HEADLINE: If it Weren't for the Killer Bear

They say that before you die, or at least when you are staring death in the eye, your whole life passes before your eyes. In the case of Bob, the lead character in James O'Brien's new novel, Another Life, a cruel twist of fate took place, leaving his life forever changed.

blah blah blah...

Thanks to the reappearance of the killer bear, Bob's hunt for Karla takes on a new direction where he comes across something totally unexpected. His life changes anew in the wilderness and he finds another life where only despair had been.

ATTENTION TEXAS

Editors note: Many of you probably were of the same assumption as Editors Var. in believing that being of the western world, most state governments required licensing for dangerous work before today. Texas residents may want to reconsider their current wiring.

Out of HOUSTON

Anyone who works in the electrical trade in Texas without a license by September 1, 2004 could be in for a shock. September 1, 2004 marks the date that everyone who is engaged in regulated electrical work in Texas, both in the county and city, must be licensed.
