I'll get to this within the next week.
here's a draft of a style. there will inevitably be some small discrepancies in the style, so let me know what needs fixing after your testing:

@damnation, I downloaded and tried to install the style file but am getting an error message, and the style is not getting installed.
One error that seems to be that in bibliography item, after the author(s) name, instead of the year it always seems to say n.d. (even though in the in-text citation the year shows up correctly). I tested this with multiple types of entries and each case the bibliography shows n.d. instead of the year.
Thanks in advance for your help in resolving these issues.
In one instance, where the item type was "Newspaper article" it output year and month as below - notice the closing bracket ")", and the lack of a period and space after the year:
Kristin 2015June)Gender, Naming, and Fluidity. Dialog: A Journal of Theology, 124–125.
Hope that is enough information to isolate the 'bug.' :)
Many thanks.
My apologies. I just realized that I had written out the style examples incorrectly. Here are the corrected examples in proper form:
In-text citation:
(Campbell and Pedersen 2007)
(Mares 2001)
Bibliography:
Campbell JL and Pedersen OK 2007. The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comparative Political Studies 40(3):307–332.
Mares I 2001. Firms and the welfare state: when, why, and how does social policy matter to employers? In PA Hall and DW Soskice (eds), Varieties of capitalism: the institutional foundations of comparative advantage, 184–213. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
I am really sorry about the earlier error. Feeling pretty bad about it - I realize an error like this causes a wasteful drain upon your time. My sincere apologies.
Outputs like this for me:
Foderaro LW 2012 (6 April). Rooftop greenhouse will boost city farming. New York. New York Times, A20.
That's in line with the style guide:
Woodbridge NB 2007 (14 November). The use of worship songs in youth ministry.
Johannesburg, South Africa. The Star, 4.
N.d./date issue:
Still not sure what's going on there, but this one will work better. Working on a fix.
