Book Description
World famous author and former police lieutenant T.M.Drake struggles with an agonizing literary dry spell after his wife's fatal bout with cancer in 1998. Now a widower in July of 2002, he battles with life itself, as well as the business of composition. Not a creative sentence on paper for months. That is, until Friday night, when neighbor Nicole Banks dies in a fiery explosion at her home one block down the street. The result of defective plumbing? Lana Sands, her workmate at a local fitness center, insists that an unknown assailant murdered the lovely young widow - and Miss Sands fears she will be next. In this fortuitous twist of fate, Tom (Drake) and Lana become personally (and romantically) involved as they delve into the cause of Miss Banks' demise. Questions (and bodies) mount and their lives curiously resemble one of Drake's recent best sellers. Who is the second victim discovered in the rubble of that explosion, and why is he there? When Nicky's married suitor dies a few days later, is this another accident - or murder? What about the death of Nicole's analyst not long after the other 'mishaps'? And finally, do these events have anything to do with the fact that Mrs. Banks' husband perished in the World Trade Center Tragedy the previous year? So many questions emerge over such a few days in the placid world of Tom's home town: York, Pennsylvania. The answers change his life forever, in this tale of healing and renewal for Thomas Michael Drake.

Book Description
"They Will Have to Die Now is the story of what happened after most Americans stopped paying attention to Iraq…It will take its place among the very best war writing of the past two decades." —George Packer, author of Our Man and The Assassins’ Gate James Verini arrived in Iraq in the summer of 2016 to write about life in the Islamic State. He stayed to cover the jihadis’ last great stand, the Battle of Mosul, not knowing it would go on for nearly a year, nor that it would become, in the words of the Pentagon, "the most significant urban combat since WWII." They Will Have to Die Now takes the reader into the heart of the conflict against the most lethal insurgency of our time. We see unspeakable violence, improbable humanity, and occasional humor. We meet an Iraqi major fighting his way through the city with a bad leg; a general who taunts snipers; an American sergeant who removes his glass eye to unnerve his troops; a pair of Moslawi brothers who welcomed the Islamic State, believing, as so many Moslawis did, that it might improve their shattered lives. Verini also relates the rich history of Iraq, and of Mosul, one of the most beguiling cities in the Middle East.

Book Description
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! "I had the choice to come back ... or not. I chose to return when I realized that 'heaven' is a state, not a place" In this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how, after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began shutting down—overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from the hospital within weeks—without a trace of cancer in her body! Within this enhanced e-book, Anita recounts—in words and on video—stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all medical knowledge. In "Dying to Be Me," Anita Freely shares all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, "being love," and the true magnificence of each and every human being!

Book Description
"They Must Die" is an undimmed corpus of delirious crime stories based on the international canvas. Its capstone feature is the opaque side of human nature. While facing real-life ataxia, some persons become victims of psychological disorders and anxiety. They attempt to turn the wheel of destiny in their way and put themselves under a spell of psychosis or schizophrenia for revenge or to escape and obviously target the serene environment of society around them. The atrocious criminal stories, needless to say, grab a frizzing hold of human mind quickly. To spike, this snare in ascending direction till the end has been a pink skill of the writers and the story as well. This corpus of delirious criminal stories depicts this flair almost on every page on. The twined state of the psychogenic mind before the crime and the skillful use of these psychodynamics are exhibited in the anthology “They Must Die”. The spooked crime even though has been done with perilous sneakiness, and it is negative or destructive in nature too but an acute care has been taken here in particular by neutralizing the sublimation of these crimes. Of course, through the instantiating description, we strongly believe that readers will be utterly screwed down with the stupefying touchstone of this compilation of stories. This creation is a sapient collection of four delirious crime stories and it depicts a criminal social canker as a threat to the civilized society, so…. they must die.
