One bridesmaid. One groomsman. One classic wedding hookup.  But for Callie and Devin, their weekend of passion is anything but typical.  Callie Franklin doesn’t do one night stands.  Ever.  She’s far too responsible and focused on her career to ever let herself give in to temptation. But, on the eve of her best friend’s wedding, she meets that temptation . . .  And his name is Devin McAllister.  Devin, on the other hand, has no problem with meaningless hookups. The very last thing he needs—or wants—is a relationship.  Relationships come with strings.  Relationships come with heartbreak.  A late-night encounter in the hotel’s piano bar finds the two unable to resist each other. With her angelic voice and bright blue eyes, Devin’s sure he’s never met anyone as beautiful as his Songbird.  Six weeks later, when two pink lines confirm Callie’s worst fears, she and Devin have to face the consequences of their wild weekend.  And they have to deal with each other—whether they like it or not.  With a love story that’s far from traditional, Callie and Devin begin to wonder if their one-night stand could turn into something neither of them anticipated.  A happily ever after.

Andrew Murray has been running since 2005 when he realised that it might be a good way to see a bit of the world. Since then he has been placed first overall in races in the Arctic, the Sahara, Outer Mongolia and the jungle, amongst others. But in 2010 he devised a challenge that put all his previous attempts in the shade - to run from Scotland to the Sahara in one continuous push with no rest days! It is 2,659 miles from John O'Groats at the northern tip of mainland Britain to Merzouga in Morocco and Andrew planned to complete the distance in 85 days. That's the equivalent of 100 marathons run end to end - and not a single day off to recover. With minimal support, and in the middle of winter, trying to run an ultra marathon every day was the challenge of a lifetime for Andrew. As a medic, Andrew knew exactly what that would do to his body...and it wasn't good news. Attempting to cram in a staggering 8,000 calories every day is extremely difficult and doesn't stop the body from beginning to break down. This book is the story of that run, interwoven between tales of extraordinary endurance events in some of the most extreme locations in the world. It answers the question, 'why do it?', and offers a gripping insight into what drives an extreme athlete to break new ground. Helped by family, friends, those he meets along the way, and a fiancee he's shortly to marry, this is the story of one man's determination to run in the history books. Andrew Murray's epic journey was the subject of a highly successful BBC documentary and this book is the inside story of what pushes one man to keep breaking the limits. Even a planned 85 days wasn't enough to satisfy Andrew - in the end he completed the distance in just 78 days. The book is introduced by Sir Ranulf Fiennes.

The Toboggan Ride to Tyranny 
Your right to trial by a randomly selected jury -- not one stacked with jurors who swear to convict in advance -- is gone. 
The IRS can now seize your bank account, paycheck, and house -- without so much as a judge's order. Your banker will help them. 
Vietnam veterans and their wives, and 68-year-old engineers, are in federal prisons on "drug" charges -- despite the fact they never sold, touched, or even saw a single gram of cocaine or marijuana. 
The Founders guaranteed Americans the right to keep and bear arms for defense against their own government. But the meager legal arms of the Branch Davidians were no match for government tanks and helicopters at Waco. National gun registration led to confiscation in oncr-free England and Australia. And national gun registration began in the U.S. on December 1, 1998. 
How did we get to this point? Is there any peaceful way back from the toboggan ride to tyranny? The answers are in "Send in the Waco Killers," by America's syndicated Libertarian columnist, Vin Suprynowicz.

Non-Government Warning: L. Neil Smith’s vision of Liberty is highly contagious and incurable. Exposure to his ideas will change your life. 
Renowned science fiction author L. Neil Smith (The Probability Broach, Pallas, The Crystal Empire, Henry Martyn, Forge Of The Elders, Hope) has been inspiring, delighting, and motivating Western Libertarian audiences for 25 years with his iconoclastic letters, essays, and downright rants. Now for the first time, the best of Neil's non-fiction writing on gun rights, Libertarian and Republicrat politics, the sorry socialist state of modern science fiction — even his legendary essay "Why I Hate Breakfast" — are gathered together in a single volume.

Lever Action: Essays on Liberty

Smith, L. Neil

Philosophy

In a free country, individuals have almost limitless rights -- to travel as they please, carry private arms, consume any plant or drug, keep what they earn, raise their kids as they see fit ... all without showing any license or permit. Bureaucrats have few powers, specifically listed. 
But that hardly describes America today, where the default settings fast approach those of a slave state. Bureaucrats claim expansive power and privilege; the rights of the individual are crushed. Carl Drega fought back ... and died. Peter McWilliams fought back ... and died. Garry Watson fought back ... and died. Donald Scott fought back ... and died. ... 
Not all their desperate acts were wise or admirable. But Libertarian columnist Vin Suprynowicz insists we should at least start cataloguing and honoring the names of those who have given their lives in this War on Freedom, being waged against us from the lowliest government classroon and "code-enforcement office" to the loftiest temples of Washington. Because we're next. Eight died on that bridge at Concord, back in 1775. How many will it take this time?

The Resistance Has Begun ... 
The portals are everywhere, now. Scanning for weapons, for drugs. ... No getting out of line. 
The people had forgotten how to fight back. There was no one to show them how. Or was there ... ? 
What if the indignities Americans now endure in the nation’s airports — ID checks, invasive body searches -- expanded onto our city streets? 
What if pedestrian and motorist alike could be searched at roadblocks without pretext, pulled from their cars ... machine-gunned if they stepped out of line? 
The year is 2031, and the Ashcroft-Poindexter police state is at full bray. Will Americans continue to endure such indignities like sheep? Or will they begin to gather in basement and abandoned subway tunnel, seeking a leader who can show them how to use the ancient tools of bow and sword to win back their freedoms ... striking from the silence of the night? 
Against this backdrop, "The Black Arrow" is a sweaty love story, as an elegant and voluptuous newspaper columnist and a fiery young warrior lass vie for the affections of wealthy record company executive Andrew Fletcher, who turns out to be the masked freedom fighter better known by night as ... The Black Arrow. 
When she first saw him he was silhouetted against the moon, a black stallion rearing up to claim all he surveyed. 
Her heart slowed in her chest, then. There was a strange keening in her ears that she knew was not of this time or place, but of the other world. It was a vision she was having, a waking dream that would haunt her, drive her in ways unexplained. 
 In the dark of the city’s night, wherever the weak or oppressed cry out in pain or fear, a quiet footfall can be heard on the roof, the owlshadow passeth before the moon. The twang of the bow, the quiet gasp of feathered death ... The Black Arrow lives. 
From Vin Suprynowicz, a tale of sex and violence; freedom and fertility; rebellion and revenge. With lots of rock ’n roll.
