Zoey has no idea what it means to be normal. Everything she touches has a taste, and her father’s identity is a town secret. Her sisters have their own issues. While it's a struggle for Celeste to connect with the world, Ruby, who has a flair for the dramatic, doesn't worry about anything. Orphaned at birth, the fourteen-year-old triplets live with their aunt and mark seasons by the annual migration of captivating birds. Despite an almost idyllic childhood grounded in Aunt Flory's home-cooked food and family values, Zoey struggles with her identity in a community where the Starling family is the subject of gossip. But secrets run deep in the small town, and the triplets aren't the only ones with something to hide. Zoey soon discovers that the truth isn't obvious and different perspectives shape the world. It's always how you choose to look at things that matters most. Bugs, Weeds, and Water is created by Evangeline Greene, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Meet Park Jin-woo: coding genius, ramen aficionado, and champion of the chronically sleep-deprived. His life revolves around debugging nightmares and wrestling with legacy code… until a particularly nasty bug literally zaps him into a world of pointy ears, fire-breathing lizards, and magic that's about as stable as a beta release. Suddenly, "Hello World" takes on a whole new meaning. Turns out, Jin-woo's knack for fixing code translates surprisingly well to wrangling wayward spells, and he's soon Aethelgard's resident "magical troubleshooter." But when a power-hungry sorcerer threatens to rewrite the rules of reality (and not in a good way), Jin-woo must swap ramen stains for rune-etched robes and unleash his inner code wizard. Because saving the world is way more important than a good night's sleep… right?

A note to all developers: when you open your virtual reality MMORPG up to beta testers, make sure to test the logout feature. And if their headsets have a tendency to spontaneously combust when their characters die, maybe call the manufacturing company before slipping one on yourself.
