When a nativity display on public property is torched by a former US Senator, the media spotlight falls on the forgotten small town of Leonard, Texas, and the new pastor of its only church—Adam Wells. Emboldened by the prospect of leading his tiny congregation in a nationally-televised, first amendment debate that he considers to be a “fight for the heart and soul of America,” Pastor Wells determines not to let anything or anyone, including his wife and his rebellious sixteen-year old daughter, stand in his way. But when an old high school friend unexpectedly shows up in their small town and a past secret is revealed, Pastor Wells’ constitutional crusade collides with an even greater fight—the fight for the heart and soul of his marriage, his daughter, and, even his own life. In this modern-day story of betrayal, forgiveness, and finally redemption, Adam Wells discovers, for the first time, the meaning of the story he’s been preaching all his life...and his desperate daughter understands what really is beyond the farthest star. Award-winning authors, Bodie and Brock Thoene, have written an emotional and authentic drama based on a screenplay by Andrew Librizzi and now a major motion picture.

She’s a sparkly Hollywood actress out of her element in the rainy Pacific Northwest. He’s the sexy, grumpy hotel owner she turns to for help when the paparazzi threaten to take away everything she’s got. Actress Domino West’s life is picture perfect. Until it isn’t. Dumped by text—during one of the most important meetings of her career—she volunteers to self-exile on a tiny, rain-soaked island in the middle of nowhere. Her mission? Find the perfect location to shoot her next movie—and escape the relentless gaze of the paparazzi. Grumpy, sexy, exasperating Forest Russo is determined to fix up the Driftwood Inn, and he’s hell-bent on doing it on his own. But with tourist season only months away, he and his sister, Fern, are up against the clock—and the wet, gray winter in the Pacific Northwest. The last thing he needs is a beautiful, high-maintenance movie star and the pack of paparazzi following her to get in his way.

Sparks fly, passions flare, and Domino begins to realize this charming little island—and its inhabitants—are imprinted on her soul. With Domino's producing partners breathing down her neck, she’s got to work fast—not just to save her career but because the longer she stays, the more she doesn't want to leave.

You can't choose what you are, except when you can.It's only been a few months since first contact and, although peaceful, humanity will never be the same. The new treaty with the Mendians is seemingly too good to be true; free access to hundreds of star systems and the means to get there. All they ask in return is that humanity make the Mendian's "Path of the Other" free to any who desire it. Although following it means to surrender your humanity, for the UEA leadership, the price is worth it. After all, who would choose that?Joyce and John were both born feeling different, like they were meant to be something else, a feeling they've never been able to share except with each other. Now they can become anything and suddenly there is hope. Joyce can't wait to be one of the first human-animal hybrids called Morphics. John is supportive but worried about the risks and the stigma from society as distrust of the treaty grows.A great divide is growing within humanity between those who see the hope for a new age of mankind and those who fear the beginning of the end for humanity itself.Hope or fear, the lines are drawn, and to the victor goes the fate of humanity itself.

In the far future, a dormant android awakes on a vast starship to find humanity's last hopes rest with him. Launched to carry the human species across the galaxy, Starship's generations-long journey has crumbled as machines took everything from their human creators, including life itself. Given a mission by humanity's last digital remnants, Gamma must traverse Starship's vast, dangerous bulk in search of a way to preserve Starship's original purpose. Yet Gamma isn't the only intelligent machine on Starship, and some want a very different end as the spacecraft approaches its final destination. As he confronts the mechs that've claimed Starship as their own, the key to Gamma's survival will come not only from his metal fists, but from figuring out why Starship's humans fell in the first place. A far-future science fiction action adventure that blends the real and virtual worlds, The Farthest Star kicks off a series that will have you wondering whether what makes us human comes from our biology, or our beliefs.
