State of the Association: Presidential Address
Due to this agreement, in addition to our two \"in-house\" lobbyists (Rachel Bauer and Jacob Scott), we have been able to hire three contracted lobbyists (Rich AuBuchon, Trent Watson and Deanna Hemphill) which will vastly increase our ability to meet with legislators and attend multiple committee hearings (many of which are occurring simultaneously). [...]of several grants, we have been able to restore the office to much of its historically original appearance (including much appreciated updates to the modern conveniences of electricity, telecommunications, HVAC, and so forth). [...]it is a pleasure to acknowledge the increasing vitality and influence of our Missouri State Medical Association.

Red-hot Cajun
Rene LeDeux returns home to southern Louisiana after quitting his job in Washington as an environmental lobbyist. Years of battling with the oil industry and land developers have left him completely burnt out, and now all he wants to do is work on his cabin on Bayou Black. But his peace of mind is disrupted by a few things. One, his great-aunt Tante Lulu is determined to get him hitched. Two, a couple of his activist friends have hatched a plot to bring national attention to their cause to save the bayou. They've kidnapped a TV celebrity and brought her to Rene's cabin. And three, the celebrity is none other than Valerie \"Ice\" Breux, Rene's nemesis while growing up. Talk about red-hot trouble!

From a low and quiet sea
\"A new moving novel of three men, each searching for something they have lost, from the award-winning and Man Booker nominated author Donal Ryan. For Farouk, family is all. He has protected his wife and daughter as best he can from the war and hatred that has torn Syria apart. If they stay, they will lose their freedom, will become lesser persons. If they flee, they will lose all they have known of home, for some intangible dream of refuge in some faraway land across the merciless sea. Lampy is distracted; he has too much going on in his small town life in Ireland. He has the city girl for a bit of fun, but she's not Chloe, and Chloe took his heart away when she left him. There's the secret his mother will never tell him. His granddad's little sniping jokes are getting on his wick. And on top of all that, he has a bus to drive; those old folks from the home can't wait all day. The game was always the lifeblood coursing through John's veins: manipulating people for his enjoyment, or his enrichment, or his spite. But it was never enough. The ghost of his beloved brother, and the bitter disappointment of his father, have shadowed him all his life. But now that lifeblood is slowing down, and he's not sure if God will listen to his pleas for forgiveness. Three men, searching for some version of home, their lives moving inexorably towards a reckoning that will draw them all together\"-- Provided by publisher.
