22-year-old Heather is suffering from an epic case of burnout.

So, just like any other young influencer, she

abandons her social platforms. Check!

gathers up her best flowy dresses. Check!

and moves to a desolate cabin. Check!

Heather imagines spending her #unplugged days traipsing through the woods and tending to her garden. However, her cottagecore fantasy is turned upside down when a wounded cryptid crashes into her roof-and her heart.

With no help from her internet followers, and the local monster-hunter growing suspicious, Heather's quiet life in the wilderness has suddenly become a little more complicated. To make matters worse, she thinks she might be falling in love with the brooding winged man in her living room.

When Heather moved out to the woods, she never expected she'd fall in love with Mothman-much less get married to him.

Bachelorette parties are supposed to be fun, right? That is, until her night of fun in the faerie realm ends with Heather getting pulled through a portal-kidnapped by an impossible vampire king who swears to make her his bride. Determined not to be a damsel, Heather hatches her escape plan using her greatest weapons: her charm and her cell phone. But with a vampire determined to make her his bride, she may be in over her head.

After years alone, Moth can't believe that soon he'll be married to his flame. But with Heather missing and his memories of Eclipsica foggy, his world is shaken. The cryptid will not only need to sheath his claws and work with his friends to find his bride, but he will have to contend with something even more challenging: his future mother-in-law.

Like a moth to a flame, Moth and Heather will always find each other... but will it be in time for the wedding?

Heather's cozy life with her cryptid boyfriend just got a little more complicated.

When 23-year-old Heather started dating Mothman, she anticipated a few surprises. Getting transported to the faerie realm he was banished from? Yeah, that was a surprise.

Heather was sure dating a forest monster meant she wouldn't have to impress his family, but faced with the royal court of Eclipsica, she realizes things might not be so simple.

The former influencer must trade her quiet #cottagecore aesthetic for a lavish #royalcore week in a new world filled with creatures, ballgowns, and secrets. With Moth's family to impress, old friends resurfacing, and his memories returning, Heather begins to question their future. As the grand ball gets closer and Moth creeps out of bed in the middle of the night, Heather can't help but wonder: can their cozy cottage in the woods compete with a castle?

A surprisingly fun jaunt into the convoluted wilds of the English language!
Sentence Diagramming 101: Fun with Linguistics (and Movies) explores the relationship between words using traditional sentence diagramming and amusing movie references. Inside this textbook, you'll find detailed explanations as well as 50+ film-focused practice exercises, and on the companion website, you can explore the answer key, informative videos, additional practice, and lively discussions about the English language.
One abiding question often accompanies any discussion of traditional sentence diagramming (Reed & Kellogg): does sentence diagramming create better writers? This book's answer: Maybe. If you think of the English language as a car, think of this book as a look under the proverbial hood of the language. Someone may know the names of all the parts and how they work together to make the vehicle move when the gas pedal is held down-but does that knowledge create a better driver? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Perhaps that driver will explain spark plugs while they drive straight off a cliff.
Such is also true of writing. English can be messy, filled with archaic bolts and cobbled coils, but somehow, it still manages to get users where they want to go. Hop in and enjoy the ride!
A great primer for writers, word enthusiasts, and those seeking to understand the fundamentals of English grammar, this textbook breaks down complicated ideas into digestible pieces.

Does The Italy Affair refer to international intrigue or romantic entanglement? For Maggie, it may be both.

Four years after her adventures with The War Council, UC Berkeley Professor Maggie McGrew's professional life couldn't be better. In addition to teaching communication studies, Maggie has added consulting gigs with Silicon Valley tech companies and a successful book to her resume.

Her personal life is another story. Feeling a bit at loose ends, Maggie accepts her friend (and former War Council comrade) Monique's invitation to join her as one of the university representatives on an alumni association tour of the Art Towns of Northern Italy. There, she discovers a region filled with beautiful art, amazing food, a variety of dogs, and an abundance of Aperol spritzes-not to mention a mysterious painting hidden in a corner of a botanical garden and maybe, just maybe, love.

The Italy Affair is the second book in the University Chronicles series. Like The War Council, it offers a humorous look at life and love, this time amid all the romance of a trip to Italy.

Chimps, nukes, what could go wrong?

It seemed like a good idea at the time: train chimpanzees to fly planes to deliver nuclear bombs. We'd just won the biggest war the world had ever seen, so why not?

The project was going really well, right up to the moment that it wasn't.

In June of 1947, a mysterious aircraft crashed on a ranch outside of Roswell, New Mexico, and over the years, many have speculated about what (and who) it might have been. But now, now you'll learn the truth.

Maybe.

Sometimes, you must be totally lost to finally find yourself.

Maggie Dashwood thought her whole life was laid out for her. Her well-to-do father had a plan that she and her two older sisters would follow to ensure the family's success. When tragedy strikes, everything she knows about the world changes, and her life is turned upside down.

Now, she, her mother and her two sisters must leave behind everything they've ever known while relying on the charity of others to begin again. Stranded in a new place with relative strangers, the Dashwoods try to stay a family while they work through their grief and find out if life can go on.

Will the family survive in-tact? Will Maggie discover her true self? This modern-day retelling of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility is full of heart, tears, and ultimately, triumph.

An alien armada. A demon god's offer of lost technology. An unfulfilled suicide pact.

Her daughter was alive. Instead of fulfilling her woefully-overdue suicide pact and going out in a rocket blaze of revenge-filled glory, Capt. Cadian Galas must scour the jungle of a lost continent for a weapon only hinted at existing. With the impending final wave of a forty-year campaign of genocide by an alien race just days away, humanity's clock is ticking. And that's when the Deathhounds arrived...

Warming up her power armor, Cadian will have to overcome impossible odds with dwindling resources if she wants to save what little humanity has for her daughter's sake. Being a mech pilot was never an ideal way of life, but she's damn good at what she does. The question is, can she succeed where so many others have failed?

This book is perfect for readers looking for an action-packed space opera. Strap in for the ride of your life.
