Life in PJ Pickelime's village is always a little out of the ordinary... just like PJ herself. There's the day Lemon Pie, a yellow warbler, comes to live in her bushy crop of black hair, and the morning PJ cuts her hair to help mop up an oil spill. There's the afternoon she makes sweet, memory-filled lemonade that draws people from blocks away, and the night she chats with owls in a barn full of honey. But PJ's spring is not all roses and rainbows, and sometimes unexpected events are too real.

Before Atheneum published DOMINION in the late l970s, several publishers dismissed it as "unbelievable", because it included the sort of wrongful death suit against a tobacco company, that reads like today's media headlines. DOMINION is based on the author's intensive investigative reporting for business journals in London on the industry's illegal marketing practices, and also reflects the warring sides of a wealthy tobacco dynasty spanning the USA and Britain.

Bootblack to bootlegger to billionaire, patriarch Dmitri Mitsidis is never far from his humble origins as a boy off the Greek island of Skyros who ended up on the streets of New York. After surviving a padrone's cruelty, and teaching himself how to read English by begging the men whose boots he shone to teach him new words, Mitsidis saw his chance during Prohibition. Through a family network of Rum Runners and distributors spanning several continents, he created a huge liquor conglomerate after Repeal. But he paid the price in heartbreak, sacrificing those dearest to him in episodes of betrayal and bloodshed. Greek Americans continue to praise Pam Ferguson for writing "their stories".

THE PALESTINE PROBLEM was going to press when the Holy Day War broke out on October 6 1973 on the Jewish Day of Atonement and during the Moslem Feast of Ramadan. The war - bloodier than that of 1948, 1956 or 1967 - was the outcome of over six years of crises hallmarked by the inability of those involved to negotiate a peace settlement. In a quest to research the human side of the conflict, the author traveled Israel, the Palestinian territories, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, seeking interviews with people on all sides, in government, outlawed political movements, the media, universities, refugee camps, homes in exile, and in trenches during civil war.
