"The Story of Santa Barbara's Dolphin Fountain" is the true account of how the famous fountain was conceived and then built, step by step by local artist/author/sculptor Bud Bottoms. Filled with wonderful color photos taken throughout the process, sculptor Bud Bottoms also relates how the tremendous influence of the local Chumash Indians and their culture contributed to this endeavor. A beautiful keepsake book, "The Story of Santa Barbara's Dolphin Fountain" will have a special place in the historical documentation of this wonderful beach side community, of which the dolphin fountain is the central landmark.

Dawn D'Amico, our author who wrote "Trauma and Well-Being Among Legal Professionals," just sent me this post:

Grateful for the opportunity to speak at the New York State Judicial Institute this week on the impact of secondary trauma in the justice system. It was an honor to engage with such thoughtful, committed professionals who recognize that supporting others through trauma can take a toll on their own well-being. These conversations are essential for sustaining a healthy, resilient judiciary and ensuring justice with compassion. Thank you for creating space for this important dialogue

First there was "Checking in at the Crowbar Hotel" and readers were introduced to Harly, Rage, the hookers, and Sammy – characters that make the Crowbar Hotel (a juvenile detention facility) buzz with life, intrigue, pathos, and humor.

"Letters from the Outs" is about more young adults who have come to mend their ways and is full of new characters and events that once again teach us about learning and life in the Crowbar Hotel.
