  Outrageous and wickedly fun! If Douglas Adams and Jane Austen had a robot love child... 
  Ronny Cologne IV will do anything to keep the trust fund. Attend “bored” meetings. Kiss a**. Even flush away twenty years Earth-time on Father’s interstellar cruise. But a drink on the spaceliner with Allison Gin, genius programmer, leaves a weight on his chest. She’s as much a Company slave as he is. Drinks lead to confessions, confessions to love—now Ronny’s gotta rescue them both from Father’s clutches...except the cutthroat billionaire has set a dastardly trap for Ronny on Earth. Allison’s no fool. Her pure untested AI just might save her career and the rest of humanity, too, assuming she can stop Ronny from screwing the future first. 
  Author RT Swindoll presents Gin & Cologne:a big, binge-able comedy adventure in three actsa technological farce, driven by relatable characters (and their neuroses)a cheeky space opera, dripping with heart, and accessible to adult readers of all stripes 
  Is serial entrepreneur Ronal Cologne a thinly veiled metaphor for another space tech billionaire? You decide. 
  Meet Argyle the Barbot, an AI disaster-artist just self-aware enough to know when to drug you, pop a switchblade, or kick your nihilism about the future in the cajones. 
  Flavor notes: hints of disaster capitalism, salty sardonic bite, silly romantic body, unabashed aftertaste of hope. Sip or toss down—sits well, either way. 
  About RT Swindoll: Wonder for the Modern Mind. Anxious are the wonder-starved. So many wonders cross vast distances to touch our lives, only to fall unseen and unheard, and we moderns are restless in the absence. I write to pierce the veils that shroud our senses and reveal the wonder in our midst. Come settle into a story of cosmic significance.

  A universal recipe for when life feels barren. A botanical tale of closeness and caring.
  Anna is mourning the end of her marriage when she runs into Maria by chance at her mother's gallery in Milan. When Maria suddenly collapses and is taken to hospital, the pair's lives are irrevocably changed.
  Over the course of the long, dry summer that follows, the pair come together to convalesce. Maria, an avid gardener, observes half-dead plants on Anna's terrace, and finds solace in teaching Anna how to care for them. In doing so, the pair also begin to care for each other's loneliness, and find in the natural world a deeply restorative power – one that will open them up to new love and life.
  In We Will Be Forest, Ilaria Bernardini draws on a private affair – illness, the end of a marriage, a child to protect – to bring to life a powerful poetic universe in which words sprout like branches and leaves.

  Edna Ferber: THE HOMELY HEROINE...

  Who ever heard of a plain and downright homely heroine? Isn't a heroine by definition beautiful? Well, Edna Ferber, in her well known style that later produced Show Boat and Giant, tells us about just such a heroine in the first of these four special short stories. They are special to me because of their insight into the deep courage and faith of 'ordinary' people, people like most of us. And of course our failings and frailties and sometimes, the prince does not marry the right person. The other stories are A Bush League Hero, What she Wore and The Man Who Came Back.
