Local author Jeffrey Caminsky will be a guest on the "Ebling and You" radio program today.
Caminsky, who is also a retired public prosecutor, will be discussing the recent United States Supreme Court case of United States v Comstock, in which the Court's liberal majority sustained a law allowing federal courts to detain prisoners indefinitely after they have served their sentence. The law, commonly called the Adam Walsh Act, lets federal judges authorize the indefinte detention of those found to be sex offenders who are suffering from a mental illness, or who pose a threat to others, until the court determines that they are no longer a threat, or the state in which they live assumes responsibility for their custody.

College Days Redux
Author Jeffrey Caminsky will be putting down his pen, stepping away from the keyboard, and stepping onto the stage this weekend. Returning to his alma mater, the University of Michigan, Caminsky will be singing with his old college choir, the Michigan Men's Glee Club, joining with other alumni to help the group celebrate its 150th anniversary.
The Glee Club was founded in 1859, and has a reputation as one of the finest men's choral groups in the world. Caminsky was part of the group's European tour in 1971, singing under the direction of Dr. Willis Patterson, when it was named the best men's choir in the world at the Llanglollen music festival in Llanglollen, Wales. One of the selections the alumni group will perform, Randall Thompson's Last Words of David, was the piece that won them the competition.
Currently Caminsky performs locally in the Metro Detroit area as part of the Madonna Chorale, under the dirction of Dr. David Wagner. His books are published by New Alexandria Press, and are available on Amazon and other online sites, as well as through local bookstores.

Two New Science Fiction Novels by Michigan Author Jeffrey Caminsky

New Alexandria Press is proud to announce the publication of two new books, written by Michigan author Jeffrey Caminsky. These books are part of a series of four science fiction novels set 500 years in the future, called The Guardians of Peace. The two newly released books are entitled The Sirens of Space, and The Star Dancers, and are currently available on Amazon. They should be available soon in the local bookstores, and are distributed by Baker and Taylor, as well as the Publisher, New Alexandria Press.
The entire series follows the adventures of Roscoe Cook and the Cosmic Guard (the Interstellar Navy of the day) shortly after humans encounter alien cultures and civilizations for the first time. Unfortunately, the humans of the 26th Century are little different from those we see around us today: while our technology and culture has made great strides over the years, many of us are as self-centered as ever. And since Outer Space in the year 2550 is not the exclusive province of philosophers and scientists, the best as well as the worst of Terran society has spread throughout the Frontier...and is pressing their government to take a harder line against the aliens.
The first book—The Sirens of Space—lays out the background for the rest of the series. Commander Cook, a gifted young officer, is promoted to captain and given command of his starship. But, military contractors having changed little over the years, his ship causes him nothing but grief-and it's all he can do to keep everyone's mind focused on getting their ship ready to sail. Meanwhile, politicians and commercial interests are scheming to bring about a change in the Terran Government, hoping for one more amenable to exploiting the riches to be found in the star clouds and planets of the Cosmic East, where the aliens are resisting Terran encroachment. As the book ends, the principals are taking to the skies...toward whatever fate awaits them among the stars.
T
he second book—The Star Dancers—is where the adventure begins. The reader learns about alien culture, which is suffering from internal divisions. We meet Gal’Shenga, an alien leader anxious to achieve his dream of reforming and modernizing his society, and his nephew Ga’Glish, commander of the alien fleet. But the Terra’s Cosmic Guard has problems of its own: pirates and privateers are still infesting their skies, as they have for hundreds of years...a vestige of their history that has led Terra to develop ever-better machines of destruction to protect their lanes of commerce. Meanwhile, a band of ne'er-do-wells, eager to recover riches away deep inside alien skies, confronts an alien scientific outpost just as a peace conference is concluding on an alien world...setting the stage for conflict and tragedy, unless both sides are able to control the hotheads on either side of the border. The book ends with Captain Cook struggling to find his way back to Terra through uncharted skies, as the galaxy is descending into chaos.
The next volume—called Clouds of Darkness—is planned for release in the Fall of 2009. The concluding book in the series—entitled The Guardians of Peace—is scheduled for publication in 2010.
