Earwig's family have been the guardians of this particular nexus and the monster that connects it for a thousand years. Now that era of peace has come to an end. Violence, hunger, and death have returned with a vengeance. In order to save his father, Earwig must go in search of a way to love a monster, break a king's curse and save the world.  

Goat Song: A Love Story

Thirteen-year-old Blaine never expected to become a parent overnight. But when a sudden plague wipes out every adult in their tiny village, he's all his little sister Peggy has left. Just as their world begins to crumble, Peggy rescues a massive, battle goat. A KampfZiegen she cheerfully names Fluffy.

Survival becomes even more complicated when enigmatic Finnish fae step out of legend and into their lives. Haltia are hunting for Peggy, believing she is destined to become the next Sampo, a living conduit for ancient magick. With danger closing in, Blaine and Peggy flee into the wilderness beyond their empty town, but the wilds hold terrors of their own. Stalked by a colossal bear, shadowed by a wolf, starving and pursued by fae whose motives are their own. Blaine must face forces older and darker than anything he's ever imagined. To protect his sister, he must confront ancient magick, fickle allies, monstrous threats-and the fear that he is not enough.

Just F-ing Finish: A Couch To 100k Survival Guide

Maybe you have only finished a marathon at a respectable six and a half hours. Maybe you haven’t even finished a 5k fun run, but for some reason or another you were inspired by a moment of insanity, drunkenness or perhaps indomitable confidence to sign up for a 100 mile ultra marathon.

Your next thought may be, “What the hell am I doing? I'm no David Goggins or Ashley Paulson. Is this even possible for someone like me?”

Breathe. First things first. How much time do you have? If the ultra is in two weeks, you may need to seek divine intervention to get through it.

However, If you have a little bit of time, like six months to a year, then take a deep breath.

Next, ask yourself, are you willing to commit to seeing a training plan through? Are you willing to do that even if it seems like your progress is at times slow or maybe even nonexistent?

Training isn’t like the movies, where after a quick montage everything moves decidedly in a positive direction.

We don’t improve by leaps and bounds most of the time. Rather by an imperceptible crawl. The most important thing is to do the work.

Most days it will be less than an hour at a time but some of your weekends may see you running Saturday and Sunday for eight or more hours. (By the time that is required, you will be able to do it.)
