplexing, mysterious and frequently uneasy rather than simply focusing on the literary puzzles and games that, although inherent, do not necessarily define his body of work. Michael Rodgers shows that Nietzsche’s philosophy provides new, but not always palatable, perspectives in order to negotiate interpretative impasses, and that the uneasy aspects of Nabokov’s work offer the reader manifold rewards.

Visitors and pilgrims have been coming to Glendalough since early Celtic times, and today it is one of the most-visited ancient sites in Ireland. This detailed guidebook brings out the timeless mystery of this ancient and sacred place, and reveals the treasures of the rich traditions of the area, the legends and stories of its patron, St Kevin, and the lives, lifestyles and beliefs of its inhabitants since earliest times. Uniquely, this guidebook is also a book on Celtic spirituality, based on a pilgrimage journey through Glendalough where both visitor and pilgrim are helped to make connections between the Celtic spirituality of St Kevin and his followers and a spirituality relevant for their own lives today. "It brings to both pilgrims and tourists a new source of inspiration linking the sixth century spirituality of Kevin and his followers with modern times in a meaningful way. In fact, it fills a void and gives food for thought and personal reflection."--The Irish Catholic.
