Описание: Bust a Move
It's moving day for Val. And, as usual, anything that can go wrong does--beginning with her new boyfriend, Tom. When he shows up at her doorstep with an unwelcome delivery, Val becomes the unwitting center of attention for a whole new world of weirdos.
Ones that could drag her into doing jail time.
Plagued with a hot cop on her tail and a mean one on her trail, Val is forced to turn to old friends and new ones in her attempt to point the finger of blame on somebody else. But when an unexpected witness identifies Val as the guilty party, it may be time to flush the punch bowl.
Who's the good cop? Who's the bad? And who's the dwarf in the Halloween mask?
Will a pair of falsies help Val stumble onto the truth? If not, she's got to rely on her itchy, oddball beach-bum friends if she's going to escape the fickle finger of fate.
Love your mysteries with a side of snide? The Val Fremden Midlife Meltdown Mysteries are for you! Get set for a wickedly witty slide down the social ladder with a surprising cast of unexpected misfits!

She's a lovable, bungling mess who's a bit older, a tad more jaded, and a ton more experienced in big-time failure. Life's been tough for Val. Still, she always manages to find her way with sardonic humor and an intrepid spirit. A gin and tonic now and then helps, too.
Life's a beach and then you die. If you're ready for a good laugh and a great mystery, check out Two Crazy. Funny Florida mysteries don't get any wackier-or truly heartfelt.

Описание: La Dolce Vita or Bust(The Stand-Alone Prequel to the Best-Selling Val Fremden Midlife Mystery Series!)
We've all dreamed of ditching everything and running off to another country -- but almost no one actually ever does.
Well, Val feels like she's almost no one. Invisible to her husband and dissatisfied with her life, deep in her soul Val yearns to be someone else.
Someone sexy. Someone happy.
So she buys a ticket and takes off to Italy. With only her favorite romance novel to guide her, Val's got her heart set on relaxation, romance and reinvention. But she soon finds out that handsome men, like life, have plans of their own.
In the race to rediscover herself, what awaits Val at the finish line may be a completely unexpected type of victory.... Will Val score a home run? Or will she just want to run home?
If you've ever dreamed of ditching your life and running off to Europe, now's your chance! Join Val on a roller-coaster ride through Europe that will leave you gasping! From gut-busting hilarity to gut-wrenching gaffs, finding yourself again is always worth the price of admission. Get your ticket now!
Absolute Zero is a full-length, stand-alone novel. It's also the funny, yet often heart-wrenching prequel to the hilarious Val Fremden Midlife Mystery Series.
Absolute Zero is not a mystery, per se. (Unless you count the mystery of why in the world we do the crazy things we do!) Instead, this novel is a satirical look at starting over after forty. Just like life, it's full of ups and downs - especially as told through the eyes of a sharp-witted, reluctantly redneck woman who's always played it safe - until now. Freedom comes at a great price for Val. Will it be worth it? Well, that's up to you....
Pick up a copy and come along for a tour of Italy, Germany, and the human heart.

Описание: It's Hammer Time!
Old habits die hard -- but old lounge chairs die harder.
Val knows she can't solve all the world's problems, so she's settled on two: smashing every tacky figurine on the planet...and ridding the universe of her boyfriend's hideous vinyl recliner.
During a neighborhood yard sale, the fate of Tom's beloved chair comes down to a wager. But what Val antes up in exchange proves hard to live without, and soon has her wrestling the demons she keeps locked in her closet - both literally and figuratively.
With an old nemesis breathing down her back and a dear friend missing in action, Val soon finds herself jonesing for more than ordinary justice.
Who'll win the battle of wills? Who'll lose? And who in the world is Sir Albert Snoggles, III?
Come along for the ride as Val's "Hammer of Justice" lays waste to atrocities of both the ceramic and non-ceramic kind -- and the gang learns that when you mess around with Karma, just who ends up dealing the final blow is anybody's guess.

Описание:
"My Bestfriend Browny" is a story of a little girl named Lulu who wishes she can take her dog with her everywhere and keep him forever. After recalling all of their memories together, she later on realizes that Browny is always with her, in her heart. This book was inspired by a 2-year old student of mine who was dealing with the loss of their family dog. Her parents and I searched for an age appropriate book about loss and we were unable to find one. This is why, when told to write a book for my grad school class, I was compelled to write a book that will help young children with their loss. My hope is that this book will serve its purpose by helping families and children with the loss or distancing of a loved one.

Описание: Most Definitely Contains Nuts
All Val Fremden wanted was a quiet holiday away from her oddball family.
But that just ain't gonna happen.
When Val and her boyfriend arrive at her mother's "country estate" in Hicksville, Florida, the annual family fruitcake competition is well underway. And there's more than a few fruits and nuts in the running.
But the biggest contest is between Val and her mom.
As their battle of wills heats up, unexpected ingredients get thrown into both women's batter. It may be time to call the law - or at least a referee.
Who will come out on top? Who will get their just desserts? And will Val's half-baked family turn out to be too much for Tom to handle, or will he rise to the occasion?
Going home for the holidays is a mixed bag for many. What Four celebrates the universal love-hate relationships we all have with our relatives. Even at the best of times, our families leave us teetering on the edge of pride and embarrassment. This double-edged sword cuts clean to the bone, exposing how far we've come -- and how far we have yet to go -- on our struggles to be our authentic selves.
If you like deeply flawed characters and laugh-out-loud situations, you'll love What Four. It's book four in Lashley's hilarious, irreverent Val Fremden Midlife Mystery series.

Описание: Researchers have been grappling with finding an adequate means of defining poverty since the nineteenth century, yet no universal consensus exists today. Much of the debate has been concerned with whether poverty should be defined in absolute or relative terms. Today, most countries use income as a measure of poverty, and the extent of poverty in a country is assessed on the basis of a poverty line, as is the case in Barbados. Human deprivation cannot be accurately portrayed purely by of a lack of financial resources; however, a variety of factors, including unemployment, violations of human rights, increased migration, weakening of family ties, and reduced social and political participation may combine to severely reduce the quality of living conditions for large sectors of Caribbean society. Corin Bailey, Jonathan Lashley and Christine Barrow propose the use of a more comprehensive measure of deprivation, one that takes into consideration the range of resources or assets necessary to maintain an acceptable standard of living. They argue that the absence of critical physical, human, social and environmental assets leaves individuals and groups vulnerable to social exclusion and they offer a framework that provides a unique contemporary approach to the study of poverty in the Caribbean. Rather than relying solely on statistical data, the authors use qualitative data in the form of testimony from the excluded to allow them to explain, in their own words, the realities of exclusion that they face and the manner in which the absence of the assets described leaves them vulnerable to deprivation. This use of mixed methodology includes a survey of living conditions as well as qualitative participatory poverty assessments designed to adequately capture the experience of exclusion in Barbados and an institutional assessment that seeks to determine what government and civil society organizations have done to reduce poverty. Rethinking Poverty is a refreshingly innovative analysis of poverty in the region.
