Chapter One of The Seattle Changes

Proximal To Murder
Steve Raymond never wanted to be a cop. He never wanted to be a private eye. He was, in fact, a member of the nice, quiet profession of dentistry. So the one thing Steve Raymond, D.D.S., never figured on was having to solve a murder. Then one night, in a local Seattle tavern, Steve finds himself the only doctor in the house when a local musician collapses onstage and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the musician's death gradually pull the reluctant dentist into conducting his own investigation. But no one else believes it's murder: not his wife, the lawyer, or his best friend, the cop. Steve is on his own this time as he tracks down the most unexpected killer of all.

The Death of Education
In his first non-fiction book, author and educator Eric B. Olsen takes a hard look at public education in America, with alarming results. The failure of education in our country is no secret, but a successful campaign of misdirection waged by educators themselves continues to keep us from understanding why. One teacher's experience of the failure of our public schools to teach their students, The Death of Education finally exposes the truth, shining a light inside public school classrooms that have been dark for far too long.
