  Cambria - Because Two People...

  Off the California coast, sits a small town split by the Pacific Coast Highway and in this town actually stood a salmon colored Victorian home where a not so young couple first learned how to trust. 
  This was my second marriage. I was in my forties with a divorce under my belt, a job I hated, and then this woman comes into my life making games of my fears. She came from a world I had never known, one that wasn’t so cruel and dangerous. 
  We married and travelled our little corner of the world together just before the 2008 recession hit, causing a career I thought I had built for myself to crumble just as a dream I had always denied became my only option. 
  And I think the only thing that held us together, that held me together during that difficult time was trust. Trust isn’t something you see too much of anymore. It’s been replaced by confirmation, notarization, and security codes. But, without trust, I would never have even met Vicky, she and I would never have been wed, and we would never have made it to Cambria. 
  Worse still, without trust we never would have lived in that big, pink, Victorian home on the California coast, travelled back to the 1960s, sailed a living room east of the Pacific, made friends with a golden retriever, or spoke with a cow. 
  It was from out of all of this but also for all of this that I recorded my third autobiographical monologue: Cambria. 
  All because two people fell in love.

  36 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and Deception 
  Three Book Collection: Volumes 16, 17, and 18 of the True Crime Case Histories Series 
  Journey into the darkest corners of the human psyche with thirty-six meticulously researched accounts of unspeakable crimes that shocked communities and challenged our understanding of evil. 
  From sprawling estates to quiet small towns, these cases reveal how murderous intent can hide behind the most ordinary facades—sometimes in places we least expect. 
  You'll hear about The Butcher of Aberdeen, where a troubled woman's violence escalates to an act so grotesque that even veteran police officers are left traumatized. Discover The House on Langworthy Road, where a desperate teenage girl endures seven horrifying days at the mercy of sadistic tormentors. Learn about The Unraveling, where a young mother's forty-four-year-old cold case finally reveals its shocking truth through a forgotten clue. 
  Other chilling stories include The Dark Web Assassin, where cryptocurrency payments lead to a Minnesota murder plot far more shocking than anyone imagined, and The Greek Pilot, whose fairy-tale promises to his teenage bride mask a monster hiding in plain sight. 
  You'll also hear about Apartment 9, where a college student's secure life becomes a nightmare of blood and bleach, and The Bedroom Basher, whose reign of terror continued while an innocent man paid the price for police failures. 
  These cases expose the depths of human depravity—glimpses into the abyss of pure evil. While we may never fully comprehend what drives killers to commit such heinous acts, studying these histories provides valuable insights into the darkest capabilities of the human mind.

  Visual Friendlies Tally Target -...

  Visual Friendlies, Tally Target: Surges continues the story of the role of forward air controllers (JTACs) and Close Air Support (CAS), picking up in 2006 and continuing through 2013. This volume covers the evolution of Joint Fires through the colloquial "second phase" of the War on Terror—the "surges" of Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2010–2011. Vol. II recounts the evolution of air power during the rising counterinsurgencies, as well as the psychology and mental makeup of these exclusive tribes. Notable accounts include the recovery mission of EXTORTION17, the first withdrawal from Iraq, previously unreported missions against insurgent strongholds, and instances where the situational awareness and decision-making of forward air controllers prevented civilian casualties and fratricide. 
   
   
   
  The story carries with it a continuation of the strategic lessons learned from America's longest war: where tactical successes and innovation failed to achieve a strategic outcome amidst ambiguous grand strategy, flawed policy and a failure to understand the new battlefields of the twenty-first century, as recounted by the men whose air power tribes went into the breach again and again. Volume II concludes as the "War on Terror" nominally ended in 2013, as the final phase of the post-9/11 wars transitioned to the "Train, Advise, and Assist" missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  Twenty-one years after the publication of his landmark debut collection Yellow, Don Lee returns to the short story form for his sixth book, The Partition.  
   
  The Partition is an updated exploration of Asian American identity, this time with characters who are presumptive model minorities in the arts, academia, and media. Spanning decades, these nine novelistic stories traverse an array of cities, from Tokyo to Boston, Honolulu to El Paso, touching  
  upon transient encounters in local bars, restaurants, and hotels.  
   
  Culminating in a three-story cycle about a Hollywood actor, The Partition incisively examines heartbreak, identity, family, and relationships—the characters searching for answers to universal questions: Where do I belong? How can I find love? What defines an authentic self?
