    When a family camping trip takes a dark turn, how far will one mother go to keep her family safe?

    Struggling with working-mother guilt, Marlene Greene hopes a camping trip in the forest will provide quality time with her three young children – until they see fires in the distance, columns of smoke distorting the sweeping view. Overnight, all communication with the outside world is lost.

    Knowing something terrible has happened, Marlene suspects that the isolation of the remote campsite is all that’s protecting her family. But the arrival of a lost boy reveals they are not alone in the woods, and as the unfolding disaster ravages the land, more youngsters seek refuge under her wing. The lives of her own children aren’t the only ones at stake.

    When their sanctuary is threatened, Marlene faces the mother of all dilemmas: Should she save her own kids or try to save them all?

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 03/10/2018 @ 11:59PM PT.

    A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's CourtA Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
    by Mark Twain

    Over 200 5-Star Reviews!

    Nick Offerman regales listeners with one of American literature’s foremost satires and the author’s most inventive and darkly funny pieces of fiction.

    Hank Morgan is the archetype of modern man in 19th-century New England: adept at his trade as a mechanic, innovative, forward thinking. So when a blow to the head inexplicably sends him back in time 1300 years and places him in Camelot, instead of despair, he feels emboldened by the prospect placed before him and sets out to modernize and improve the lives of his fellow citizens. But, in order to do so, he’ll need to contend with brash nobles, superstitious nincompoops, and a conniving, blowhard wizard.

    While time travel has become a common trope in storytelling today, in Twain’s time it was truly a novel idea; all the more imaginative when you consider how it’s used for satirical effect. A thinly veiled critique of the political and social institutions that impede progress and a scathing condemnation of the naiveté that allows them to thrive, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court saw Twain’s biting wit and sharp tongue honed to a fine point.

    You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
    by Felicia Day

    ⭐ Reader Recommended ⭐
    Over 5,000 5-Star Reviews!

    A funny, quirky, and inspiring memoir from online entertainment mogul, actress, and "queen of the geeks" Felicia Day about her unusual upbringing, her rise to Internet stardom, and embracing her individuality to find success in Hollywood.

    The Internet isn’t all cat videos – almost… There’s also Felicia Day – violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist, and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world – or at least the world of Internet-geek fame and Goodreads book clubs.

    Growing up in the South, where she was homeschooled for hippie reasons, Felicia moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and was immediately typecast as a crazy cat-lady secretary. But Felicia’s misadventures in Hollywood led her to produce her own web series, own her own production company, and become an instant Internet star.

    Felcia’s shortish life and her rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Now Felicia’s strange life is filled with thoughts on creativity, video games, and a dash of mild feminist activism – just like her memoir.

    Hilarious and inspirational, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should embrace what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now – even for a digital misfit.
