It was the summer of 1985, and she was young and inexperienced, but longing to love and to be loved in return, when he entered her life.
A contemporary romance that will break your heart, then put it back together again.
Complete Series: Episodes 1-3 in One Volume Operation Z-Day The world is about to change. A malicious virus infects thousands, then millions, killing the elderly, young and weak. Infected survivors descend near to death, only to emerge wanton beasts, driven by carnal instincts and desperate madness. Raven Falconer, a fledgling author, retreats to the mountains of serene Banff National Park, only to find herself cut off from friends and family. Peril, beyond earthly reason, sets the unwitting characters into motion, seeking each other out and charting their destiny. Rise of the Huskers For Biathlon Olympian, Nathan Edwards, life as he knows it is over. Pummeled by the disease he survives and embraces his new Husker identity. Using a remnant of cerebral function, he controls his mindless ‘pack’, which kills indiscriminately to satisfy their fleshy urges. Unchecked, they run amok, threatening the resort community and propelling three groups to a horrific engagement, where to kill is the only option. Vengeance Fulfilled Raven, Ziggy, Mick and more long to be free, but for many, including a native band led by an opportunistic chieftain, civil war seems inevitable. Factions, galvanized by a need to survive, rally around leaders, some virtuous and some morally corrupt. However, a wretched blackness clouds the land, suggesting goodness will not always triumph over evil . . . but sweet vengeance may be its own reward.
What would happen to a child of great potential who suddenly loses everyone he loves and has no relatives to take him in? With no one to love him, no one to protect him, no one to guide him and no one to ease the pain, what would become of him? Taylor Made Owens is the story of a boy, Bobby Owens, caught in this predicament. Blessed by nature with brilliance, athletic talent, humor and looks, and nurtured by caring, loving parents, the eight-year-old has no conception that life could be anything other than perfect. But in a flash, it’s all gone: family, house, home – everything. He moves in with his elderly grandmother, his only living relative, but she dies within a few years. Left to the foster care system, what becomes of him? In the midst of all this misfortune he has a stroke of luck, though it doesn’t appear so at the time: he meets the Taylor family. Lisa Taylor, a social worker assigned his case after the 14-year-old breaks the law, realizes his potential and tries to help. Through her he meets the other central characters in the book: Jennifer Taylor, her 14-year-old niece, and Kristen Taylor, her 13-year-old daughter. The book follows the often-stormy relationships he has with both girls over the next 16 years. Although the relationships are front-and-centre, the story touches on divers timeless questions about the meaning of life and death – God versus oblivion, good versus evil, nature versus nurture, fate versus chance, war versus peace, liberal versus conservative – through the exploration of everyday interactions between the protagonists and through several defining events in their lives. Ultimately, it is a story about the centrality of family to our lives, how lost and lonely we are without it and how important it is to get it back if we lose it. It should appeal to any reasonably intelligent reader who likes a well written, thought provoking, easy to read, fast-paced and interesting story. It’s a novel in the classical tradition, one where the story unfolds through the characters. It is a book that readers can savor; one that gets better and better as it goes because the readers come to care for the characters; one that they will want to read again sometime because it engages their deeper emotions and enduring preoccupations.
In one day Scai has gone from being considered unusual by the people of her little Welsh village to an outcast fleeing for her life. Left on the church steps as a baby, she knows nothing of her history—or her abilities. Did she really stop the rain just by wishing it to stop? But she is determined to learn all she can. Traveling alone to find her family seems to be the only way she’s going to find the answers she seeks. Her journey leads her to the comical old knight Sir Dagonet, who tells her that she is one of a magical people called the Vallen. Together they continue on, joined by the handsome Dylan and the fiery Bridget on a new quest—to find the fabled Merlin’s Chalice, said to hold all the power of the entrapped wizard. Together, Scai, Dylan and Bridget discover that they are the long awaited Children of Avalon, destined to save the world from power-hungry Lady Nimuë—unless she kills them first. Along the way, Scai finds magic—both in the wind and air that she can control at will, and in the sweet ache of a first love that she cannot.
Neuroscience research is producing an almost constant stream of new discoveries that are unlocking the secrets of how our brains work.

However, very few people outside of the neuroscience community understand these discoveries well enough to take advantage of them or apply them to their own lives in a way that gets meaningful results.
