There is a new wave invading our space, promising to fundamentally alter the way we do everything, from everyday business, to how we interact socially. However, this is a very quiet revolution, for though all can clearly see things changing, yet it is not at all clear what it means, or what it is all leading to. Nevertheless, the implementation of this aEURoeBrave New WorldaEUR is being fostered upon us all, whether we notice it or not. What I am speaking of here is the innovation of modern technology and how it has influenced us in our perspectives, and how we live our everyday lives. We have indeed gone through these revolutions before, which have radically changed our lives; things like the industrial revolution, or the discovery and development of electricity, but with the introduction of aEURoeartificial intelligenceaEUR and the advancing of aEURoesmart machines,aEUR we are defiantly venturing uncharted seas. Throughout the evolution of technology, we have basically understood the machines we have made, but we are coming to a frontier where that is no longer true. We have created machines which perform tasks of which we do not completely understand, and this is only the beginning. There is a tremendous amount of good which has come of technology, but there is usually some negatives of unintended consequences which we must deal with after the fact. The dynamics of this new world coming upon us is extremely rapid, being driven by the economics, which leaves very little time for the consideration of those unintended consequences. This book is intended to provide the perspective in order to navigate the waters of the unknown, and to be able ride the waves of advancing technology, without being overcome by them.

Newly divorced and determined to reclaim her life, Leslie Morgan, bestselling author of Crazy Love and Mommy Wars, decided to spend a year searching for five new lovers in this “highly stimulating story of a midlife education” and “steamy, liberating tale of self-exploration and self-love” (Kirkus Reviews). When Leslie Morgan divorced after a twenty-year marriage, both her self-esteem and romantic optimism were shattered. She was determined to avoid the cliché of the “lonely, middle-aged divorcée” lamenting her stretch marks and begging her kids to craft her online dating profile. Instead, Leslie celebrated her independence with an audacious plan: she would devote a year to seeking out five lovers in hopes of unearthing the erotic adventures and authentic connections long missing from her life. Clumsy and clueless at first, she overcame mortifying early missteps, buoyed by friends and blind faith. And so she found men at yoga class, the airport, and high school reunions—all without the torture of dating websites. Along the way she uncovered new truths about sex, aging, men, self-confidence, and what it means to be a woman over fifty today. Packed with fearless, evocative details, The Naked Truth is a rare, unexpected, and wildly entertaining memoir about a soccer mom who rediscovers the magic of sexual and emotional connection, and the lasting gifts of reveling in your femininity at every age.

The Naked Truth takes you inside the limiting beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. Joie lets you see the raw and painful side of womanhood and how you can glean important lessons from every twist and turn.

From #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel. It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought… Until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man crouched down and looking at me like he wanted to eat me alive, was none other than my ex, Gray Westbrook. A man who I’d only just begun to move on from. A man who my heart despised—yet my body obviously still had other ideas about. A man who was as charismatic and confident as he was sexy. Somehow, I managed to make it through my presentation ignoring his intense stare. Although it was impossible to ignore all the dirty things he whispered into my ear right after I was done. But there was no way I was giving him another chance, especially now that he was a client …was there?
