A woman runs through the night, seeking safety, a place to hide. She has no shoes. Her feet are bleeding. A town appears out of the night. Stumbling through the streets, she breaks into a flat. She takes some food and contemplates her next move when the flat's occupant comes home. She hides in the basement. Tristan, a part time actor, enters his kitchen to find a broken window and bloody footprints. He follows the footprints into his basement and finds Jane 23. "They're coming," she tells him. Then attacks. They are coming and they want her alive. She could mean a better future, or disaster for society. Only she can choose. An adventure in the tradition of 'Romancing the Stone' and loosely based on Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shrew.'

Before the crash of Freedom Airlines flight 121… There was a top-secret research compound hidden deep in the desert. There was a girl held prisoner in a restricted sector. And there was a boy who found her. And risked everything to set her free. Romantic and action-packed, Undiscovered is sure to thrill fans of Jessica Brody’s Unremembered trilogy. In this 100-page novella, told from Zen’s point of view, more secrets are revealed about Seraphina’s forgotten past, the corporation that created her, and the boy who fell in love with her. Undiscovered also includes a sneak peek of Unforgotten, the anticipated second book in the trilogy.

Moby Dx: A Novel of Silicon Valley is the story of the life, times, trials and tribulations, loves, families, business partners, students, and college roommates of one-time MIT Professor and Moby Dx co-founder, Max Frood—as told by Princeton graduate Lakshmi Stein. Copyright 2014 by Melvillean Press, LLC Drink the Kool-Aid, or Don't Drink the Kool-Aid? That is the question of this novel. Full of intrigue, bad behavior, sex, and a vivid look at where we live, its characters discuss the workings of the venture business, trends in big data, biotechnology, and the history of modern biology. See www.mobydx.com for more information, reviews, an author interview, newsletter signup, etc. Moby Dx is a company. In the jargon of biotech, Dx is shorthand for diagnostics. Pronounce the title however you like, but I call it Moby D X. What's put up on Wattpad is Volume 1, Max Ebb. There will be six volumes. The Prologue to Volume 1 is an introduction to Silicon Valley, written as a takeoff on Melville's hilarious chapter on Nantucket. Then the reader is put in the able hands of narrator Lakshmi Stein who tells her origin story before jumping back in time to set up her introduction to Jay Orrix, Max Frood, and molecular biology. We follow Max from Cambridge, to Southeast Asia, to France, and to Cambridge. We know Silicon Valley is coming, but like everyone who lives there, they have to get there first. If you want to binge on Volume 1 rather than drink from the serialization on Wattpad, then go to Amazon where the book becomes available on Feb 10. There's a much needed glossary on in it, too. For a subscription to all six volumes, go to www.gum.co/mobydx.
