The Court Reporter Always Gets the Last Word is the first book in a cozy mystery series that follows Addie Henkey, court reporter, through thrilling episodes of solving mysteries. Join this cast of quirky characters on their wild ride through the bedlam of the legal world. It's Halloween in Santa Monica, California, in 1996. Attorney Larceny is scamming Medi-Cal and getting away with it-until Addie starts reporting his depositions. Follow her as she discovers hidden clues, escapes a fiery car crash, unmasks the Lone Ranger, faces down a pair of alligators, and more. Addie is a fun-loving, spirited gal who loves her life; her family and friends; her cocktails; her runs on the beach; and her two Siamese cats, Law and Order. She lives in the upper flat of the Santa Monica home where she grew up, while her assistant and his husband live in the lower flat. Addie's seventy-three-year-old father is well-known around the world for his work as a consultant for aviation startup companies. Her mother is an elegant and humorous seventy-two-year-old retired Vogue model. Addie's assistant extraordinaire handles Addie's court reporting business; and his husband is the most sought-after hairdresser in SoCal. Addie's brother is in high demand as an attorney. Their sinister sister leads them down twisted paths, and one of Addie's friends owns the most popular escort service in Los Angeles. The love of Addie's life worked for the CIA and went missing in a sting operation. He was last seen entering a building that had just blown up. His death was never confirmed, and Addie has trouble accepting his disappearance. After four years she decides to check out online match-making services, which takes her on a whirlwind of comical dates. Look for Book 2 in the Court Reporter Mystery Series in September 2024.

Media coverage of the Supreme Court of Canada has emerged as a crucial factor not only for judges and journalists but also for the public. It's the media, after all, that decide which court rulings to cover and how. They translate highly complex judgments into concise and meaningful news stories that will appeal to, and be understood by, the general public. Thus, judges lose control of the message once they hand down decisions, and journalists have the last word. To show how the Supreme Court has fared under the media spotlight, Sauvageau, Schneiderman, and Taras examine a year in the life of the court and then focus on the media coverage of four high-profile decisions: the Marshall case, about Aboriginal rights; the Vriend case, about gay rights; the Quebec Secession Reference; and the Sharpe child pornography case. They explore the differences between television and newspaper coverage, national and regional reporting, and the French- and English-language media. They also describe how judges and journalists understand and interact with one another amid often-clashing legal and journalistic cultures, offering a rich and detailed account of the relationship between two of the most important institutions in Canadian life.

“Speaking in the Past Tense participates in an expanding critical dialogue on the writing of historical fiction, providing a series of reflections on the process from the perspective of those souls intrepid enough to step onto what is, practically by definition, contested territory.” — Herb Wyile, from the Introduction The extermination of the Beothuk ... the exploration of the Arctic ... the experiences of soldiers in the trenches during World War I ... the foibles of Canada’s longest-serving prime minister ... the Ojibway sniper who is credited with 378 wartime kills—these are just some of the people and events discussed in these candid and wide-ranging interviews with eleven authors whose novels are based on events in Canadian history. These sometimes startling conversations take the reader behind the scenes of the novels and into the minds of their authors. Through them we explore the writers’ motives for writing, the challenges they faced in gathering information and presenting it in fictional form, the sometimes hostile reaction they faced after publication, and, perhaps most interestingly, the stories that didn’t make it into their novels. Speaking in the Past Tense provides fascinating insights into the construction of national historical narratives and myths, both those familiar to us and those that are still being written.

Mark Lane tried the only U.S. court case in which the jurors concluded that the CIA plotted the murder of President Kennedy, but there was always a missing piece: How did the CIA control cops and secret service agents on the ground in Dealey Plaza? How did federal authorities prevent the House Select Committee on Assassinations from discovering the truth about the complicity of the CIA? Now, New York Times best-selling author Mark Lane tells all in this explosive new book—with exclusive new interviews, sworn testimony, and meticulous new research (including interviews with Oliver Stone, Dallas Police deputy sheriffs, Robert K. Tanenbaum, and Abraham Bolden) Lane finds out first hand exactly what went on the day JFK was assassinated. Lane includes sworn statements given to the Warren Commission by a police officer who confronted a man who he thought was the assassin. The officer testified that he drew his gun and pointed it at the suspect who showed Secret Service ID. Yet, the Secret Service later reported that there were no Secret Service agents on foot in Dealey Plaza. The Last Word proves that the CIA, operating through a secret small group, prepared all credentials for Secret Service agents in Dallas for the two days that Kennedy was going to be there—conclusive evidence of the CIA’s involvement in the assassination.
