Quiet Light
Immortal dragons can't mate with humans... or can they?500 years ago, Yora went into magical stasis to escape her violent life as the Sage of Wrath. Now she's awoken because a hunted dragon shifter needs help, but the last thing she wants is to go back to war.
She'd much rather stay in her cottage with the dragon, Zan, and eat every kind of ice cream she can imagine. Even if she knows better than to give in to the rush she feels around him... Dragons can't mate with humans, and soon Zan will have to leave again.
But the dragon's flight has brought danger to Yora's doorstep. Dark powers are desperate to claim her destructive powers for themselves, and they'll stop at nothing to bring her under their control.
Yora knows how to use her wrath to destroy. But if she can harness that same magic to build instead, maybe she can protect her found family in Crystal Hollow-and find a way to stay with Zan for all of their days, too.
The Quiet Light is the first book of an ice cream-filled spicy cozy fantasy romance trilogy in the world of Sage's Sanctuary, where the most powerful and vulnerable alike find refuge in an isolated mountain cottage with only one bed. Sage's Sanctuary is full of dragon encounters, tender romance and hilarious banter, building community and having each other's backs, and finding who you are and what you stand for.

Red Dead's History: A Video Game, an Obsession, and America's Violent Past
A pathbreaking new way to examine US history, through the lens of a bestselling video game
Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption II, set in 1911 and 1899, are the most-played American history video games since The Oregon Trail. Beloved by millions, they've been widely acclaimed for their realism and attention to detail. But how do they fare as re-creations of history? In this engaging book, award-winning American history professor Tore Olsson takes up that question and more. Weaving the games' plots and characters into an exploration of American violence between 1870 and 1920, Olsson shows that it was more often disputes over capitalism and race, not just poker games and bank robberies, that fueled the bloodshed of these turbulent years. As such, this era has much to teach us today. From the West to the Deep South to Appalachia, Olsson reveals the gritty and brutal world that inspired the games, but sometimes lacks context and complexity on the digital screen. Colorful, fast-paced, and dramatic, Red Dead's History sheds light on dark corners of the American past for gamers and history buffs alike. -

Christina Applegate Biography: A Life Lived Without Apology - Fame, Illness, Reinvention, and the Courage to Remain True
Christina Applegate has spent her life in the public eye-first as a child performer, then as a global television icon, and later as a woman redefining visibility on her own terms. Christina Applegate Biography: A Life Lived Without Apology offers the first fully realized, narrative-driven account of a life shaped by fame, resilience, illness, and quiet reinvention.
This book moves beyond familiar headlines to examine the real cost of longevity in Hollywood: early exposure, typecasting, gendered scrutiny, and the pressure to remain visible at all times. It traces Applegate's evolution from sitcom superstardom to critically respected dramatic work, while also confronting her candid battles with breast cancer and multiple sclerosis-handled here with honesty, dignity, and restraint.
More than a career chronicle, this biography is a study of authorship: how a woman reclaims control over her story when her body, industry, and public expectations attempt to define it for her. Written with depth and clarity, it resists spectacle and sentimentality in favor of truth, context, and human complexity.
For readers interested in celebrity biography, resilience without romanticism, and the realities of aging and illness in public life, this book offers insight that endures beyond fame.
Discover the full story. Get your copy now! Read Christina Applegate Biography and experience a life lived-without apology.

Caught between the duty of finding her missing brother and the pull of the realm she has entered, she must choose: risk everything to find Lucas, or bide her time with the mysterious half elves that took her in and learn the truth behind what actually happened to her brother-or who took him.
As Layla learns to navigate this perilous realm, she uncovers secrets that make her the key to its survival-and its destruction. But every second that ticks by has a price, and every breath she takes isn't just for Lucas, but for Aaren, the half elf leader with a burden too heavy to shoulder on his own. The longer she stays in this realm, the closer she is pulled to a destiny that could unravel both of their worlds. And not even fate knows what lies in store for Layla if she fails.
