Living in the Doctor’s Nest by Anna-Karen Sorensen
About Living in the Doctor’s Nest by Anna-Karen Sorensen
“Ready?” the obstetrician asked as he turned his head towards me, his body still facing the mother. He was looking directly at me at that point, so I just nodded, and with his arm in position, he entered the mother and pierced the membranes to expedite the delivery.”
“Living in the Doctor’s Nest” is a compilation of stories about the life of a doctor who cares for extremely premature infants. As the stories unfold, we learn about the challenges that she faced as she began to practice in her field and how she ultimately fulfilled her goal of developing specialized units for the extremely premature newborn. Along the way, we get to know more about her family, lovers, and friends. We meet the nurses and respiratory therapists that provided the care, and we learn about the “scorpions,” the obstacles that lay in wait to derail the process along the way.

Until she falls into one.
Olivia falls into another land, a place with magic and two moons gleaming in the sky. A world of warriors, sorcery, and secrets that she needs to uncover.
Once in Tartae, where old magic is still very much alive, Olivia learns more about who she really is: a witch and warrior. She embarks on a dangerous journey through enchanted forests and sinister castle ruins, but fortunately, she has the help of powerful witches, wizards, mythical creatures and the ancient Clan that vowed to protect the Portals.
Now Olivia’s mission is to reconnect with the mighty Portals so she can destroy them and reestablish balance in all the worlds. Should she fail, evil will spread as never before, nature will perish, and the world will change forever.

How to Play the 3-String Cigar Box Guitar by Rick McKeon
About How to Play the 3-String Cigar Box Guitar by Rick McKeon
Having only three strings to work with might seem limiting, but its limitation is also its greatness! We need to make the most of what we have. This means that we need to play each note with expression and feeling. That’s what makes the music come alive! The music has to come from the player, not just the instrument. This approach is an excellent way to realize that less can actually be more if you make it so!
In this book (together with the online video lessons) you will learn the basics of right and left hand technique, chord construction, fingerpicking and slide playing, together with jamming and improvising on the blues.

Quest by A.J. Ponder
Sylvalla escapes Avondale castle and the life of a princess, in search of the adventure she’s always wanted, and ends up with an evil wizard, a mad king, and a whole city of troublemakers on her trail.
Fortunately, she’s not alone. Unfortunately, her new-found companions are less than heroic. Jonathan, would rather make money than learn wizardry. Dirk, would rather live a long and happy life than confront danger. And at 150, old Capro would rather stop gallivanting, and harangue unsuspecting wizardry students about his glory days over a nice cup of tea.
Quest has everything—heroes, monsters, chases, escapes and a complete lack of true love.
If you love Terry Pratchett and the Princess Bride, this is the book for you. This is a book for the real fantasy aficionado, as well as anyone just looking for a good old-fashioned adventure.

And that’s because there’s no better place to be if you want to keep an eye on stray taniwha, while not missing out on coffee.
