Happy Hello Dear Readers!

At long last I have had some free time to enjoy this beautiful summer and all that it entails: sitting on the back porch fully feeling the breeze brushing my face and really seeing the flowers dancing in the sun.

As you know, Abuse: An Encyclopedia of Causes, Consequences, and Treatments (Greenwood) was published in late April and if you’d like to read a sample, Amazon has a “Look inside feature” at http://www.amazon.com/Abuse-Encyclopedia-Causes-Consequences-Treatments/dp/1610695143/ref=sr_1_10?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1400915145&sr=1-10&keywords=abuse+encyclopedia.

Sexual Assault in the U.S. Military: The Battle within America's Armed Forces (Praeger Security International) is in the production stage and will be published in December. So, I still have work to do. In August, I will receive and approve Praeger’s edited manuscript. In September, I will approve their first-pass pages. In October, internal company proofing continues after which the approved manuscript goes to the printer. Amazon has a cover photo at http://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Assault-U-S-Military-International/dp/1440833788/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1436904968&sr=1-1&refinements=p_27%3ARosemarie+Skaine.

Cheers!
