1560. One chronicle; two stories; three cities; four journeys. This is the second volume in the Borderer Chronicles series. Four men of dedication, motivated by their own devotion, take different journeys to the same city. A steadfast man, by way of siege; a noble man, by way of melancholia put aside for dalliance and duty; a godly man, by way of loss and self-discovery; and a vain and sinful man by way of guile. All travel to deal with a master of prominence; a devil within a guild of secrets. All four men will face the Devil, but who will be the man to defeat him, the steadfast man, the noble man, the godly man, or the sinful man? Who best could play the Devil's game and win? A sweeping adventure and mystery novel set against one of the trials of the Scottish Reformation, the Siege of Leith, and the intrigues within the commercial heart of Sixteenth Century Europe, Antwerp.

This book takes a fresh look at the well-worn topic of emotions and how they effect our lives and relationships. The message is simply stated but not patronizing, and based in theory and observations but not tediously boring. Both men and women will find the text realistic, fun, and understandable. And, it's quotes by George Carlin and references to John Muir's 1970's VW repair manual are a unique and interesting way to introduce what are sometimes seen as dull, sterile ideas. This is great primary reading for people wanting to look at their emotional lives in a more helpful, healthy manner.

'Seven reasons they have for risking life... not fealty, faith, nor fee, but reasons of their own and cause enough to die for.'On Solway Sand, set against the turmoil of sixteenth century Anglo/Scottish border conflict, is the third instalment of The Borderer Chronicles series. Jack Brownfield, a borderer, in a life not of his choosing, continues to travel a dangerous path not of his design. He seeks to escape the bonds that hold him. But ties, bound tightly, are never easy to break. This is a story of contrast and redemption, as seven seek salvation for a lonely Cumbrian village on a Solway shore.'There is a place, ethereal, where the elements of rock and sand slowly melt into the sea. A place to find in the morning, when the wind is stilled and tide receded. When God's breath sits over the water and clouds the distant hills of Dumfriesshire in blues of unnatural hue.'

Argues that opposition to adoption ostensibly based on the well-being of the child is often a smokescreen for protecting national pride. Concerns about the harm done by transracial adoption are largely inconsistent with empirical evidence. The book also argues that instead of trying to suppress market forces in international adoption, we should embrace them so they can be properly regulated.
