As the prevalence of AI continues to grow, more and more people are worried about their online safety. New scams seem to be popping up every day, packaged in creative and terrifying ways. Rather than resign yourself to an inevitable fate or remove yourself from the online world entirely, learn the tricks of the trade to avoid being just another pwned noob.

From celebrity actors to professional athletes and even social media CEOs, anyone can be a hacker's target. What matters most is catching someone unprotected and unawares and pwning them—hacker slang for completely and humiliatingly beating someone. Leaving them with the kind of digital defeat that has them scrambling to recover stolen data, reputation, or worse. But that doesn’t have to be you.

CTRL+ALT+PWN: THE HACKER'S PLAYBOOK (AND HOW TO BEAT IT) exposes the secret weapons, sneaky tactics, and psychological tricks used by hackers today—and shows you how to stop them. Whether it’s setting traps with a Wi-Fi Pineapple or using malicious QR codes to send victims to phishing sites, modern hacking isn’t just about code—it’s about manipulating people. And it’s getting more dangerous with the rise of AI, deepfakes, and advanced social engineering.

From headline-making ransomware attacks to celebrity data leaks and scams that start with a single swipe on a dating app, CTRL+ALT+PWN walks you through real-world cases and gives you the tools to stay one step ahead. Because no one is off-limits. But with the right knowledge, you don’t have to be the next victim.

For fans of Tessa Bailey comes a steamy debut sports romance following an Olympic downhill skier and the sexy risk-taking ski mountaineer she hires to train her for a new event. But when their chemistry threatens to disrupt her carefully planned life, will she stick with her schedule or let her life veer off course in the name of love?

Kit Schuster has been bombing downhill on skis since she was two-and-a-half, and becoming the most decorated woman on the slopes has made the decade of competing across multiple continents and grueling race schedules worth it. She doesn’t look anywhere but straight ahead of her—on the racecourse and in life. But a younger rival now has her looking over her shoulder. To solidify her place in history, Kit decides to enter in the newest Olympic event of ski mountaineering, giving her eighteen months to prepare for the 2026 Winter Games in Cortina, Italy.

Asher McClendon grew up dangling from rock faces in Yosemite, and he stuns his followers with daring climbs up the world's most remote peaks before skiing down their steep ridges. He lives for the high-stakes thrills that come with ski mountaineering. When he agrees to coach a legendary alpine skier at his home outside Lake Tahoe, he's more intrigued by the paycheck than the woman. That is, until she arrives to stay in his guest cabin.

Far away from the perfectly groomed ski slopes of European resorts, Kit’s routine and laser focus get a major detour—by Asher's training regimen and their growing attraction to each other. Before she realizes it, everything in Kit’s life is veering off course. Faced with an insurmountable hurdle and no ski lift in sight, they must both determine what they’re willing to risk for love—even if it’s their careers.

Congratulations to Turner author Michelle Bennington for being named a Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Finalist for her mystery KILLER CACHE!

Follow the antics of hoarding Henny Wiley in this cozy, quirky Southern mystery, out now. https://turnerpublishing.com/products/killer-cache

Hoarding Henny Wiley returns in the highly anticipated sequel to DUMPSTER DYING!

Henny Wiley isn’t just a collector, she’s a hoarder. And her collection, er, hoard, keeps growing—and attracting all the wrong attention. Her nosy neighbor, her family, the sheriff, and Adult Services are all putting on the pressure for her to clean up her property—but she ain’t cleaning without a fight!

However, her dumpster cache is the least of her concerns when her no-good rotten-to-the-core brother, Cash Cooper, shows up on her crowded doorstep. Wherever Cash appears, trouble is sure to follow. Within days of his arrival, Henny's friend dies, jewels go missing, a gun store is robbed, and Henny’s own collection is threatened. Most people in the small town of Plumridge, Kentucky, are certain Cash is to blame, but Henny isn't convinced. Cash may have always had sticky fingers, but there's no way he’s a murderer! Worse, the sheriff begins to think Henny may be assisting her brother's criminal activities. With the help of her husband, Walter—rather, his ghost—and her sister, Ida Mae, Henny aims to clear her and her brother’s names. That is, if she isn’t killed first!

What happens when background characters break free from the script and fight to become the heroes of their own stories?

J.J. Kochmanski's debut novel, THE SIDE QUESTERS, flips the classic fantasy adventure on its head, following Anya, a non-playable character (NPC) stuck in a fantasy role-playing game. As the burnt-out barkeep discovers new details of her origin story that push her into the main questline alongside grumpy warrior Cyrus Blackwood, the unlikely pair works to prove to themselves—and their creators—that they can be heroes too.

Publishers Weekly says THE SIDE QUESTERS "will be a pleasure for video game aficionados" and is "brimming with humor, opposites-attract banter, and cozy fantasy elements."

OUT NOW! Get your copy of J. J. Kochmanski's "diverting debut" today on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or wherever you buy books.

For fans of LEGENDS & LATTES and Dungeons & Dragons comes an unconventional hero’s journey told through the perspective of a non-player character in a fantasy role-playing game.

Anya Dazel is a burnt-out barkeep in Eternity: The Endless Realm, the world’s premier online role-playing game. As a non-player character, her life is stuck in a programmed loop—forever serving the same drinks to the same patrons and helping players with an automatic quest event that unfolds when they enter her pub. She longs for any disruption to this monotonous existence, even if that feels like an impossible dream.

But when Eternity receives an update, and Cyrus Blackwood is added to Anya’s pub, her dream unfurls as a nightmare. Cyrus is everything that Anya is not—a mysterious, brooding warrior with a gigantic sword and a tortured past. Everyone in the tavern is fascinated by him, and even worse, when the next player arrives, it’s Cyrus who helps them with their quest, not Anya. Realizing that she’s being replaced, Anya lashes out at Cyrus, inadvertently knocking them both out of her tavern and into the wider realm of Eternity.

Free from their encoded home, Anya and Cyrus must work together to navigate a dangerous open world, overcoming hordes of monsters, devious puzzles, and maybe even an existential crisis or two. But as they struggle to overcome their distaste for each other and stay alive, they discover that their roles within Eternity might not be as programmed as they thought, and Anya will need to prove that even barkeeps can be heroes.

Meet Ivy Bennett. After fleeing California and a bad relationship, Ivy moves to the small town of Canyon Creek with nothing to her name but an ancient car off of Craigslist and a teaching position at the local middle school. She quickly learns to love two things: The two best friends she’s made—her eighty-year-old landlord and a more age-appropriate coworker—and the charming little town nestled in the pines. The thing she hasn’t learned to love? Her job. As if fate intervenes, Ivy gets laid off, and a job nannying for her best friend’s brother falls right in her lap.

Enter Wes Cooper. He’s grumpy, tattooed, hot as hell, and has Ivy so nervous that she can’t help but make an ass of herself. Their relationship starts...rocky, but Ivy soon realizes it’s all a mask to protect his and his daughter's hearts. In the rare moments when he lets his guard down, Ivy can’t help but fall, especially seeing the way he melts for his daughter and makes sure Ivy’s taken care of too. He seems like the perfect man, but will he let his walls down enough to let Ivy in for good? Or is she doomed to be the only one that falls headfirst?

P.S. Book 2 (of 4) of the Canyon Creek series, COMING HOME, publishes Jan. 19, 2027!

In this highly-anticipated sequel to SWIMMING WITH GHOSTS, the discovery of a desperately-hidden secret brings a family to the brink of collapse—the exact place where they may ultimately find true healing and forgiveness.

One day before a freak accident lands devoted wife and mother Kristy Weinstein in a coma, her husband, David, discovers a devastating secret she’d been keeping for months. While Kristy’s life hangs in the balance, broken-hearted David, a high-risk OB with a God complex, must grapple with his pride and demons in order to make impossible decisions about his career, wife, and the new baby that has served as a joyful family distraction from the roiling tensions of Kristy’s betrayal. Their college-aged daughter Mia, nicknamed “Scoop,” clashes with her family as she tries to solve the mystery of the events leading up to her mother’s coma, and Patrick, Kristy’s half-brother, fights to hold on to his sobriety and his beloved fiancée while he nearly crumbles under the fear of losing his sister and the responsibility of showing up for Kristy’s family.

With Kristy increasingly unavailable to them, each family member is pushed to find kinship in surprising places and to heal old wounds by drawing near those who have damaged them the most. This is a timely story about the emotional and spiritual work it takes to repair an impossible rupture in a marriage, a relationship, a family, and in turn the larger communities in which we live, hope, and love.
