  England, 1942. “It has to stay secret,” he whispers, placing the locket around her neck. “If they find it, they’ll send me away.” As she holds the locket, glinting in the moonlight, she can’t hold back the tears. “I just wish we didn’t have to hide…”  
  When farmer’s daughter Irene meets Theodore at a village dance, sparks fly instantly. The war has brought him all the way from Louisiana to build a US airbase just across her father’s fields, but as they sway together, there is nothing else in the world. Only his gentle touch and his deep brown eyes.  
  But being together comes at a price. As Theodore is Black, the might of the US Air Force is against them, and all the members of the little village community disapprove of their relationship. And they will all go to terrible lengths to tear the two young lovers apart...  
  Decades later, heartbroken Ruby is back at her family’s crumbling farmhouse for the first time in years, after the loss of her beloved grandmother Irene. The roof has fallen in, family photographs are damaged – and her grandmother’s jewellery is nowhere to be found.  
  When Ruby uncovers her grandmother’s waterlogged diaries, she discovers that Irene treasured one piece of lost jewellery above all. A locket from a man called Theodore. And the missing locket holds the key to unravelling a heartbreaking secret that changed her grandmother’s life…  
  Is someone in the village hiding the locket to keep the truth about Irene and Theodore buried? And can Ruby find a way to honour her grandmother’s memory ­– or in digging up the pain of the war, will she tear her family apart?

  In the United States of America, racism against Black women still reigns unjustly. From within the secluded judge’s chambers to the courthouse parking lot, I’ve gathered five different incidents where powerful Black women are forced to come face to face with being on the other side of the law. 
  We follow the stories of Desirée Mary Charbonnet, Gay Polk-Payton, Angela Stokes, Rhonda Crawford, and myself—we happen to be some of the most prestigious Black judges and attorneys in the legal system. Readers follow our experiences in the Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, and Illinois judicial systems as we explore the fascinating and intricate dynamic of women in positions of power. Desirée, Gay, Angela, Rhonda and I are connected by one simple, yet complex dynamic: Black womanhood. What will our endgame be as women who are committed to upholding and enforcing what is right? Will we succumb to the pressures of America’s hand, or will we push forward in the face of adversity?

  If an extra-dimensional Overseer provided us with undeniable proof that we are all in a simulation, would you be capable of finding value in your life knowing that it is artificial? What if you learned that there are Overseers feeding off of the suffering of earth humans within this and countless other simulations? Would you search for a way to escape, or is a chance at existence worth such a horrific price? If our Overseer presented you with a way to end the subjugation of all simulated humans, would you accept his offer, or would you hope that the next version of you will be brave enough to do so? 
  Pursue the answers to these and other baffling questions alongside an eclectic group of humans and robots who possess unique and fascinating abilities. Experience a sci-fi thriller driven by mind altering concepts and the craziest sound effects you’ve ever heard. Allow yourself to believe in a future where simulated humans are capable of manipulating the algorithm that is governing our existence. If we wish to prove that humans hold more value than the dark energy that is produced by our misery, then we will have to come together and develop a better understanding of who and what we are.  
  Seed Comm One is more than a great story, it is also a puzzle that can be solved without the need to see anything. To solve it, begin by listening to its key which is a theatrical work of music called "Puzzling Thoughts" by Miyuki's Mercy. That is where the listener will find specific sounds that can also be found in Seed Comm One, which mark important locations within the story. The puzzler will also find instructional and numerical clues in both bodies of work which will help them to discover and arrange all of the audio puzzle pieces that form the alphanumeric solution.
