Game Work
Video and computer games in their cultural contexts. As the popularity of computer games has exploded over the past decade, both scholars and game industry professionals have recognized the necessity of treating games less as frivolous entertainment and more as artifacts of culture worthy of political, social, economic, rhetorical, and aesthetic analysis.

Policing Prostitution
Policing Prostitution examines the complex world of commercial sex in the late Russian Empire.

Wretched
A town bully is murdered. More than 30 people see the killing. And then it gets really bad! Ken Plough was the scourge of tiny Oletha, Iowa for decades. He stole livestock, robbed houses and violated scores of women, then bullied and terrorized the townspeople into silence about his crimes. One day the dam breaks. In an explosion of violence, Plough is gunned down outside a local watering hole. The killing is witnessed by more than 30 people, but no one admits to seeing or knowing anything. Special Agents Eileen Prado and Ira Fisher arrive in Oletha and are greeted by a hostile citizenry and absolute silence. But this is only the beginning of what graduates into the most chilling three weeks of their careers. Although fiction, Wretched is based on true crimes that provide the foundation for the novel.
