His drug and alcohol-fuelled antics made world headlines and engulfed a city in unprecedented controversy. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s personal and political troubles have occupied centre stage in North America’s fourth largest city since news broke that men involved in the drug trade were selling a videotape of Ford appearing to smoke crack cocaine. Toronto Star reporter Robyn Doolittle was one of three journalists to view the video and report on its contents in May 2013. Her dogged pursuit of the story has uncovered disturbing details about the mayor’s past and embroiled the Toronto police, city councilors, and ordinary citizens in a raucous debate about the future of the city. Even before those explosive events, Ford was a divisive figure. A populist and successful city councillor, he was an underdog to become mayor in 2010. His politics and mercurial nature have split the amalgamated city in two. But there is far more to the story. The Fords have a long, unhappy history of substance abuse and criminal behavior. Despite their troubles, they are also one of the most ambitious families in Canada. Those close to the Fords say they often compare themselves to the Kennedys and believe they were born to lead. Regardless of whether the mayor survives the scandal, the Ford name is on the ballot in the mayoralty election of 2014. Fast-paced and insightful, Crazy Town is a page-turning portrait of a troubled man, a formidable family and a city caught in an jaw-dropping scandal.

The HR chicks have many comical experiences working together. Well, we think so. She has seen it all and has had to deal with many unpleasant experiences. She had gotten to a point in her career where work was just a job. Insert me here. I had experience, but was not prepared for the environment I had walked in to. I was used to a more "normal" environment so to speak. But let's be honest, is normal really any fun anymore? Can you laugh at normal? Write a book about it? No. I had decided early on I wanted to be involved in HR or training of some sort. Why I will never know. Something about the field has always drawn me in. Intrigued me so to speak, but for this job, thank God I minored in Psychology. The HR chicks clicked immediately. A mentor relationship was formed and work became a playground that they both actually enjoyed going to. Well let me rephrase, it became tolerable. She gave me the knowledge and know-how to be successful, and I gave her a new perspective and my wacky view on things to make the environment more enjoyable. Our stories in this book are crazy, yes. Is it our perspective of the situation, yes, but remember we are professionals, because WE are the HR chicks.

"The Town Crazy is set in the sleepy town of Hanzloo, Pennsylvania, a suburban Catholic community in 1961. A single father moves into town with his young son, which arouses suspicion from the husbands and the interest of the wives, but at the same time, one of the wives seems to be losing her mind, and no one knows what to do. A contemporary, often humorous take on a bygone era, The Town Crazy also delves into the terror and cruelty of childhood, the dangerous loneliness of failing marriages, sexual repression and desire, and the intersection of art and religion, all culminating in a tragedy for which everyone in the town bears some responsibility."--Provided by publisher.

The sounds of gunfire, sirens howling in the darkness, families crying due to random acts of violence are all part of cities like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, but they also belong to the small Southwestern community of Roswell, New Mexico. Crazy Town Roswell is a city filled with senior citizens looking for a quiet place to live out the remaining days of life filled with endless days of gardening, golf, and quiet visits with friends. However, there is also the other side of this community where the thread of inevitability runs rampant among young and old alike. Crazy Town Roswell, or just CTR, is a dark place where gang members are initiated into the deadly, and often fatal lifestyle where few, if any escape. Families are torn apart by the cruelty of drugs, drinking, and violence which often accompany those found at the heart of this life. Too often funerals are paid for by GoFundMe pages on Facebook, a car wash held on Main Street next to the Burger King, or empty bottles decorated with the face of CTR's latest victim find their way to a counter at the local Alsup's convenience store. Mimo Horton, a Probation and Parole officer for the State of New Mexico has a good heart and looks to help several of his clients escape their own destiny as he looks to a brighter future to his own life.

Meanwhile, the Professor Rudy Prudencio, takes on the guise of a reformed convict in order to further his own schemes of success. Finally, the young gangbanger Charlie Archuleta seeks redemption and escape from the CTR gang he joined to survive New Mexico's harsh prison existence where the only rule for joining and leaving is "Blood in and Blood Out." Follow each of their stories as they, and their Parole Officer work to break the inevitable future which comes from being a citizen of Crazy Town Roswell.
