Africa: Reframing Political Leadership: Discover new insights and the importance of leading from life through interviews with Africa’s Heads of State by Deanne De Vries

The “Presidency” has developed into the most powerful institution in the world. These individuals can start and end wars, grow or destroy economies, leave their countries in a better or worse place. The impact of political leadership is felt more acutely in countries that are still developing. This is particularly true across Africa where political leaders are a strong determinant of a country’s sustainable growth trajectory, or lack thereof.

This book offers a rare opportunity to pull back the curtains on political leadership in Africa and hear first hand the real-life political leadership experiences of individuals who were Heads of States in Africa.

About Queensborough Rock

A ROCK AND ROLL NOVEL LIKE NO OTHER

It’s 1971 and young Jack Bernstein is a struggling rock ’n’ roll manager in New York City. Instead of a fancy office in Manhattan, a flashy car and backstage passes, he operates out of a basement apartment in working-class Queens, driving a cranky eight-year-old Volvo as he trolls third-string venues for hidden talent. He suffers enormous betrayal when Manhattan agents or “sharks” steal his best artists. Jack finances a demo tape for his top talent by borrowing from a loanshark and pawning a friend’s guitar. When the tape fails to land a deal, Jack’s last hope is an offer from a friendly Queens mobster: manage his obnoxious nephew as best he can and doors will open. New York City in the late sixties and early seventies comes alive with all its intensity.

When he isn’t writing, Stephen enjoys travel, gardening, yoga, guitar, and following politics and current events with a passion. He’s a voracious reader of fiction and nonfiction in too many genres and subjects to list. He has a special love for apocalyptic and dystopian science fiction, hard-boiled detective fiction, literary work by an endless list of authors he loves respect and admires, but at the top of his reading list at the moment are Paul Auster, Ward Just, Cynthia Ozick, Louis Auchincloss, Joan Didion, Philip Roth, Walter Mosley, Philip K. Dick, Jennifer Egan.

About Dogs Don’t Lie

An animal communicator, a dead body, and furry witnesses with a story to tell…

I’m Dr. Kallie Collins, a veterinarian who can communicate with animals. No, it’s not as crazy as it sounds. Yes, it has landed me smack dab in the middle of a murder investigation.

It all starts with a bone.

A dog digs up the bone. A detective wants the bone. The dog wants to keep the bone. That’s where I come in. Instead of tranquilizing the dog as the skeptical detective suggests, I use an animal-communication technique, and voila! Tail wagging, the dog drops the bone, then leads me to the location of a complete human skeleton. Sheesh!

Now, I’m up to my ears in four-legged witnesses and trying to figure out who the killer is before it’s too late and another person disappears.

I’m just hoping it won’t be me.

Yes. Lisa Shay is my pen name.

But it's still me. R E Sheahan. Since I write YA Science Fiction/Fantasy, it seemed a good choice to go with a pen name for the cozy mysteries.

I read. A lot. Pretty much any genre.

I love animals. A bonus since the cozy mysteries are about a veterinarian who can communicate with animals.

I'm crazy over anything Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, LOTR, Dr. Who, and, well all of them.

Yes. I'm a geek.
