My Amanda Writes is a spoof on a land of eroding liberties and a people becoming increasingly ambivalent of the freedoms they may be losing with each passing year in America. Amanda Wright is a college student in today's world writing to her father on the challenges people face today. Some of the story has a presidential race at stake, an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and a host of liberal and conservative pundits influencing the power vacuum of American politics to the growing obstruction of free speech. The final battleground of victory rests in the Hudson Valley of New York State.As an author and humorist, M. Dusseau has adopted the pen name "Cy Lentman" because he writes satire merely as an observer... poking fun at the world. He makes no claims about his political beliefs, choosing instead to remain a 'silent man,' hence the pen name?Cy Lentman. Cy is forever a hopeless romantic who loves music, art, and political satire. His advice to American society..."Dude, lighten up."

Everyone experiences conflict and, at times, feels overwhelmed. When we remain calm and centered, see clearly what the conflict is about and where it is coming from, address the conflict creatively and assertively, and create what we need without expecting or depending on others to change, the result is personal, relational, social, and spiritual transformation. As we master the skills of conflict resolution this transformation comes more easily to us and we are able to support others in resolving their conflicts. Just Conflict helps readers gain greater confidence about their capacity to name, address, and resolve whatever conflict arises so that, when they discover issues in any relationship, they are able to say, "Oh, it's just conflict." These tools help the reader become more adept at knowing what is missing for them when conflicts emerge and to make the choices which get all parties what they need. It is the ability to construct justice out of turmoil which makes conflict just. Dr. Robinson is the Executive Director of the Center for Creative Conflict Resolution and a pastoral counselor who has provided psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families experiencing high levels of conflict for 30 years.
