The Errant Ricochet: Max Raeburn's Legacy

And Other Tales of Suspense, Humor, and Fantasy

By: Paul Mark Tag

Before Paul Mark Tag discovered his niche writing thrillers, he honed his storytelling craft by penning short stories. This medley includes fourteen of Paul's favorites, written over a period of five years. Expect to experience a range of emotions as you page through this engaging and eclectic collection. You'll feel the trepidation of two boys delivering Christmas cookies to their scary neighbor in "The Curious Miss Crabtree." You'll wonder if six-year-old Mary's girlfriends-who visit at night!-are real or imaginary in "Mary's Secret." You'll recognize the conflict of feeling different in "A Matter of Honor," as an immigrant accepts his heritage. In "Double Exposure," you'll indulge in the curiosity and resolve of a spunky teenager who's been told she's always been too smart for her own good. Her instinct to investigate draws her into a neighborhood mystery. And "The Long Walk Home," at only 128 words long, will touch your deepest emotions. These stories, many previously published, will warm your heart, keep you on the edge of your seat, and make you cry. The book's crowning jewel, "The Errant Ricochet: Max Raeburn's Legacy," will induce you to do all three.

Do Fathers Matter?

What Science Is Telling Us About the Parent We've Overlooked

By: Paul Raeburn

In Do Fathers Matter? the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn overturns the many myths and stereotypes of fatherhood as he examines the latest scientific findings on the parent we've often overlooked. Drawing on research from neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, geneticists, and developmental psychologists, among others, Raeburn takes us through the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence and into adulthood--and the importance of the relationship between mothers and fathers. In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves."--www.Amazon.com.

Acquainted with the Night

A Parent's Quest to Understand Depression and Bipolar Disorder in His Children

By: Paul Raeburn

In the tradition of Kay Redfield Jamison’s An Unquiet Mind, Acquainted with the Night is a powerful memoir of one man’s struggle to deal with the adolescent depression and bipolar disorder of his son and his daughter. Seven years ago Paul Raeburn’s son, Alex, eleven, was admitted to a psychiatric hospital after leaving his fifth-grade classroom in an inexplicable rage. He was hospitalized three times over the next three years until he was finally diagnosed by a psychiatrist as someone exhibiting a clear-cut case of bipolar disorder. This ended a painful period of misdiagnosis and inappropriate drug therapy. Then Raeburn’s younger daughter, Alicia, twelve, was diagnosed as suffering from depression after episodes of self-mutilation and suicidal thoughts. She too was repeatedly admitted to psychiatric hospitals. All during this terrible, painful time, Raeburn’s marriage was disintegrating, and he had to ask what he and his wife might have done, unwittingly, to contribute to their children’s mental illness. And so, literally to save his children’s lives, he used all the resources available to him as a science reporter and writer to educate himself on their diseases and the various drugs and therapies available to help them return from a land of inner torment. In Paul Raeburn’s skilled hands, this memoir of a family stricken with the pain of depression and mania becomes a cathartic story that any reader can share, even as parents unlucky enough to be in a similar position will find it of immeasurable practical value in their own struggles with the child psychiatry establishment.

Q

A Novel

By: Paul Nigro

Q... a carefully guarded First Century manuscript, purporting to be witness to the life of Jesus, is stolen by a man who wants nothing more than to rid the world of the Christian faith!In 70 A.D., Ezra, a scribe, who was a witness to the life and teachings of Jesus, leaves his notes--now called Q--in the safekeeping of the Qumran Community. He once asked Jesus if he could become one of the Twelve--but was turned down. Q is hard to understand--and might just might raise as many questions of faith as it answers. A group of men, the Society of St. Matthew, determine that Q must be hidden from the world until it is better understood.But the Society is betrayed by one of its own members, and Q falls into the hands of a billionaire media mogul who plans to use Q as a tool to undermine confidence in Christian scripture and faith--an act that he believes will be his singular contribution to the world.The Society sends Jeremy Croft, who has the aristocratic bearing of an English Lord but who is actually a betty criminal, to steal Q back from this media baron. When Gigi Vaughn, a seminary student and a volunteer at a homeless shelter in Ft. Worth, Texas, discovers Croft injured in the alley behind the shelter, she, too, is drawn into a dangerous web of violence and intrigue.Only two questions remain: Who will ultimately get their hands on Q? And what does it mean to millions of people of faith?
