Are You Over-Paying for Textbooks?
Since it's Back to School time I thought I'd post a few Public Service Announcements to save you money and keep you from being ripped off. We now have the latest (9th edition) of
Issues in Internet Law: Society, Technology, and the Law
available in downloadable electronic format priced at $89.95, FAR LESS then the print version ($112.95). But be careful where you order it: eCampus is selling it ABOVE the list price for $107.94 while VitalSource offers the same download for $89.95. Link:...
Scam Alert!
A word of caution, especially for students. There are several websites purporting to offer a free PDF download of my book, Issues in Internet Law: Society, Technology, and the Law. Two important things you should know: First, there are no PDF copies in existence. This is a scam to get you to sign up with these sites and hand them your credit card info. Once these unscrupulous crooks have that, it will cost you a lot more than the price of the book. If you are foolish enough to register and pa...

An Excerpt from The 25th Hour (Book One in The Adventures of Mackenzie Mortimer):
Tucker folded a note and passed it down the row. Mackenzie’s eyes followed its path, horrified to see it end its sojourn through the classroom at Vanessa Carlyle’s desk. Mackenzie’s heart skipped a beat, as the teenaged heiress read the note and smiled at Tucker.
Omigod! No, this is not happening, Mackenzie thought. Tucker Bryant is not going after my girl, even if she doesn’t know she’s my girl yet. He watc...

Don’t Bother Running Kid; Your Time is Up!
An Excerpt from The 25th Hour (Book One in The Adventures of Mackenzie Mortimer):
The teenaged gunman looked puzzled, as he pulled the trigger with no result.
Mackenzie grinned. “Lose something?”
The shooter stared in disbelief at the empty magazine well in his AR-15.
Mackenzie held up the gun’s magazine. “Looking for this?”
“I don’t know how you did that, smart-ass, but that’s the last trick you’ll pull.” The gunman reached into his backpack and pulled out another magazine filled with ammun...

Can You Stop a Speeding Bullet? He can.
An Excerpt from The 25th Hour (Book One in The Adventures of Mackenzie Mortimer):
“My friend’s going to ring the fire alarm as soon as I start shooting. When the halls fill with students, they’re going to turn into a shooting gallery. We’ll score a higher body count than Columbine and Virginia Tech combined.”
“If you start shooting, you won’t get out of this alive,” Vanessa said. “There’ll be SWAT teams surrounding the school in minutes.”
The boy laughed. “We ain’t planning to make it...

He Was Fairly Certain No One Had Ever Seen a Man Die Like That.
An Excerpt from The 25th Hour (Book One in The Adventures of Mackenzie Mortimer):
The tremor shook Mackenzie from his reverie. He gazed up to see the space ahead of him billow and fold, as if he were viewing it through a smoky haze. A figure hurtled toward him, seemingly coming from nowhere, and landed at his feet.
Mackenzie dropped the broomstick in surprise. “Are you all right, mister?”
A wrinkled, liver-spotted hand pushed against the pavement, propelling the figure to his feet. He stood, st...
