Gifts for Any Time, but Especially Now

Now that we're finished with that Black Friday and CyberMonday hysteria, it's time for my annual Christmas poem:

Twas the week before Christmas,

And all through the house,

Every creature was fretting

And starting to grouse.

Then from UPS

Came a gift flowerpot

From a friendly old colleague

Whose gift I'd forgot.  

But then I remembered:

Don't feel like a schnook

In just a few minutes

I can send a great book

No wrapping, no breakage,

No address to scrawl,

No trade-ins, no trouble,

'Cause one size fits all.

So boot up your browser,

And don't be a schnook.

In a fistful of keystrokes

You can send a fine book.

Naturally, I recommend one of my novels for a fun read and fitting gift—perfect for smart adults and bright teenagers.

For just $6.99 each (or less when buying more than one), you can go to http://www.thewomenofpower.org to read about each story and what reviewers said. Then you can send your friends engaging, exciting stories, each one that also carries one or more science/technology themes. 

These novels are my attempts to put the science back in science fiction and the techno back in techno-thrillers.

The Residue Class Mysteries Themes

The Freshman Murders: Computers, Culture, Genealogy

Where There's a Will There's a Murder: Mathematics, Anthropology

The Death Lottery: Randomness, Programming, Espionage

The Quantum Stringers Series Themes

Quantum String Quartet: Physics, Social Psychology

Quantum String Sextet:: Team Building, Communication

Quantum String Band:: Space Travel, Psychology

The Women of Power Series Themes

Mistress of Molecules: Chemistry, Politics

The Hands of God: Parallel Computing, Neurophysiology, Prosthetics

Earth’s Endless Effort: Unconventional Computers, Alien Contact

The Aremac Project Series Themes

The Aremac: Software Development, Testing, Security

Aremac Power: Risks and Rewards of Invention

And, of course, Computers in every story!

And if you've already gifted everyone on your list, I invite you to try one of my novels for yourself. As always, if it doesn't fit for you, I’ll gladly return your money.

Have a wonderful Holiday every day,

Jerry
