This crazy story starts when thirty-one-year-old Leeward Daniel Thompson sells his business and his home, buys a used RV, and hits the road. Fate intervenes, and he picks up a woman walking in high heels along the highway who doesn’t know her name. Together, they rescue a baby from a ditch as well as a couple of abandoned kids. If it sounds like a recipe for disaster, it probably is: one gentleman, one lady, two kids, and a baby. They are complete strangers thrown together by fate or circumstances. Lee should know you could be arrested for smuggling a baby into the United States, and that you can’t just pick up a couple of kids. But then, he hasn’t reckoned with the old British lady in the tweed suit.

For years, Wardsville sat nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, a peaceful small town. The kind of place where neighbors care for each other.

Suddenly, this quiet town is torn in two as neighbor turns on neighbor. The fate of the project and the future of the town rest on the decision by the county board, but when someone may have gone as far as cold-blooded murder, is anyone safe?

How to build a transportation system to provide mobility for all Road to Nowhere exposes the flaws in Silicon Valley’s vision of the future: ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft to take us anywhere; electric cars to make them ‘green’; and automation to ensure transport is cheap and ubiquitous. Such promises are implausible and potentially dangerous. As Paris Marx shows, these technological visions are a threat to our ideas of what a society should be. Electric cars are not a silver bullet for sustainability, and autonomous vehicles won’t guarantee road safety. There will not be underground tunnels to eliminate traffic congestion, and micromobility services will not replace car travel any sooner than we will see the arrival of the long-awaited flying car. In response, Marx offers a vision for a more collective way of organizing transportation systems that considers the needs of poor, marginalized, and vulnerable people. The book argues that rethinking mobility can be the first step in a broader reimagining of how we design and live in our future cities. We must create streets that allow for social interaction and conviviality. We need reasons to get out of our cars and to use public means of transit determined by community needs rather than algorithmic control. Such decisions should be guided by the search for quality of life rather than for profit.

There comes a time for all of us when the outer destinations no longer satisfy and we finally understand that the love and happiness we seek cannot be found outside of us. It must be found in our own hearts, on the other side of our pain. This book makes it clear that we can no longer rely on outer teachers or teachings to find our spiritual identity. Nor can we find who we are in relationships where boundaries are blurred and one person makes decisions for another. If we want to be authentic, we can't allow anyone else to be an authority for us, nor can we allow ourselves to be an authority for another person. This provocative book challenges many of our basic assumptions about personal happiness and the meaning of our relationship with others and with God.

The sorceress of psychological suspense, Ninie Hammon, is back with a new stand-alone novel in the world of her deeply unsettling Nowhere, USA series. Desperate to get her life back on track, Brianna Haggarty has come home to Nower County to do one thing: make amends by building her grandmother a chicken coop to replace the one she burned down as a pot-smoking teenager. But when she arrives, her grandmother is gone. There’s absolutely nothing in her house — no furniture, not so much as a gum wrapper. The rest of the county’s residents have vanished, too. Dawson McCade is running for his life, hunted by assassins who would do anything to keep him from testifying. If he can just make it to the safe house in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky … But when he gets there, nobody’s home. They’ve vanished, along with everyone else. Cade forms an alliance with Brianna. He’ll help build her chicken house, she’ll keep him safe. And they'll both try to figure out what malevolent force could possibly snatch a whole county of people off the face of the earth. Then the killers show up. Can they survive attacks by trained assassins and find the vanished loved ones they've lost? ★★★★★ "I found this book captivating. I fell in love with the two main characters – Brianna Haggarty and Dawson McCade. They form a strange alliance as they both face demons from the past. I want to know more about these two young people and hope that Hammon brings them back in a sequel to this story. I hope it’s not just wishful thinking." -- Bonsterblack ★★★★★ "I’m really glad I found this author. Since reading Road to Nowhere I’ve picked up the rest of the series and The Last Safe Place, also great! This story was part Twilight Zone, part Stephen King (but less ghoulish). I can just hear Rod Serling narrating. A real page turner." -- Sherie ★★★★★ "Ninie has done it again!!! I fell in love with the characters Cade and Brianna from the first chapter. It just gets better and better as you read page after page as well as heart pounding things happening. It was so hard to put down. I absolutely hated the story to end. This is a book you don’t want to miss!! Write on Ninie can’t wait for your next book. Don’t make us wait to long." -- Cora A Myers ★★★★★ "I love Ninie Hammons characters. They become like friends and family. She has such a way with dialogue. I find myself laughing out loud." -- Lollipop Fans of Justified, Under The Dome, and LOST will love settling down to spend some time in Nowhere USA.
