Lonely and bored in a new town, Deb Davis was having a hard time adjusting to her new life. With her kids gone to college and her husband as remote as ever, Deb turns to a local women’s club for companionship, but gets lost along the way. Finding her way into a local gaming shop, Deb gravitates toward a group playing a fantasy RPG and asks to join the motley crew of younger players. As the adventure progresses, Deb falls first in love with the game, and then with the woman she can be, as the lines between her drab reality and her bravest fantasies blur.

In the New Action City, the skyline glitters and the pavement steams. Life is a little more exciting than your average town, due largely to the fact that in New Action City, heroes and villains with superhuman abilities constantly clash. In New Action City banks are robbed, monsters are defeated, and super-scientific machines threaten mass destruction on a daily basis. In this tale from New Action City, Colin and River North, two super-powered brothers - one a hard working hero who just wants to do right for his neighborhood, one a sinister villain masquerading as a wealthy philanthropist - have to put aside a lifetime of conflict to save New Action City from biggest threat it’s ever faced: them.

Could it be?! Has Laura once again stepped into the world of fan-fiction!? The answer is yes! To commemorate the beginning of an all new third season of her other podcast YA, We Read It! Laura wanted one last hurrah with the series they read for Season 2. This time she writes/explores what she wished the spin-off book in the series would have been if it was a Dr. Cable origin story. TLDR, it'd be awesome. 

It’s the day of Grandpa Benji and Grandma Penny’s third or forth wedding (who’s counting) and their family has assembled in Myrtle Beach for the occasion.

Tune in for a tale of love, catering, and second (or third or fourth) chances.
