(former TAMIU Literature

professor) with teaching him

structure.

Upon receiving a letter of

approval from the publisher,

he states that his first thoughts

are to take a conservative and

cautiously optimistic outlook

to the good news.

Yes, Frank is an optimist.

He has left the end of The

Most Logical Explanation open

to take the readers and

Samantha on additional

discoveries. He has also

started writing another book.

And, while the genre of

vampires may be tired for

some, his perspective takes a

darker look at the origins of

vampires from a modern

perspective that stray from

old myths and delve into

unasked questions.

Debut novelist Frank

Sarabia ’96 ’01 delivers a paranormal fictional account

of a teen, Samantha Sanchez. The Most Logical Explanation is

a book that the entire family can enjoy with the right allure

of intrigue for the young juxtaposed with depth and layers for more advanced

readers. Frank is a psychology major,

a sociologist by profession and has always been fascinated with the

paranormal, horror and

vampires.

His journey into writing

began a little over a year ago with a short story. As an avid

reader who grew up in home promoting literacy, he

encouraged his 12 year old daughter Abigail to take a read.

Initially, she was scared, yet she kept flipping the pages and

sped through the story quickly.

The biggest challenge about

writing he explained, was time.

Finally, he decided to get

started and already familiar

with the subject matter and his

cultural heritage, he wrote

what he knew about.

Some will find the cultural

references delightful amusing

… the Sanchez family gathers

around carne asadas and also

discusses El Cucuy [the

boogeyman].

However, he did research

character development and

There’s a ghost in Samantha’s house, and she is the only one who can do anything

about it. The only trouble is, she doesn’t believe in ghosts.

Samantha Sanchez is an intelligent, responsible, and sensible thirteen-year-old girl. She

is not one to believe in superstitious or supernatural things. She believes that, no matter

how strange things may seem, there is always a logical, rational explanation for

everything. But when her family moved into a new home, she found herself in the middle

of a supernatural mystery that even she could not explain away. Strange noises in the

attic and strange dreams started her on a journey of self-discovery that would force her

to come to terms with the reality of supernatural forces as well as her own unique

abilities in order to find the most logical explanation. — Presented by PublishAmerica

Frank’s Sarabia’s Book Synopsis: The Most Logical Explanation

TAMIU’s interim Athletics Director Claudio Arias has announced that

David Beaver has been hired to head up women’s basketball.

Beaver comes to TAMIU from Sam Houston State University (NCAA

Division 1) where he served as top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator

for the past two seasons. He helped recruit two of the top classes in school

history, with those classes featuring two top-50 and four top-80 students-

athletes from the State of Texas and one top-35 athlete from Oklahoma.

Beaver is a native of Arlington, TX where he attended Lamar High School.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in music education from Northwestern State

(LA) in 1999, and his master’s degree in sports management from the

University of Oklahoma in 2003.

―E-mail for Life‖ is upgrading services off-site through a

Microsoft-developed e-mail service, Live@edu With alumni and

student users now over 13,000, services and capabilities needed to

be expanded.

The primary attraction for E-mail for Life 3.0 is a dramatic

increase in storage capacity, while a range of other benefits add

robust features such as a 5-gigabyte capacity that does not delete.

This is a dramatic increase and provides students and alumni with

great, reliable storage. The improved service will include

messaging, chat, Windows Live Spaces, SharedView and a new Sky

Drive that functions as a virtual memory stick. The University’s

aggressive security measures to protect data and identity theft are

also present with the Microsoft-based E-mail Service. Other good

news is that the spam and virus filtering and identity encryption

protections in place are formidable and represent some of the best the industry offers and are designed to keep our users safe online

and control unwanted marketing.

The new ―E-mail for Life 3.0‖ requires student and alumni

transition via a web-based entry point, https://dusty.tamiu.edu/ to

sign up and move their existing accounts over to the new System.

E-mail addresses remain the same and passwords can be retained

or reset. Alumni will see the address change to

username@dusty.tamiu.edu from username@students.tamiu.edu

After transitioning your account , your old e-mail address will

forward emails to the new address till the end of March 2010.
