  Office Call - A Mathematician’s...

  Office Call by Charles E. Fritch - When brilliant mathematician Charles T. Moore steps into Dr. Rawlings’ office, he carries a groundbreaking revelation that could redefine the very fabric of reality. But as he grapples with the terrifying implications of his discovery—mind control and the potential to traverse alternate universes—will he find the help he needs or push the boundaries of sanity even further? 
  Dr. Rawlings sighed a long sigh born of frustration and impatience and went wearily to the bookcase. Almost methodically he removed a large gold-titled volume of Freud's A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis and withdrew the bottle from its hiding place. The bottle was half filled with an amber fluid which jiggled pleasantly as he held it in an unsteady hand, observing with a practiced eye how gaily it sparkled in the late afternoon sunlight. Then from the cavity he also extracted a small whiskey glass. 
  He took these tools to his desk, poured himself a stiff one, downed it, flopped into his swivel chair and closed his eyes. Chicken farms, he thought. He felt the fiery liquid seep through him, warming his insides with its silent flame, bringing a pleasant glow of satisfaction to his mind. 
  He closed his eyes tighter and regarded the darkened world with a calmness that was somehow conducive to rational thought even in this irrational world. To thought and to sleep, he realized suddenly, as he found his head tilting. 
  He rose quickly, blinking off the effects of the liquor, and carefully returned the utensils to their proper niche behind the volume of Freud on the bookshelf. Good old Freud, he thought, always knew he'd come in handy one of these days.

  FINDING THEIR MISSING GRANDMA   WILL BE  NO SMALL FEAT!    Rubi and her much more daring--and skateboard-obsessed--brother, Quinn, are visiting their grandmother on beautiful Vashon Island for the weekend. It's the first time they've taken the ferry from Seattle by themselves. But weirdly, when they arrive, Nana is nowhere to be found!   Then their Uncle James lets them in on a little secret:  Bigfoot  may have been spotted! And their Nana isn't  any  old grandma--she's the most famous Bigfoot hunter around! Trouble is, Nana should've returned by now. And nobody in all of Puget Sound has seen her! At least... nobody  human.   Rubi and Quinn will have to follow the footprints (and scat!), crack the clues, and rely on each other to find their Nana and bring her home... that is, unless Bigfoot finds them  first !

  In the arcane apothecary of Elixirion, where potions simmer with stolen kisses and rogue spellbreakers shatter spells with thief's cunning, alchemist Mira brews an elixir for breaker Jax, whose kiss-stealing lips cure her bound magic. Their simmering, vialed in potion vows, cures the heart—or poisons it with addictive brews. As they stir through glow-lit labs and kiss-haunted vaults, raided by potion rivals and curse menders, Mira's alchemical brew merges with Jax's rogue shatter, revealing a potion legend of kissed cure. When a spilled vial unleashes mutation mists, they must kiss the simmer to distill the antidote. In the bubble of arcane elixirs, where every kiss infuses desire and every potion heals the soul's fracture, their love becomes the brew that frees the enchanted.

  What if legends, myths, and superstitions … were all true? 
   
  Antares de la Vega is an adventurer at heart. He dreams of journeying across burning deserts, trekking through wild and uncharted jungles, sailing the farthest reaches of the seas—and yet, he’s never stepped foot outside of South Florida. 
   
  Until strange creatures come leaping out of lightning bolts to kidnap him.  
   
  Locked away in a secret prison in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, Antares meets Magdavellía, a mysterious and iron-willed girl who opens his eyes to a shocking truth: This world is a far different—and weirder—place than he’s been led to believe. Every strange rumor, every  
  wild theory, is based on truth.  
   
  After they escape the prison, Antares and Magdavellía must set out beyond the edges of any map in search of a legendary artifact—and Antares’s parents, who have been missing most of his life. The two of them must wield geometry and alchemy, outsmart molemen and mermaids,  
  and outrun fiendish aliens … all while attempting to solve a riddle as old and mystifying as the sun.
