A Practical Arrangement
A Practical Arrangement is a life-affirming, bitter-sweet tale of an ordinary family life uncontrollably descending into despair, crime and impossible choices. A sobering narrative for our times of unrealistic and unattainable life expectations. When a nurturing boss leaves the biotech company Andy works for, he is left struggling with his jealous peers and the fear of onrushing redundancy. With finances stretched and a growing family to support, Andy is pushed to breaking point. Sneaking some samples of an untested depression medication into his bag one evening after work, Andy hopes the drug will help him to turn his life around. Instead, Andy falls into an abusive and life-changing affair with the headstrong paradox that is Janey Robins who trades her body for Andy’s intoxicating drug. A practical arrangement riven with self-interest and mutual deceit. But it is not only Janey who is interested in the drug as the police close in on the source of a life-threatening new drug which has suddenly appeared on the streets. Will Andy be able to turn things around, or have the choices he has made ruin his family life and career beyond redemption?
Change Of Heart
Karen is content with her peaceful, predictable life in a small northwestern Canadian mountain town. Life has been unfolding just as she planned . . . until suddenly, it isn’t. One day, when she goes to wake her daughter, she finds her unconscious. The cat and dog are acting strange. She calls 911, but during the call, they get disconnected. When the dispatcher calls back, her daughter answers, explaining that her mother has now fallen unconscious. Though she will eventually be diagnosed as having had a heart attack, the many strange things unfolding around her and her family thereafter suggest a much stranger explanation. Amidst building a relationship with the daughters of the woman she shares her hospital room with, her husband’s scandalous affair with his boss’s wife, and the repeated visits of an overly zealous police officer, a far more sinister story begins to reveal itself—and far more supernatural. Full of tragedy, magic, and love, Change of Heart is sure to prove a treasured addition to the bookshelves of anyone interested in stories of mystery, suspense, and the paranormal.

Biology and the Mechanics of the Wave-Swept Environment
This text introduces and draws together pertinent aspects of fluid dynamics, physical oceanography, solid mechanics, and organismal biology to provide a much-needed set of tools for quantitatively examining the biological effects of ocean waves. "Nowhere on earth does water move as violently as on wave-swept coasts," writes the author, "and every breaker that comes pounding on the shore places large hydrodynamic forces on the organisms resident there." Yet wave-swept coral reefs and rocky shores are home to some of the world's most diverse assemblages of plants and animals, and scientists have chosen these environments to carry out much of the recent experimental work in community structure ...
