An omega raised as a wealthy human in the lap of luxury... A Harley riding alpha who rules a pack of pot-growing wolves in a commune... what was fate thinking? Sky Blackwood is an omega wolf who's only ever lived a fabulous, all-too-human existence in the wilds of... Beverly Hills. A place where your best friend will smile in your face while stabbing you in the back if there's money or fame involved. His Gramps told him all about fated mates and the old-school shifters who still live in packs, but those were just stories. Until they aren't. Sold by his family, Sky's saved from the auctioneer's block by Devon-a sexy alpha wolf who looks like surfer Thor, drives an even sexier Harley, and smells like everything Sky never knew he wanted. If fated mates are real, what if all those other stories about packlife are as well? Sky feels like he's on the best adventure ever as he learns to live like a shifter. With Devon's help, he's ready to settle into the peaceful commune life. Only problem? Even paradise can be a camouflage for something darker. Having grown up among people who hid their evil behind friendly smiles and designer clothes, Sky soon realizes Devon needs help if they're to survive the unseen threat. He's not worried, he was taught to "handle people" from the cradle, a few hippies with criminal intentions shouldn't be too difficult, right? The pack's problems are easy to fix, but his real issue... not so much. What exactly is expected of an omega and how is he supposed to actually do it? Fortunately, his mate's brothers know a few omegas who are all too happy to help. The West Coast Wolves is an mpreg series about five alphas. A small pack of bikers who spent years riding the highways and helping those in need until fate gave them each a pack to lead. This 78k full-length novel is Devon's story. Prepare yourself for a dual pregnancy, an omega discovering his power, and more giggles than are appropriate during violent scenes. But then again, this is a Susi Hawke book, so what else can you expect?

Will we ever be able to see the brain at work? Could it be possible to observe thinking and feeling as if watching a live broadcast from within the human head? Brainmedia uncovers past and present examples of scientists and science educators who conceptualize and demonstrate the active human brain guided by new media technologies. Drawing on original archival material, Brainmedia outlines a new history of “live brains,” arguing that practices of - and ideas about - mediation impacted the imagination of seeing the brain at work. Through five carefully researched and illustrated historical case studies, Flora Lysen shows the conceptual but also practical assembling of brains and media: from exhibitions of giant illuminated brain models and staged projections of brainwave recordings; to live televised brain broadcasts, brains hooked up to computers and experiments with “brain-to-brain” synchronization. By combining accounts of scientists examining brains in laboratories with examples of public demonstrations and exhibitions of brain research, Brainmedia casts new light on popularization practices, placing them at the heart of scientific work. The book argues that a vital part of brain research is the performing of knowledge with and through media. This means that the significance attributed to neuroscientific research today also much depends on the changing forms of fascination that ultimately allow for the persistence of promises of seeing the live brain at work.

An awkward, traumatized omega and a patient alpha determined to court him properly... fate has a way of righting old wrongs. Stolen from his mother's arms and reported stillborn at birth, Tom spent nearly twenty-one years in structured captivity with other stolen omegas. His brothers. A dozen omegas, each with a secret superpower, who now must learn a whole new skill-how to thrive in a modern world. Not every brother emerged from their past unscathed, and Tom had the worst of it. His key to survival was a healthy respect for rules. Now that he's free, he's still a little bit obsessive and a whole lot compulsive. He's got anxiety, fear of change... and a list of plans for his future. None of which involved finding a fated mate. But if they had? His plans definitely wouldn't have been to meet his dream alpha while smelling of afterbirth and the blood of an enemy killed in defense of his pregnant brother-the same brother whose child he then had to deliver... post-shift and naked. If he'd been planning, if he'd made a list and checked it twice, Tom never could've designed an alpha more perfectly devoted than the delicious one fate put in front of him during one of the craziest days of his life... an alpha so patient, he insists on courting the skittish omega.

The beautiful female tests my patience... and all my control. I should stay away. I can't protect the pack if I succumb to my desires. But what if this is more than desire? What if Fate matched me with this human, and she's my mate? If I don't claim her, I'll lose it all in the worst possible way.
