  Adam Turner works the lonely mid-dawn shift at his local radio station. From midnight to 6 a.m., he fills the quiet hours with old tunes, aimless chatter, and calls from the occasional night owl. It’s a far cry from his glory days a decade ago, when his voice was on prime-time radio and his name lit up billboards. Now, it’s just him, an empty studio, and a few listeners—drunk students heading home or truck drivers on long hauls.   
  At 12:45 a.m. one night, the routine shatters. The caller’s voice is cold, the stakes chilling: “Stay live on air until dawn, or this woman dies.”   
  For the rest of the night, Adam is trapped in a dangerous game. The caller’s questions cut deep, forcing him to confront his fall from grace and air his secrets for all to hear. As the hours drag on, Adam races to uncover who’s behind the call and what they really want, all while staying on the line to keep a stranger alive.   
  But when the truths get darker and the demands more personal, Adam faces an impossible choice: How much of himself will he sacrifice to save someone he’s never met?

  Doctoral student Holland Reeves may have aced every class she's ever taken, but when it comes to life outside her lab, she's beginning to realize she doesn't have one. In fact, she has more meaningful relationships with test tubes and pipettes than with people. Wishing to change that, she reluctantly agrees to attend an old friend's wedding. The only problem is, it means she has to return to Paradise. The small coastal town that once upon a time lived up to its name, that was, until he—Porter Clairborne—left her without even saying goodbye. It's fine, it's all fine. She has better things to do than be ridiculously happy and in love. Things like finding a cure for heart disease. 
   
   
   
  But when she returns to Paradise, she gets way more than she bargained for. Porter, the prodigal son, has returned—unbeknownst to her—and he has more on his mind than just helping his family's business, the Clairborne Resort. He's determined to win back the woman who captured his heart several summers ago. Lucky for him, Holland has a little mishap that forces her to stay in Paradise a lot longer than she expected. 
   
   
   
  Now together, Holland and Porter must decide if first love deserves a second chance. Will Paradise once again live up to its name? Or will it remain a town of broken dreams?

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  Nightmares are plaguing me.
  
  I wake up smelling sulfur, feeling my skin burning, knowing that I'm burning to death on the surface of Abaddon, but I'm not. I'm on Sel'Ani, my father's home planet. I'm alive and using my true name and finally free to be myself. And yet, I'm completely falling apart.
  
  Every time I wake up screaming, Lorne is there. I don't understand how he knows when I need him, but he does, and even if I can't say the words aloud, I'm so thankful that he's there. Because I wouldn't survive this without him.
  
  It's not just my nightmares and exhaustion and trauma making this hard.
  
  I thought escaping Earth, Abaddon, and SpaceTech would mean I was safe, but I'm not. The Aunare don't want me here, mostly because if I'm here that means my betrothal to the heir to the Aunare High Throne is back on. I would call it off, but I can't seem to make myself say the words because Lorne is the heir.
  
  
  Everything in me is drawn to Lorne, the man that haunted my dreams, the man that lures me in with his every look, the man that I can't seem to get away from because everywhere I go, every time I need him, he's there.
  
  Lorne makes me forget that the Aunare hate me enough to send assassins to kill me.
  
  I can't resist him. Lorne makes me think that everything is possible, that I will be okay, that I should just say yes to him. Because being with him means that I will eventually become the High Queen of the Aunare, and I'm not sure I can do that job. I'm not sure I should.
  
  Because the Aunare hate me for being a half-Earther, and I'm just one more assassination attempt away from being dead.

  Unchipped: The Last American - A...

  In a world increasingly immersed in AI and technological augmentation, we might do well to consider how the not-too-distant future may unfold. From the book's back cover: 
  "They took the world over right before our eyes, using tools that promised to make things better for all of us. We watched it happen. We helped them." -- from my Grandfather's first book, The Last American. 
  Forty three minutes ago, as I was scavenging in what I thought was an abandoned West Ginny mine, a destroyer drone sealed the entrance for no apparent reason. Leaving me to contemplate the end of it all. 
  Not far from where I sit, there is a caricature of bones on the ground. Someone's sick joke, or a homage to the end of life itself. Or perhaps a warning. And then, deeper in the cavern, I hear muffled moans. A faint squeal. A small girl--no, a thirteen year-old woman--emerges. She seems rude at first, but we are fast becoming friends. She is lovely. And special. And soon I learn why she is here, hiding from the privilege she was born into. 
  Am I now to fulfill the prophecy my parents laid upon my head? Do I dare fall into that made-up story in service of a girl I just met? A girl I love right from the start? 
  The journey to Sanctuary cuts across the wilds of West Ginny and through more than a few places where chippers will be watching for whatever reward their masters have levied upon this girl's head. And then through the unnamed revolution that my brother and parents fight. I have longed for adventure, but hoped to nibble at its edges before sinking my teeth full in. But I have taken her under my charge and made her my sister. I have made a promise. 
  And promises must needs be kept
