![]() ![]() “He’s very versatile,” Julian says, leading me toward the plush seats. “He drives and flies planes for you?” I ask Julian after Lucas is gone. “It’s nice to meet you too, Nora.” And turning around, he disappears into the pilot’s area at the front. “All set.” Then he looks at me, his face as expressionless as before. Instead he asks, “Is everything ready for us at the estate?” The corner of Julian’s mouth lifts in a faint smile, but he doesn’t respond to that. “I was just doing my job,” he says, his voice deep and slightly amused. His eyebrows arch a little, as though I said something that surprised him. I can’t even begin to thank you for what you did-” “Oh, I see.” I beam at the man, my smile wide and genuine. He’s the one who dragged me out of the warehouse.” “Good.” Julian keeps his arm around me, pressing me against his side when I try to step away. “We’re ready for takeoff.” An unfamiliar male voice startles me, and I let go of Julian, looking back to see the blond driver standing there, watching us with an unreadable expression on his hard face. Wrapping my arms around Julian’s waist, I hug him fiercely. I can feel the heat of his body seeping through my clothes, chasing away the memory of those awful months when I thought I’d lost him. “No, I’m fine.” Nevertheless, I enjoy Julian’s warmth as he pulls me toward him and rubs my arms for a few seconds. “Are you cold?” he asks, stepping toward me. The thought causes a shudder to run through me, and Julian notices my involuntary movement. ![]() ![]() The Anderson Line series was published under the pen name Simon McKay.

![]() ![]() ![]() My best friends are super critical and it helps us all to not become static and question what we do/how we do it. I think maybe a good thing to say in advance of answering that is a person’s intentions matter. Oh wow, there's been so much! And often well-deserved. What was the first real professional criticism that you took to heart? I’ve changed so much since I started work in publishing, when I was twenty years old. I'm extremely sensitive and aware, and although this causes me to be affected by all kinds of things, I'm also able to-eventually-regard them more cooly and process them. It wasn't! How do you consider yourself thin-skinned then? Do you take feedback personally, or…? I think I know the answer but: do you consider yourself thick-skinned? With a sturdy online presence detailing a well curated life of fashion and art and the like, it seems natural that you’d be willing to discuss the negative feedback that comes with such a public existence. Today I’m with Stephanie LaCava, the author of the memoir AN EXTRAORDINARY THEORY OF OBJECTS, with words in The Paris Review, Interview Magazine, Tin House and more. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tessa’s not sure if she really can save him-not without sacrificing herself. ![]() He needs her.īut the more layers of his past come to light, the darker he grows, and the harder he pushes Tessa-and everyone else in his life-away.

Tessa is no longer the sweet, simple, good girl she was when she met Hardin-any more than he is the cruel, moody boy she fell so hard for. ![]() But when a revelation about the past shakes Hardin’s inpenetrable façade to the core-and then Tessa suffers a tragedy-will they stick together again, or be torn apart?Īs the shocking truth about each of their families emerges, it’s clear the two lovers are not so different from each other. It’s never been all rainbows and sunshine for Tessa and Hardin, but each new challenge they’ve faced has only made their passionate bond stronger and stronger. ![]() Tessa and Hardin have defied all the odds, but will their fairy tale ending be turned on its head?

Murderbot – a name it gave itself after being involved years ago in a massacre of the humans it was supposed to be guarding on a remote mining moon – is a SecUnit. But then I started to try and tamp down my expectations because … could it match the first installment with Murderbot’s deadpan, sarcastic, leave-me-alone humor? I think I actually did a wiggle, happy dance in my chair when I got the notification that I’d been given an ARC. I’m well and truly hooked on “The Murderbot Diaries” and so thankful that I didn’t have to wait a year for the next installment. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks…īut you may have noticed that for a terrifying murderbot I fuck up a lot. ![]() ![]() Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don’t want to know what the “A” stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue. But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. A past that caused it to christen itself “Murderbot”. It has a dark past-one in which a number of humans were killed. ![]() ![]() ![]() The forces gather, sides are drawn, and mortal men can only die as the Dark Lords battle for dominion.
