On September 29, 2006, Michael Monsoor and three SEAL snipers watched vigilantly for enemy activity from their rooftop post in Ar Ramadi, Iraq. When a grenade thrown from insurgents bounced off Michael's chest, he could have escaped. Instead, he threw himself onto the live grenade, shielding his...

Andrew Yang did not win the 2020 Democratic primary, let alone the presidency of the United States. But chances are you know who Andrew Yang is, and you may well be part of the 75 percent of Americans who now support Universal Basic Income—both facts that would have seemed beyond unlikely at the start of Yang’s campaign. That campaign was helmed by Zach Graumann, entrepreneur, marketing expert, and, at the time, political nonentity. In fact, when Graumann joined Yang 2020, no one on the team was an expert in campaigning, but they all shared a fervent desire to change the future.

Kendal Seers might be a lot of things—weird, introverted, boyish-looking—but she’s not stupid. She doesn’t have to learn the same lesson twice. But, when her professor selects her as a counselor in an exclusive program mentoring troubled students, and is assigned the same set of broad shoulders and marble cheekbones, this time she can’t storm off. Why was Nero Roman, star running back, in a program for troubled students? Could it have to do with his small-town roots? Can Kendall lower her guard long enough to find out?

The players in Living Jade Empire grow as their adventures expand their experiences. The game is also expanding its experience and growing more complex. Danika explores new job opportunities and slowly admits to her own feelings. Relationships develop with time, and actions are taken that extend the time available for several of our players.

There’s something about Kendall Seers that my wolf would kill for. What is she, a shifter? Something else? She can’t be human. I could never fall this hard for her if she was. Then again, my instincts have been upside down since I left my alpha-less pack to become a rising star in the outside world. There’s no escaping my past, though. It haunts me. Kendall says she can help me with it. I’ll need her to if I’m going to make it living among humans. Truth is that I just want to be around her. I need to find out what she is.

When Kendall wakes up from a night of drinking with a note pinned to her shirt, the last thing she guesses is that it was put there by a gorgeous guy who desperately wanted to see her again. Why would she? She was nerdy, more than a little awkward, and had never even kissed a guy. And it wasn’t like she had come to university to date. She had big plans. She was going to help people who were going through difficult times and she was going to be the best in the world at it.

The names Peter, Barbara Ann, and Gerald Egan were familiar to Watertown police before December 31, 1964. The police suspected the trio in a long string of burglaries, and they were under investigation by the FBI for grand theft auto. But on that New Year's night, the Egans were shot execution style at a rest stop off Interstate 81. The gruesome gangland-style killings puzzled local and state police. Theories ranged from a simple confrontation gone awry to a premeditated act of retribution by hardened criminals who feared the Egans would turn state's witness.

Most people wouldn't consider East Tennessee University the big city. But when you come from a small town like Snow Tip Falls, it’s more than you can handle. And when you've lived your life with secrets and the football universe shines that big ol' light on you, it's enough to push you over the edge. At least, it did me. It's a good thing Kendall was there to catch me. He doesn't remember the day we met, but I do. It was the moment I confirmed what I always thought: I like guys.

Bound to the demon Valeria; the journey provides Xlina a glimpse of her own hellish fate should she succumb to the vile succubus. Xlina soon finds herself facing the judgement of the Counsel of Magic as the forces of heaven and hell align to thwart her plans.

After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. They say the "Living Jade Empire" creates individualized quests. They say it can read your mind. They say you can find your heart's desire. They say that there has never been a game like it, and they are right, but they are also wrong. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old tales that humans have been telling each other since language was invented.

Carla Bucchio never cared about things like boyfriends and SATs. If she did, maybe life at 20 would be more exciting than developing photos on Long Island. When she chooses the guitar over a social life, it only makes sense because no one talks to her anyway. Music may be Pete Albrecht's life but what good is his talent if he has no one to share it with? When he's not getting bitched about coffee at work, he's getting nagged about college by his girlfriend. What would they say if they really knew about him?

"I want everyone I know to read this book." --Kelly Rimmer, New York Times bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say For fans of The Warsaw Orphan and The Tattooist of Auschwitz. The start of WWII changed everything in Poland irrevocably--except for one man's capacity to love. September 1...

Xlina’s move to Portland, Maine was supposed to be the start of a new life. A normal life. One that didn’t involve her magical-duty-obsessed druid father or her own legacy as a descendant of the Baku: an ancient creature that consumes nightmares. But when the supposed social worker who pointed her toward Portland in the first place turns out to be not-so-human and puts a demon mark on Xlina’s soul, a normal life looks a lot less likely. To survive, she just might need to start listening to necromancer Oxivius, who wants her to embrace her power instead of running from it.

What is life to the full? Our souls long for a life that is full and flourishing, but so often it feels beyond our reach. Blinded by false rewards and temporary relief, we look to sources that promise happiness and wholeness. We attempt to fill our lives with more, increasing our pace and capacity, but accumulation doesn’t ever seem to satisfy. We see the circumstantial evidence that others might have found this sort of life, but we cannot seem to experience it for ourselves.

With their jobs in the spy world on suspension, all Nate and Jar wanted was a little vacation time out of the city. But not even two days on the road, their plans are hijacked by a teen’s cry. What starts out as helping the kid out of a tricky situation leads Nate and Jar into a dark world of fire and hate, of greed and corruption. As much as they might want to continue on their way, neither would ever do so. Because helping those who aren’t in a position to help themselves is Nate and Jar’s specialty.

He might make her nerdy heart pound like the drums at one of his football games, but Quin needs to get over star quarterback, Cage Rucker. For one thing, he has a girlfriend. For another, she didn’t come to college to find a guy, even if he is sweet and kind, and volunteers with kids on the weekend. She has bigger plans. Unfortunately, those bigger plans require one thing she doesn’t have—the ability to talk to people. And who’s good at talking to people? Cage Rucker.

I don’t know what it is about Cage Rucker that makes my wolf howl. Yeah, he has a body that’s been chiseled from marble, and a smile that melts my heart, but it’s more than that. There’s something about the way he smells. My wolf knows. Does that mean that I’m gonna fall all over myself to find out? No way. I chose a school in the middle of nowhere to escape attention. Cage is East Tennessee University's star quarterback. Everyone knows and loves him, including his girlfriend. I wouldn’t even have talked to him again if he hadn’t offered me an exchange I couldn’t refuse.

Cage's problem: He needs to pass his class or he won’t be able to play football, get drafted, or become the NFL star he was meant to be. Harlequin’s problem: people. Luckily, Cage is great with people. Everyone loves him as soon as they meet him, including Harlequin. And Quin is the smartest girl in the class.

On paper, Coach Rob Mendez sounds like any other football coach on any other field across America: passionate, authoritative, knowledgeable. But he’s unlike any other coach you know--in fact, he’s probably unlike any other person you know. Born with an extraordinarily rare condition called...
