Cursed, blackmailed, and on the run...this meet-cute is a meet-catastrophe. Like all the women in her family, Eva's emotions wreak havoc on nearby electrical devices. Despite living in modern-day Los Angeles, she can't have a cell phone, use a computer, or be in a car for more than a few minutes without killing it. Keeping her otherworldly nature hidden defines every aspect of Eva's life—but never more so than when a stranger threatens to expose her secret to the world, forcing Eva into a bizarre scheme to hide a stolen baby elephant. Hudson is in the wrong place at the right time, charging to Eva's rescue...whether she wants his help or not. Sexy and resourceful—and a suspicious, analytical electrical engineer—Hudson is the last person Eva needs entangled in her problems. However, as they dodge repeated attempts on her life made by ruthless corporations hunting the elephant, Eva finds it impossible to quell her growing affection for Hudson. But if she lets her emotions free and falls in love with Hudson, neither of them will survive. *This standalone romantic comedy contains on-the-page heat.* PRAISE FOR TINY GLITCHES "I laughed out loud too many times to count, and thoroughly enjoyed myself" Pure Textuality "an entertaining hard-to-put-down read . . . the action never stops" The Book Quarry

The solar system most of us grew up with included nine planets, with Mercury closest to the sun and Pluto at the outer edge. Then, in 2005, astronomer Mike Brown made the discovery of a lifetime: a tenth planet, Eris, slightly bigger than Pluto. But instead of adding one more planet to our solar system, Brown’s find ignited a firestorm of controversy that culminated in the demotion of Pluto from real planet to the newly coined category of “dwarf” planet. Suddenly Brown was receiving hate mail from schoolchildren and being bombarded by TV reporters—all because of the discovery he had spent years searching for and a lifetime dreaming about. A heartfelt and personal journey filled with both humor and drama, How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming is the book for anyone, young or old, who has ever imagined exploring the universe—and who among us hasn’t?
