30 Silver –
by Daniel Huber Jarrod Morris thought that he could change the world. But after his junior year of college the pressure was just too much for him, and his future came to a screeching halt. So Jarrod moved back home to Los Angeles to help out his disorganized, well-meaning but slightly crazy mother whose job as a psychic keeps things unpredictable in the worst way. After a bit intervention from fate at the local dog park, Jarrod’s path crosses with the mysterious, beautiful Eden, who teaches doga classes–that’s right, yoga with dogs– and despite the oddity of her profession, Jarrod is smitten. He sets out to stalk her around Los Angeles, showing up and fumbling his way into her life and into her heart. Meanwhile, Jarrod himself is being stalked by an unstoppable force that he has no idea even exists. In fact, Jarrod’s mom’s strange behavior actually has a purpose, and oftentimes it’s been to shield her son from his secret lineage; their family are descendants of Judas Iscariot, and an immortal Roman soldier is closing in on their location in a search for the original thirty silver coins from Biblical times. As Jarrod’s relationship with Eden grows and deepens, he finds that she too, has secrets of her own. She’s not just a beautiful yoga instructor from the dog park. She’s actually an angel fallen from grace. More strange things begin to unfold as Jarrod learns his life isn’t normal at all, and there are bigger things to worry about than dropping out of college or dealing with his mom’s clutter. In fact, he’s got to run for his life, or risk facing a foe that has searched for the most infamous purse for over two thousand years. |

Drive, Ride, Repeat: The Mostly-true Account Of A Cross-country Car And Bicycle Adventure
by Al Macy “Every day I wake up with nothing to do, and by the end of the day, I’ve only gotten half of it done.” During his working life, Macy was a neuroscientist, computer game programmer, jazz trombonist, chef, CEO, piano player, clam digger, and technical writer. The book is a journal of a car/bicycle/camping trip from California to St. Louis and back, but Macy promises that “if it starts sounding like one of your brother-in-law’s boring slide shows, I will stop this book, and we’ll turn around and go home. I mean it.” Interspersed with the journal chapters, you’ll find thought-provoking life tips, stories from the past, and descriptions of Al’s wacky inventions. You’ll hear poignant anecdotes about what happened when doctors discovered a golf-ball-sized tumor in his wife’s brain and how everything they owned burned. |
