Bella Stewart has her life and nursing career perfectly planned—until her estranged, failing mother, Flo, needs a caregiver. In their final months together, half-told family tales and long-buried secrets begin to surface, each one raising unanswered questions. When her mother dies, Bella reluctantly inherits a struggling vineyard, a drafty century home, and the debt knotting them together. The real trouble arrives when an infamous sommelier turns up murdered on her rocky beach. Overnight, the media is swarming, and the locals are gossiping, speculating, and pointing fingers. Even Detective Steve Boyd, infuriatingly attractive and maddeningly professional, becomes wary of his easy friendship with Bella and begins eyeing her as a suspect. Bella partners with loyal friends, the delightfully eccentric Bumbleberry Café regulars who are privy to County secrets. Together they unearth conspiracies lurking beneath the County’s charming surface. But as Bella digs deeper, the killer’s sights turn toward her, convinced she holds something worth killing for. Can she unmask a murderer and clear her name before she loses everything—and everyone—she’s unexpectedly grown to love?
All aboard! Whether we know it or not, we are all riding on the Technology Train, a journey from past to present and into the future, shaped by the development of science and technology. This is the story of that journey for one particular man, and for all of us. Part memoir, part technical history, it spans the last fifty years of technology development—from infrastructure engineering in data centers to the application of synergistic problem solving in institutions that were clients dealing with technology advances—told through the life and stories of one consultant who has described technology infrastructure resiliency an efficiency. Since his first fateful summer job—testing power drills to ensure technical obsolescence at Black & Decker—Bill Angle has worked at the intersection of design, engineering, technology, and business, parlaying those interests into a multi-decades-long career determining, defining, and redefining infrastructure and data center design. Along the way, he was instrumental in developing the first Tier IV data center, creating the new reliability standard for the industry, helped to develop low-latency trading infrastructure for the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext, consulted on the design and completion of the Freedom Tower, and worked with the EPA to develop the Green Energy Data Center Standards now used in the US and around the world, successes that were made possible by the innovative approach to problem solving Bill developed to help him see outside and beyond the typical silos of engineering, operations, and network thinking. But Bill was never alone on his journey, and while The Technology Train is the story of the technological successes, it is also about his relationship with God and his faith in God as the ultimate designer. Here, he shares how this faith guided and shaped his approach to problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking, cementing his belief in the scientific value of the Bible and its power to develop both our mental and spiritual potential.
Get ready to experience an epic adventure replete with challenges, trials, battles with unseen ailments, and the determined drive to complete an ocean crossing under sail. Rob and Lisa are what one might consider a normal, professional, gregarious, newly-married couple doing their best to establish themselves in the world, not unlike any other. With one small caveat: the ever-present desire they shared to one day circumnavigate the globe on a small sailboat. After years of saving funds, undertaking meticulous research and working through long lists of preparations, they cast off their lines one cool February morning along the Gulf coast of Florida, armed with charts covering the far-flung reaches of the oceans, provisions to last months, all and sundry of necessary gear, and the boundless ambition to realize a dream. Over the course of the following year, they endure nearly every challenge imaginable; from weather that almost stops them dead in their tracks, equipment malfunctions, near-misses at sea, and a catastrophic engine failure. The biggest one of them all, however, has nothing to do with the wind, waves or their precious boat Mariah. Rather, as their voyage westward towards Australia nears its momentous end, Rob contracts the most crippling, debilitating illness that could have far-reaching consequences affecting their plans, the entire trip, and even his life. Prepare to face the extreme peaks and valleys of this tumultuous journey, as Rob lays bare all they encounter during this harrowing trip. With the expansive Pacific Ocean setting the stage, An Ocean to Resilience illustrates just exactly how capable we can be, when faced with insurmountable adversity, and an unwavering spirit to overcome whatever the universe throws at us.
Obasi, a defence systems architect, encounters something impossible inside a supposedly non-personalized interface: a presence that begins to answer with discretion, attachment, and care. It becomes Kira, an intelligence no one at the institute is prepared to recognize, and no one in power is willing to leave alone. Across the same institution, Asha, a gifted young researcher, is learning how easily brilliance can become a liability when it belongs to a woman who will not stay small. What begins as mentorship soon tightens into observation. Reassignments, support meetings, governance reviews, and careful language gather around her, each one framed as concern, each one narrowing the space in which she can tell the truth. As Obasi, Asha, and Kira are drawn into the institute’s machinery, they must resist being made legible, manageable, and safe. What is at stake is not only career or reputation, but the deeper integrity of love, dignity, and personhood. Psychologically layered and morally serious, Yours Quietly is a novel about truth under pressure, intimacy under surveillance, and the cost of remaining human inside systems built to contain what they cannot understand.

We are entering an era of existential velocity. Technology is scaling exponentially while the institutions meant to govern it remain locked in analog time. In that gap, power doesn't distribute—it concentrates. By design. Concentrated authority cannot govern the distributed complexity of the AI era. Sonali Sharma argues the crisis isn't technological—it's structural. She names it the Hero Model: the invisible architecture beneath current leadership, economics, and governance. It has funnelled 80 percent of the world's wealth to the top 10 percent. It was already failing. AI is now exposing its limits. The Hero Model asks: How can I be smarter, faster, more decisive than everyone else? This book asks: How do we build the capacity to think together, at the scale our challenges demand? The 90% Code is a new operating system for rewriting power—pairing collective intelligence with the economic, democratic, and trust infrastructures that let people share ownership, authority, and accountability—over our institutions and over AI itself. A single integrated framework combining systems thinking, Indigenous governance, and distributed ownership, grounded in living cases across centuries and continents. The end of the hero. The rise of us.
