Fiction. A failed man haunted by his successful past, a woman whose academic career can't hide her alienation and loneliness, a thoughtless young man living for his next sexual conquest: in Cydney Chadwick's new novella BENCHED, these three people move through a world of sinister disconnections in search of something they don't understand and are never going to find. Loosely centered around trips to a Hyde Park bench and a London laundromat at an undefined recent historical moment, BENCHED is a minefield of awkward silences, crude gestures, and small exquisite tortures. Cydney Chadwick, editor of Avec Books and author of works including ENEMY CLOTHING, INSIDE THE HOURS, and INTERIMS, has released BENCHED as part of Avec's new imprint, the Pivotal Prose Series, which thus far features mainly, though not entirely, short fiction about benches.

Fifty years in a law profession she loves, twenty-four of which were spent as judge, Nancy Morrison has stories to tell. It is very much a political book, focusing on the need for law reform. Entertaining, at times warm and witty, it is also a memoir that reminds us of dark days. Nancy Morrison's career spanned three provinces and two territories, as a lawyer, arbitrator and judge.

Mr. Right has never been so freakin' wrong. I'm a single mom and a cop. When some arrogant superstar thinks he can speed through my town and smirk and charm his way out of a ticket, he's wrong. I wrote the ticket and impounded his car. Then he moved in next door. This muscled up god with his glorious physique, panty-dropping smile and smart mouth is my new neighbor. He hates the 'burbs, but that doesn't seem to stop him from flirting with me every chance he gets. As if strutting around in boxers with his abs and chest on display is enough to make me forget his snide comments and wisecracks. Oh sure, he knows how to turn on the charm... like I'll fall for that. I bet that would make a great story, bagging the cop that gave him the ticket- but I'm not some ditzy arm candy lining up to be the next notch in his bedpost. I don't have time to fool around. It doesn't matter if he's hot, and younger than I am, and just looking at him makes my legs shake. The closer we get, the more I think I misjudged him. Somewhere beneath that arrogant smirk is a good man, maybe even the right man, but my past threatens to shatter us both...

Close cases often present a conflict between two or more rules, and many are not at all clear. In forty-five years as a federal judge, I’ve learned that judging is a more complicated and subtle task. "Benched" is about what a judge really does. Unlike Roberts’ “balls and strikes” disclaimer, I try to reckon with the difficulty of deciding close cases—and why the age-old complaint that too many judges "make law instead of just applying it" is a canard. I also seek to dispel the popular misconception that we judges are just voting our personal preferences. "Benched" also outlines nineteen proposals for improvements in the American system of justice. They cover such diverse topics as police misconduct lawsuits, selection of juries, citizen standing to sue government officials, reviving the independent counsel, and death penalty sentencing. Finally, "Benched" is an account of the life I’ve been fortunate to live.--Prologue.
