When Eila Doyle first sees the strange boy beckoning in whispers from somewhere deep in her imagination, she questioned her sanity. She was used to seeing strange things with her eyes closed - that's what Eila did all day while strapped to the Blunderbuss, building whatever the Ministry of Manifestation required - but never before have those images felt so real, or so dangerous.

Good things come to those who wait. That’s what Annie’s always believed. It’s why, when her fiancé, Keith, launched his nanotech company, Annie set aside law school to help. It’s why she went all-in, trusting the company’s success to make her degree moot. But with the finish line in sight (and creative dreams dancing in Annie’s head), Keith starts to act suspiciously. Annie isn’t usually vengeful, but her hand’s been forced. She faces a decision: Should she let Keith play her like a sucker, or should she be strong like the heroine of her screenplay?

Maria woke with no memory, rescued from the sex dungeon of a man who had held her captive. With her captor dead, now she may be the only hope for police to find another missing woman. Detective Cody McGraw is tasked to help Maria recover her memories. Just one problem - Maria isn’t who she thinks she is. She’s not even human. She’s a robot that shouldn’t exist, a model so close to human that it had to be shut down years ago - all of them humanely disposed of. Now she is marked for destruction. But first, Cody is given a chance to find out what she knows.

Jack should never have been out that morning. If he hadn’t been out, he never would’ve hit the girl on the bike. He never would’ve made the worst decision of his life - to flee the scene of the crime. Now, two years later, his crime has destroyed two families. And fate has brought him into the life of the last person he thought he’d ever have to see - the girl’s mother.

Familiari, amici, conoscenti, vicini di casa... sono tutti scomparsi, come non fossero mai esistiti. Non rimane che una manciata di sopravvissuti.

Every writer wants to create timeless, memorable stories and characters who feel like real friends. The masterclass is no further away than your TV. Classic television holds up because of one thing: great writing. Fancy sets, innovative effects, or famous actors come and go over time, but well-written characters we connect with stand the test of time. No show in recent history has done that better than the 90s classic Friends.

Fiction Unboxed offers something that’s never been offered before: a naked look into two writer’s process, as they wrote and published a book in 30 days, from scratch, in front of the world. In 2013 Sean Platt & Johnny B. Truant wrote and published 1.5 million words. The next year they showed the world how they did it. In May 2014, Johnny and Sean, along with their third partner David Wright, launched a Kickstarter campaign to see if their fans wanted to see how they wrote behind closed doors.

Iterate and Optimize is a behind-the-scenes peek into how indie publishing company Sterling & Stone grew their three-author team into a juggernaut, and a next-level guide for authors looking to explode their sales and do the same. In their cornerstone publishing guide Write. Publish. Repeat., best-selling authors Johnny B. Truant, Sean Platt, and David Wright explained how to build a thriving international publishing empire with no luck required.

Having long since replaced humans in the back hallways and servants' quarters of the ultra-wealthy, new models are acquired, render their service, then are quietly deactivated when obsolete. But then we gave them the ability to learn. One household is about to find out that, while Asimov's laws are immutable, humans are about to experience an uprising of a different sort. This first, surprisingly heartfelt episode of a new series puts the listener in the shoes of the the soulless who serve.
