Omega's Past
Summary
Camden Wheeler is a rock. The owner of his own brewery and a pillar of the community in Carter's Crossing, he's a small-town alpha and proud of it. He knows who he is and where he's going in life - the only thing he's missing is an omega to fill his heart. Wes doesn't have a clue who he is. He wakes up in the local hospital with a serious case of amnesia, and the only lifeline he has to cling to is the story of the alpha who found him injured in the woods and carried him down a mountain. It's a romantic story - but a difficult story to base his entire life around. With no way of remembering or contacting anyone from Wes' previous life, he consigns himself to staying in Carter's Crossing while he heals. The one bright spot is that Camden isn't about to let him suffer in silence. The alpha provides Wes with the strength he needs to rebuild himself anew...and their close intimacy blossoms into a deep, abiding love. But when a fancy lawyer comes around asking questions about Wes, will Wes be able to put the past behind him? Or will the revelations of Wes' former self be the one thing that tears him and Camden apart? Carter’s Crossing is a quaint little town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where some people go to get away, others arrive to start over, and plenty just find themselves when they’re lost or brokenhearted. This stand-alone contemporary mpreg series is for adults only and is sure to leave you believing in the magic of true love and happily-ever-afters!

The Avatar Project
Summary
This book is a collection of distinct essays that explore the future of education, the role of computers, and the nature of consciousness, with particular attention paid to the role artificial intelligence will play in our school and other learning outlets. We are witnessing an informational tsunami the likes of which is completely unprecedented in human history. The digital revolution is such that almost every aspect of our lives is being upended. Who could have imagined just two decades ago that the vast majority of us would check our smart phones on average 150 times a day or more? Or, that young people worldwide would consciously choose to spend eight hours a day in front of a computer monitor playing never ending games of Minecraft? The great disruptor of the 21st century is our attention span, and the Internet and computational technologies have opened up a Pandora's box of endless distractions. We are not merely entertaining ourselves to death (to echo Neil Postman's prophetic words), we are becoming entertainment ourselves as we moment-to-moment reveal our innermost selves on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and new emerging forms of social media. What all this will eventually portend nobody precisely knows, except that Ray Kurzweil's outlandish idea of a Singularity in 2045 doesn't look so outlandish anymore. We are on the edge of a digital precipice, and where we will fall appears to have no bottom.

The Rise and Fall of the Voting Rights Act
Summary
On June 25, 2013, the US Supreme Court handed down its decision in Shelby County v. Holder, invalidating a key provision of voting rights law. The decision - the culmination of an eight-year battle over the power of Congress to regulate state conduct of elections - marked the closing of a chapter in American politics. That chapter had opened a century earlier in the case of Guinn v. United States, which ushered in national efforts to knock down racial barriers to the ballot. A detailed and timely history, The Rise and Fall of the Voting Rights Act analyzes changing legislation and the future of voting rights in the United States. In tracing the development of the Voting Rights Act from its inception, Charles S. Bullock III, Ronald Keith Gaddie, and Justin J. Wert begin by exploring the political and legal aspects of the Jim Crow electoral regime. Detailing both the subsequent struggle to enact the law and its impact, they explain why the Voting Rights Act was necessary. They go on to closely evaluate the 2013 Shelby County decision, describing how the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court created an appellate environment that made the act ripe for a challenge.
