Getting involved with each other may require some actual conversation… Caleb Winthrop was conversation-challenged. Especially when it came to the opposite sex. I didn’t believe it at first when the guys told me Sophie was checking me out. A beautiful girl like her interested in the Mohawk-wearing lead guitarist for a rock band? It seemed far-fetched. But my band members kept pushing me toward her, so I gave in and made an attempt at talking to her, if only to shut them up. Sophie Lockhart has had her heart broken before. That’s why my attraction to Caleb was so insane. When one thought about honesty and faithfulness, Caleb Winthrop’s name is not what came to mind.

And that was not the type of guy I could trust with my heart. Even if it was, I’d never be able to work up the nerve to talk to him. Can these two introverts find their way to each other? Or will each crawl back into the comfort of their protective shell on Last Chance Beach?

YouTube sensation Stuart Ashen is back with his second instalment of terrible old computer games you’ve probably never heard of... because what the world needs right now is to know exactly how bad Domain of the Undead for the Atari 8-bit computers was.

These are NOT the games you’ve heard of a million times in YouTube videos. This is a compilation of truly obscure and dreadful games. Dripping with wry humour and featuring the best, worst graphics from the games themselves, this book encapsulates the atrocities produced in the days of tight budgets and low quality controls.
