About Humans, Practicing by Megan Carney
Three years ago, Navy had decided not to die quietly like she was supposed to. For a few short months, she had been famous or infamous, depending on who you asked. And now, half a world away, a man had decided to use Navy as his ticket out.
Navy didn’t know if Min Gyu deserved to be saved. She didn’t know if Min Gyu could dismantle North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. All Navy knew was right now she felt like she was drowning. If Jackson died, it would be her fault. Just like Sara and Moss almost dying had been her fault.

Author Bio:
I’ve been writing since I jotted down a story about a talking hamburger on the pages of my father’s day planner when I was six. During college, I was published as an academic and as a short story writer.
Now I write technothrillers. But I’d like to think they’re not just thrillers. They’re a touch literary, because that’s how I started. A little feminist, because I apologize less these days. Very technical, because details are important.
I genuinely believe well-written stories are a tool for self-reflection and improvement. We never see ourselves clearly, but sometimes we get a glimpse of ourselves in a character. Stories let us process our emotions, wrestle with hard decisions, and explore the consequences of our actions.
The stories we tell ourselves matter because that is how we make and remake ourselves. Telling (and reading) meaningful stories is how we get a better understanding of experiences we haven’t lived.
And that matters a lot.
