Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has reorganized existing methods of exchange, turning comparatively marginal technologies into the new normal. Multipoint videoconferencing in particular has become a favored means for web-based forms of remote communication and collaboration without physical copresence. Taking the recent mainstreaming of videoconferencing as its point of departure, this anthology examines the complex mediality of this new form of social interaction. Connecting theoretical reflection with material case studies, the contributors question practices, politics and aesthetics of videoconferencing and the specific meanings it acquires in different historical, cultural and social contexts.

    Don't Tempt Fate 
    Book 11 of the Cloverleah Pack series.  
    Pack enforcer, Marius Reef has a lot on his mind. Life in Cloverleah has been quiet for months; giving him too much time to think. He still suffers nightmares from his father's abuse decades ago and now his brothers are mated, he is struggling to find and keep his place in the pack. Determined to be useful, his waking hours are spent patrolling the pack's territory but at night his dreams are haunted by a hunky blond, so perfect he couldn't exist in real life.  
    As the Battle Lord for his people, Cathair is used to being sent from the elven realm to dispel injustices found on many realms including earth. Guided by the Seers, he's never questioned his assignments before. But when his father, the High Elder insists he must take a message to a tiny pack in the middle of nowhere, and actually stay with them, he puts up a token protest. His place was on the elven realm, wasn't it? 
    Prophecies and kidnappings, the evil that stalks Cloverleah is getting closer and all will be affected. Plagued with troubles and misunderstandings on both realms, Marius and Cathair must forge a bond or the whole pack could be lost. But when trouble comes from one of their own, the two men reach a crossroads. Will they choose the right path or will the fate of the Cloverleah pack be doomed? 
    This is an M/M story that includes some violence, references to past abuse and a scene of attempted rape (not between MCs). Like all of my books, it has an HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger. However, the epilogue sets the scene for the next book in the series.   
    This book is part of a series and while this story is based on one couple and is complete in itself; to appreciate the over-arching story line and the stories behind the secondary characters, reading the previous books in order is advised.

    Everyone occasionally experiences natural anger emotions. It’s a typical response to feeling insecure or frustrated and can take different forms, from mild annoyance to outright aggression. In some circumstances, it is advantageous because it gives people motivation and energy to solve problems. 
    Not controlling anger can harm relationships, work performance, and general health and well-being. For parents, controlling their anger can be particularly challenging. They must deal with their emotions and navigate their children’s emotional terrain. 
    Children are constantly learning and developing, frequently testing limits and pushing boundaries. So, it’s natural for parents to become frustrated and angry, but it’s critical to model healthy emotional management for our children. 
    Anger management isn’t about completely suppressing or eliminating your anger. It is about learning to recognize and manage your anger healthily so it does not spiral out of control and harm you or those around you. This book offers methods and tactics to succeed in your anger management journey

    The Roots of Military Science: Understanding the Intersection of Conflict, Mental Health and Wellness is about the psychology of conflict, the scars conflict leaves behind, and the generational healing that must follow. It is a plea for empathy, a call to learn from the past, and an optimistic blueprint for a future where the pen is mightier than the sword. The core of this narrative is formed by author Dr. Christina Rahm’s journey through healthcare and environmental stewardship amid the chaos of war and her search for peace. For Christina, the battlefield is both an external reality and an internal contemplation; it is the ground she walks on in countries torn by conflict, and the ethical landscape she navigates as a scientist committed to the preservation of life. 
    Within the pages of The Roots of Military Science lies a reflection, a confluence of critical thought, and a rigorous exploration of military science through the lens of clinical research. Readers will learn how warfare is used as a calculated tool for political force and provocation for economic gain. Complete with scientific research on the principles behind military strategy, tactical defense, attacks, planning, and coordination, The Roots of Military Science provides poignant insight into the psychological, philosophical, and scientific aspects of war which inevitably produces negative biological outcomes. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the intersection of conflict, mental health, wellnesses, and impairment behind theories of military science.
