About Before I Wake~Travels Across Time/Book One:
Historical novelist Magdalena Moore is haunted by the black-haired, black-eyed knight she first encountered during a past life regression. Across a lifetime, Magdalena searches for the truth about Ranulf Navarre and his wife, the meek, complaint Lady Jane.
At Tintagel Castle, Magdalena is miraculously transported to thirteenth-century England, where she is Lady Jane, and Lord Navarre is her husband. But Ranulf is not the man of her imagination.
Why is Ranulf so cold and Janey so erratic? What secrets are they hiding? When England plunges into civil war, Ranulf backs the wrong side. Knowing he is destined to die in battle, Magdalena tries desperately to cheat fate, save Ranulf, and finally find happiness. But when her secrets are laid bare—or more specifically Lady Jane’s secrets—Magdalena fears Ranulf can never forgive her. And if he cannot, will they be forced to replay their doomed love yet again?
The Bet by Alexia Chase
Can the taste of her treats tempt her best friend’s brother?
Chloe
Not those kinds of treats! Okay… well… maybe those too.
See…. I’m a baker. A damn good one too. A sweet one…. see the irony? Except, my jerk of an ex-boyfriend made a $500 bet to pluck my cherry (and not the pastry kind).
I’m not so sweet now because I’m out for revenge. And I’ve got just the perfect hot fireman in mind…. my best friend’s brother.
Rich
She’s my sister’s best friend. That’s a no-go, right? Not to mention I’m not good enough for sugar that sweet.
But now her sweet just got a little spicey with her plot for revenge.
A few fake dates lead to kisses that threaten to burn down the kitchen.
And now I’m obsessed with baked goods and the woman who makes them.
But can my spicey and her sweet mix?

About What Comes Before:
This book is not only a stand-alone thriller it is also the newly released third book in the Heirs and Descendants Series, being published on the 4th of January this year.
The first book in this series; The Desolate Garden, was under a paid option to become a thirty-million-dollar-film, until, unfortunately, the option failed to materialise when it reached the distribution stage. However, not all was lost!
The publicity Mr Kemp received: an appearance on the BBC nationwide news programme, plus an article in a London evening newspaper, resulted in Mr Kemp being invited by Waterstone’s Bookshops on a countrywide tour signing that first novel of his.
This novel, ‘What Comes Before,’ carries that story, first told in The Desolate Garden and then Percy Crow, forward, to when——
Lord Harry Paterson, Sheriff of the County of Yorkshire, is coerced back to work for the British Security Services after witnessing the macabre death of a beautiful, young woman at a grouse shoot hosted by his friend and ex-fellow army officer, Viscount Winston Bottomly.
Unbeknownst to Harry, the woman – the Viscount’s fiancée – had stolen a top-secret file from the French consulate in London, containing information about an innovative encryption method called post quantum signal cryptography. With the power to endanger every communication method in use between allied nations, the document – in the wrong hands – could completely change the balance of power between East and West.
To avoid a technological threat to world safety, Harry is instructed to find the file and eliminate all those who have seen its contents. But does he still have what it takes to get the job done?
About The Mystery of Julia Episcopa: A tale of Ancient and Modern Rome by John I. Rigoli :
In ancient Rome, a woman flees for her life.
Her enemies are those she once called ‘brother’.
Hidden beneath her blue cloak are secrets men will kill for.
Forgeries that prove the newly self-appointed bishops are not followers of the way, but pretenders who have seized power and will stop at nothing to shape this new religion to their own ends. Now, Julia – a woman who had once walked with Mary Magdalene and taught alongside Paul must preserve the legacy of the apostles in the face of terrifying danger.
Two thousand years later, classical archaeologists Valentina Vella and Erika Simone are tasked with advising the newly-elected Pope on the historical legacy of women in the early Christian period.
The women stumble across an ancient parchment buried deep in the Vatican archives, a document that has clearly been altered. They find themselves on the trail of a woman who may have been the first woman Bishop in the Catholic faith. To reveal Julia’s legacy will put them in the cross-hairs of a venomous Vatican battle for power and supremacy; to stay silent would make them complicit in an ancient heresy and would betray the teachings that Julia sacrificed her life to defend.
The Mystery of Julia Episcopa weaves seamlessly between modern day Rome and the politics of the Catholic church, and the times and life of a 1st century Roman noblewoman who rose to be a dominant force in the early Christian movement.
Three women connected by two intertwined stories of treacherous political intrigues, ancient cover-ups, and savage vengeance.
About Featured Book: Visions of Johanna by Peter Sarno
"A beautifully written literary novel . . . Sarno's use of metaphors and lush language draws readers into the story . . . [who] may shed a tear or two before the final page is turned."
—BlueInk, Starred Review
Johanna, an artist, and Matt, a music critic, couldn’t be more different, but by a simple twist of fate, she plucks him from a crowd at a Dylan concert. What follows is a heady and intense relationship buffeted by the usual suspects that gently rocked the ‘80s. Matt’s lessons in art—as well as life—at the hands of Johanna, drive the novel into pockets of feminism and quiet revolution. All of this is tempered by deeply held traumatic secrets that torque their intimacy.
Yet it's Revere—and not Boston—that remains one of the underlying attractions in "Visions of Johanna". This north shore backdrop brings Matt into full focus—a child in a city of recent immigrants, life by the ocean, the bilious flavor of the Mob are just some of the elements rendered in skillful detail. Johanna, a renegade from Wisconsin—freewheeling and hyper-energized—draws Matt out of his comfort zone and into her world.
A meditation on art and unrest, "Visions of Johanna" celebrates life, love, memory and the undying power of the deep connections that sustain us. The novel follows Johanna and Matt as they pursue their dreams to paint and to write. But burdening problems collide with these artistic desires and other forces conspire against them. Ultimately, the two are done in by their inability to share aspects of their past they believe they must hide from.
The novel travels through time and social unrest to the final moment hinted at in the prologue. Within this book's pages, tragedies haunt, acts of moral goodness manifest themselves, and benevolence reigns with a finality that absolves all.
"A beautifully intimate romance that doesn't shy away from challenging topics."
—Publishers Weekly's BookLife
“This would be a perfect book club book. With questions that address the concepts of faith and hope to the efforts put towards the women’s movement, there is a lot that can be talked about…Detailed, wonderfully written, and thought-provoking, 'Visions of Johanna' will have readers thinking long after they put the book down.”
— Kristi Elizabeth, Manhattan Book Review

BEGINNERS COURSE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Fundamentals and Practices With Python by Emenwa Global
The most important thing you must learn here is the best language for Artificial Intelligence as a beginner. There are tons of languages that are designed specifically for AI and machine learning. But the best bet for any beginner is Python.
I say this because it’s the industry standard for machine learning and artificial intelligence. If you get a job in this field, chances are you’re probably using Python to do most of your work. It’s great because you don’t only use it for machine learning, Python can do many other things, and it’s probably one of the more accessible languages to pick up and start using as a beginner.
I also recommend Python because it has the most modules (libraries) and community support for machine learning and artificial intelligence.
I recommend starting with Python. As you get more advanced, you can move into more specific languages, but python is a great one to get started with.
Artificial intelligence uses computers and technology to simulate the human mind’s problem-solving and decision-making abilities. In its most basic form, artificial intelligence is a field that combines computer science and large datasets to solve problems. It also includes the subfields of machine learning and deep learning, which are commonly referenced in the context of artificial intelligence. AI algorithms are used in these areas to develop expert systems that make predictions or classifications based on input data.
In its most basic form, AI (artificial intelligence) refers to systems or robots that mimic human intelligence to execute tasks and can iteratively improve themselves based on the data they collect. AI manifests itself in a variety of ways. Here are a few examples:
AI is used by chatbots to more quickly and effectively comprehend client questions and respond accurately.
AI is used by smart assistants to extract essential data from massive free-text datasets to optimize scheduling.
Based on the watching patterns of consumers, recommendation engines can generate automated recommendations for TV programs.
Rather than focusing on one format or function, AI is far more about the process and the ability for superhuman reasoning and data processing. Although ideas of high-functioning, human-like robots taking over the world conjure up images of AI, the technology is not intended to replace people. Its goal is to vastly improve human skills and contributions. As a result, it is a vital commercial asset.
