How big is your vocabulary? How heavy is your house? Do the dead outnumber the living? What are the best words to use in a personal ad? We humans are a curious species, prone to think, ruminate, reflect, cogitate, mull over, and philosophize. We long to explain away the world around us, to answer all those seeming unanswerables: Why are we here? Is there a God? Is there life after death? And, above all, how many houseflies does it take to pull a car? A confirmed and superior geek, Dr. Graham Tattersall has rescued math from the prison of the classroom and put it to use in novel and unexpected ways to explain some oft-pondered mysteries of the world. Geekspeak is an essential tool that will help you exercise your brain and solve the unsolvable, make you sound intelligent so you can impress your friends, and enable you to better understand the fascinating world in which we live in ways never possible before. Math has a new champion, and the geeks a new king.

(Bleacke Shifters book 6) [This story first appeared as part of the Summer Solstice Romance Collection Anthology. It has been revised and extensively expanded for re-release.] Impending fatherhood is doing more than ruffling Ken's fur… Being the "geek grazer" husband of a female Prime Alpha wolf who's also the Head Enforcer of her pack isn't the easiest gig in the world, but Ken's adjusting to his new life. The fact that his brothers-in-law are also the Pack Alpha and the pack's second in command doesn't exactly lower Ken's stress levels. Now that Dewi's pregnant with their first child, Ken's doing his best not to feel overwhelmed. Easier said than done. Except Ken's more at home with computers than Pack Musters and wolf politics. Unfortunately, now the Pack Alpha has tasked Ken with a nearly impossible assignment—trying to help the brothers and their mates keep baby-sister Dewi's surprise baby shower a secret.
