Assessing Chronic Pain offers a unique approach to the evaluation and assessment of treatment for chronic pain patients. Rather than adhering to the criteria of any one discipline's approach to treating chronic pain, whether that of anesthesia, physical therapy, psychiatry or psychology, the editors overview a range of disciplines, and focus on the integration of those approaches to achieve what they term a "handbook," rather than a textbook, for the assessment of chronic pain from a multidisciplinary perspective. Issues confronting clinicians have been compounded by procedural problems and assessment indecision, but in Assessing Chronic Pain, Drs. Camic and Brown create a framework to guide specialists in all fields in approaching the patient suffering from chronic, non-malignant pain.

In the 42,000 words in Nyala font in the 235 pages of Twisted Dreams, Twisted Streams, the author delivers anxiety, frustration, and sympathy for the characters in the ten stories, and novelette. Frederick D Brown, author of the collection, uses those elements to rouse the reader. Most villains are seen, a few, unseen. True to life is the greed for money, power and love. Written in the style of clear images, and pictures, Brown gives the reader his interpretation of vampires, the haunted, and monsters. The stories, in appearance in the book are: MageCon The Midas Machine Chimes Dark Hunting Illusions and Lies Pale Visitor Penance The Ghost in the Coffee Shop The Dark at the End of the Alley Tough Love Vampires Hour: a novelette The author of Twisted Dreams, Twisted Streams describes the collection: I once imagined an image of a woman surrounded by writhing shadows and used that image as the basis for the story, "The Dark at the End of the Alley." Or when in the midst of a science fiction/fantasy convention, I wondered if the fun and games could be a cover for a darker meeting and the story became, "MageCon." Another time I asked myself what vampires do if they ever went on a retreat, and proceeded to write "Vampire Hours." Author, K. Wodke, co-author of BETRAYED, describes Twisted Dreams, Twisted Streams: In this dark collection of short stories, there is something for every fan of the macabre. Magic is reality in these tales as ghosts, wizards, and vampires ply their dark wiles. Editor of Twisted Dreams, Twisted Streams, Sharon Black, and co-partner of Strange Weird and Wonderful Publishing stated of the title, "If you could taste stories, these would be it."
