Wang Chu studies computer science at one of Beijing's most prestigious universities. That's when he can be bothered to attend.
Mostly he dreams of being the next dot-com billionaire - or any other way of making money with minimum effort.
He lives in fear of his parents, whose expectations he can never meet, sharing a dingy room with two other students.
But for the most part Wang lives in the virtual world beyond the screen of his smartphone. In that world he has an anonymous Twitter-like account called The Gasping Dragon, where he can be whoever he wants to be. Where life is more fun. Where anything goes. Until as a joke he posts an image, and the image goes viral.
That's when the trouble starts.
Chuck Drayton's not-so-stellar diplomatic career should have come to an end after he was withdrawn in disgrace from a posting in Berlin after a very public affair with the wife of a top government minister.
But he's reinvented himself as a computer security expert, and he's been posted to Shanghai as the US Consulate's freshly minted Cyber Guy - because everybody's getting hacked and nobody else seems to get that stuff.
Now he's on the trail of cyber spies, following a digital forensic trail that leads to the door of a secretive unit of the People's Liberation Army.
China has been good for Anthony Morgan. He's grown rich on the back of the China Miracle.
He's Mr China, the go-to man on doing business in the Middle Kingdom and he and his wife are the best corporate investigators in a country where the rules of business are about as clear as the smog that frequently shrouds his luxury Shanghai apartment.
Now the China Miracle is starting to crumble, and although he continues to sell it to gullible investors, he's losing his faith. He posts his true and darkest thoughts to a Twitter account called @Beijing_smog.

This product consists of five Spanish songs with five animation that were 100% created and develeped by a Malaysian. The five songs were written and music arranged based on the topics learnt by the students at the first level. The purpose of the product created was not intended to be at the same level as the songs created by the native Spanish speaker. But the product will give the opportunity for the students the choice for making references since the materials for teaching were imported from abroad so therefore the cost will be more expensive. The songs written and music arranged were related to the title, My family, Adjective, Color, Number and Verbs Conjucation. The choice of choosing the lyrics was based on the teaching and learning of Spanish purposes.
The materials imported from Spain are expensive and will cost more than hundreds of ringgit. This situation can be seen as a barrier for students in having them for references. Therefore, the researcher feels that it is time for local lecturer to teach Spanish and create new materials for the process of teaching and learning. Based on the researcher’s experience in teaching Spanish for nearly 15 years, it is wise to create the product for the purpose of teaching students learning Spanish. This is because learning through audio visual can help students in increasing their listening, speaking and writing skills in Spanish. Spanish course offered in Malaysia can be seen in UM, UKM, UPNM, UPSI, USM, UUM, UTHM, UMP UMT, Multimedia University and so on. Therefore, the researcher feels that the product is created and developed for the students or community who wants to learn Spanish.
The product is able to compete with the products from abroad based on the costs since this product offers reasonable price and is also the first product created by a Malaysian in Malaysia. Therefore, it is proud for the researcher to show the evidence that a local can also produce that will be recognized at international level.
The technology benefits the community because the researcher’s contribution in developing the product can be seen as one big contribution towards the country. We do not need to import materials for teaching that are expensive especially during the downfall of the economy.
This technology was given the copyright protection from Universiti Putra Malaysia and targeted consumers such as school and university students or community who are interested in learning Spanish.
Dr. Salina Husain is a senior lecturer at the Department of Foreign Language, Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication UPM. She teaches the Spanish language for almost 15 years in a few universities including UPM. Her expertise is in the Spanish and Comparative study that is, one of the linguistics studies. She is also the first Spanish lecturer graduated in Malaysia.

These Upaco patented films have been developed to bond to various sole and midsole materials for permanently attaching sole. Depending on the different substrates that need to be bonded, the films may be used in-mould or post-mould.
Frasson s.p.a. and Rubbermac have been the first European users of this revolutionary bonding system.
The new Rubbermac multiple compound concept is inspired by the structure of competition tyres: each rubber compound is dedicated to the specific need of the customer.
In the same way, the rubber outsole is also composed of specific compounds that allow different performance, depending on the area of the outsole.
So why focalising only on the weight of the wedge and upper shoe parts?
Frasson Weave technology is specifically developed to reduce the weight of the final shoe.
Changes the rules of soles design.

Choosing an ideal base design is an important step when ordering a hair system. Some people, especially first timers, have no idea what base to choose. Many want the most natural looking and the most durable base. However, the most natural looking is usually not the most durable and the most durable is not the most natural looking. Wearers need to find a balance between the natural look and durability.
Generally, if you prefer an undetectable appearance over durability, lace or super/ultral thin skin bases are the way to go. These very natural looking bases can last from 1 to 4 months, varying on options you choose and how you treat the system.
If you would like the base to be more durable, you should consider mono bases or thicker skin bases, like fine welded mono, fine mono with poly perimeter, etc. A durable base doesn’t mean it’s not natural looking, but it’s just not as natural as lace and ultra thin skin bases. After styling, durable mono or thick skin bases are also not easily noticed.
Of course, you can choose a base combined with lace, skin or mono to make it relatively natural looking and durable.
There are some more factors to consider, such as climate and lifestyle. For example, if you live in a humid climate all year round, a lace base is ideal for you; if you often do sports, you should consider a breathable lace base. If you are a swimmer then a thin skin base is good choice for you.

Seasonal farmers’ markets offer the ability for farm direct purchasing. These markets have been on the rise in Oregon and within the last ten years their number has more than doubled in the state, serving an estimated 90,000 visitors per week and illustrating an increase in both production for local communities and local consumption1. Farmers’ markets are located in 64 communities in Oregon providing income to over 1000 small farms2, 3. Within the Willamette Valley, there are an estimated 57 farmers’ markets2. Produce, eggs, meat, dairy, honey, rice, flowers, nursery plants and plant starts, wines, prepared foods, and arts and crafts are some of the products available at farmers’ markets1.
Many farmers markets now accept Oregon Trail cards and are a part of the Women, Infant and Children and Seniors and People with Disabilities farm direct program4. Benefits for farmers at these markets include liability insurance, network opportunities, and state wide advocacy and publicity2. The Oregon Farmers’ Market Association provides a list of markets, locations, and how to become a part of the organization.

USC announced Thursday it would appeal NCAA sanctions it considers "excessive." And even before those plans became official, Trojans football coaches were calling recruits and getting out the message that the penalties could be reduced.
"They're trying to appeal it and at least cut it in half," said incoming freshman Giovanni Di Poalo, an offensive lineman from Ventura St. Bonaventure High who said he spoke to Trojans line coach James Cregg.
However, if recent history is any indication, Trojans players and fans shouldn't get their hopes up.
Since a key change to an NCAA bylaw was made in January 2008, only one in 11 appeals has been successful.
The change: An appeal will be granted only if the offended party shows "the penalty is excessive such that it constitutes an abuse of discretion" by the NCAA Committee on Infractions.
Before, an appeal could be won if, upon review, it was determined that a penalty was inappropriate based on the evidence and circumstances.
"It's a tougher standard to meet," said Mike Glazier, the head of Collegiate Sports Practice group at the Kansas office of Bond, Schoeneck & King, who for 20 years has been working with universities during the NCAA investigation process. "It was changed for that purpose — to make it harder to be successful on appeal."
USC officials were not commenting specifically about their appeal plans Thursday, but the university released a letter from school President Steven B. Sample addressed to "Members of the Trojan Family," and in it he said he "sharply" disagreed "with many of the conclusions reached by the NCAA Committee on Infractions."
Among those conclusions was that USC knew or should have known that star running back Reggie Bush and members of his family were receiving extra benefits from would-be marketers and prospective sports agents in violation of NCAA rules. As a result, the Trojans' football program was hit hard — too hard, the university feels — with penalties including 14 vacated victories, a two-year ban from participating in bowl games and a loss of 30 scholarships.
"…monitoring and regulating human behavior is complex at best," Sample's letter continued. "…In this environment, we need to make sure that we are doing everything we can…to protect our students, their families — and ultimately the university — from unscrupulous sports agents and others who seek to exploit our elite student-athletes or their families."
USC's stance is that violations with Bush took place — but they had no way of knowing about them. Bush has denied wrongdoing from the time allegations surfaced years ago.
Glazier said such an appeal would be "a pretty big uphill battle." He added: "Just to be successful on appeal because you claim the penalties are too harsh, your chances are not very good."
Michael Buckner, a Florida-based attorney and private investigator who has worked on NCAA cases, agreed that "most of the penalties" would be upheld. However, he said the loss of 10 scholarships a year "might be excessive," noting that the NCAA usually reduces scholarships at the rate of two for every one ineligible player.
Buckner, a USC alumnus, said it appeared to him the infractions committee "did what they should have done and imposed the appropriate penalties" considering USC's status as a repeat offender that was failing to properly monitor its athletes.
Buckner's firm represented Alabama State — the only school to be successful with an appeal since the bylaw was changed.
That change was prompted, experts say, by a string of successful appeals that overturned certain aspects of sanctions against Oklahoma (2008), Ohio State (2007), Georgia (2005), Georgia Tech (2004) and Michigan (2003).
NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said the bylaw change was "part of the normal legislative process to constantly be evaluating what is happening in our structure and what's being addressed and what's being successful."
Alabama State had its penalty of five years probation for widespread academic fraud shortened to three years in 2009 after Buckner's firm asked the appeals committee to consider how federal and state courts had defined "abuse of discretion."
Not based on a correct legal standard or was based on a misapprehension of the underlying legal principles.
Based on a clearly erroneous factual finding.
Failed to consider and weigh material factors.
Based on a clear error of judgment, such that the imposition was arbitrary, capricious or irrational.
Based in significant part on one or more irrelevant or improper factors.
That the NCAA would toughen rules on appeals came as no surprise to its membership.
"It's like anything," said Brian Battle, the compliance director at Florida State, which had an appeal denied in January. "Any time somebody wins something, they'll say, 'Where did we … do something that caused this separate group of people to overturn the decision?"
Times staff writers Mike Hiserman and Eric Sondheimer contributed to this report.

Japan is showcasing its best innovative developments at the EXPO 2017. The country is one of the global leaders in use of alternative energy. A fascinating tour in the Japanese expo pavilion allows the visitors to understand why.
Acquaintance with Japan begins right on the street where staff members welcome the visitors to the pavilion. The staff gives a brief presentation at the entrance. Japanese pavilion spokesperson, Kenichi Kojima speaks in Russian and English fluently. He has begun learning the Kazakh language as well.
- In 2005, my hometown Aichi hosted an exhibition. Then, I was very interested in the expo and I set out to work at a large-scale event in the future. When I was studying at the university, I learned that your country will host an exhibition and its main topic will be the development of green technologies. So I immediately decided to come to Kazakhstan. It is a great honor for me to work here and to take part in such an event which is useful for the future of the planet.
The Japanese pavilion is divided into three sections and every section has its own concept. Japanese philosophical approach to high technologies is reflected here where the visitors are first introduced to the history of alternative energy. Japan’s transition to green energy is not a trend of fashion and a desire to be on the top of rankings, but it is a necessity since there are practically no minerals in the country’s territory. This is why Japan with minimal natural resources has developed its own environmentally friendly way of generating electricity.
- The 1973 oil crisis forced us to introduce a new strategy to change from energy-intensive to high-tech economy in Japan. We decided to replace the mineral resources with intellectual ones. This primarily concerned the transfer of electricity and industrial production from liquid fuel to other carriers. The targets were acceleration of development of nuclear power, increase of coal and liquefied natural gas imports.
In the next section, visitors can see firsthand Japan’s ambitious projects in the field of green technologies. The authors didn’t limit themselves with a film; they also created a mobile application for better visual and tactile effects. The visitors can truly feel themselves in a technological future. The film talks about the country's plans such as launching an aircraft on biofuel. They claim that this will become a reality by 2020. Japanese scientists invented fuel from dried seaweed powder. According to its chemical properties, it is similar to kerosene. The plant which produces green fuel with a capacity of up to 5 barrels a day is built for convenience and located not far from Japan’s two largest airports.
- Our developments are primarily aimed at minimizing the consequences of harmful emissions into the atmosphere. We want to launch planes on biofuels, not because of financial considerations, but because we are worried about the future of our planet. We think that all countries should follow this example. Today, it is necessary to start reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
The third section of the Japanese pavilion is perhaps the most fascinating one. Guests can play interactive games here. Visitors can contribute to the development of green energy and try to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. It is collected in special baskets and then sent to the plant where it generates energy. All the technological solutions in the pavilion are so easily accessible and creative that even children can understand and have an interest in them. The innovative development of the Japanese company, Toshiba is presented here, too. This is a special container where it is possible to store clean energy. As experts say, to get clean energy from alternative sources is only half of the matter since the most difficult in this process is to be able to preserve the energy.
- It is a generator of solar energy which means that the generator has solar panels. It also has battery panels which means that the energy is received from solar batteries where the energy accumulates. There is a system for electrolysis, too.
In addition to the new developments which are going to make a breakthrough in the development of renewable energy, the Japanese pavilion also includes the innovations that have already proven themselves around the world. These are energy-saving LED lamps. In the 1990s, Japanese scientists invented a blue LED which turned out to be cheap in production. For this discovery, the scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. The technology of home energy management system is also presented in the pavilion. In Japan, people equip their houses with solar batteries, mini power stations, high-tech refrigerators and air conditioners with built-in sensors. This kind of an ergonomic lifestyle is reflected everywhere. The state has even adopted a law on the rational use of energy. The Japanese model of energy consumption is primarily created for the population’s convenience. The country is ready to share its technologies as well as to promote joint projects with Kazakhstan. Undoubtedly, the exhibition will give a new impetus to the development of multilateral partnerships in the field of green technologies.

lowercased:
japan is showcasing its best innovative developments at the expo 2017. the country is one of the global leaders in use of alternative energy. a fascinating tour in the japanese expo pavilion allows the visitors to understand why.
acquaintance with japan begins right on the street where staff members welcome the visitors to the pavilion. the staff gives a brief presentation at the entrance. japanese pavilion spokesperson, kenichi kojima speaks in russian and english fluently. he has begun learning the kazakh language as well.
- in 2005, my hometown aichi hosted an exhibition. then, i was very interested in the expo and i set out to work at a large-scale event in the future. when i was studying at the university, i learned that your country will host an exhibition and its main topic will be the development of green technologies. so i immediately decided to come to kazakhstan. it is a great honor for me to work here and to take part in such an event which is useful for the future of the planet.
the japanese pavilion is divided into three sections and every section has its own concept. japanese philosophical approach to high technologies is reflected here where the visitors are first introduced to the history of alternative energy. japan’s transition to green energy is not a trend of fashion and a desire to be on the top of rankings, but it is a necessity since there are practically no minerals in the country’s territory. this is why japan with minimal natural resources has developed its own environmentally friendly way of generating electricity.
- the 1973 oil crisis forced us to introduce a new strategy to change from energy-intensive to high-tech economy in japan. we decided to replace the mineral resources with intellectual ones. this primarily concerned the transfer of electricity and industrial production from liquid fuel to other carriers. the targets were acceleration of development of nuclear power, increase of coal and liquefied natural gas imports.

RadNet stationary air monitors measure gamma radiation emitted from airborne radioactive particles as they collect on the monitor's filter. The monitors transmit these real-time gamma radiation data each hour to EPA’s National Analytical Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL). These data are viewable on the "Gamma Gross Count Rate" tab.
Some RadNet monitors also measure ambient gamma radioactivity levels. These exposure rate measurements indicate the level of gamma radiation in the vicinity of the monitor. Exposure rate data are posted on the “Exposure Rate” tab, if available.
The filters are also collected from each monitor and sent to the NAREL for gross beta air concentration screening and possibly additional analyses. The NAREL analytical results are viewable on the “Air Filter Analyses” tab.
EPA posts monitoring results after checking to ensure they meet quality standards. To view individual data points shown on the graphs below, please use the query tool to search the RadNet database in EPA's Central Data Exchange for the hourly data, view the RadNet CSV File Download webpage, or query Envirofacts for the laboratory air filter analysis results.
There may be gaps in the data due to telecommunication disruption, server unavailability, instrument maintenance/repairs, or other technical issues.
The RadNet near-real-time data displayed on this website are taken from a mirrored server to reduce the wait time for display. Learn more about the mirror refresh schedule.

RadNet stationary air monitors measure gamma radiation emitted from airborne radioactive particles as they collect on the monitor's filter. EPA uses RadNet monitors to track fluctuations in gamma gammaGamma rays come from many different radioactive elements, both natural and man-made. Gamma rays can penetrate several feet of concrete or a few inches of lead. Gamma rays can pose a serious health threat inside and outside the body and can be lethal depending on the amount received. Scientists use the properties of gamma rays to identify radioactive elements. radiation emitted from airborne radioactive particles at each of our sites. Tracking these changes over time gives a picture of the background (normal) levels and allows EPA scientists to detect any unusual changes.
You can see a more detailed view of gamma detection across nine different channel ranges in our Gamma Gross Count Rate (by Channel Range) Graph.
The Gamma Gross Count Rate represents how many gamma rays the monitor detects each minute.
To view the individual data points shown on this graph, please use the query tool to search the RadNet database in EPA's Central Data Exchange.
In an effort to make RadNet radiation data more understandable to the public and easier to compare with international data, EPA is adding exposure rate measurements to our other system capabilities. Exposure rate measurements indicate the level of radiation present per hour in the vicinity of the monitor.
San Diego, CA began reporting exposure rate data on September 22, 2016.
The left axis of the graph shows gamma exposure rate in US units of milliRoentgen per hour (mR/h). The right axis shows equivalent dose rate in the international units of nanoSieverts per hour (nSv/h), which is provided for easy comparison with international monitoring stations.
To learn about typical dose rates, view About Exposure and Dose Rates.
Air filters undergo three separate analytical processes, as illustrated below. Results from the initial near-real-time measurements of gamma radiation emitted from particulates (Step 1) are posted on the “Gamma Gross Count Rate” tab. Air Filter Analysis results (Steps 2 and 3) are reported below in the conventional unit of curies (Ci) per cubic meter of air. Learn more about curies and the international SI unit of becquerel (Bq).
Monitor operators change RadNet air monitor filters and send them to NAREL for analysis. A gross beta air concentration screening is performed at the laboratory on each filter, followed by gamma spectrometry if the beta activity is greater than the screening level of 1 pCi/m3. Following a known release, this screening level may be reduced and additional analyses may be performed. The graph below shows all beta air concentration filter results for this monitoring location.
Gamma spectrometry results are viewable in the Radionuclide-specific Filter Analysis Results table below.
Columns are sortable. See results key below.
All air filters collected from a location for each calendar year are composited into one sample representing that location. The composite sample for each location is then analyzed by gamma spectrometry and on a four-year rotational basis for plutonium (Pu-238 and Pu-239/Pu-240) and uranium (U-234, U-235 and U-238). Annual composite sample analysis results are in the table below.
Columns are sortable. See event key below.
The radionuclide was not detected with 97.5% confidence. Either no result was measured or a result was less than twice the uncertainty level.
The sample was not tested for this radionuclide.
These air filters are not associated with any large scale radiological incident. Examples include analyses initiated in response to exceeding screening levels or analyses conducted in response to very low level detections by other international air monitoring agencies. Learn more about RadNet Air Filter Inquiries.
At the end of each year, scientists combine all the air filters for each monitor and run gamma analyses. Alpha analyses are performed on the composites from one-fourth of the stations on a four-year rotating schedule.
Air filter analysis results from July through December 1980 can be viewed in Environmental Radiation Data Report (ERD) 23 and 24. View ERD Reports.

Elsevier announced that five million articles are now available on its premier electronic platform, ScienceDirect®. This milestone in electronic scientific, technical and medical (STM) publishing means that researchers around the globe will be able to quickly and efficiently access an unsurpassed critical mass of information at the convenience of their desktop.
Elsevier's extensive and unique full text collection covers over 1800 journals from the core scientific literature including titles such as THE LANCET, Cell and Tetrahedron. With ScienceDirect the research process is enhanced with state-of-the-art searching and linking functionality all on a single, intuitive interface.
The ScienceDirect full-text collection has grown dramatically over the course of the last year. "Less than a year ago there were 3 million articles in the collection," say Arie Jongejan, CEO Science & Technology. "We increased our investments significantly over the last year in bringing more peer reviewed research to our users, which means that they will have unparalleled access to the world's STM literature."
The rapid growth of the ScienceDirect collection is due, in part, to the ongoing addition of the backfiles - heritage collections in a number of disciplines. In 2001 Elsevier embarked on an ambitious project to digitize all of its journals back to volume one, issue one. These historical collections represent part of Elsevier's commitment to ensure that the scientific research community will have functional access to the electronic versions of journal articles.
"We live in an age where research crosses disciplines and borders," says Eefke Smit, Managing Director of ScienceDirect and Bibliographic Databases. "With a collection of full-text articles that is so broad, and so deep, researchers now have the most comprehensive full text collection of peer reviewed articles anywhere in the world, covering an estimated 25% of the world literature on one platform."
The five millionth article loaded onto ScienceDirect is entitled "Amide rotamers of N-acetyl-1,3-dimethyltetrahydroisoquinolines: synthesis, variable temperature NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling" by Charles B. de Koning, Willem A. L. van Otterlo and Joseph P. Michael of the Molecular Sciences Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. The article appears in Elsevier's leading organic chemistry journal Tetrahedron, Volume 59, Issue 42, Pages 8337-8345.
In addition to an extensive full-text journal collection, ScienceDirect has increased its offering of other types of full-text content, such as the recently launched reference works program, which is an expanding program of online reference works in all fields of science that seamlessly interlinks with primary research referenced in journals.

As promised in previous post, this one is up quicker than the outfit one was. I need to catch up a tiny bit if I want to get all the posts I planned up for you all to read. But to be honest, I don't mind a bit of pressure, it just makes me perform better. With every task in general. Is any of you the same way?
Today, I wanted to show you another Halloween inspired nail art. I'll be doing quite a bit of these because they are easy to do and photograph, and they're almost as fun as making up costumes. And speaking of costumes, I'm getting parts for one in particular this week so hopefully I can shoot that in the weekend. Also, I'm getting up on before that once I buy one more thing for it.
These nails were inspired by the bat water decals I got from Shop Keeki (get yours here). I wanted to do them over white background and then planned the rest around that. I chose purple and black as my main colours - mostly because I wanted to try the new shade of purple out - and then tried to pick appropriate designs for the rest of the nails.
My aim was to make simple but fun design that would have some girliness and glitter to it despite being quite Halloween themed. I feel like I actually succeeded in that, and I've been really loving this mani for now. Although today (on the day this post will be up) I really need to change it up so that I'll get content for an upcoming post. I think I actually have an idea in mind already too.
The polish that I really wanted to showcase in this mani was this awesome purple. It's China Glaze Dawn of the New Reign, and it's from this Fall's Street Regal collection. I really love this shade because it's dark, but it's not the generic plum shade that usually comes up in every other Fall collection I feel. It's more blue-toned and brighter, which in my mind fits perfectly for a fun Halloween mani.
For the design, I simply used some clear rhinestones - fun addition to basically any mani, a little silver holo striping tape for the crosses and of course some glitter polish on the index finger. This was the kind of mani where less really felt more and I'm so happy I kept this simple. It also means that anyone of you can recreate this at home because it really doesn't require that much.
The polishes I used for this look were all by China Glaze. The shades used are called Dawn of the New Reign, Liquid Leather, White Out and the glitter polish is Moonlight The Night. I must say that the glitter polish is pretty magical. It's purple and blue and all that in a bottle and over light shades, but once you put it over dark polish, it turns the glitter orange and teal. That kind of witchcraft is so appropriate for Halloween time.
What do you think about these nails? Let me know in the comments below!
Next time, I hope I'll have a costume to show you, and I try to get it up in a couple of days. Depending on how soon I can track down an accessory that really makes the look. So stay tuned for that and follow me in Instagram for more makeup looks and outfits. I will try to get back to outfit posts this Fall/Winter, once I get through Halloween and convince my boyfriend to take my pictures. I'll see you all in my next post!
Perfect nail art for your long nails!

Reading the Brenda Novak books in order is part of reading her several romantic suspense series, including the Stillwater Trilogy, the Last Stand series, the Bulletproof trilogy and the Evelyn Talbot Chronicles, among others.
Brenda Novak is one of my favorite American authors of romantic suspense novels. She is also popular for her historical and contemporary romances with many readers.
Here are the Brenda Novak books in order for her romantic suspense series and her romantic suspense standalone novels. As the other types of romances are not within the scope of Mystery Sequels, they are not listed here.
Brenda Novak was born in 1964 in Vernal, Utah, and at the age of 10, she moved with her family to Arizona. When Brenda was 8 years old, her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, despite her severe illness, she was active in the community as a member of the Chandler City Council for several years after.
At the age of 20, Brenda Novak left her studies at Brigham Young University so that she could get married and start a family. She found a job in commercial real estate and later on became a loan officer.
The way Brenda Novak became a novelist is one of those famous stories that is being told by people every chance they get.
One day when she went home from work, she found her children’s babysitter drugging her youngest son with cough syrup and Tylenol so he will go to sleep. The shock of seeing this prompted Brenda to leave her day job as a loan officer and stay home to take care of her family.
While reading a romance novel at home, she had the idea of writing books as well. However, it took her five years to learn the craft and art of writing. It was a challenging time for her family since they not only lost their family business but also their home; however, once she finally wrote and sold her first romance novel, Of Noble Birth, in 1999, her luck finally took a turn for the better. Brenda Novak knew she could make it in the competitive world of book authors.
Brenda Novak is currently living with her family (husband and five children) in Sacramento, where she writes her next novel and helps the cause of diabetes research by raising money for Juvenile Diabetes Research. Her youngest son, Tad, has diabetes, so Brenda is hoping to help him and the entire cause by donating and raising money to the Foundation.
Several of her books either won or entered contests like the National Reader’s Choice, the Award of Excellence, the Bookseller’s Best, the Beacon Award for Published Authors, and the Write Touch.
The Brenda Novak book list for her romantic suspense series that are still ongoing today includes the Evelyn Talbot Chronicles and Fairham Island. The Silver Springs series, while it’s not romantic suspense, is included here because it is a new series that was started in 2017.
The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles feature Evelyn, a criminal psychologist who set shop in a small Alaskan town. She started the Hanover House, a facility that houses hardened and extremely dangerous criminals, psychopaths who should be locked forever away. Evelyn wants to learn their secret, to find out how their mind is working. After all, as a 16-year-old girl she was also attacked by her boyfriend and left for dead, so she knows all about serial killers and sociopaths.
Soon after she began Hanover House, she meets Sergeant Amarok who is highly displeased with her being there. Not exactly her, but all the convicts being so close to his town. Over time, the two get close and start a relationship.
Fairham Island is another newer Brenda Novak series, one which features Maisey Lazarow who, after many years, reluctantly returns to her home island, Fairham, after a heavy divorce. Once there, she meets her high school fling, Rafe Romero, who still makes her heart beat even after all these years. But Romero is nowhere near the guy she knew back in the day.
In the second book of the series, Maisey’s brother, Keith, receives a phone call that his mother, Josephine Lazarow, died and he has to come home. to bring the estate to order and also find out how the mother died and what are the secrets she left behind. Keith’s love interest was Nancy Dellinger, and she is still there waiting for him.
This second series is just as good as the previous one, however, Fairham Island has some gothic undertone which I really enjoyed (I always loved gothic stories). Brenda got her idea for the first book, The Secret Sister while watching an episode of Dateline, where a brother and sister got together after several years to indulge in recollecting their early years together when they remembered playing with another child who might or might not have been a sibling.
The more they investigated, the more shocking their discovery was. So, Brenda Novak had her imagination going full time and eventually plotted out the storyline for the book.
Reading the books by Brenda Novak in order for her series is recommended. They each feature some main characters that are connected throughout the book, which you might miss out on if you read them out of order.

Historically, seed companies were generally small, often family-run businesses. Because they were regionally-based, they could focus on varieties well-suited to the local environment. But the absorption of these small, independent seed businesses into large multinationals - combined with the advancement of biotechnology resulting in hybrids and GMO seeds - has led to a serious loss of genetic diversity. The public is now at the mercy of the corporations who control the seeds.
Whoever controls the seeds controls the food supply. By empowering communities to preserve and protect the genetic diversity of their harvest, Seed Libraries is the first step toward reclaiming our self-reliance while enhancing food security and ensuring that the future of food is healthy, vibrant, tasty and nutritious.
