If at first you don't succeed...you're probably screwed.

Every druid has a gift, and Rain Finlay's is communicating with animals. Unfortunately, she kind of sucks at everything else about being a druid, including spells and magic. That was just one of the reasons she left home -- the rest of them being her distant, overbearing father.

But when her father contacts her out of the blue with news that her grandfather, her beloved Poppy, is in danger -- and her gift may be able to save him -- she leaves college in the States for the Irish Sea and her childhood home, the Isle of Parthas. There, she learns it's going to take more than talking to a few sheep to save Poppy and the other villagers... because the old legends that Rain never believed in are coming to life, and the mythical creature she must now hunt is only the beginning.

What if there had been social media during the Apollo 8 mission to the Moon in 1968?

This account will put you believably back inside those six tense and dramatic days in 1968. It is the story of the first manned mission to the Moon told in the form of today’s social media, allowing us to witness the unfolding drama of the mission as if we were following it in real time and as if the participants and observers were sharing their thoughts and actions with us directly.

In December 1968, so much remained unknown.

Would the first manned launch of the massive Saturn V rocket lift off and successfully deliver three astronauts into Earth orbit? Would humans be able to survive passing through the Van Allen belts of radiation between the Earth and the Moon? What would happen when the astronauts passed around the far side of the Moon out of contact with Earth? Would the single engine needed to boost the spacecraft out of lunar orbit and on a course back to Earth fire as hoped? Would the first nighttime recovery of a spacecraft from the Pacific Ocean be successful?

If the Apollo 8 mission was to be successful, the astronauts on board would become the first humans to travel so incredibly far and so incredibly fast. They would be the first to leave the Earth’s sphere of influence and the first to see the whole planet Earth from space. They would be the first to orbit the Moon, first to set eyes on the far side of the Moon and the first humans to witness the spectacular Earthrise over the lunar landscape.

The narrative of this account is based on actual astronaut recollections, NASA transcripts of the fascinating continual communications with the astronauts, broadcasts of the main TV networks covering the mission and the thoughts of many laypeople observers. There is an extensive list of major sources at the end of the book.

Noah Carterson is a bad person.  At least, that’s what he wants me to think. But my life isn’t a movie, and nothing is that simple.  He’s definitely arrogant, filthy, an a**hole, and sexy as hell. He has a player reputation, and I'm pretty sure it's well deserved.  And the fact that Noah's father tried to ruin my mom’s life makes things complicated. Our families are practically at war, and his super intense dad will do anything to keep him in line.

When I get a job at the brand new campus movie theater, I find myself getting closer to Noah than I ever thought possible. He practically runs the place, and everyone that works there has a story about him. I can’t tell if I hate the sight of his confident smile, or if I want him to do all the dirty things he whispers into my ear in the darkness of the empty theater.

Before, I never wondered what kind of person I am. But with Noah’s camera running, I’ll have to decide what makes someone good or bad before the film runs out.

When Huma Abedin, aide to the Secretary of State and fellow secret agent, is captured by the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo, Hillary sets out to rescue her protégé and friend. During the height of Monicagate, former Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, took a distraught Hillary and inducted her into the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), ostensibly an organization to protect America’s diplomats around the world but actually, a secret spy wing of the State Department.

Now, Jordana is making it on her own as one of the culinary world’s hottest up-and-coming young chefs and everyone wants her. However, she only has eyes for the one person who has eluded her since her teenage days, former Miami Tarpons player and now team owner, Dante Laredo. He finally sees her for the beautiful, talented, and smart woman she is and not the awkward, mousy, braces-wearing little kid who was forever hanging around his parents' kitchen with her mother, their chef, Rosa.

Now, Dante is willing to risk everything--including signing football's most wanted free agent who just happens to be his fiancee's brother--to claim Jordana as his own. However, his twin brother, Lorenzo, the real brains behind the operation of the Miami Tarpons, has something to say about his brother fraternizing with the daughter of their cook.
