"Real life" fictional character Warren Steelgrave has settled into his author's persona amongst new-found relatives and friends in a small village in Northern Italy. After three years, his possible soulmate and object of romantic memories, Cindy O'Brian comes back into his life. New adventures unfold involving the son of an old friend and the intrigue of the FBI, a crime family, and a long-lost secret for Nicola Tesla's "death ray" Warren is again "willing" to put his life on the line, but can Cindy accept the realization that the man she loves will always "live a life separate" even if they are together?

Perhaps the safest place to enjoy the unfolding of events is from a safe distance as the reader of Mr. Smith's newest novel. Ken Meirovitz

Fact: In Israel, pilot trainees who were praised for doing well subsequently performed worse, while trainees who were shouted at for doing poorly performed better.Highly intelligent women tend to marry men who are less intelligent.Students who get the highest scores in third grade generally get lower scores in fourth grade.Truth: It's wrong to conclude that shouting is a more effective tool.It's wrong to conclude that women choose men whose intelligence does not intimidate them.It's wrong to conclude that schools are failing their students.There's one reason for each of these truths: a concept called regression to the mean.

Random Revelations is a book that began as a blog. Over the last few years God has revealed many things to me, using ordinary objects and every day situations. I felt God leading me to share those revelations, or short stories, with everyone. This collection is a random selection of some of those revelations. The only themes that is universal in this book are God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I pray that these stories impact you in a great way and lead you into a closer relationship with the Lord.
