Everything I Know About the Universe

 

 




















Meditations on Reality and Spirituality from a Doctor, a Patient, a Scientist, and a Reluctant Believer

 

Nonfiction

Date Published: June 29, 2024


 

Written from the perspective of a doctor and scientist, Everything that I Know About the Universe is a selection of essays explaining why we need to rethink some of our basic assumptions about science and theology and how the two fields of thought can coexist. The need to ask where we came from and why we’re here is a fundamental part of being human. This text seeks to take those two questions and reframe them to show how they can be scientifically answered, but spiritually informed, with appeals made to evolutionary biology, quantum mechanics, cosmology, and large number theory. Along the way, the author lays out definitions for the mind, consciousness, and spirituality, and shows that even if we can’t have definitive answers to the big existential questions of life, asking those questions is one of the most important things that we can do. The essays also delve into some of the most important critiques of traditional religious and scientific perspectives on the universe.

Claire can’t remember a time when writing wasn’t part of her life. Growing up, she used to write stories with her friends. As a teenager she started out reading fantasy and science fiction, but her diet quickly changed to romance and happily-ever-after’s. A native of Massachusetts and cold weather, she left all that behind to move to the sun and fun of California, but has always lived no more than twenty miles from the ocean.

In college she studied acting with a minor in creative writing. In hindsight she should have flipped course studies. Before she was published, she sold books on eBay and discovered some of her favorite authors by sampling the goods, which was the perfect solution. Claire has many book-irons in the fire, most notably her urban fantasy series, The Elementals’ Challenge series, but writes contemporary and shifter romances as well as.

While she’s not a movie mogul or actor, she does work in the film industry with her office firmly situated in the 90210 district of Hollywood. Prone to breaking out into song, she is quick on feet and just as quick with snappy dialogue. In addition to writing she does animal rescue, reads, and goes to movies. She loves to hear from fans, so feel free to drop her a line.

A Little Getaway

by Bonnie Traymore

Genre: Spicy Suspense Thriller

  


A little getaway takes a deadly turn for Morgan and Kyle Murphy in this spicy suspense thriller about a marriage filled with passion, secrets, and suspicions.

Morgan Murphy has always longed for a romance for the ages. And she’s found it with husband Kyle Murphy—until their spicy marriage suddenly starts to cool off.

Is Kyle preoccupied and distant because of a problem with his development project? Or is it something worse? Could Kyle Murphy be…cheating? He’s hiding something, that’s for sure. And Morgan’s determined to find out what it is.

With the help of gal pal Carla Flores, Morgan tracks her husband’s movements, and the signs increasingly point to infidelity, the ultimate sin in Morgan’s book. When Kyle increases their life insurance and surprises her with a weekend getaway to get their mojo back, she goes on the offensive and hatches a plan to make him come clean about what’s been going on.

But before she can pull it off, Morgan’s attacked and nearly kidnapped, and Kyle vanishes from the resort without a trace. With no clue as to who took Kyle or why, she’s not sure who is the biggest threat: the shady investor he owes money to, the police, or the guys she hired to teach Kyle a lesson. With the clock ticking, she needs to find out soon.

Before they come for her, too.



For fans of Liv Constantine, Kimberly Belle, Jeneva Rose, Kaira Rouda, Freida McFadden, and Daniel Hurst.
