I take this opportunity to announce the publication of my new book of essays entitled Feathers in the Dust. The sub-title for this book is "Traditional Essays on the Human Condition". I wanted to write on various ideas that play an important role in our lives, such as love, trust, time and death, but that we give very little serious consideration into their true import and what role they truly play in the course of living. A posting of the new work has been included here in AuthorsDen under the section on my page "Books" where I have posted the preface for interested readers.
