  Thief Stories is an exciting collection of adventure tales that captivate both children and adults alike. At the heart of these stories is a brave family — Mom, Dad, Tom, and Leo — and their constant nemesis, the cunning thief. The stories are set in various, often surprising locations, from the bustling streets of Hamburg to the icy expanses of the North Pole.Each story begins innocuously enough, but soon the heroes find themselves in thrilling chases where they must use all their skills and creativity to catch the thief. They rely on a mix of modern technology, such as their souped-up Lamborghini Gallardo with afterburner and flight capabilities, as well as clever tactics to outsmart the ever-elusive thief.Despite the action and suspense, humor and family bonds are never far from the forefront in Thief Stories. The family sticks together, no matter how dangerous the situation becomes. Together, they overcome every challenge, whether it’s a high-speed chase through the city or a rescue mission in freezing waters.Thief Stories offer a perfect blend of adventure, fantasy, and family unity. With their vivid and imaginative storytelling, these tales transport listeners into a world full of excitement and unexpected twists. At the same time, the stories convey values like togetherness, courage, and the importance of justice.Though the family manages to catch the thief time and again, the question remains: when and where will he strike next? And that’s what makes Thief Stories so engaging — they keep readers on the edge of their seats, eager for the next adventure.

  This early work by Mary Elizabeth Braddon was originally published in 1889 and we are now republishing it with a brand new biography of the author. 'The Day Will Come' is one of Braddon's novels in the sensation literature genre. Mary Elizabeth Braddon was born in Soho, London, England in 1835. She was educated privately in England and France, and at the age of just nineteen was offered a commission by a local printer to produce a serial novel "combining the humour of Dickens with the plot and construction of G. P. R. Reynolds" What emerged was Three Times dead, or The Secret of the Heath, which was published five years later under the title The Trail of the Serpent (1861). For the rest of her life, Braddon was an extremely prolific writer, producing more than eighty novels, while also finding time to write and act in a number of stage plays.

  My Cosmic Brain

  My story is about a man in his seventies, a pseudo scientist who has his brain removed from his skull and placed inside a lab aquarium - the 'Manaquarium' so that they can study his consciousness. (FYI - They removed Einstein's brain but only checked out his basic anatomy and found that he had way more glial cells than the rest of us - what a waste.)  In this case, they get a bit further down the road.  Our hero, Henry has made it his life's goal to learn more about the connections of the human soul to the rest of the vastness of space/time.  Freed from the constraints of all of his biological functions, his mind is able to go where no man has gone before.   
  So - in the Think Tank and connected to the Super Lepton Collider, the upgraded Webb and Hubble Telescopes and the Very Large Array, Hank is able to discern something that appears to be the 2nd Big Bang! If you thought the first Big Bang was all there is, you have a huge shock in store for yourself.  As it turns out, they're going on all over the place and sometimes, they even collide into one another and cause havoc over large sections of the universe. 
  This is also a love story that connects the reader to the meaning and purpose of Cosmic Consciousness but in a completely new way - it's Science.    
  All of this plays out against the background of our planet on fire and all life on Earth on the verge of extinction - even the oceans catch fire - (taken from actual recent headlines.) But cruising closer to the 2nd Big Bang with the aid of Jeff Bezos and his new Space company - everything works out in the end and all of human life becomes justified at last - but in a slightly different and higher context than the way we justify ourselves at the present..   
  I don't want to give away the ending. I'm hopeful that I've done Arthur C. Clarke and Kurt Vonnegut proud.
