Hop in the car and ride along on a bizarre and funny cross-country road trip with one highly dysfunctional family. On this trip, the main character, an emotionally detached child prodigy, encounters a quirky cast of characters including a mobster uncle, a channeling aunt, a Native American healer, and a depressed punker who has read The Bell Jar five times. But none of the characters found on the trip are as odd as the protagonist’s own immediate family. There are many lessons along the way. The most important being that wherever there is motion, there is bound to be friction. And within this lies the secret to wisdom and the strength to break free.

Is it possible that some women actually help to contribute to their own victimization of sexual harassment? Controversial and eye-opening, this book will explore the personal and social causes and solutions surrounding the problems of sexual harassment. Based on the surprising findings of the author’s research, workshops, seminars, and consultations with victims of sexual harassment, this book offers evidence demonstrating how when women accept societal definitions about what is "appropriate feminine behavior," they may actually adopt beliefs and behaviors that help to contribute and perpetuate their own victimization.

This book includes insights about:

-Why some women are prone to take on the "victim role"

-Why victims of sexual harassment are more often Tolerance-Seekers rather than Justice-Seekers

-How a woman's "anger rules" can increase her vulnerability for becoming a victim of sexual harassment

-How attending to an "imaginary audience" can be very dangerous for potential victims

-Why some women have an increased vulnerability for being victimized because they suffer from the

"Rapunzel Dilemma"

-What "victim signals" are, and how they can contribute to sexual harassment

-Why some women are seen as "safe targets" by the sexual harasser

-What the "Caretaker Phenomenon" is, and how it can increase a woman's chances for being sexually-harassed

A key focus of the book is to offer important strategies and practical tools for women to gain personal control and empowerment in their personal and professional lives. These techniques are designed to help readers stop perpetuating the beliefs and behaviors that create, provoke and perpetuate vulnerability to sexual harassment.

What happened to us? And, did the trauma from all those bad illustrations in The Joy of Sex have anything to do with it?

Indulge yourself in this surprisingly revealing, hilarious, painfully insightful, and excruciatingly unforgiving look back at our shared journey from free drugs, Billy Jack, 8-track tapes, elephant bells and going bra-less, to our national obsession with cell phones, credit cards, waxed genitalia, plastic surgery and male-enhancement pills. This is the story of one person’s private journey through a very public and wild collective life experience. If you didn’t live it, you will wish you had.

Higher Intelligence is a mystery that takes on the hot topic of cloning in a science fiction setting…it is a story of "first contact" and interplanetary warfare, and an allegory about our own human arrogance.

Lou Keyes lives on Earth in the near future. His father is a famous scientist, a pioneer in several areas including human cloning, a practice now outlawed. Lou works on programs for the government that translate satellite images into massive databases, tracking the movements of all citizens. Interspersed with Lou’s story on Earth is his doomed mission to the new planet, Tavoutia. When humans meet their first alien life form, tragic misunderstandings spiral out of control until both decide to eradicate the other. The novel imagines a future where aliens turn out to be truly "alien," and where whatever we cannot understand, we assume is inferior.
