Struggling actor Peter Abbott is about to land the biggest role of his life. His audition for Calliope Associates—a clandestine private investigation firm made up of men and women with highly developed psychic abilities—requires only proof of Peter's psychic skills, no dramatic monologue. 
Business is booming until members of the group begin disappearing at the hands of fellow psychic Simon Haywood. His genius is matched only by Peter's, but Simon alone discovers a unique way to use his extrasensory skills to travel back in time, committing crimes without any trace. Simon's mind grows warped and paranoid as the universe strains against his tinkering. Terrified that his extracurricular voyages will be curtailed, he plans to "erase" his colleagues. But Simon's methods are not exactly cold-blooded; instead he goes back to the moment of his victims' conception and prevents them from being created. Because no one in the present day recalls he or she ever existed, he's not caught . . . until Peter realizes what's happening. Now time is running out as Simon's sociopathic travels are disrupting the universe, folding and twisting the constraints of matter to a near-breaking point and threatening to spin the entire cosmos out of control. 
A Fold in the Tent of the Sky takes murder into a new dimension as it races toward its electrifying, time-twisting climax.

Packing Your Parachute: Changing the Way Executives Buy Business Insurance

Not many people complain of parachutes failing. It is usually too late. Like parachutes, inadequate insurance programs are many times discovered post haste following a catastrophe, often much to the surprise of management. In this book, we discuss some real-life stories of uninsured or underinsured disasters and coverage disputes. These stories are largely based upon our experiences as insurance expert witnesses in cases where an improperly designed insurance program led to years of litigation, unimaginable costs, and sometimes the bankrupting of the business and its owner. The mission of this book is to capture the attention of executives on why the way they may be buying business insurance could be all wrong and to provide suggestions on how to improve the process. We write this book as an antivirus scanning program of sorts for the insurance buyer to use in analyzing whether a business insurance agency and insurer are properly packing the company's parachute.
