Cold-Blooded Kindness
In this searing exploration of deadly codependency, the author takes the reader on a spellbinding voyage of discovery that examines the questions: Are some people naturally too caring? Is caring sometimes a mask for darker motives? Can science help us understand how our concerns for others can hurt everything we hold dear? This gripping story brings extraordinary insight to our deepest questions. Is kindness always the right answer? Is kindness always what it seems?
Deadly Force, Colonialism, and the Rule of Law
In post-colonial countries such as Guyana, the legacy of colonialism and its influence on policing and society is of crucial significance in developing an explanation for police violence and police-caused homicide.

Sweet Dreams
Grace is a registered nurse with moxie. To date, she’s survived a divorce, a mastectomy, and a Toni home perm. Two children and two exasperating dogs keep her busy when she’s not working in the recovery room at St. Erik’s hospital. One of Grace’s co-workers is a nurse anesthetist named Dakota Kohler. Dakota has his own history of adversity and his own health issue. Like millions of middle-aged men, he deals with erectile dysfunction. Dakota would love the chance to know Grace on a personal level. Just as their platonic relationship turns romantic, however, Grace and Dakota land in the middle of a wrongful death suit and allegations of child abuse. Together they must navigate issues of personal trust, legal challenges, and bodies that have – no pun toward Dakota – let them down. Often funny and always warm, Sweet Dreams is the story of grown-ups growing more.
