    When artist Dominique receives a letter from her dying father, a reckoning with repressed memories and a pull for romantic and familial love sends shockwaves through her life, as she journeys to Paris to face the places and events of her early years.
    
    Balanced with visits to the Venezuelan Amazon, where Dominique explores a spiritual and loving longing (meeting a young guide, Juan), a raw and tender unfolding of this love story is a parallel to the uncovering of the shocking truth of Dominique's birth, and her parents' relationship.
    
    Pascale Petit's My Hummingbird Father is a beautifully lyrical debut novel in dialogue with Pascale's Ondaatje and Laurel Prize-winning poetry collection, Mama Amazonica.

    Naudsonce? What does THAT mean? Well, to find out you will need to listen to this story where Piper's unique mind explores what we mean by 'communication' and how it happens. The joint Space Navy-Colonial Office expedition was looking for new planets suitable for colonization; they had been out, now, for four years, which was close to maximum for an exploring expedition. They had entered eleven systems, and made landings on eight planets. Three had been reasonably close to Terra-type but were all disqualified by terrible animals or warlike inhabitants. Now, finally here was an ideal world; their last chance before returning in disgrace. Now the only thing was to get an agreement from the local king or whatever to the colonization. Easy, right? Well first, you've got to talk to them ...... and there the trouble starts. Listen to this captivating story by H. Beam Piper published in Analog Science Fact—Science Fiction, January 1962.

    I know exactly what I want in life—and it’s not a guy like Roman Powell. 
    He’s rigid. Rule-following. Uptight. Basically allergic to fun. So, not my type. 
    But when he’s on the cover of Business Success magazine as one of the nation’s Top 10 Young (and Single) CEOs, my two million subscribers want me to film a peek into his world. I can survive an interview with Mr. Serious for the sake of great content. Easy. 
    Except… nothing about the interview goes according to plan. 
    We’re talking about an angry deer, an exploding pickleball, a blanket fort that does not survive the night, and a dinner ambushed by my exes. Oh, and let’s not forget the growing pile of memes from viewers who are suddenly obsessed with us as an “opposites attract” love story. 
    But this isn’t a romcom. It’s real life. And in real life, I’m not going to fall for the wrong guy. 
    Right? 
    If you’re into witty banter, chaos, and heaps of chemistry with a big heart, you’ll love How to Not Fall for the Wrong Guy.
