From the bestselling author of The Face on the Milk Carton: A thrilling novel about a girl whose obsession with a mysterious boy could destroy them both. When she’s callously kicked out of choir class, Nicoletta dreads having to take art appreciation instead. Then she sets eyes on Jethro, a new kid whose dark beauty makes her wish she actually knew how to paint. Nicoletta is so mesmerized she finds herself following the brooding, mysterious stranger home. At least, that’s where she thinks he’s going . . . In the safety of the woods, Jethro’s power seems to surge, almost as if the trees and boulders of the forest rise up to greet him. He’s so different, so beautiful, so . . . inhuman. Before long, Jethro becomes Nicoletta’s obsession. And while the truth about his nature is terrifying, Nicoletta may already be in too deep. By turns alluring and unsettling, this novel from the author of the Janie Johnson series is unafraid to explore the stranger things in life. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Caroline B. Cooney including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

The Genesis Project Series is one book broken into three parts.Part One:A stranger man runs for his life from a squad of armed militia. He has no memory, no clue who they are or why they want him dead. Only one man knows the truth and that is Jack Logan, the leader of the mob. To Logan, the stranger poses the only threat to his plans for world domination, so Logan hunts him relentlessly. Ultimately, the wounded stranger winds up on the doorstep of Doctor Lazlow’s house. Doc is a semi-retired psychiatrist/ inventor who uses an experimental device that unlocks part of the stranger’s memory. They learn the world they are in is computer generated. A virtual world, and it has been infected with a Doomsday virus that can destroy the planet. The stranger’s name is John Neumann, the creator of the virtual environment. The only way to save the people is to get them out. To do that, John had to come into the world itself and reprogram the massive Genesis computer from the inside—but at the expense of wiping his mind clean. He has just 40 days to regain the remainder of his memory, 40 days to find the solution before the world explodes. His only option, however, may cost him his life.Part Two:John Neumann’s consciousness pushes through the ethereal light barrier and into the real world. His memory regained, John recalls the beginning of the Genesis Project. From the start, the vice president of his company, Jack Lokitus, and Judith Neumann, John’s wife, are against the project. The two lovers plot to discredit John as inept at the Board meeting so Lokitus can force a take over of John’s empire. However, when John demonstrates a mere fraction of the Genesis Machine’s power, the coup fails. He then fires Lokitus and one-third of the Board members. Lokitus goes insane with rage. That is when the killings start.One by one, Board members die and Lokitus frames John for their deaths. Neumann’s legal team keeps him out of jail. Throughout the virtual world’s development, Lokitus criminally harasses John’s crew. Then John has a brilliant idea for a new programming language for the Genesis Machine and the last piece of the puzzle falls into place. Finally, John initiates the creation sequence and the new world comes to life. Over the years, he inserts millions of people who are crippled or dying, giving them new hope and a new lease on life.A member of John’s inner circle betrays him and joins forces with Lokitus. They insert a Doomsday virus into the Genesis Machine that corrupts not only the ethereal matrix on which the world is built but also the spirits of everyone John inserted. In effect, Lokitus holds over a million people hostage, demanding Neumann relinquish his multi-billion dollar empire or he detonates the planet.Part Three:John Neumann is in desperate trouble. Having made connection with the Genesis Machine from Doc Lazlow’s lab, the house is now surrounded by Logan’s army. For his plan to work, he must evade them the five days it takes for the Genesis Machine to assimilate his ethereal and DNA data. If he dies, then Logan inherits the virtual world and Lokitus gains control of Neumann’s vast business empire. Fortunately, Tom and Nancy maintain constant vigilance in the real world’s Genesis lab. They help John escape, but how long can he truly hope to remain alive when so many are trying to kill him?Part Three brings together elements of Part One and Part Two, answering lingering questions and revealing Neumann’s ultimate goal. It is a must read to discover just how he plans on defeating Logan and Lokitus.LOOK BELOW AND BUY THE BUNDLE WHILE THE PRICE IS STILL LOW!

The Stranger, Camus's first novel, is both a brilliantly crafted story and an illustration of Camus's absurdist world view. The novel tells the story of an emotionally detached, amoral young man named Meursault. He does not cry at his mothers funeral, does not believe in God and kills a man he barely knows without any discernible motive. For his crime, Meursault is deemed a threat to society and sentenced to death. When he comes to accept the "gentle indifference of the world" he finds peace with himself and with the society that persecutes him.
