The Kindertransport
A timely study of the effects of family separation on child refugees, using newly discovered archival sources from the WWII era: “Highly recommended.” —Choice The Kindertransport—an organized effort to extract children living under the threat of Nazism—lives in the popular memory as well as in literature as a straightforward act of rescue and salvation, but these celebratory accounts leave little room for a deeper, more complex analysis. This volume reveals that in fact many children experienced difficulties with settlement: they were treated inconsistently by refugee agencies, their parents had complicated reasons for giving them up, and their caregivers had a variety of motives f...
Gone to Pot
After losing her job and learning she might also lose her house because of a bad investment, Jess, a fiercely independent and hilariously wry BC grandma, resorts to growing pot in her basement to make ends meet. She then has to juggle her public life as a grandmother and member of the town’s senior women’s group – The Company of Crones – with her secret life as a pot grower. The unusual characters she meets along the way include Swan, the enigmatic young woman who introduces her to the grower’s world, and Marcus, the socially awkward “gardener” who shows her the tricks of the trade. Both of her new young friends are more than they appear, and Jess’ adventures in pot growing break down barriers in both her old and new circles. The delightful outcome of an almost legitimate business leaves Jess and her associates flushed with success.

As the service ends, the occupants of the black limousines claim to be working for the government and snatch away the body. Jennifer is devastated and can't understand why anyone would do such a thing. After visiting the police, her Member of Parliament, and Whitehall, she still has no answers.

On the flight there, she meets Reg, a young police officer on his way to begin a position with Hong Kong government. Reg is captivated by Jennifer and asks her out, and the two become romantically involved. Reg wants to help Jennifer but she declines. Her investigation leaves her physically assaulted, robbed, shot at and nearly drowned. Jennifer finally accepts Reg's offer of help, but will the answers bring comfort or make things worse?

Mary Lou's Brew
When Mary Lou stirs up her brew, she spells trouble for the Dean of the Academy of Sophists: just one more problem when the future of the Academy is in jeopardy, faculty members vanish, an assistant causes a unique traffic jam, lab creatures escape, and a disenchanted junior professor tries to alter the Dean’s Gravity Quotient. Rooted in ancient Greek culture, the Dean’s Academy of Sophists contributes to humanity in its own whacky way, using ancient practices similar to witchcraft, but with a scientific basis. Although Sophistry and witchcraft parted ways in the fifteenth century, the Dean must defend the Academy against those who see these goings-on as decidedly witchy—with hilarious results. Mary Lou’s Brew is a humorous social and academic commentary for adults of all ages and is not to be taken seriously. It is written by a Yorkshire woman who knows her science and her brews.
The Stalker
The Stalker is an intriguing tale of abduction and struggle for survival. The obsession by one law enforcement officer to crack the case is complimented with teen romance and tragedy. The Novel has a compelling, complex plot, masterfully interwoven subplots, with plenty of mystery and something for readers of all genres. An unexpected final twist will leave readers to say to themselves, WHAT? The Author leaves her readers with one caveat, "The next time you are home, alone, or step into the shower, be sure to look over your shoulder for someone might be stalking you!"
