Life with Stewart
Nick Baxter's grandmother kept a secret. She never told her grandson, whom she raised as her own that his grandfather was the Hollywood film legend Nicholas Stewart. On the day of his grandmother's death, Nick comes face to face with the reality of his past as his narcissistic grandfather teams up with an ambitious TV journalist to exploit Nick's past for their personal gain. As deep secrets unfold on all sides, Nick is prompted by an unlikely source to seek after the most difficult of commodities - forgiveness.Here is another powerful drama by the Collaborative Drama Writers led by Mark W. Sasse. Life with Stewart is a funny and poignant romp through the media saturated landscape of American pop culture. With its "black and white" sitcom scene, LIFE WITH STEWART would be an enjoyable challenge for any drama troupe. If you like LIFE WITH STEWART, make sure you check out the tragic thriller SPY BLUE, the off-the wall comedy ROMANS ON THE COUCH, and the delightful romantic-comedy musical TAKE TWO.

Gendered Configurations of Humans and Machines
In numerous fields of science, work, and everyday life, humans and machines have been increasingly entangled, developing an ever-growing toolbox of interactions. These entanglements affect our daily lives and pose possibilities as well as restrictions, chances as well as challenges. The contributions of this volume tackle related issues by adopting a highly interdisciplinary perspective. How do digitalization and artificial intelligence affect gender relations? How can intersectionality be newly understood in an increasingly internationally networked world? This volume is a collection of contributions deriving from the “Interdisciplinary Conference on the Relations of Humans, Machines and Gender” which took place in Braunschweig (October 16–19, 2019). It also includes the keynotes given by Cecile Crutzen, Galit Wellner and Helen Verran.

Curious to know more and, armed only with her mother’s date and place of birth, St Catherine’s Orphanage in Devon, Anna begins her search.

Why and how, after giving birth at aged thirteen, did she disappear? Anna continues her search until she finds the answers and reveals the shocking truth behind Rebekah’s disappearance.
