Inside Voicesby Sarah Davis

The mind is a strange beast…extraordinary, unpredictable, protective.

Penny Osborn’s mind is no exception. In High School, Penny witnessed a massacre and lost her father to the same killers. She had seen it unfold before it happened, in a premonition, but could not prevent it.

A college research project at the edge of the Arctic is her chance for a new beginning. Struggling with PTSD, Penny’s therapy includes running, dogs, and guitars. Yet her fresh start is plagued by new premonitions, dark and foreboding, that coincide with a rising number of murders in the community. Her visions are vague, offering little to identify the killer.

When confronted with an orphaned polar bear cub, Penny risks everything to save its life. The deepening mystery of the murdered women, coupled with the exhaustive duties of caring for the small cub, draw her closer to her friend, Noah, and further from her sister.

Fearful for the serial killer’s next target, Penny discovers where her physical abilities can help her.

Will letting go of the past lead to healing? And can she stop the murders?

Dragon and Thief (The Dragonback Series Book 1)by Timothy Zahn

The first novel in the Dragonback series is “a romp of a space thriller” (Booklist) from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: Thrawn.

Jack Morgan is dealing with more trouble than any young man deserves. Raised to be a professional thief and con artist by his late uncle Virgil, he’s survived on his uncle’s spaceship with the help of an AI program. But when he’s accused of a crime he actually didn’t commit, Jack is forced to flee to a remote, uninhabited planet where he can stay off the radar for a while.

His solitude is soon interrupted when a ship crashes on Jack’s hideout after a terrible space battle. There’s only one survivor: a warrior called Draycos, whose reptilian race is being targeted for extinction.

The good news is that if Jack helps Draycos, the odd creature might be able to help clear Jack’s name. The not-so-good news is that to survive, Draycos must bond–physically and mentally–with a sentient being to use as his “host.”

And it looks like Jack is the only sentient being around . . .

The Happy Mind: A Simple Guide to Living a Happier Life Starting Todayby Kevin Horsley

Discover The Power of a Happy Mind

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Unlimited Memory comes a new book on finding happiness in life using the power of your mind.

Happiness is more than just a feeling–it’s a learned skill. When you master the habits of happiness, your life will be filled with more peace, purpose, and passion.

The search for happiness is fundamental for all humans, and the answers lie within the depths of your mind.

In The Happy Mind, you’ll discover valuable insights for lasting happiness instead of being driven by short-term pleasure seeking.

You’ll find the answers to your most important questions:

• What do you need to do to be truly happy?
• How can you change the old habits, beliefs, and situations that make you unhappy?

These questions have led to many philosophical debates over thousands of years. The philosophers of Greece were famous for their quest to define the pillars of “the good life.” Faith-based movements have painstakingly crafted dogmas and prescribed behaviors in pursuit of ultimate peace and joy. Academic studies have been concentrated on finding the answer to “the optimal life experience.”

When you look at all the scientific research, religious teachings, and philosophical insights, you find one inescapable conclusion: you can learn to live a truly happy life, but you must come to understand one thing…

We All Experience Happiness Differently

What makes one person happy may make another miserable. There is no one key to happiness for everyone. Instead, the answers lie within you.

As Shakespeare wrote, “This above all, to thine own self be true.” When you find what makes you truly happy, you’ll have all the answers you need. This book will help you find your unique roadmap to happiness.

The aim of this book is not to push a specific method of achieving of happiness. Instead, you’ll discover valuable insights that will allow you to create lasting happiness for yourself instead of being driven by short-term pleasure-seeking.

In this book you will learn:

• How people search for happiness in all the wrong places, and how you can avoid these “happiness traps” that keep you stuck and unfulfilled
• Why most people mistake pleasure for happiness, and how this simple mistake causes you to lose sight of what really matters to you
• The nine common qualities that super happy people share (and how you can apply them to brighten up your life)
• The key traits of unhappiness (and the most important behaviors you should avoid)
• Easy changes you can make that will create more long-term happiness for you and your loved ones
