There's always that chance that your heart's desire is one click away.Someone needs to pinch web designer/humor blogger/Pittsburgh Ravens mega fan Mike Kneller. Hard. For years, Mike has been living his life for his younger sister Kelly and his four-year-old nephew Liam. He'd opened up his home to Kelly when she found herself pregnant at sixteen and facing having a baby alone. Sure, his days are filled with skinned knees, snotty noses, and the occasional mishap with stuffed superheroes, but he's perfectly happy because he loves Liam as much as he loves his baby sister. Giving up a social life and going to bed alone is a small price to pay. Little does he know that someone on the Ravens is about to show Ravens goalie Bryn Mettler one of his vlog posts. Of course he's not going to believe it when his phone rings and the world-famous netminder-and his goalie crush-is on the other end. I mean, life doesn't work that way for ordinary, hardworking uncles like Mike. Does it?Bryn Mettler is a superstar athlete and a major part of the Pittsburgh sports society. He seems to have it all. He's well-dressed, handsome, wealthy, an elite goaltender, a famed philanthropist, and the holder of numerous medals and trophies. To date, there are two things that have avoided him: lifting that big shiny silver cup over his head and finding a man to settle down with. Now that he's over thirty, Bryn is finding the gay club scene is wearing thin. His teammates' wives have decided it's their duty to the team-and to Bryn-to find him Mr. Right. He's relatively sure the man who'll capture his heart surely won't be found on a humor blog. Funny how life likes to take the things that you're most certain about and flip them-and you-on its ear. When Bryn meets Mike, he is instantly drawn to the warm, funny, sexy man who shares his hectic days with thousands of Pittsburgh natives. Now he just has to convince Mike he is who he says he is so he can get to know him better. Thankfully, Bryn isn't a quitter. But does he have what it takes to leap into life with Mike, Kelly, and Liam?

Book one in the hit series that's soon to be a major motion picture starring Amandla Stenberg and Mandy Moore--now with a stunning new look and an exclusive bonus short story featuring Liam and his brother, Cole. When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government "rehabilitation camp." She might have survived the mysterious disease that killed most of America's children, but she and the others emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control. Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. But when the truth about Ruby's abilities--the truth she's hidden from everyone, even the camp authorities--comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. On the run, she joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp: Zu, a young girl haunted by her past; Chubs, a standoffish brainiac; and Liam, their fearless leader, who is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can't risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. While they journey to find the one safe haven left for kids like them--East River--they must evade their determined pursuers, including an organization that will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. But as they get closer to grasping the things they've dreamed of, Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.

Humans are mammals. Most of us appreciate that at some level. But what does it mean for us to have more in common with a horse and an elephant than we do with a parrot, snake or frog? After a misdirected football left new father Liam Drew clutching a uniquely mammalian part of his anatomy, he decided to find out more. Considering himself as a mammal first and a human second, Liam delves into ancient biological history to understand what it means to be mammalian. In his humorous and engaging style, Liam explores the different characteristics that distinguish mammals from other types of animals. He charts the evolution of milk, warm blood and burgeoning brains, and examines the emergence of sophisticated teeth, exquisite ears, and elaborate reproductive biology, plus a host of other mammalian innovations. Entwined are tales of zoological peculiarities and reflections on how being a mammal has shaped the author's life. I, Mammal is a history of mammals and their ancestors and of how science came to grasp mammalian evolution. And in celebrating our mammalian-ness, Liam Drew binds us a little more tightly to the five and a half thousand other species of mammal on this planet and reveals the deep roots of many traits humans hold dear.

The Story of Liam By: Wedad M. El Hajj The Story of Liam is based on a long journey of agony and suffering experienced by two young boys who, for unknown reasons, found themselves abandoned; as a result, the harsh conditions they had to pass through taught them to confront the howling winds. They were able to learn how to survive and keep themselves safe away from all the temptations of the perilous streets. Though the events are so hard to believe, they are based on true events that took place years ago. In fact, the idea of the story sheds light on the importance of creating a loving and caring atmosphere in order to make sure that the family we aspire to have should be built on solid grounds away from the hatred rooted in some minds. In a nutshell, the events of the story are not focused to live a certain dream with happily ever after; it is rather the sum of compiled efforts that made two extraordinary kids survive to start a family that is ruled by love and only love despite of all the complexes of the two boys, who turned into real men, acquired due to the severe conditions during their childhood.
