In a spellbinding new thriller, New York Times bestselling author Perri O’Shaughnessy plunges the audacious yet all-too-human Nina Reilly back into the center of a murderous family game and reawakens a very real nightmare she had every reason to believe was dead…and buried. In addition to coping with her demanding, sometimes creepy clients, Nina Reilly is dealing with prickly personal issues involving her sixteen-year-old son, Bob, his estranged father, and her investigator, confidante, and sometimes lover, Paul van Wagoner. Then, in walks disaster. The millionaire owner of a Tahoe ski resort, Philip Strong, is the father of Jim Strong: a sociopath who devastated many innocent lives, including Nina’s when she defended Jim again charges of murder two years earlier. He shattered her life, then vanished. Paul van Wagoner made sure of that. Now in negotiations to sell his ski resort, Philip has received a letter purportedly from his fugitive son in extradition-free Brazil, demanding his share of the profits. Nina is certain it’s a con, but to prove that means exposing the secrets of someone very close to her. But when two local women are murdered, Nina begins to question their links to her client and the truth about Jim Strong’s sudden disappearance. As Nina’s worst fears flood back, with time running out, she’s about to discover that the dreams of the dead can still destroy the living. With its breakneck pace, pulsing human drama, and serpentine twists, Dreams of the Dead once again establishes why O’Shaughnessy has been hailed as “a master of the legal thriller” (Vincent Bugliosi).

I was a man unaware that his ignorance of others and his need for emotional nutrition was seriously affecting his social life, his health and much, much more. I approached intimate situations the way most men do, by keeping people at arm's length, reinforcing my phobias and building walls around me. After my divorce, I discovered the online dating scene. I found it so appalling that I was forced to reconsider who I was and what I really believed in. I looked in the mirror and did not like the man I saw looking back at me so I made a change. I confronted my fears head-on through an education in the art of Argentine Tango dancing. I applied a homeopathic remedy to an age-old problem; I treated a poison with a stronger but diluted poison. I found that the key to being comfortable in the close proximity of another person, a woman, was to learn how to move with her in sync with the music. To do this I needed to realize that a woman was biologically designed to scramble my radar and that that was okay. I learned that, in order for me to be at ease around the opposite sex, I needed to make them feel at ease around me. Eventually I realized this paradigm could be applied to everyone, not just women. My education has been a continuing journey into a fantastic universe, that of another person, that each person saw the world differently and, if I allowed myself to relax and see this truth, my life would be better for doing so. I had much work to do and a lot of walls to tear down but I did it and I am extremely grateful that I did. I believe that once wisdom has been acquired, it is the student's responsibility to share it with the world and so it is that I present my work. I strongly believe that what I have discovered is essential knowledge for men to carry with them as mankind makes its way into the future. As we explore space and the planet becomes more crowded, us men are going to have to find a way to get along with the opposite sex and other men in a way that doesn't result in the sadness, anger and violence to which we are prone. 'Can we all get along' is the problem; tango is the answer and the answer is 'yes' if we try. Tango is an attempt to choreograph a song simultaneously with a partner. The attempt is all that matters, there is no failure if you try. Read my book. I am confident you will learn something and the world will be a better place for you having done so.
How do you contend with a wild and wailing cat that is stalking your neighborhood? You invite her in, of course. At least, that is what Perri Nash ultimately found herself doing during a bitter December in Delaware. When a seemingly feral feline kept reappearing in furtive search for food and shelter, Perri discovered that being a gracious host can be a daunting and life-changing experience. Phanny, Phantom of the Attic is the uplifting, incredible account of how patience and perseverance worked to socialize the most unlikely of animals. When Nash determined that this troublesome lurk-about was desperately trying to save herself and her kitten, the mission was launched. What started as an outreach to animal rescue experts evolved into a painstaking, six-month odyssey to gain the confidence of a very leery cat, and transform the lives of her and her kitten from harsh homelessness to domestic bliss. Young adults and animal lovers of every stripe will find a moving and fascinating foray into the power of stick-to-it-ness, which in the end enriched the lives of both cat and keeper. Join Nash on a journey that was often as hair-raising as it was furry

What Men Are Feeling: Why Women Refuse to Believe It's True

In order to understand a man's feelings it is important to understand the situations in which these feelings occurred. For this book I use my mid-life crisis as the tool to provide you, the reader, an insight to why a man feels what he feels and why he keeps those feelings to himself.A mid-life crisis is a tangent to your circle of life. I was an outdoorsman raising two daughters. I could see one day they would leave the nest and my life would seem empty if I didn't find a way to fill it back up again once they were on their own. Honestly, I thought birding would be the activity that would consume me but I was wrong, it was dancing.Learning to dance was a long and hard journey, the end of which I have not reached. It is an education in balance, self-control, self-awareness and the opposite sex. I am a nervous person and I think most people are though some are better at hiding it than others. I got stage fright simply thinking about asking a woman to join me on the dance floor. If I didn't overcome that fear I was destined to become a monk and might as well strap on my hiking boots, put on my backpack and crawl into a cave somewhere in the hills. In an effort to understand my fear I began writing down what I was feeling........ Tango has been described as the three minute love affair. To get your partner to fall in love with you in such a short period of time is a trick that takes years to learn. To get there I needed to recognize that I was a complex individual but not nearly as complex as the woman I was holding close to me, her chest to my chest, her forehead resting upon my cheek. When I say, "love," I don't mean real love or physical love. The love I am talking about is the comfort of being in a loving relationship; it is a deep trust between strangers; it is a love without fear of reprisal from your partner that allows two people to move together in harmony to the music. It is two people working as a team to navigate a crowded dance floor while simultaneously choreographing dance steps to the rhythms and melodies of tango music. It is a love that is unique to tango and lasts only as long as the music is playing.I soon came to realize that a woman is a fantastic machine configured to reveal things about me that I never knew. This incredible creature is filled with thousands, maybe millions, of sensors that enable her to tune in to everything I am feeling when we embrace. Each woman reacted to my moods with one of her own that was equal or greater to mine. If I was afraid, so was she. If I was relaxed, so was she. When I lost my balance she would grab me for support.....I have invested a great deal of effort into the composition of my words so that they may flow effortlessly into your brain. I strive for the writer's version of the tango connection with each reader who picks up my book. Let me tell you, "I love you," and hope that you will believe it for the time you spend reading the words I have arranged so carefully, just for you.What follows is not meant to be a tango lesson. If however, you learn something about this strange dance consider it a bonus.

Mary Douglas’s innovative explanations for styles of human thought and for the dynamics of institutional change have furnished a distinctive and powerful theory of how conflicts are managed, yet her work remains astonishingly poorly appreciated in social science disciplines. This volume introduces Douglas’s theories, and outlines the ways in which her work is of continuing importance for the future of the social sciences. Mary Douglas: Understanding Human Thought and Conflict shows how Douglas laid out the agenda for revitalizing social science by reworking Durkheim’s legacy for today, and reviews the growing body of research across the social sciences which has used, tested or developed her approach.

Hurt people will hurt people. Thoughts of insecurity, self-degradation and inferiority, if allowed to creep into the heart, gives breeding ground to actions of jealousy and envy. Maddox Starks and Gentry Morgan, reared and raised in the same neighborhood, travel two different roads to find the same thing, Love. Time is wasted, and decisions are made that set these two on a course that forces them to collide with chaos. Each one travels a road laced with bruised egos, bad decisions and broken hearts only to find out that they never had to go far to receive the very thing they fought so hard to find. In the prequel to Perri Sullivan's suspense filled novel, Webb of Betrayal, we find out how Gentry and Maddox grew to be the powerful and loving forces that we grew to love. In the pages of Flawed Diamond you'll find that every mistake and character flaw that you possess is a priceless journey worth more than all the diamonds in the world.
