Dark Angel
Aaron Hemingway, a former Denver cop who was quietly drummed out of the department when he became too immersed in his role as an undercover narcotics operative, has settled in to a dead-end job as a reporter for the Jack Springs Mountain Miner newspaper. Despite the tensions between old time residents - a slumgullion stew of miners, loggers, cowboys, retired drug dealers, hippies, near-do-wells and other refugees from the 60s - and newcomers looking for their own little piece of paradise, things are relatively calm until a high-rolling financier proposes a massive gold mine above the town. Then an anti-mine activist is murdered, and her body is dropped on the newspaper's front porch. With a cast of characters who make Jamie Harrison's Blue Deer, Montana seem like a rest home for burned-out Up With People singers and dancers, things in Jack Springs begin to deteriorate rapidly. When someone from Aaron's past shows up unexpectedly, the situation also becomes personal, and much more complicated. Dark Angel is a tale of murder and intrigue set against the tensions embracing the New West.

Insider's Guide to Egg Donation
In their search for alternative means for building a family, those who face infertility turn to the nearly 500 reproductive specialty clinics across the United States. While egg donors enter into the picture for a variety of reasons, every reason has the same desired result: a family to call one’s own. Same-sex and single-by-choice parents are more prevalent than ever in the fertility industry, and there is no definitive, up-to-date guide to help families of all types approach egg donation, especially these niche groups. Resources are fragmented, true regardless of the family structure. The Insider's Guide to Egg Donation is the first how-to-handbook that helps families of all types navigate the less talked about but widely practiced egg donor landscape with a warm and friendly tone, giving those in search of a different kind of stork the answers and information they need as they begin to research family-building options.

After Nationalism
Nationalism is on the rise across the Western world, serving as a rallying cry for voters angry at the unacknowledged failures of globalization that has dominated politics and economics since the end of the Cold War. In After Nationalism, Samuel Goldman trains a sympathetic but skeptical eye on the trend, highlighting the deep challenges that face any contemporary effort to revive social cohesion at the national level.
