  Moving Target - The Obedient...

  Book 2 of the Moving Target Trilogy 
  Stevie Parker thought the hard part was over. 
  She survived the phishing. The elder fraud. The romance scam that hit too close to home. She read the book, made the changes, and came out the other side prepared. Then her company got a private equity offer and someone handed her the keys to an AI rollout and told her to move fast. 
  She moved fast. 
  Moving Target: The Obedient Machine follows Stevie through the decisions that looked completely reasonable in the moment — the AI tools adopted without vetting, the policy approved without reading, the vendor demo that checked every box, the employee who was not who the resume said. Twelve mistakes in Book 1 were personal. The mistakes in this book belong to the entire organization. And the consequences are proportional. 
  Alongside Stevie's story, each chapter pulls back the curtain on a real crime operation: deepfake voice cloning, synthetic identity fraud, AI-assisted business email compromise, prompt injection, model poisoning, and the insider threat that was hiding in plain sight for eleven months before anyone looked. All of it documented. None of it theoretical. 
  This is not a book about artificial intelligence. It is a book about who is actually in control of it. The machine does not have an agenda. It is obedient. The problem is what it is being told to do, and by whom. 
  Perfect for: Anyone who adopted AI tools without a governance framework. Business leaders who approved a policy without reading it. Anyone who watched the PE deal fall apart and wondered how. Anyone who thought the breach was the worst thing that could happen — right before something worse happened. 
  This is Book 2 in the trilogy. Book 3: Ghost and the Machine -- Coming Fall 2026. Stevie stops being findable. The criminals lose the target. The machine is hers alone.

  The Book Of Earths

  Edna Kenton

  This is a compendium of theories of the shape of the Earth, along with a great deal of 'Earth Mystery' lore. Richly illustrated, the Book of Earths includes many unusual theories, including Columbus' idea that the Earth is literally pear-shaped, modern theories that the Earth was originally tetrahedral, and so on. Kenton also covers many traditional theories including the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, and those of the Peruvians, Aztecs and Mongols. She also discusses modern alternative theories such as that of Reed and Koresh. Strangely enough, she misses or ignores the modern flat earth theory of Rowbotham. This is the only apparent omission in this definitive study. Kenton has no apparent axe to grind: this is simply a very readable survey of the literature if you have any interest in 'Earth mysteries"

  The Jupiter Sun - The Greatest...

  This idea came to me from an earlier work of Science Fiction of mine - The Book To End All Books - by Michael Mathiesen.  In the story, the main character lands her first job out of college in helping in the Jupiter Project - which consists of igniting Jupiter into our second sun.  In doing the research for my story, to make it more realistic, I found that scientists had already used red lasers to create fusion reactions in the lab.  These were obviously small enough so that they didn't burn down the whole state of Nebraska.  They used just a few atoms of Hydrogen to test their theory.  And, it worked producing fusion energy for the first time, but now replicated many hundreds of times around the world. So, this means that by upscaling our nuclear fusion reaction and creating huge amounts of energy, all we have to do is put this same kind of laser cannons on the four largest moons of Jupiter and fire into the center of the mass of Jupiter because it's completely Hydrogen gas, Hydrogen plasma and even Hydrogen so dense it's called 'Metallic'.  This mimics the conditions of our sun over 6 billion years ago when it was also a huge gas ball and only needed a spark to ignite its main ingredient into the gigantic fusion reaction that gives all the energy that all life on planet Earth needs.  A 2nd Sun would solve all our energy problems I reasoned and the impacts would be all positive.In this book, we go over the details of how NASA and hopefully Spacex and Blue Origins can get together and create a mission to create a 2nd sun in the sky.  Imagine how other civilizations all around the universe who are able to look up into the sky around their planets with telescopes and instruments as powerful as ours and they notice a completely new star blazing into the night sky.  They might even be able to conclude that this star had to have been created by an intelligent life form, a life form that may have achieved something no other life form had ever done before.

  Moodshine - A Caregiver's Journey

  Liz Colvin

  When Liz Colvin’s bright, funny, “hippie‑hearted” daughter Maggie began to unravel in her Austin apartment, it resembled a bad dream—a dead neighbor’s dog, sleepless nights, a growl “like a thousand ghouls,” and a mother suddenly fighting for her child’s life with nothing but love and a metaphorical butter knife. 
  Moodshine: A Caregiver’s Journey is Liz’s unflinching, deeply human memoir of learning—again and again—how to care for a loved one with serious mental illness without losing herself. From a traumatic birth and an early ADHD diagnosis, through psychosis, bipolar disorder, addiction, hospitalizations, and relapses, Liz pulls back the curtain on what caregiving actually looks like behind closed doors: sleepless nights, police at the door, dream‑crushing phone calls from Disney World and college, and even hauling her daughter’s belongings out of a Dumpster after a psychotic episode. 
  Interwoven in the heartbreak is a story of fierce joy. On her journey, Liz introduces readers to the village that helped keep Maggie alive—a tough grandmother wielding safety pins and scripture, a therapist who is herself living with schizophrenia, a gruff Nigerian stepfather, faithful friends, and a stubborn little rescue dachshund named Lolly. She shares the tools that helped them survive and the solace found in faith, humor, and the determination to keep showing up when walking away would be easier. 
  For caregivers drowning in guilt, fear, and isolation, Moodshine is a lifeline. It offers practical resources, hard‑won wisdom, and one powerful reminder after another that you are not alone, you are not failing, and healing is possible—even if “normal” never looks the way you imagined.
