Publisher's summary
Growing up in Miami, Coco Baxter was a sweet little girl with a life of luxury and two loving parents. That should have been enough. But family secrets, betrayals, and disappointments have left her hardened and on a path of self-destruction. At sixteen, Coco is angry and looking for new ways to get under her parents' skin. But will the shoplifting, older boys, and her out-of-control behavior teach her parents a lesson, or will Coco be the one to get schooled?
Coco's Story is a companion novella to the Christmas Key series. It offers the reader a chance to see what Coco's life was like before the island, and how her choices and relationships made her the woman that Holly and the other islanders love to hate. It can be read at any point in the series!
A romantic comedy series set in the Florida Keys for fans of Hope Holloway, Wendy Wax, Jan Moran, and Deborah Brown!

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.
