The 1960's - A Decade of Change...

Harry Montgomery

The 1960s opened with a sense of cautious optimism in America. Following the stability of the postwar 1950s, the country was on the brink of transformation. The seeds of change were being planted by a young and increasingly restless population. The rise of youth culture signaled a break from the conservatism of their parents’ generation. Young people began questioning authority, traditional values, and the social norms that had shaped American life for decades. Television became a powerful force in shaping ideas, music spread messages of rebellion, and college campuses buzzed with debates over justice and freedom. Teenagers and young adults embraced new forms of expression, setting the stage for a cultural revolution.
At the heart of this evolving decade was the civil rights movement, which had already begun stirring in the 1950s. In the early years of the sixties, the push for racial justice gained momentum, marked by nonviolent protests, sit-ins, and mass marches. African Americans, particularly in the South, fought against systemic racism and demanded equal treatment under the law. Martin Luther King Jr. became a prominent voice during this time, advocating for civil disobedience and peaceful protest. As the movement grew, so did the urgency for legislation that would challenge segregation and discrimination. The activism of this period began to awaken a broader consciousness about social injustice, laying the groundwork for other rights movements to follow.
On the global stage, the Cold War continued to cast a long shadow over American life. The rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union defined much of the political atmosphere. The threat of nuclear conflict loomed, and the government’s efforts to contain communism influenced both foreign and domestic policy.

The Halo Effect - How First...

William Rands

First impressions are powerful, shaping how we view others and influencing the course of relationships, careers, and countless daily interactions. Within moments of meeting someone, our minds form lasting judgments about their personality, abilities, and intentions. This cognitive phenomenon, known as the Halo Effect, demonstrates how a single positive or negative trait can influence our overall perception of a person or situation, often without us realizing it. 
The roots of the Halo Effect lie in our evolutionary past. Early humans relied on quick assessments to determine whether someone was friend or foe, a survival mechanism critical for navigating uncertain environments. Although we no longer live in those circumstances, this instinct to make rapid judgments persists. A confident handshake, an engaging tone, or even a well-chosen outfit can create an impression that shapes interactions long after the first encounter. 
What makes the Halo Effect so pervasive is its ability to affect areas far beyond its origin. A charismatic leader may be assumed to be more competent simply because they appear confident. A teacher’s initial positive impression of a student can lead to more favorable evaluations throughout the year. Even brands use this effect by associating their products with appealing celebrities or influencers, leading consumers to view the brand itself in a more favorable light.

Tour Wars

Carla Luna

Ten days, two rivals, and a busload of tourists. How bad could it be? 
For archaeologist Emilia Flores, landing a fellowship to work at the ancient ruins of Pompeii in Italy is a dream come true. The only catch? She’ll be digging alongside her infuriating nemesis, TJ Mayer, who’s been a constant thorn in her side. 
TJ isn’t about to pass up the Pompeii project. Sure, he’ll be stuck working with Emilia, but he thrives on challenging her. And he hasn’t forgotten that secret kiss they shared at an archaeology conference last winter. 
Though unearthing Pompeii’s treasures might be a dream, student debt is a nightmare that never takes a vacation. So, when TJ and Emilia are offered a lucrative side job to lead a ten-day tour through southern Italy, they grudgingly agree to tackle it together. 
Forced to set aside their animosity and work as a team, they forge an unexpected camaraderie. As the sparks between them ignite, their rivalry gives way to passion, making it easy to forget their years of fierce competition. But what happens when the tour ends and the real world steps in? 
Tour Wars is a rivals-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance featuring a nerdy cinnamon roll hero, a strong-willed Latina heroine, and plenty of hotel hijinks. It can be read as a standalone.
