Baltimore, MD, April 27, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author Maurice Hicks, a licensed private investigator in the states of Nevada and Maryland who earned a master’s degree in management from Johns Hopkins University and a bachelor’s degree in criminology from the University of Maryland, has completed his most recent book, “Looking for Trouble”: a fascinating memoir detailing the author’s life journey from the dangers of living in the inner-city of Baltimore as a young boy to finding his calling in the police department.

Author Maurice Hicks is a decorated twenty-year Maryland law enforcement veteran who retired at the rank of lieutenant. He served as the lead investigator of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force for almost three years. Maurice is the recipient of numerous awards and commendations during his tenure in law enforcement in Baltimore City and Prince George’s County. Some of these accolades include two Chief’s Awards of Merit and a Veterans of Foreign Wars Award. Maurice has also worked at the University of Maryland Global Campus for over twenty years in various capacities, including adjunct associate professor, course chair, and peer mentor.

“We live in an era where people hear about violent crime so frequently that they often become desensitized to it,” writes Hicks. “Unfortunately, police officers do not have the luxury of turning the channel. Each violent incident has a profound effect on their physical and emotional well-being. These officers perform their jobs for extraordinarily little money and often with little recognition.

“Many of the officers will relive their nightmares for years to come. Police officers carry the heavy burden of bringing violent assailants to justice. No police department in the country can adequately compensate police officers and detectives for enduring these enormous responsibilities. I want readers to discover one aspect of police work: the impact of public service on our families.

“I commend all the men and women employed by state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies. These officers risk their lives daily to bring violent criminals to justice. The police profession represents a unique subculture that has a strong desire to protect its members. Like many other organizations, they employ good people and bad people. In writing this book, my goal is to provide a realistic look at the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the citizens, suspects, and officers I encountered during my first ten years in the law enforcement profession.”

Published by Fulton Books, Maurice Hicks’s book is a poignant and stirring tale that will take readers on a captivating journey as the author recounts his life’s path from humble beginnings to incredible success and fulfillment. Expertly paced and deeply personal, Hicks weaves a compelling memoir that readers won’t be able to put down and is sure to stay with them long after its conclusion.

Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “Looking for Trouble” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Ronald Harrell, P.E., has written a company history of Ryder Scott Company, the Houston-based petroleum consulting firm where he spent nearly four decades, rising to CEO and principal shareholder before retiring in 2006. The 294-page book, "Beneath the Surface: The Legacy of Ryder Scott Company," was published in late July through Page Publishing.

The company’s story begins in the mid-1930s when two Pennsylvania entrepreneurs, Harry Ryder and David Scott, created it to assist oil and gas producers in boosting yields from the Bradford field. When Bradford’s production fell, the enterprise pursued geographic expansion, establishing itself first in Wichita Falls before relocating to Houston, building a presence across Oklahoma and Texas along the way, per the press release.

Harrell joined the company in 1968 and eventually led its shift toward financial institutions and asset evaluation work, services used by both private operators and publicly traded energy companies. His credentials include a petroleum engineering qualification from Louisiana Tech and consulting work spanning various global regions, background the announcement points to as the source of the book’s technical and business detail.

According to the publisher, the book covers roughly eighty-five years of company history, including the people and decisions the announcement credits with turning a regional firm into a partner for major energy operations worldwide. "This book represents my effort to preserve the legacy of remarkable people and transformative work that defined Ryder Scott Company," Harrell said in the announcement, adding that he hopes readers come away with an appreciation for how the company adapted over time.

"Beneath the Surface" is available in bookstores and through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Page Publishing’s website.

Two new consciousness‑style paperbacks on Amazon, Author Ruby Dosanjh has released, expanding a growing body of atmospheric, introspective fiction. The titles — Likewise and Otherwise — explore the quiet emotional shifts that happen between two people who are paying attention.

The first release, Likewise, is a story about subtlety and mirrored feeling. It follows the second meeting that changes the first, the presence that fits too perfectly, and the kind of recognition that arrives without language. Described as “a quiet echo,” the book offers a soft, atmospheric experience for readers who sense emotional shifts before they can name them. Some connections linger — not because they’re forced to, but because they belong.

The second paperback, Otherwise, moves into deeper territory. It traces the moment reflection becomes truth, when two people think of each other without stopping and without softening it into something smaller. What begins as quiet awareness grows into something unmistakable — familiar, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. Otherwise follows the slow, honest shift from noticing to knowing, and the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending nothing is happening.

Together, the releases mark a clear evolution in Ruby Dosanjh’s one‑word consciousness series — stories that move gently, speak quietly, and leave a lasting imprint. Both paperbacks are now available worldwide on Amazon.
