    The Ghost in My Brain: How a Concussion Stole My Life and How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Helped Me Get It BackThe Ghost in My Brain: How a Concussion Stole My Life and How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Helped Me Get It Back
    by Clark Elliott

    The dramatic story of one man’s recovery offers new hope to those suffering from concussions and other brain traumas.

    In 1999, Clark Elliott suffered a concussion when his car was rear-ended. Overnight his life changed from that of a rising professor with a research career in artificial intelligence to a humbled man struggling to get through a single day. At times he couldn’t walk across a room, or even name his five children. Doctors told him he would never fully recover. After eight years, the cognitive demands of his job, and of being a single parent, finally became more than he could manage. As a result of one final effort to recover, he crossed paths with two brilliant Chicago-area research-clinicians – one a specialized optometrist, the other a cognitive psychologist – working on the leading edge of brain plasticity. He was substantially improved within weeks.

    Remarkably, Elliott kept detailed notes throughout his experience, from the moment of impact to the final stages of his recovery, astounding documentation that is the basis of this fascinating audiobook. The Ghost in My Brain gives hope to the millions who suffer from head injuries each year, and provides a unique and informative window into the world’s most complex computational device: the human brain.

    Dead Run: The Murder of a Lawman and the Greatest Manhunt of the Modern American WestDead Run: The Murder of a Lawman and the Greatest Manhunt of the Modern American West by Dan Schultz

    Over 100 5-Star Reviews!

    On a sunny May morning in 1998 in Cortez, Colorado, three desperados in a stolen truck opened fire on the town cop, shooting him 20 times; then they blasted their way past dozens of police cars and disappeared into 10,000 square miles of the harshest wilderness terrain on the North American continent.

    Self-trained survivalists, the outlaws eluded the most sophisticated law enforcement technology on the planet and a pursuit force that represented more than 75 local, state, and federal police agencies with dozens of SWAT teams, U.S. Army Special Forces, and more than 500 officers from across the country.

    This is the first in-depth account of this sensational case, replete with overbearing local sheriffs, Native American trackers, posses on horseback, suspicion of vigilante justice and police cover-ups, and the blunders of the nation’s most exalted crime fighters pursuing outlaws into territory in which only they could survive.

Roses grow out of Miel’s wrist, and rumors say that she spilled out of a water tower when she was five.

Now they want the roses that grow from Miel’s skin, convinced that their scent can make anyone fall in love. And they’re willing to use every secret Miel has fought to protect to make sure she gives them up.

    Tilt-a-WhirlTilt-a-Whirl by Chris Grabenstein

    There isn’t much sun in the fun when a billionaire real estate tycoon is found murdered on the Tilt-A-Whirl at a seedy seaside amusement park in the quiet town of Sea Haven.

    John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer’s worth of rest and relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation. He is partnered with Danny Boyle, a 24-year-old, part-time summer cop who doesn’t carry a gun and only works with the police by day so he has enough pocket money left over to play with his beach buddies by night.

    In the first novel in a new series written in the spirit of Carl Hiaasen’s work, the Tilt-A-Whirl murder pushes Ceepak’s deep sense of honor and integrity to the limits as unexpected twists and turns keep the truth spinning wildly in every direction.

    Mercer GirlsMercer Girls by Libbie Hawker

    Over 200 5-Star Reviews!

    It’s 1864 in downtrodden Lowell, Massachusetts. The Civil War has taken its toll on the town – leaving the economy in ruin and its women in dire straits. That is, until Asa Mercer arrives on a peculiar, but providential, errand: he seeks high-minded women who can exert an elevating influence in Seattle, where there are ten men for every woman. Mail-order brides, yes, but of a certain caliber.

    Schoolmarmish Josephine, tough-as-nails Dovey, and pious perfectionist Sophronia see their chance to exchange their bleak prospects for new lives. But the very troubles that sent them running from Lowell follow them to the muddy streets of Seattle, and the friendships forged on the cross-country trek are tested at every turn.

    Just when the journey seems to lead only to ruin, an encounter with a famous suffragist could be their salvation. But to survive both an untamed new landscape and their pasts, they’ll need all their strength – and one another.

    Beneath the Skin: The Sam Hunter Case FilesBeneath the Skin: The Sam Hunter Case Files
    by Jonathan Maberry

    Sam Hunter is a bit of an animal. He’s a former Twin Cities cop who lost his badge because of excessive force. Abusive husbands, child molesters, and other lowlifes wound up looking like they’d been mauled by a dog…or a wolf.

    Now Sam’s a low-rent PI in Philadelphia. He takes the kinds of cases no one wants. His clients are usually on the fringes of society. The kind who are prey for all manner of predators – human and otherwise.

    When Sam takes on a client, they become part of his pack, and no one protects their own better than a werewolf. At least the kind of werewolf like Sam, who comes from a long, long line of Benandanti – also known as "the hounds of God".

    Stories in this collection include "Like Part of the Family", "Toby’s Closet", "Crazy Town", "We All Make Sacrifices", and "A House in Need of Children".
