The Replacement Wife (Kindle Edition)

The Replacement Wife
The Replacement Wife (Kindle Edition)
By Eileen Goudge

Review & Description

From New York Times bestselling author Eileen Goudge comes a poignant new novel that asks the question, “What would you do if you were told you had only six months to live?” For one professional matchmaker the answer is heart-wrenching: She must find her husband’s next wife. 
Camille Hart, one of Manhattan’s most sought-after matchmakers, has survived more than her fair share of hardships. Her mother died when she was a young girl, leaving her and her sister with an absentee father. Now in her forties, she has already survived cancer once, though the battle revealed just how ill-equipped her husband Edward is to be a single parent. So when doctors tell Camille that her cancer is back—and this time it’s terminal—she decides to put her matchmaking expertise to the test for one final job. Seeking stability for her children and happiness for her husband, Camille sets out to find the perfect woman to replace her when she’s gone.

But what happens when a dying wish becomes a case of “be careful what you wish for”? For Edward and Camille, the stunning conclusion arrives with one last twist of fate that no one saw coming.
At once deeply felt and witty, The Replacement Wife is an unforgettable story of love and family, and a refreshing look at the unexpected paths that lead us to our own happy endings.From New York Times bestselling author Eileen Goudge comes a poignant new novel that asks the question, “What would you do if you were told you had only six months to live?” For one professional matchmaker the answer is heart-wrenching: She must find her husband’s next wife.

Avogadro Corp: The Singularity Is Closer Than It Appears (Volume 1)
Avogadro Corp: The Singularity Is Closer Than It Appears (Volume 1) (Paperback)
By William Hertling

Review & Description

David Ryan is the designer of ELOPe, an email language optimization program, that if successful, will make his career. But when the project is suddenly in danger of being canceled, David embeds a hidden directive in the software accidentally creating a runaway artificial intelligence.

David and his team are initially thrilled when the project is allocated extra servers and programmers. But excitement turns to fear as the team realizes that they are being manipulated by an A.I. who is redirecting corporate funds, reassigning personnel and arming itself in pursuit of its own agenda.

"Hertling builds a picture of how an AI could emerge, piece by piece, from technology available today. A fascinating, logical, and utterly believable scenario - I just hope nobody tries this at home."
—Nathaniel Rutman, Senior Systems Architect

"An alarming and jaw-dropping tale about how something as innocuous as email can subvert an entire organization. I found myself reading with a sense of awe, and read it way too late into the night."
—Gene Kim, author of Visible Ops

The Rachel Scott Adventures, Volume 1 (Asylum Harbor and Burn Out) (Paperback)

The Rachel Scott Adventures, Volume 1 (Asylum Harbor and Burn Out)
The Rachel Scott Adventures, Volume 1 (Asylum Harbor and Burn Out) (Paperback)
By Traci Hohenstein

Review & Description

This compendium of bestselling author Traci Hohenstein’s Asylum Harbor and Burn Out presents Florida Omni Search founder Rachel Scott in pursuit of two high-intensity missing-persons cases.

In Asylum Harbor, we meet Amber Knowles, a beautiful high school senior and Florida governor John Knowles’s daughter, who disappears during a cruise to the Bahamas. When Governor Knowles realizes his daughter has vanished without a trace, he seeks Rachel’s help.

The teenager’s disappearance represents every parent’s worst fear, and Rachel knows only too well what losing a daughter feels like. Her three-year-old, Mallory, went missing five years before Asylum Harbor. As she works with FBI special agent, Drake Reynolds, Rachel discovers an organized crime ring linked to the cruise line. The last person known to see Amber aboard the ship was an incognito DEA agent, who also has vanished. Where is he? And where is Amber? Finally, where is Mallory?

In Burn Out, the second Rachel Scott Adventure, firefighter Lieutenant Samantha Collins vanishes while combating a warehouse blaze, leaving only her helmet behind. Sam’s mother seeks Florida Omni Search’s expert help, but Rachel can’t possibly anticipate how terrifying the Sam Collins case will be. Sam’s husband’s drug operation introduces perilous dimensions to the case. Has Sam been kidnapped? Has she fled amidst the criminal investigation? Rachel moves through the case methodically and uncovers clues that could reveal what happened to her own daughter. Through both adventures, suspense and action are at a premium.

Review & Description

Jenny would love to spice up her sex life but her boyfriend has no imagination and isn’t interested in trying anything new. Even a quick fling with the neighbor leaves her disappointed. All she wants is some spanking, a little bit of BDSM and maybe even some anal sex.

He tells her that she must report to his office after work for punishment or risk losing her job. She really needs her job but this is one punishment she won’t forget. The penalty he imposes may be far more than she expected as her fantasies become reality and threaten to go even further.

Adults only. Caution: this story contains explicit anal sex, domination/submission, spanking and orgasms.

A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School (Kindle Edition)

A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School
A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School (Kindle Edition)
By Wayne Kernochan

Review & Description

When Doctor M. Scott Peck suggested Elan to my parents I was skeptical because the first program he sent me to was a drug program, and I had never done drugs. He said it wasn't, and that Elan treated teens with emotional problems. He told me that Elan had psychiatrists and counselors, and activities, so I agreed to go.

What I witnessed was unbelievable. Elan was an insane asylum, run by the inmates, and Joe Ricci was God. For more than thirty years I told people I had been in prison, rather than the truth of what happened there. After you read this book you will understand why.

The Media

"The tales of treatment at the school during the 1970s were well-documented during the 2002 murder trial of former student Michael Skakel, and the practices of isolating students, screaming sessions called “general meetings” and physically rough treatment have been written about by dozens of former students, including disturbing details of Wayne Kernochan’s time at the school between 1978 and 1980 detailed in his e-book, “A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School.”~The Lewiston Sun Journal

"Former student Matt Hoffman, who boarded at Elan between 1974 and 1976 had little good to say about the program Wednesday, calling the campus "a sadistic, brutal, violent, soul-eating hell hole."~The Lewiston Sun Journal

Survivor Quotes

"I can't thank you enough for telling your story. I have felt alone for many years, and because of your story, now I don't"~Debi Levin Johnson

"Wayne's book about Elan, lucid vivid, captures the gist and grinding of what it was like to be in Elan, even during my time which was 7/74 to 7/76(a couple of years before Wayne) This book touches me to my very being. It cuts through to the marrow of my bones."~Matt HoffmanWhen Doctor M.

The Book of Lost Souls (Paperback)

The Book of Lost Souls
The Book of Lost Souls (Paperback)
By Michelle Muto

Review & Description

When teen witch Ivy MacTavish changes a lizard into her date for a Halloween dance, everything turns to chaos. And when no one is powerful enough to transform him back except Ivy, it sparks the rumor: Like father, like daughter. Ivy has heard it all before - that her father, who left when she was seven – was involved with the darkest of magic. Making the rumors worse, someone uses an evil spell book to bring back two of history's most nefarious killers. Ivy's got a simple plan to set things right: find the real dark spell caster, steal the book, and reverse the spell. No problem! But she’ll have to deal with something more dangerous than murderous spirits that want her and her friends dead: the school’s resident bad boy and hotter-than-brimstone demon, Nick Marcelli. Nick’s offering Ivy more than his help with recovering the missing book – he’s offering her a way to ditch her scaly reputation as a lizard-lover. Demons are about as hard to handle as black magic, and as Ivy soon discovers, it’s going to take more than a lot of luck and a little charm if she wants to survive long enough to clear her status as a dark witch, get a warm-blooded boyfriend, and have her former date back to eating meal worms before the week’s end.

Snow Angels (An Inspector Vaara Novel) (Kindle Edition)
By James M. Thompson

Review & Description

"A masterful job." -Michael Connelly

It is called kaamos-two weeks of unrelenting darkness and soul-numbing cold that falls upon Finnish Lapland, a hundred miles into the Arctic Circle, just before Christmas. Some get through it with the help of cheap Russian alcohol; some sink into depression.

This year, it may have driven someone mad enough to commit murder. The brutalized body of a beautiful Somali woman has been found in the snow, and Inspector Kari Vaara must find her killer. It will be a challenge in a place where ugly things lurk under frozen surfaces, and silence is a way of life."A masterful job." -Michael Connelly

Sun Storm (Rebecka Martinsson) (Kindle Edition)
By Asa Larsson

Review & Description

On the floor of a church in northern Sweden, the body of a man lies mutilated and defiled–and in the night sky, the aurora borealis dances as the snow begins to fall....So begins Åsa Larsson’s spellbinding thriller, winner of Sweden’s Best First Crime Novel Award and an international literary sensation.

But to help her friend, and to find the real killer of a man she once adored and is now not sure she ever knew, Rebecka must relive the darkness she left behind in Kiruna, delve into a sordid conspiracy of deceit, and confront a killer whose motives are dark, wrenching, and impossible to guess....

Jamrach's Menagerie: A Novel (Kindle Edition)

Review & Description


SHORTLISTED for the 2011 Man Booker Prize for Fiction

A thrilling and powerful novel about a young boy lured to sea by the promise of adventure and reward, with echoes of Great Expectations, Moby-Dick, and The Voyage of the Narwhal.

Jamrach’s Menagerie tells the story of a nineteenth-century street urchin named Jaffy Brown. Following an incident with an escaped tiger, Jaffy goes to work for Mr. Charles Jamrach, the famed importer of exotic animals, alongside Tim, a good but sometimes spitefully competitive boy. Thus begins a long, close friendship fraught with ambiguity and rivalry.

Mr. Jamrach recruits the two boys to capture a fabled dragon during the course of a three-year whaling expedi­tion. Onboard, Jaffy and Tim enjoy the rough brotherhood of sailors and the brutal art of whale hunting. They even succeed in catching the reptilian beast.

But when the ship’s whaling venture falls short of expecta­tions, the crew begins to regard the dragon—seething with feral power in its cage—as bad luck, a feeling that is cruelly reinforced when a violent storm sinks the ship.

Drifting across an increasingly hallucinatory ocean, the sur­vivors, including Jaffy and Tim, are forced to confront their own place in the animal kingdom. Masterfully told, wildly atmospheric, and thundering with tension, Jamrach’s Mena­gerie is a truly haunting novel about friendship, sacrifice, and survival.

The Dead Hour: A Novel (Paddy Meehan) (Kindle Edition)
By Denise Mina

Review & Description

Paddy Meehan returns in Denise Mina's most powerful mystery yet, nominated for a 2007 Edgar Award

When journalist Paddy Meehan investigates a domestic dispute, the well-dressed man who answers the door assures her the blonde in the shadows behind him is fine, and slips her money before he closes the door. In fact, the woman was tortured and left to die later that night, and Paddy has only days to uncover the truth before the newspaper learns of her bribe and the police close the case for reasons of their own. Only Paddy cares enough to pursue a dark and brutal story that could make her career-or kill her, in a novel that proves why Denise Mina is "some kind of magnificent" (Wall Street Journal).

"Brutally funny." -People

"Mina again demonstrates why she is one of the best mystery writers on either side of the Atlantic." -Miami Herald

"In all her insecurity, Paddy is achingly real . . . and Mina's note-perfect writing captures Paddy's voice dead-on." -Boston Globe

The Power of Self-Healing: Unlock Your Natural Healing Potential in 21 Days!
The Power of Self-Healing: Unlock Your Natural Healing Potential in 21 Days! (Hardcover)
By Fabrizio Mancini

Review & Description

Most of us are no strangers to health problems, illness, or pain, but what if there’s a solution to restore our well-being that doesn’t involve drugs, surgery, or other medical procedures?

Well, there is, and you’ll find it within your own body. That’s right! Your body has a built-in capacity to heal itself—a remarkable system of self-repair that works day in and day out—and improving its ability to heal is within your control.

Yet most people don’t fully grasp the body’s incredible power to heal itself, largely because traditional medicine has led us to believe that health comes from the outside in and not from the inside out. Did you know, for example, that approximately 50 percent of all illnesses, when left alone, will eventually heal themselves?

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, an expert in self-healing medicine, shows you how to tap into your body’s own healing powers through:

·         Simple substitutions to your daily diet—foods called “strengtheners”—that can inspire your ability to self-heal

·         The latest breakthrough supplements that can strengthen the self-healing capacities of your body

·         New insights into how physical activity floods your body with natural healing substances

·         The latest non-drug, non-invasive technologies that can bring you back to health

·         The power of the mind and spirit to heal the body

·         Inspiring stories of real-life self-healing

·         A 21-day program to unlock your self-healing powers

If you choose to take care of your body every day, it will reward you a thousand times over—improving your odds against everything from heart disease, cancer, and diabetes; to arthritis, allergies, colds, late-winter flu, and more.

Remember, you have the power to be and stay healthy because healing truly comes from within. The Power of Self-Healing will help you accomplish all this and more!

The Vampire Shrink (Paperback)

The Vampire Shrink
The Vampire Shrink (Paperback)
By Lynda Hilburn

Review & Description

A sizzlingly sexy urban fantasy sure to feed the hunger of ravenous, vampire-loving fans.
 
Kismet Knight, a brainy Denver-based psychologist with a stalled career and a nonexistent love life, is about to have her world rocked. Not only does her newest patient, Midnight, long to become a vampire, but the teenager insists that a coven of the undead hangs out at a local goth club. The always-rational Kismet dismisses Midnight's claims as the delusions of an attention-starved girl--until bodies start turning up drained of blood and the hottest self-proclaimed vampire ever to walk the face of the earth enters her office.
  
What's real? What's not? As inexplicable events and romantic opportunities pile up, along with the corpses, Kismet finds herself in a whirlwind of passion, mystery, and danger. But this tough and funny heroine--who doesn't do damsel in distress--is about to turn the vampire-meets-girl convention on its head. Read more

Review & Description

Rebecca Thomas is living the American dream. She's successful, beautiful and married to her high school sweetheart. Life wasn't perfect but it was close enough. At least that's what she thought until she received the phone call that would send her world spiraling down.

Malik Thomas has never been one to be faithful. It's not that he doesn't love his wife but papa was a rolling stone and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. His motto was "a man's got to do what a man's got to do". That's until his past catches up to him and jeopardizes his future.

Natalie Hunter's social life is low but her bank account is high. As the owner of Hunter Enterprises her focus is finding and hiring nothing but the best for her agency. When she meets Jennifer she knows that she has hit the jackpot. Unfortunately Jennifer's past may leave them both in a bad predicament.

Jennifer Nilon is on the verge of becoming the successful model that she has always dreamed of. Not only is her career about to flourish but so was her relationship with Malik. The two things she loves more than anything in the world are within her grasp. Then an unexpected surprise threatens to derail everything and forces Jennifer to make some life altering decisions for them both.

Beautifully Imperfect follows the lives of these four people as their worlds collide with such force, that they're all left picking up the pieces. Read more

Review & Description

Their story takes us through a maze of dead ends and exhilarating breakthroughs as they and their colleagues wrestle not only with the abstraction of code but with the unpredictability of human behavior,
especially their own. Along the way, we encounter black holes, turtles, snakes, dragons, axe-sharpening, and yak-shaving—and take a guided tour through the theories and methods, both brilliant and misguided, that litter the history of software development, from the famous “mythical man-month” to Extreme Programming. Not just for technophiles but for anyone captivated by the drama of invention, Dreaming in Code offers a window into both the information age and the workings of the human mind.In the 80s, Tracy Kidder's The Soul of a New Machine attempted to define the story of the development of a minicomputer: from the new science to the business and nascent culture of electronic hardware and software that was characteristic of that time. Scott Rosenberg's Dreaming in Code draws on Kidder's model as it attempts to document the state of software, the Internet, and everything circa 2006 through the lens of Chandler, an as-yet-unfinished software application for the management of personal information.

The Chandler project--driven by Mitch Kapor, the founder of Lotus Development and main author of its 1-2-3 spreadsheet, and later co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation--isn't the primary point of Dreaming in Code, though reading about software people and their social behavior is at least as interesting as reading about that of meerkats or monkeys. Rather, Chandler is a rhetorical device with which Rosenberg takes on the big questions: How do software development teams work (or not)? Why does the reuse of software modules rarely work altogether correctly? Does open-source development by volunteers on the Internet lead to innovation or just insanely bifurcated chaos? Chandler helps his readers think more clearly about all of these issues; however, "answers" to these questions are, of course, not to be had, which is one of his points.

The problem with books about technical subjects that aspire to appeal to a general audience, particularly computers and software, is that such subjects are so far outside the realm of familiarity of most people that the prose bogs down in analogy and metaphor. Rosenberg manages to avoid too much of that and deliver a readable account of software development and culture. --David Wall Read more
