A distinguished senator opposed to the hearing makes a dramatic appeal on Santa’s behalf. Reporter Bill Camper and his young son visit Santa where Brandon got the opportunity to tour the workshop, meet the reindeer and have a conversation with Santa.

As a partner in a small Connecticut law firm, Meg Riley assesses her clients’ cases based on logic, reason, and hard evidence. But Meg’s rational approach is tested when she is appointed to represent an attractive man who was arrested on Christmas Eve for criminal trespass. His explanation for being in a stranger’s house in the middle of the night? He was delivering presents to a little boy—because he, Ralph Claus, is the son of Santa Claus. Or so he claims. From the courtroom to Santa’s workshop and back again, Meg’s efforts to win Ralph’s case are complicated by a variety of people with competing agendas. The little boy’s mother is determined to see Ralph convicted, a quest supported by a state senator who is running for governor. Ralph’s mother is more concerned about protecting the secrets of Santa than the niceties of the legal system. Meg’s law partners are becoming concerned about her ability to balance Ralph’s case with her obligations to bigger clients—and they don’t even know about Meg’s romantic feelings for Ralph. After trial, an unexpected bombshell jeopardizes Meg’s career. Faced with the potential loss of both Ralph and her profession, Meg must decide once and for all what she truly believes—and what she is willing to sacrifice for that belief. P. Jo Anne Burgh has woven a luminous tale of love and friendship, laced with drama, humor, joy, romance—and more than a touch of magic. ***** "P. Jo Anne Burgh’s State v. Claus is a splendid combination of romance, magic and legal drama. Written with verve and humor, this novel will have you 'believing' in Christmas again." — Susan Schoenberger, author of A Watershed Year "State v. Claus is a whimsical delight. P. Jo Anne Burgh has a fresh voice. You will definitely want to read her." — David Handler, Edgar Award-winning author of the Stewart Hoag and Berger & Mitry novels

Have you had it with all of those wholesome Christmas tales? Does the thought of yet another year watching Rudolph, the Baby New Year, and Scrooge make you want to yak? Doing Mrs. Claus and the other books in the Amorous Adventure of Santa Claus series may just change the way you look at Christmas. If nothing else it just might put the heat back into Sexmas. Mrs. Claus had an enormous appetite for everything sexual, and in the weeks leading up to Christmas that desire expanded completely out of proportion to her normal needs. You see the hustle and bustle of Christmas, with all its ins and outs, and travels here and there, turned Mrs. Santa on. It made her-well, it made her horny. Unfortunately, it had just the opposite effect on Santa. Christmas was his busy season. There were toys to make, lists to put together, and reindeer paths to plan. When he was done working, Santa just wanted to come home, drop his fat ass in the chair, eat supper, and fall asleep watching the latest broadcast of the North Pole News. Mrs. Claus's special needs weren't high up on his list of priorities-not at Christmas time, anyway. ............... Mrs. C had developed a habit of hanging around outside of Santa's workshop at shift change. She'd start up a conversation with a hot young Elf, and next thing you know, she'd innocently follow him into the showers-chatting the entire way. At first the Elves didn't think much about it. It was a little strange and out of character for her, but they figured it was just Mrs. C being friendly. As time passed, and the visits became more frequent she became more hands on. One day the Elves discovered Mrs. C in the showers-bare ass naked-scrubbing their backs, and helping them wash their more private parts.

The Relativity of Deviance is a primer on the constructivist perspective on deviance—the idea that deviance cannot be explained in terms of absolutes, nor can it be understood apart from its social setting. The book is frequently used alongside all of the major core deviance textbooks on the market. It answers such questions as: What is deviant? What is deviant behavior? How should the deviant be treated? Why is the same act sometimes praised and sometimes condemned? Readers will see that what qualifies as deviance varies from place to place, time to time, and situation to situation. The book explores some of the most frequent contexts for deviant behavior in ways that challenge definitive or objective judgments. The Fifth Edition has been updated to include the most current developments in American society, including deviance at the highest levels of national politics and corporate life, sex abuse scandals, the opioid crisis, and the growing decriminalization of marijuana.
