Have you ever wished you could give your headaches to other people?My Lady Olives (Fantasy Romance/Mythology) is a captivating story of a modern incarnation of Athena. Olisbeth Mason is a shy, awkward girl who has suffered with migraines so frequently that she is a social outcast, a freak without friends. She is the only child of a retired Army First Sergeant, sheltered and protected by her father after her mother's mysterious disappearance when she was a young girl. Olisbeth is a know-it-all, finding comfort and relief from headaches in books and studies, and her great memory retention allows her to excel in academic pursuits. When she goes to college, she meets twin siblings Phoebe and Arthur Thomas. Phoebe, her roommate, is a vivacious medical student who is bright, charming, and hard to hate (even if she thinks she is the center of the Universe). Ladies' man Arthur is an athlete who goes from "dark and brooding" to "center of the party," sometimes even within a single day. He is a leader of one of the most popular fraternities on campus, and has fallen in love with Olisbeth. Soon, the twins become vital parts of Olisbeth's life, becoming her best friend (and boyfriend). They teach her how to spread her headaches to others. What is different about these three is that Phoebe is Apollo, Arthur is Artemis, and Olisbeth is Athena, all born in mortal bodies to live a life on Earth. And this incarnation of Athena is at the center of an ancient prophecy that will lead to her doom and cause dramatic changes to the face of Mount Olympus. Romantic, adventurous, and thought-provoking, My Lady Olives tells the story of the life of a 21st Century Athena.Exploring the life of gender-swapped gods: Artemis and Apollo.Athena in a modern, college setting: facing thoughts of sex, romance, and overbearing parental figuresSequel, My Lost Arthur, Available Now Scroll up and grab your copy today

Two places with the same name, a world apart; decades of malice and deception. A single act of betrayal casts a long shadow, but one act of pure love also echoes down the years. Claire is still a teenager when she sees the tall pillars of the Jardin De Les Etrangers against the blue Roussillon sky, and doesn't realise that her visit there will change her future forever. Sarah believes she has lost everything. Only in solitude does she have time to discover the secrets which mean she will never be alone again. From 1930 and the hidden crimes of Vichy France, to the present day and forgiveness; from the sun-baked vineyards of Roussillon, to the lush, green coast of Cornwall, a story of a friendship which knew no bounds, poisonous jealousy: and a love which refused to die.

Dr. James Hagen thought he'd bid Paranormal Security and Intelligence Agency good riddance nearly ten years back. He'd been an operative with them for so long that carving out a new path in life had taken time, but he'd achieved it. He'd made it his mission in life to help the wayward find a path again, to help those who couldn't help themselves. All that changed when he fell into enemy hands. Now, unable to fully heal and plagued by nightmares and choppy visions of what is to come, James isn't sure if he can keep going. That is, until he meets PSI's newest person of interest-a quirky, sexy cyberpunk who totally turns his world upside down.Laney Steele knows she's onto something. It doesn't matter that most have written her off as a conspiracy theorist and a hacktivist. She knows the government is hiding the existence of super soldiers who can shapeshift into animals. She's so sure that she puts herself on the line to find out more, only what she uncovers isn't exactly what she was hoping for, and it has a heck of a lot more to do with her than she ever thought possible. When her newfound online gamer buddy turns out to be a super soldier, she throws caution to the wind just for a chance to be with him. Neither one of them realize the enemy has been lurking, waiting for the perfect moment to strike-again.
How to Fall in Love with Anyone: A Memoir in Essays

"A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir" (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, "To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This," explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, "Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation" (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists' research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she'd read about--where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions--and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. "Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us" (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. "Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with--or curious about--the challenges of contemporary courtship" (The Toronto Star).
The inspiring true story of America's Got Talent Top Five Finalist Mandy Harvey--a young woman who became deaf at age nineteen while pursuing a degree in music--and how she overcame adversity and found the courage to live out her dreams. When Mandy Harvey began her freshman year at Colorado State University, she could see her future coming together right before her eyes. A gifted musician with perfect pitch, she planned to get a music degree and pursue a career doing what she loved. But less than two months into her first semester, she noticed she was having trouble hearing her professors. In a matter of months, Mandy was profoundly deaf. With her dreams so completely crushed, Mandy dropped out of college and suffered a year of severe depression. But one day, things changed. Mandy's father asked her to join him in their once favorite pastime--recording music together--and the result was stunningly beautiful. Mandy soon learned to sense the vibrations of the music through her bare feet on a stage floor and to watch visual cues from her live accompaniment. The result was that she now sings on key, on beat, and in time, performing jazz, ballads, and sultry blues around the country--and all the way to the final stage of America's Got Talent. Full of inspiring wisdom and honest advice, Sensing the Rhythm is a deeply moving story about Mandy's journey through profound loss, how she found hope and meaning in the face of adversity, and how she discovered a new sense of passion and joy.

The drug-fueled, never-ending party starts off as thrilling...but grows ever-terrifying. Too many blackout nights and scary decisions begin to add up. As she searches for the truth behind the fa ade, Mandy realizes that falling in love won't fix her--until she learns to accept herself first. This is a true New York fairy tale brought to life--Sex and the City on acid. Perfect for when "you feel stuck in some way and wish to become unstuck" (Caroline Kepnes), you'all soon see why Unwifeable is one of the best reviewed, most beloved memoirs of the year.
