Practice makes perfect. Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke. So when Maya said she wanted to be a rock star, she never imagined she'd get to shadow the Jesse Scott, Nashville's teen idol. But spending the day with Jesse is far from a dream come true. He's as gorgeous as his music, but seeing all that he's accomplished is just a reminder of everything Maya's lost: her trust, her boyfriend, their band, and any chance to play the music she craves. Not to mention that Jesse's pushy and opinionated. He made it on his own, and he thinks Maya's playing back up to other people's dreams. Does she have what it takes to follow her heart—and go solo? Praise for Miranda Kenneally's Breathe, Annie, Breathe: "[An] expertly paced and realistic romance."—Booklist, starred review "Heartfelt, uplifting, and quite possibly enough motivation to make readers reach for their running shoes." —Publisher's Weekly "Breathe, Annie, Breathe is an emotional, heartfelt, and beautiful story about finding yourself after loss and learning to love. Her best book yet." —Jennifer L. Armentrout, New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You

ÊWe all love a villain in a romantic break-up but what if there isnÕt one? In fact what if everything seems just fine but not absolutely, weak-at your knees, mind-blowingly fabulousÑshould you stay or should you go? This is the dilemma facing Jessica Tiller who begins to realise that Ben, the man she thought was her manicorn (a sensitive, sexy and soulful manÑin other words, for most people: imaginary), is in fact just an extremely nice bloke. And her past, as well as her long-time friend, David, are starting to push her in a whole new unexpectedly sexier direction.Ê When friends Stella and MinhÕs blossoming romance and upcoming wedding makes commitment look pretty good, for Jessica itÕs decision time. While Ben is busy working out with his gym buddy and resident office stunner, Elise, Jess turns to her best friend, happily married mother of two, Laura, who provides a wealth of experienced advice as does the gay sisterhood of Tiffany and Kristan. But when it comes to the crunch itÕs up to Jessica to decide to what and to whom to commit. This humorous story is for those torn between the security of a totally inoffensive long-term relationship and the promise of the romance you once thought youÕd have but you somehow lost.

In a distant future, Earth is under the oppressive rule of the Ruthless Roe. Sol, a skilled software engineer, awakens one fateful day with a determination to free the planet from the clutches of these alien invaders. Sol develops a revolutionary software that becomes the catalyst for a rebellion against their captors. With unwavering resolve, Sol leads the charge to liberate the people of Earth. Close friends of Sol join the cause, enhancing their abilities by acquiring and adapting alien technology. The saga begins with "SEGFAULT," the first installment of the "Fragments of Sol" series. Within this immersive world, they engage in high-stakes space skirmishes, engage in battles of wits against the advanced alien race, and partake in heart-pounding cyberpunk-style action. As they journey toward freedom, the lines between reality and the virtual realm become increasingly blurred. They harness the power of nanotechnology enhancements, cybernetic augmentations, and sentient AI, all in their quest for liberation. In this narrative, coding, and hacking are just as vital as combat skills, with LitRPG elements adding layers of strategy and intrigue to the gripping tale.
