Robin

The last thing Robin wants is to rely on the man who left him at the altar, but when he has no one else to turn to, he runs to Green Hill—and Billy. They were friends before, and he hopes he can forgive Billy and heal from the heartache, especially since he has no intention of leaving now that he’s here. Miko’s only nineteen, way too young to meet his mate, yet there he is. Miko isn’t sure what to do with a mate, but he’s willing to give it a chance. He knows he did the right thing when the grandparents he’s never met reach out to him. They want to get to know him, but there’s a reason Miko’s father left them behind, and even though they insist they’ve changed, it sounds too good to be true. And maybe it is. But Robin is there to support Miko every step of the way, so maybe there’s some truth in the belief that mates find each other when they do for a reason.

Sober Reflections

Alcohol policies reflect conflicting ideological, social, health, and commercial agendas. Sober Reflections describes the development of alcohol policies at the national level and in Alberta, Quebec, and Ontario between 1980 and 2000. Using qualitative research methods, the essays examine the roles of key players, including governments, NGOs, public health advocates, and representatives of the alcohol industry. The contributors base their incisive papers on interviews with representatives from public health and the government, lobbyists, researchers, media, and those in the alcohol industries, as well as on an analysis of government documents, newspaper accounts, and official statistics.

The Politics of Alcoholism

The Politics of Alcoholism can be read on one level as a fascinating history of the evolving politics of what this country is doing about “the problem of alcoholism.” Not so long ago that problem was scarcely larger than a human hand against the horizon, but now it makes good, regular newspaper copy. This text follows through on the much-raised question of how a social problem becomes defined as a large scale problem, when the same phenomenon x Preface now labeled as “a problem” was not so named before. What is offered here is a direct attack on the rise into public visibility of something previously the concern of a relatively small number of people and groups, and which gets defined along the way as a problem for the whole nation. The second issue addressed is closer to the political scientist’s traditional interest, namely the politics of handling public issues: research and theorizing here usually focus on interest groups, lobbying, public debate, legislative rights, constituencies, and so on.

Renaissance 2.0

Over the course of five books, an ordinary detective gets swept up in a new renaissance age originating in Berkeley, Ca, finding himself no less transformed than the colorful characters he was meant to police. The five book series is collected here under one cover for the first time. The story, set in a parallel timeline, is for lovers of genre-busting mysteries and for readers who can embrace a mix of science-based thriller, sci-fi, urban and paranormal fantasy, mixed in with the sleuthing. Robin, the story's hero, undergoes a sex change early in the series, classifying this also as LGBTQ+ fiction. Fans of Richard Bard’s Brainrush series should also enjoy the contest going on between the “naturals” who wish to become meta-human with ancient practices and the ones all too willing to embrace new technologies to the same ends. Because the story arc is continuous from book 1, readers will want to read the books in order. It is only when Robin starts coming into all her powers, in the second half of the series' story arc, that supernatural powers begin to emerge.

But it's all about to end. High Tide shows one family's resolve, stamina, and tenacity in developing one of America's most important industries. The story of this visionary generation will engage those who believe in courage, in living their dreams, and in self-determination-to look the unknown in the face and not flinch.

Anonymous Christians

This book explores the relationship of clergy to Twelve Step programs. Field research of pastors in the Florida Keys found that they are unsure if addiction is a disease or a sin, and whether the Twelve Steps are based on Christianity. Lessons learned include the validity of both traditional Twelve Step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Christ-centered programs such as Celebrate Recovery, the coherence of sin and disease explanations of addiction, and the significance of modern addiction theory. The specific outcome of this study is the development of a course syllabus for clergy on addiction recovery through Twelve Step philosophy.
