She didn't fall, she was pushed. Let me explain more, yeah? She was pushed, by her best friends, into a guy- but not just any guy. Cyrus Angelo, the infamous Cyrus Angelo. Maverly Perkins is full of witty comebacks, a loud laugh, and has a fierce attitude. Love doesn't come easy to her but does it to anyone? Just as Maverly is giving up on guys, due to a past experience with a jerk, she's pushed into something she doesn't want to get involved with, literally. No, not something- more like someone; Cyrus Angelo to be exact. But somethings different about him; her usual witty and sarcastic comments become stutters and nervous babbling. What is this feeling in the pit of her stomach? A crush? Love? Of course not. Cyrus Angelo- those are the two words that make guys run and girls swoon. No one talks to him, threatens him, touches him, or talks back to him. The last time any one of these things happened; someone ended up in a hospital for 6 weeks in the intensive care unit. But what happens when Maverly breaks all those rules... within a 2 minute period? After a promise to 'see her later,' too many awkward moments to count, crazy parties where a few people get drunk and tell their life story in full detail, funny experiences of falling, failing, and fighting, terrible flirting, and stupid games of truth or dare- Who knows what could happen? And to think it all started with a push. --- THIS COVER WAS MADE BY A FAN.

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.

This book is now available on Amazon and unfortunately they won't allow me to put it up elsewhere for free, not even the unedited draft. Sorry! The Vikings! Aelswyn had heard about them, all the tales of their barbaric behaviour, the rapes and pillages, the massacres, the burnt villages. But she never thought they would dare to attack her father's stronghold. And that they would succeed...

Look, I'm going to tell you this honestly. Somewhere out there in this floating sphere of green and blue, there's a person who acts just like you. It's the combinations of different personalities - which eventually lead up to an actual human being - that makes us all unique.

Let's face it. There are way more cliché books on this website than there are unique ones. Even the ones people say are unique tend to have some kind of cliché undertone. And then the ones that really are unique almost never ever get discovered. And it sucks. But for those of you who don't know your book is cliché, this book is for you. Because it seems to me like that is the case for some people. Not all books are going to be entirely unique, but sometimes there needs to be a balance between both sides. And I'm here to help you find it. If there are 500 words in a chapter, can you spot the clichés?
