Seven years after the death of her husband in a fiery plane crash, Anna Kinnealy believes all the trauma and struggle she and her children have endured will be ended when he is declared legally dead. But there is murderous revenge on someone's agenda, a police investigation into their lives, and secrets slowly emerging that demand Anna dig into the past before they all become victims of greed and hatred. In a journey that takes her from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to the jungles of the Yucatan and back, Anna finds the courage she never thought she had, a betrayal so painful she can only put her head down and weep, depths of rage she never knew she could feel, and two men whose love for her completely changes her life.
In Crocodile Waters. Second Book of the Anna Kinnealy Series. When Anna Kinnealy returns to Mexico to recuperate from the attempts on her life and to continue her love affair with Ramon Aguilar, she believes all is going well. Sons Cory, Alex and AJ, and daughter Marnie, are involved in their own lives. However, unknown to Anna, there is an enemy who has her every move watched. Greed and jealousy fuel this enemy's vicious "business plan"-a plan of harassment carried out with near-psychotic vengeance through frightening and cruel attacks on those she loves most. Anna discovers the betrayal she experienced so far is only the beginning. One by one her children disappear, her mother dies under suspicious circumstances, and it takes all the courage Anna can muster to fight through grief, terror, and despair while she offers herself as bait and walks into the enemy's trap. Once again, Anna, aided by loyal friends, must find a deeper and deeper inner will to fight for those she loves. In Crocodile Waters is the second book in the Anna Kinnealy series. The first book is Betrayal by Serpent. The third, The Jaguar Hunts, was published in 2016..
THE JAGUAR HUNTS is Third Book in the Anna Kinnealy Series. Frightening and cruel choices confront Anna Kinnealy: let others help her children Alex, Cory and Marnie, in danger in London, or find and ransom her oldest son, AJ, in Mexico. Should she rely on others to search for him while she makes herself the focus of the publicity or search for him on her own? Anna becomes a pawn in a game played by an implacable enemy whose increasing control over the cartels masterminds her kidnapping from Mexico and forces her to return home to wait for the contact she is sure will come, a contact whom one enemy has hinted might be her former husband, believed to be long dead. Worse, under this extreme stress, Anna's heightened senses and unease increase, an experience which has her believing she is losing her mind. Anna's control over herself falls apart as death looms over friends and family. Betrayal by Serpent and In Crocodile Waters are the preceding books.
Union Booms and Busts takes a bird's eye view of the shifting fortunes of U.S. workers and their unions on the one hand, and employers and their organizations on the other. Using detailed data, this book analyses union density across 11 industries and 115 years, contrasting the organizing and union building successes and failures across decades. With attention to historical developments and the economic, political, and legal contexts of each period, it highlights workers' and their unions' actions, including strikes, union elections, and organizing strategies as well those of employers, who aimed to disrupt union organizing using legal maneuvers, workforce-based strategies, and race and gender divisions. By demonstrating how workers used strikes, elections, and other strategies to win power and employers used legal maneuvers, workforce-based strategies, and race and gender divisions to disrupt unions, the authors reveal data-driven truths about the ongoing history of unionization. Chapters follow time periods: the early unregulated period where unions took hold in only a handful of industries; the mid-century regulated period where strikes, elections, and union density grew across industries; and the later dis-regulated period where union trajectories diverged, with some industries seeing drastic decline and others holding steady. The book concludes by turning toward what might come next for workers and unions in America and provides access to on-line data for readers who want to take a closer look
