Alaska Bush Cop: And the Beat Goes On is the second of a four-book series, outlining my nearly 32-year career as police chief of a small Alaska bush community. I was hired off the street, with no previous experience, and was asked to single-handedly police a community of nearly 800 people. The position turned into a career of nearly 32 years, setting a record for the longest serving chief of police in Alaska history. In my first book, Alaska Bush Cop: The Beginning, I took you through my first few years of learning be a cop. I outlined many of the stumbling blocks which accompanied me, and I acquainted you with the many police officers and dispatchers, who played a vital role in my being successful. You will be surprised by the number of different criminal activities, which took place in our small community. All the stories in Alaska Bush Cop are factual, and they took place in and around, Seldovia, Alaska.

I served as chief of police in the Alaska bush community of Seldovia for nearly 32 years. Alaska Bush Cop is the first of four books describing what actually took place during those years. When I took the chief's position, I had no training, and in this book, you'll find what I endured while learning how to be a police officer. I write about mistakes made and their repercussions. The events in Alaska Bush Cop did take place and are depicted the way they actually occurred. I think you will find it surprising when you read about many of the cases I write about. Many people feel a police officer in a small community has very little, or noting, to do. In reality, I kept busy in this one, and at times, two-man police department. I hope you find Alaska Bush Cop informative, enlightening, and entertaining.

For sixty years Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the Federal District of Sitka, a "temporary" safe haven created in the wake of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. The Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. But now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end. Homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. And in the cheap hotel where Landsman has washed up, someone has just committed a murder—right under his nose. When he begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy, word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, and Landsman finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, evil, and salvation that are his heritage. At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.

Reimagining Rural: Urbanormative Portrayals of Rural Life examines the ways in which rural people and places are being portrayed by popular television, reality television, film, literature, and news media in the United States. It is also an examination of the social processes that reinforce urbanormative standards that normalize urban life and render rural life as something unusual, exotic, or deviant. This includes exploring the role of the media as agenda setting agent, informing people what and how to think about rural life. Further it includes scrutinizing the institution of formal education that promotes a homogenous urban-oriented curriculum, while in the process, marginalizing the unique characteristics of local rural communities. These contributions are some of the only studies of their kind, investigating popular cultural representations of rural life, while providing powerful evidence and unique challenges for an urban society to rethink and reimagine rural life, while confronting the many stereotypes and myths that exist.
