"Debut novel about a wealthy man who has reached a crossroads after a lifetime of repression and denial, sending him--and his family--into a slow spiral towards a total breakdown"--
Fire captain Cameron McClain dropped into my life with as much subtlety as an unsolicited d*ck pic. I shouldn't be attracted to him, but I am. He's too old for me, too alpha for my tastes, and too bossy in the bedroom. Though, I have to admit he knows exactly how to use his . . . firehose. I'm not interested in a forever kind of relationship, but he's down for whatever I'm willing to give. Our arrangement is perfect. At least that's how it begins. I never wanted the happily ever after, but he's just so tempting. The smart choice would be to end things before they combust, but for some reason I can't push Cam away. The harder I try, the harder he--well, you get the picture. I wish things were...
A single text message on a random Tuesday morning thrusts Jill Weston into the end of America. Conscripted into the ranks of the specialized programmed elite, Jill wanders the militarized college campus in the affluent suburbs of Louisville where she is stationed, shielded from the horror outside its brick walls. But Jill harbors the fact that her programming is faulty, functioning enough to prevent detection but incapable of fully immersing Jill into the blissful facade of a college co-ed. Risking detection in the search for her brother feared dead, Jill struggles to maintain her ruse while simultaneously forging relationships with her comrades. Can anyone be trusted in a world that is ruled by the combined Chinese and Russian governments? As the country adjusts to the new regime and rumors of resistance swell, Jill begins to suspect that she may not be alone in her programming glitches and that any conversation could result in discovery.

A quest that will take him into the darkness of the TOWER OF ENDLESS WORLDS...
Looking at schools and universities, it is difficult to pinpoint when education, teaching and learning started to haemorrhage purpose, aspiration and function. Libraries and librarians have been starved of funding. Teachers cram their curriculum with 'skill development' and 'generic competencies' because knowledge, creativity and originality are too expensive to provide to unmotivated students and parents obsessed with league tables, not learning. Meanwhile, the internet offers a glut of information on everything-under-the-sun, a mere mouse-click away. Bored surfers fill their cursors and minds with irrelevancies. We lose the capacity to sift, discard and judge. Information is no longer for ...
