Crow Planet: Essential Wisdom from the Urban Wildernessby Lyanda Lynn Haupt

There are more crows now than ever. Their abundance is both an indicator of ecological imbalance and a generous opportunity to connect with the animal world. Crow Planet reminds us that we do not need to head to faraway places to encounter "nature." Rather, even in the suburbs and cities where we live we are surrounded by wild life such as crows, and through observing them we can enhance our appreciation of the world's natural order.

Crow Planet richly weaves Haupt's own "crow stories" as well as scientific and scholarly research and the history and mythology of crows, culminating in a book that is sure to make readers see the world around them in a very different way.

The Father's Tree: … it's out there.by Crystal Jencks

The tale of the Garden of Eden is one of the most well-known and universally loved stories of all time, and Dr. Elise Harper and her team believe there’s more than a little truth to it. To prove the science books wrong and religious lore right, they trek into the Caucasus mountain ranges, amidst a world ravaged with war and apocalyptic tragedy.
But shortly into the expedition, events pivot dangerously. Nature and hidden supernatural forces interrupt their mission, and the team’s motivation transforms from finding the Tree of Life to simply maintaining life itself.
Complicating things, the group is infused with wild cards, which drive tensions even higher, keeping them guessing if the future brings a chance for new beginning, or a path leading to death.

Being Authentic: A Memoirby Morhaf Al Achkar

⚠ Our existence is fragile. I learned that in many intricate ways, so I do not take today for granted. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come. ⚠

◆ On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me. ◆

• The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic–we become our true selves when we author who we are.
• I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for. ★
• While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative.” 

♥ I need to be able to say, “This is my narrative.” ♥

Billionaire Bachelorby Ali Parker

Everyone seems to be in love but me. Why is that?

Relationship after relationship, and nothing.

I’m always the bridesmaid, but never the bride.

It’s getting old. Fast.

And just when I start to give up, he walks into my life.

Sexy, strong, older. The father of one of my students.

It’s against the rules to feel the way I do about him, but I can’t help myself.

A single father with a sexy demeanor and deep pockets.

But that’s not what gets me about him.

It’s the way he looks at me. As if he already owns me.

The relationship can be our little secret.

Or can it?

This is book 1 of a continued series. It will end in a cliffhanger. You will need to buy the other books to continue the story.

Come Go with Meby C. Morgan

I’m focused, which is a good thing and a really bad thing too.

My job has my attention. It should. I have a son to provide for.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much time for the boy.

Hiring a nanny is a must after he gets into some trouble that leaves me needing extra eyes on him.

But the woman I hire is everything I want in my life and in my bed.

A job takes me overseas and I have no choice but to offer her a great opportunity to go with us.

I don’t have time for family so I sure as hell don’t have time for love.

Funnily enough, love didn’t ask.

I’m drowning in desire around this vixen and falling for her more and more every day.

Watching her with my boy leaves me wanting so much more than a work arrangement with her.

But she’s protecting herself because she can’t have kids and is worried a good man won’t accept that.

She’s dead wrong. I’m getting her to leave that old life of condemnation and come follow me to something better.

Love. Warmth. Smoking-hot heat.
