What happens when dreams become more real than reality? Twenty-two-year-old Artist has spent years trapped in a gray existence-mindless data entry by day, empty wasteland dreams by night. Then a mysterious girl with a violin made of starlight appears in his sleep, transforming his barren dreamscape into floating gardens of impossible beauty. Justine feels more real than anyone he's ever met in his waking life. Their shared dreams become elaborate worlds where they dance among the stars and fall deeper in love each night. But when Artist discovers Justine playing violin in a downtown park, the boundaries between sleeping and waking begin to dissolve completely. Coffee shop workers remember conversations that never happened. Impossible flowers appear on pillows. Reality bends around their love-until suddenly, Justine vanishes from both worlds entirely, leaving Artist to question whether their perfect love was real or just an elaborate creation of his lonely mind. A haunting exploration of connection in an age of isolation, Between Dreams and Waking asks whether love can transcend the boundaries of consciousness itself. This is a story about finding someone who sees the magic in your name, the beauty in your dreams, and the person you truly are beneath the surface of ordinary life. Some loves are too powerful for just one reality to contain. Written in collaboration with AI, exploring what happens when human creativity and artificial intelligence work together to tell the most human story of all: finding love in impossible places.

It was just a link in an email. Michael Housen is living a typical, white-collar American life at a security company when he falls for a phishing campaign with dire implications. One click, and suddenly the US is under marshal law and bombing Tehran. Michael unknowingly triggered a cyberattack by Iranian hackers, which a belligerent President Davis uses as pretext for war against Iran. Michael blinks and he and his wife, Pam, are thrown into private prisons owned by the president, a multibillionaire tycoon. This ordinary couple suddenly must answer a harrowing question: What do you do when the enemy of the state is you? And they find themselves cooperating with extraordinary partners, from right-wing militias to Iranian documentarians, as they work to clear their names and stop the global conflict that Michael set off with an unwitting click. Written by a renowned cybersecurity attorney and a bestselling author, A Quiet Life is a cyberthriller for the times that we all live in, and how we can lose everything on the strength of a lie. And how once we start fighting back, we cannot stop.

Twenty-first-century America isn't working the way it's supposed to. This book explains why. Americans in the twenty-first century are becoming increasingly untethered from both reality and the essential principles and traditions that have shaped the nation's historic success. A big part of why America isn't working is because far too many Americans neither know nor care how it's supposed to work. "William Cooper presents an insightful, sensitive, and accessible account of the trials that face American democracy in the twenty-first century. This fair- and broad-minded volume makes compelling reading for those who are looking to build a better democracy." Alexander Yen, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford "Partisanship fuels personal convictions more than ever in our society, and convictions fuel mysided thinking and other cognitive biases. At no time have we needed this discussion of bias and partisan thinking more than now." Keith E. Stanovich, author of The Bias That Divides Us

Donald Trump's relationship with the rule of law is toxic. Trump neither understands nor respects the legal system. And his opponents sometimes fail to apply reasoned legal judgment to his unprecedented words and deeds.The sum total of this combination has been years of frenzied misjudgment - on both sides of the aisle. This collection of columns, previously published in newspapers around the world, looks at two things through the lens of the law: The presidency of Donald J. Trump and the response to the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

Individuals suffering from psychiatric or substance use disorders sometimes display any one of a number of frightening behaviors: verbal outbursts, physical threats and even violence. Not only Corporate Security, Human Resources, Executive Protection, and Loss Prevention Professionals, but anyone who works may be forced to deal with such individuals. In this comprehensive guidebook, Ellis Amdur and William Cooper offer everyone a comprehensive set of strategies to keep themselves, those they may be responsible for protecting, as well as the general public safe while functioning at the highest level of professionalism. The first sections of this book focus on tactical concerns: threat assessment, tactical planning and the development of a safety mindset. In the second major section of the book, the authors focus on us: what we can do to achieve a state of integrity and powerful calm. Rather than abstract pronouncements, they offer specific strategies, including a method of breathing for the purpose of maintaining one's own center in crisis situations. In the heart of the book, they discuss specific behaviors ranging from confusion and obsessive concerns to psychosis, mania and acute disorganization. In two very important chapters, they discuss interactions with opportunistic and manipulative individuals (at worst, those referred to as psychopaths), people who present a danger to the psychological and physical well-being of anyone with whom they come in contact. They then move on a discussion of aggression, and how to de-escalate aggressive and chaotic individuals once a crisis begins. Amdur and Cooper elucidate the various motivations that drive aggression and further delineate the different types of aggression that result. De-escalation tactics are specific -- one learns how to immediately recognize what mode of aggression the person is displaying, and then, one can quickly and effectively implement the de-escalation tactics that are best suited to deal with the aggression one is facing. Final sections address staff members who function in specialized roles, including recommendations for training of support personnel and new hires.

THE INSIDE STORY NO ONE ELSE DARES PUBLISH NEWS FLASH -- EAGAR, ARIZONA On November 5, William Cooper was shot to death by sheriff deputies in an exchange of gunfire, fulfilling his often-stated wish to go out in a blaze of glory. News of Cooper's death spread quickly via the Internet, as friend and foe aline posted letters and tributes describing their past, often confrontational, encounters with an individual many consider to be the most controversial man in American history. But who was Bill Cooper Was he a true patriot? A tough survivalist? Or simply a fanatic? Some knew him as a UFO "expert" (having claimed insider information on the governments actual knowledge of extraterrestrials living amongst us)...A conspiracy theorist...a former Navy Intelligence operative...and the person the President once called "the most dangerous man on American airwaves." Here is the INSIDE STORY as told by a fellow patriot and government whistle blower. COMMANDER X claims close "ties" to various branches of the government and like Cooper sees himself as a foe of the New World Order. Commander X has collected together for the first time Cooper's thoughts and finds on such subjects as: * The Illuminati. * The Kennedy Assassination. * MJ 12 and the UFO Cover-UP. * Area 51. * The Anti Christ. * The World Trade Center Disaster. * Gun Control. * The Constitution. * Skull and Bones Society. Cooper always said he acted from his "conscience" and sought to warn all Americans of the dangers of the New World Order, creeping socialism and our own brand of Nazism. Was his death accidental -- or something more SINISTER? Perhaps you can judge better after reading DEATH OF A CONSPIRACY SALESMAN
