Deep in the heart of the Amazon, an expedition finds evidence of a fabled lost city of gold.

When there are half-masticated bodies popping up on the radar, any hunter worth their salt will sit up and take notice. So, when they started showing up in Oklahoma, Noah and I beat cheeks back down there to try to recover what we lost. But Fate isn’t exactly a grandma holding out a piece of hard candy. More often, it’s a playground bully dangling loogies over your face. So, after a little flamingo-necktie-assisted arson, a near-luxury car full of demons, some car trouble, and a game of human whack-a-mole, we were once again out of leads.

Anna Issac's choices are bleak. Suicide is more appealing than marrying the revolting Frenchman her spiteful brother has chosen for her. The only other option is to beg a man she barely knows, a Highlander, to help her run away. Escape would be a challenge for any 15-year-old, but it is particularly difficult for a Jewess living in 17th century Scotland. Anna's tale would have remained a secret, except three centuries later the death of Hanna Duncan's father on 9/11 unleashes a chain of events that leads her to an ancient key with a peculiar etching.

A must-listen audiobook for the Black and Brown communities! Financial Literacy & Ownership, from conception this audiobook was meant to facilitate the delivery of a singular, but broad message. My message is that of financial literacy and ownership; ownership of assets, real property, commodities, businesses, and intellectual property. Financial literacy and ownership are sorely lacking in the Black community and this fact is, has been, and shall continue to stymie the growth and the evolution of the Black community until we infuse a paradigm shift in our communal thinking.

You wonder why a lot of people who engage in dieting tend to lose weight temporarily. That’s is because dieting is a temporary solution to losing weight. When you diet for some time, the moment you get the desired result, you tend to quit dieting to go back to your usual eating habits, and then the weight comes right back up. Diets have short-term goals, the moment the plan (which is you losing weight) is reached, the dieting stops. But have you ever considered making it a lifestyle, as well?

After St. Louis, I knew it was time to seat the cannibal tribe in the "past tense" section of living. I mean, you just don't kidnap someone's demon accountant. That's just frickin' rude. Of course, now we're doing the chasing, like a couple of shotgun-toting girls hunting down our dates to the Sadie Hawkins' dance.

It turns out Addison was right: The world as he knew it did come to an end by means of a killer virus.

But the virus didn’t quite kill everybody. And humanity isn't all that humane anymore.
