Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the young composer-lyricist Douglas Cohen first secured the musical rights to the novel No Way to Treat a Lady by William Goldman—the acclaimed author of The Princess Bride and Marathon Man—he hoped it would be his big break, the first step on a gilt path to artistic triumph and commercial success in the form of a hit Broadway musical. What happened after that, while memorable, was anything but. How to Survive a Killer Musical chronicles Cohen's decade-long quest to bring that musical to the stage—writing, re-writing, and shepherding it across the US and Europe amidst all manner of adversity and plain rotten luck. It's a fascinating portrait of passion, persistence, and resilience—a coming-of-age story populated with famous mentors and formidable adversaries, told with refreshing honesty and humor. On Cohen's journey, we meet an unforgettable, vividly rendered cast of characters, including: an Oscar-winning screenwriter who invites Cohen to his personal screening room for a marathon midnight writing session; a Tony Award-winning director making his comeback after a horrific accident renders him a quadriplegic; and a celebrated, volatile British director who inspires a fruitful collaboration in London, only to later leave carnage in his wake. Catastrophes abound, including the near-fatal stabbing of a female lead in rehearsal and an onstage accident incapacitating another leading lady—leaving only the author to go on in her place! Whether you’re a fan of musicals or just someone who’s trying to bring a passion project into the world, this tale of fortitude in the face of obstacles, personalities, and egos will make for an eye-opening and frequently hilarious journey.

Book excerpt: When the legal system fails innocent victims, Jake and Thomas are there to right the wrongs and restore balance. Their vengeance is swift and without guilt or consequence. For years, they have acted independently, using their own judgment to decide who lives and who dies. Perhaps fate brings them together or perhaps it’s the arrival of a third killer. This new killer seems to murder for no reason at all. He is driven purely by blood with no rhyme or reason, making him both unpredictable and diabolical. In order to stop the growing body count in their city, Jake and Thomas must learn to trust each other. They know they’re the only ones who can stop this murderer, but can they do it without getting caught? These two men aren’t the only ones searching for answers. Susana, an eager journalist, and her detective friend are hot on their trail. For Jake and Thomas, it’s now a race against madness in an effort to save innocent lives from brutal torment. In the end, a decision must be made. How far are these two killers willing to go, and will this final fight put an end to their vigilante justice?

Book excerpt: Realtor-turned-sleuth Darby Farr arrives in the Big Apple and finds big trouble: her boyfriend Miles Porter is a suspect in the brutal stabbing of a Russian businessman. Setting out to prove his innocence, Darby discovers that Central Park Place—the luxury residence where Miles lives—is a hotbed of wealthy tenants with well-guarded secrets. One of them is Natalia Kazakova, a billionaire's daughter and the victim's not-so-distraught fiancée, whose investigative journalism has caught the attention of Russia's shadowy security agency. With the looming threat of Soviet-era spies and a long list of rich and devious suspects, Darby must work fast to stop a killer who knows no bounds.

Book excerpt: A serial killer is ravaging the coeds of a small college town, and killing them is just the beginning of his fantasy. Criminal profiler Mace Franklyn, struggling with the scars from his prior mental illness, is hired to stop this murderer, and is determined to prove his FBI honed skills have not been dulled. However, complications surface quickly, when the head of the Michigan Bureau of Investigation questions his suitability, and Mace discovers he must work with his ex-wife, the person most hurt by actions from his murky past. Overcoming these problems, he identifies likely suspects, but his efforts are undermined by someone within the investigation task force. The identity of the insider is key, and only when Mace puts into jeopardy his own life, and that of the one he most loves, does he discover the disturbing truth behind duplicity’s child.

Book excerpt: Why did I decide to finally write? Spoiler, it's not a midlife crisis. Like most people, mass shootings have always left me speechless. Of course, I don't need to have lived in other countries to know that the approach the USA takes regarding gun-related violence is perplexingly unique. I consider myself a keen observer, so I noticed that during the lockdown of the pandemic in 2020-2021, mass shooting news reports drastically went down (even as violence overall seemed to reach new records). So, I found myself wondering whether the lockdown would help with the gun violence crisis, and save lives from the lethal virus. It was a little bit naive, wasn't it? When the country started reopening to normal activities, between March and April 2021, punctual like a clock, mass shootings were also back to being part of life! That struck me to my core, and I decided to act on the idea of a book I had been keeping in my mind for some time. Even though I was trained as a scientist and engineer, I always felt drawn to literary endeavors but never had the time and the dedication to get the training I knew I would need to come up with a book worth anyone's time. But on this occasion, I was gonna do something about this book idea. Even the ugly divorce I was going through was not going to stop me. That's how I started working on this book, and I think you'll find it worth your time. I hope you enjoy the story. The book is simply a warning against complacency toward mass shootings. Accepting them as a normal part of our life may numb us from the fact that advanced AI technology can potentially be weaponized for seemingly random shootings, that perhaps cover up a crazy agenda, like world domination. Of course, it would take a resourceful evil genius to do that, but how many tech billionaires would or wouldn't fit that profile?

Book excerpt: How many hours do we spend scrolling Facebook newsfeeds, retweeting something on Twitter, or posing for the perfect selfie on Instagram, hoping what we post will get likes and comments from our friends and followers? To get those likes, we post what is—according to social media standards—pretty, popular, and acceptable. We hide the messy parts of life, play up the fun times, and even twist the truth a bit so we look a little better, smarter, and funnier. But what happens when people start holding us up to these unrealistic standards? What happens when you realize that who you are on social media isn’t who you really are? Have we let social media steal our identity? In #Stolen, author Jessica Fralin uncovers our deep desire to be affirmed, valued, and loved and then points to the only place where that desire can be filled: in Christ not social media. She offers creative #FunFact, #GiveItATry, and #WhatDoYouThink callouts containing fun notes, activities, and ideas to discuss with your youth group and friends. As she tackles the issues and insecurities like popularity, body image, and cyberbullying, Jessica shows you how to find your identity in the one voice that really matters, not the million of voices online.
