Welcome to life on a different planet! And by "different planet", of course, we don't mean Mars or Saturn or even Betelgeuse 5. We mean Earth which is turning into a different and less familiar planet before our very eyes because of climate change. This book is your field guide to life on this new version of Earth. It gives you the information you need to understand what's happening and to adapt to a new environment, it empowers you to take action that will change the behaviors that got us into this mess and it guides you in ways to imagine and realize a new world that is better than the one you are inheriting. It's a big job. Let's get started. Published by Home Planet Books through Onion River Press.

Credible, compelling, chilling...The night before Michael Boylen, a cyber-security expert, leaves home for a month on assignment, Katherine - his wife of almost 20 years - informs him she is no longer in love with him.Emotionally blindsided, he begins his trip to France and meets a woman on the plane who draws him into a world where nothing is quite what it appears to be.Set in the heart of Paris during the Holiday season, this novel explores the timeless issues of trust vs. deceit, sex vs. love, and empathy vs. fanaticism in a way that is remarkably compelling and credible.The plot winds its way to an ending that will surprise and not disappoint, for it will leave you thinking about the blind spots in your own perceptions, and the illusion of normalcy that belies the everyday reality of our complex and unpredictable world.

"Mooreville," is the story of Anne Commire's grandfather's family during Prohibition and the Depression. George Moore was first a barber and Justice of the Peace, then Chief of Police in Ecorse, Michigan, directly across the Detroit River from Windsor, Ontario. Over 80% of the illegal beer and liquor that entered the United States from Canada came directly into his town. How does George enforce the law among friends when bootlegging is one of the only jobs available to feed a family, and his own son may be involved? And, as Ecorse experiences gangland shootings, bombings, and mysterious murders, is Chief Moore himself becoming a target of the Black Legion, a little-known Klan-like organization which threatens and kills throughout Ohio and Michigan? After their mother dies a lingering death from tuberculosis, how do George's six daughters cope when he marries the controlling schoolteacher whom they all dislike? This, just when their father is preoccupied with crimes making the daily newspapers? Often hilarious, occasionally tragic, all of the events are true; exhaustively researched to accurately reflect the era, Commire's wit and delicious language bring this story to life.

"A masterful piece of work! It is a story that ought not to be forgotten and I am very glad Dunn has been so diligent and determined to bring it to light" --JEFFREY AMESTOY, former Attorney General and retired Chief Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court.
"Breach of Trust is an important book, because today so little is known about Judge Wheel and the lessons to be learned from her reign. An excellent contribution to Vermont judicial history, Well-written and entertaining, "Breach of Trust" is a must read for Vermont attorneys and those concerned about our system of justice." --JAMES MORSE, retired Vermont Supreme Court Justice.
Voted the number one Vermont news story for 1987, Breach of Trust chronicles the ethics scandal that shook the roots of the Vermont judiciary in the mid-1980s. The scandal led to Chittenden County Assistant Judge Jane Wheel becoming the first and only Vermont judge ever charged with a criminal felony. It also led to unprecedented charges of ethical misconduct against three highly respected Vermont Supreme Court justices, making it the first time a justice was charged with a violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct.
Breach of Trust follows the political and legal struggles as Judge Wheel found herself being investigated for misusing public funds, an investigation she charged was "politically motivated," and likened to the "Salem Witch trials." Charged criminally, Judge Wheel, her attorneys and the attorney general face off in an epic, month-long criminal trial involving testimony from Supreme Court justices, judges, politicians and court employees. At the same time, the state's Judicial Conduct Board formerly charged Supreme Court Justices Hill, Hayes and Gibson with twenty-four violations of judicial ethics. All of the allegations of misconduct centered on the justices' close personal relationship with Judge Wheel, and actions they took to protect her during the investigation, culminating in an unprecedented three-week ethics trial before the Judicial Conduct Board.

Also Plays is a memoir of Karl Lindholm's forty years at Middlebury College as a master jack-of-all-trades -- a dean in student affairs, a member of the faculty, a husband, father, friend, colleague, townsman. It is a "view from the ground," presented in over 100 short vignettes, anecdotes: stories that range from loving and even sentimental portraits of former classmates and colleagues to very funny experiences and very sad ones too. Along the way, it tells the story, a story, of Middlebury College in the past half-century.
