The African Piper of Harlem
About The African Piper of Harlem
Neither fish nor fowl, every immigrant threads the needle between being one of “us” versus one of “them.” The plot is both a fantasy and an exercise in exploring ways in which recent African immigrants and African-Americans recognize and embrace each other’s cultural differences.
In Harlem, the mecca of black America, immigrants of every complexion live side by side with the descendants of slaves. The story begins with a description of how bullies belittle the twins, Bilal and Nawaal, who are of Nigerian descent. Grandpa Abram and their mother, Ola, do not know how to help the children.
Out of nowhere, a mysterious figure, Abekepi appears, and this fantastic piper offers to rid the neighborhood of bullies for a crazy reward. What follows is an intriguing, and sometimes unsettling, weaving of social themes, in which a supernatural being intervenes to turn the struggles of a single mother and her twins into triumph.

Inscription by Alex Mulloy
About Inscription by Alex Mulloy
Having reached the apex of her acting career as well as some form of an emotional dead end, Sara Whitley decides to take her existence to the next, more purposeful level. She brazenly sets off from Beverly Hills for war-torn Bosnia in October 1995, pledging her capital and her celebrity persona to a worthy cause. Sadly, her ambitions and the reality don’t get a chance to coincide- despite having taken all the measures of precaution applicable to someone of her stature, she winds up in the Bosnian mountains utterly unprepared for the events to follow. The environment Sara finds herself trapped in is so remarkably hostile that even the seasoned men she is accompanied by end up being severely tested.
However, the operation she stumbles upon has very little to do with warfare and a great deal to do with purposely steering clear of it.

‘Inscription’ is Alex Mulloy’s first bona fide attempt at literary expression. He started writing way back in primary school and much to his (ongoing) delight, the compulsion to record the thoughts that pranced in his head remained to this day. Apart from the novel he had written and the one that’s in the works, he concocts a short story every so often. Alex is confident that those will see the light of day sometime soon.
He lives in Pretoria, South Africa. His three children are his best friends and the primary source of his joy.
My Last Chance
I’ve made lots of mistakes.
But never one like this.
Back in high school, the girl next door spent a serendipitous night in my arms. But she wasn’t my type or really up to my level.
So I walked away not knowing her secret–our secret.
Years later, I’m still at the top of my game, ruling my own chunk of the world.
She walks into my office a different woman. Strong, sexy, and dead set on revenge.
I need to walk away again, but I can’t. She’s a different person, and yet, all the things that first had me taking a chance with her pull me back in–deeper this time.
She’s going to wreck my life, one bad decision at a time, and f*ck me, I’m going to let her.
The fact that the little man who calls her mom acts like me stops me in my tracks. He even loves the same things I do.
Surely not.
No damn way I’ve been a selfish bastard and haven’t considered the possibilities of our night together so long ago, but it’s true.
He’s mine, and I’m instantly in love with both of them.
I need one more chance, and I’ll do anything to get it.

Fit for Joy: The Healing Power of Being You
About Fit for Joy: The Healing Power of Being You
First-prize fitness competitor and personal trainer Valeria Teles invites you to reflect on the idea that JOY is an ever-present choice.
From a young age, Valeria yearned for a life that would bring her joy. She hoped to find it in relationships and a successful career, but neither brought a genuine smile to her face. She then discovered fitness, which became her escape – keeping her even further from the truth, until she could no longer live without joy.
During a meditative period away from the fitness world, Valeria learned that exercise and enjoyment belong together, and that forgiveness is essential for personal healing.
Now a student of Buddha’s teachings, she shares her vision for conventional fitness that is integrated with emotional and spiritual well-being.
Fit for Joy will inspire you to establish a harmonious mind-body connection that is based on self-knowledge and self-love. Insightful and tender, this book will show you how freedom, joy, and peace come from courage, and that courage can be found by being true to yourself.

About I Didn’t Believe any of This Hippie Dippy Bulls**t Either- A Skeptic’s Awakening to the Spiritual Universe by Julie Rasmussen
“Do our souls know each other before we’re born? Does the Universe send us signs through license plate numbers? What’s the acceptable number of napkins to take from Taco Bell? Does God care that I swear? What is God?” These are the real questions one woman asks after a spontaneous online date leads her on a spiritual odyssey that includes motorcycles, drag queens, psychics, orgasms, aliens, a frozen dead guy, and a cow named Helen. What she finds is an unexpected hippie dippy awareness of who she really is. Of who we all are.

Galactic Mandate: A Radical Cause
About Galactic Mandate: A Radical Cause
The galaxy is in turmoil. The two main powers, the Acolyte Empire and the Clone Defense Force, vie for supremacy.
Caught in between are the weaker Galactic Planetary League and independent planets, pawns to be used and discarded in the greater game. The peace of the galaxy rests on a powder keg…and the fuse is about to be lit.
As the son of the Acolyte Emperor God-Reign, Devante lives a life of power and luxury that few can fathom.
Since childhood, he has devoted his life to one thing: freeing the clone slaves of the CDF and banning the practice of cloning throughout the galaxy. But he is about to uncover a secret that goes to the heart of the empire he loves and serves, one that will set him on a course of vengeance and destruction that will shake the galaxy to its core.
Against this backdrop of war, treachery, and intrigue, Galactic Mandate tells an epic saga of god-emperors and assassins, spies and queens, princesses and slaves.
The lives of all will be irrevocably changed as Devante embraces his destiny—for when empires collide, no one is safe, and there is no place in the galaxy to hide.
