Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of In Cold Blood and The Executioner’s Song, this haunting, insightful, and surprisingly intimate portrait of Saddam Hussein provides “a brief, but powerful, meditation on the meaning of evil and power” (USA TODAY). The “captivating” (Military Times) The Prisoner in His Palace invites us to take a journey with twelve young American soldiers in the summer of 2006. Shortly after being deployed to Iraq, they learn their assignment: guarding Saddam Hussein in the months before his execution. Living alongside, and caring for, their “high value detainee and regularly transporting him to his raucous trial, many of the men begin questioning some of their most basic assumptions—about the judicial process, Saddam’s character, and the morality of modern war. Although the young soldiers’ increasingly intimate conversations with the once-feared dictator never lead them to doubt his responsibility for unspeakable crimes, the men do discover surprising new layers to his psyche that run counter to the media’s portrayal of him. Woven from firsthand accounts provided by many of the American guards, government officials, interrogators, scholars, spies, lawyers, family members, and victims, The Prisoner in His Palace shows two Saddams coexisting in one person: the defiant tyrant who uses torture and murder as tools, and a shrewd but contemplative prisoner who exhibits surprising affection, dignity, and courage in the face of looming death. In this thought-provoking narrative, Saddam, known as the “man without a conscience,” gets many of those around him to examine theirs. “A singular study exhibiting both military duty and human compassion” (Kirkus Reviews), The Prisoner in His Palace grants us “a behind-the-scenes look at history that’s nearly impossible to put down…a mesmerizing glimpse into the final moments of a brutal tyrant’s life” (BookPage).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every life, there are challenges. If you want to live and overcome your challenges, it's possible. The life of Joseph is the triumph of man above his circumstances. Joseph faced the same challenges that you face. He did not allow his circumstances to make him a victim. Joseph was a dreamer. His dreams painted pictures that his siblings did not want to see and so the dreams caused chaos in his family. They became the breathing ground for all the challenges Joseph faced in his life. Joseph went from favor in his home to disfavor in Egypt. Joseph overcame the challenges in his life through a life changing relationship with God. If you are struggling in your relationships, there is hope. As you look at Joseph’s life, you will discover that you too can relate to the people who were present in Joseph’s life. You will meet the parent who sowed seeds of discord in the lives of his children. The siblings who refused to celebrate when good things happen in your life. Then there are those like Potiphar’s wife whose mission is to cause you to compromise your integrity. He even met with one who forgot his kindness. In the end he forgave his brothers from a pure heart. In spite of all these things, Joseph never gave up. He could not survive his life in Egypt without making changes. Joseph never allowed his pain to prevent him from being honorable. He worked with excellence wherever life took him. As a result, in the worst of circumstances, his integrity and work ethic were always on display. One day Pharaoh needed Joseph's wisdom so he sent for Joseph while he was in prison. Joseph's reward for years of working with excellence was his address changed from prison to palace. You can overcome the challenges in your life and rise to the top.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of the Dominion of the Fallen series comes a dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast. In a ruined, devastated world, where the earth is poisoned and beings of nightmares roam the land... A woman, betrayed, terrified, sold into indenture to pay her village's debts and struggling to survive in a spirit world. A dragon, among the last of her kind, cold and aloof but desperately trying to make a difference. When failed scholar Yên is sold to Vu Côn, one of the last dragons walking the earth, she expects to be tortured or killed for Vu Côn's amusement. But Vu Côn, it turns out, has a use for Yên: she needs a scholar to tutor her two unruly children. She takes Yên back to her home, a vast, vertiginous palace-prison where every door can lead to death. Vu Côn seems stern and unbending, but as the days pass Yên comes to see her kinder and caring side. She finds herself dangerously attracted to the dragon who is her master and jailer. In the end, Yên will have to decide where her own happiness lies—and whether it will survive the revelation of Vu Côn’s dark, unspeakable secrets... Advance praise for In the Vanishers’ Palace “Another stellar offering by Bodard. Her signature intensity is on display in this tale of people (and dragons) struggling to survive in the ruins of an alien conquest. Emotionally complex relationships interweave with richly drawn and deftly nuanced world-building.” —Kate Elliott, author of the Court of Fives series “A transformative experience. With dragons.” —Fran Wilde, Hugo and Nebula nominated author of The Bone Universe and The Gemworld series
