Book excerpt: A powerful investigation into a grisly political murder and the authoritarian regime behind it: Do Not Disturb upends the narrative that Rwanda sold the world after one of the deadliest genocides of the twentieth century. We think we know the story of Africa’s Great Lakes region. Following the Rwandan genocide, an idealistic group of young rebels overthrew the brutal regime in Kigali, ushering in an era of peace and stability that made Rwanda the donor darling of the West, winning comparisons with Switzerland and Singapore. But the truth was considerably more sinister. Vividly sourcing her story with direct testimony from key participants, Wrong uses the story of the murder of Patrick Karegeya, once Rwanda’s head of external intelligence and a quicksilver operator of supple charm, to paint the portrait of a modern African dictatorship created in the chilling likeness of Paul Kagame, the president who sanctioned his former friend’s assassination.

Book excerpt: Have you ever looked at your email, then texts, then Facebook, then Twitter, then email, then Instagram, then Candy Crush, then texts, then Snapchat, then texts again, and now you’ve wasted the time you had set aside for more important things? Jedediah Bila has solved her own Obsessive Compulsive Tech Disorder, and she did it without throwing away her devices. It's time to switch on airplane mode and settle into Jedediah Bila’s #DoNotDisturb: How I Ghosted My Cell Phone to Take Back My Life. In this timely, entertaining and inspiring book, Jedediah Bila chronicles her chaotic, confusing, and all-consuming love-hate relationship with - her cell phone. Stepping back from the whirlwind of texting, social media, and an endless sea of apps, Bila questions how our relationships, character, and sanity have suffered from our deep dive into the digital abyss. Exploring the toll that tech addiction took on her life, Bila reveals her missteps and mistakes, including several upending, life-altering months swirling in an ex-boyfriend’s cell-phone-enabled double life, and how a low-tech millennial later stole her heart. Travel with Jedediah through the embarrassing and catastrophic consequences of Ménage-a-Tech relationships, social media's Perception Deception, and the One-Potato-Chip-Problem of trying to resist Silicon Valley's hypnotic, slot-machine software designed to lure you in. Bila reveals how she navigated away from an unhealthy, oversaturated diet of tech junk food to striking just the right balance with technology to let her unplugged, real-life moments take charge. In #DoNotDisturb, Bila applies her trademark no-nonsense, common-sense, personal responsibility and accountability-centered approach, warning us that if we don’t stop acting like robots, our very humanity is at stake. Through warm anecdotes and cold, hard truths, Bila reveals how she pulled her way out of the tech fog to keep her eyes focused on the life right in front of her. And how you can too.

Book excerpt: The next psychological thriller from the bestselling author of The Good Neighbors... Yes. The word that brought me such great joy and, eventually, such heartbreak. When Mark asked me out for the first time, I didn't have to think twice. I said, "Yes." When he asked me to marry him just a year later, the answer came as easily as the breath that followed it. "Yes." When he asked me to keep his secret, my response came too quickly. "Yes." Now, in front of a judge and jury, I'll be asked the question I never anticipated. "Did you know who the killer is?" The answer is second nature by now. "Yes." "Modglin's most complex, layered, emotional, dark, and shocking book yet." -Emerald O'Brien, Author of The Knox and Sheppard Mysteries

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A funny, disturbing, and deeply affecting novel of power, corruption, and innocence in colonial Africa, by the author of Terms & Conditions. As the African nation of Bwalo prepares for The Big Day--the only day in the year the ailing King talks to his subjects--we meet five very different people: Charlie, a curious boy with a dangerous dictaphone habit, eavesdrops on the eccentric guests of the Mirage Hotel. Sean, an Irishman who's given his heart (and the best part of his liver) to Bwalo, struggles to write the great African novel--if only his crazed fiancée and fierce thirst would stop distracting him. Josef, the mythmaker and kingmaker who paved the way for Tafumo's rise to power, starts to hear the ominous rattle of skeletons in his closet. Hope, the nurse caring for the King, keeps the old man alive, maintaining the façade of the powerful ruler as she mourns her own broken dreams. And in the countdown to the Big Day, storm clouds gather as a petty criminal, Jack, smuggles something into Bwalo--specifically to the Mirage Hotel--that will change the lives of all of them forever.

Book excerpt: "Here are six hilarious one-act sex comedies that all take place in the same hotel suite. In The Pick Up (2m, 1f), a wild bachelor gets more than he bargained for when he picks upa beautiful woman who can't wait to get him alone. Superstar (1m, 1f monologue) involves a movie star's latest conquest who finds he can't quite live up to the man she dreamed he'd be. In The Blue Movie (3m, 1f), a schnook bellhop is blackmailed into starring in a Viking porno film with two amateur actors and a priest. The gas-filled Wedding (3m, 3f)features an hysterical groom who goes to extremes to hide his wife's sister who is attached at the zipper. In The Rendezvous (1m, 2f), a cheating husband is startled to have his weekly tryst with his mistress rudely interrupted by his electric drill-toting wife. The final scene, Suicide Ballet (3m, 3 f) has the room occupied by a pathetic loser who can't manage killing himself, but has no trouble wiping out half the population of the hotel. This explosive finale brought down the house when Do Not Disturb premiered at New Jersey's Henderson Theatre starring the authors. Note: Acts may be performed individually"--Page 4 of cover
