The Third Estate: Devil's Tango

(The Third Estate Series Book 2)

When Sophie Allard is accused of murder, her only chance of surviving is to trust the last man on earth she should. Trying to bury her past and build a future, medical student and military officer Sophie Allard lives by precision, discipline, and instinct—until a dying gunshot victim whispers a message in her ear meant for someone else. By sunrise, she is suspended, framed for murder, and hunted by people who don't leave witnesses. Evidence vanishes. Someone is tying off loose ends—and Sophie just became one of them. Three years off the grid hasn't erased Kai Lovac’s name from the kill lists. Cold, disciplined, and lethal, he knows exactly what happens to people who uncover the wrong secret. His friend died protecting Dossier 1627—a file powerful enough to expose the Third Estate, a covert syndicate that kills to remain invisible. Lovac once worked in their shadows. Now they want him erased. Driven together by a shared threat and a past neither can escape, Sophie and Lovac are pulled into a labyrinth where assassins close in, hidden labs bury the truth, and betrayal waits at every turn. Each clue pulls them deeper. Alliances fracture without warning. Every step demands perfect timing. A single misstep carries a body count. And when the music stops, one wrong move will end everything. Relentless, cinematic, and razor-sharp, Devil's Tango is a high-stakes thriller of precision, power, and survival—where every turn is calculated, every secret is lethal, and trusting the wrong person can be your last mistake.

Capitalism: A Pillar for People, Community, and Our Ways of Life

  

Capitalism: A Pillar for People, Community, and Our Ways of Life

By William M. Togbah

What if the future of capitalism depends not only on how markets grow, but on how widely opportunity is shared?

Economic systems are often discussed through statistics, policies, and political arguments. William M. Togbah takes a more human-centered route in Capitalism: A Pillar for People, Communities, and Our Ways of Life, examining capitalism through the people and communities expected to live within it. Rather than treating capitalism as a settled idea, Togbah presents it as an economic model that should be reconsidered for a changing, increasingly interconnected century. 

Africa plays an important role in that discussion. Togbah argues that conversations about capitalism often overlook developing economies, particularly places where governments and public services may have less capacity. His examination considers how private enterprise, individual initiative, competition, and different levels of government regulation affect economic life across African societies. 

Yet the book reaches beyond a defense of one economic system. Its chapters move through women’s empowerment, the growth of the middle class, technology, education, multinational business, and job creation—subjects that bring economics closer to everyday concerns. Education receives particular attention as a path toward specialization, productivity, knowledge sharing, and greater economic participation. 

That perspective gives the book particular relevance for today’s writers, thinkers, students, and socially conscious readers. Discussions of inequality, employment, education, and development can easily become abstract. Togbah continually returns those discussions to human outcomes: whether people can find work, develop useful skills, participate economically, strengthen their communities, and imagine better possibilities for the next generation. His exploration also draws from interviews concerning education, wealth disparity, public safety, and other social concerns, alongside his own experience of economic inequality in Liberia. 

For contemporary society, perhaps the book’s most valuable invitation is not that every reader must agree with its conclusions. It is that economic ideas deserve closer examination when they shape education, opportunity, work, identity, and community life.

Readers interested in African politics, global economics, development, education, and the continuing debate over capitalism will find plenty to consider in William M. Togbah’s Capitalism: A Pillar for People, Communities, and Our Ways of Life.

MIND: PSYCHOLOGY, THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...

           

MIND: PSYCHOLOGY, THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736002554

This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the gnawed bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of what you think you know. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, all the best they never told you in school. 362 Pages, 7.5X9, fully illustrated

• The Brain: How experience controls the biology of the brain: Adrenalin, Cortisol, and Neurotransmitters flood the brain in response to words, Hollywood horror movies, anxiety-producing thoughts, and the girls shrieking “Witch, Witch!” at the Salem witch trial...

• Quest for the Mind Code; how the mind is programmed by the environment.

• New Evidence: How learning "hardwires" the brain for language, emotion, culture, sex....

• MInd Control is an everyday occurrence. Psychology’s General Theory of Relativity; Kamikaze pilots, suicide bombers, celebrity, Tank Killing dogs, sex, and Sacred Cows.  

•The success of Genius is not about the brain, it is about learning how to think. How the greatest minds in history made their discoveries, in their own words.

• Cogito, ergo, cogito cogito: I think, therefore, I think, I think. The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think. Test yourself.  Perception determines our reality.

• What the greatest minds in psychology know about how the mind works. Understanding how the mind works gives us the potential to control our own mind, just as Einstein’s understanding of the atom gave us the potential to control the atom. We are far behind in that understanding.

Best of Friends Trilogy

    

Best of Friends Trilogy

Book 1: Best of Friends: What happens when a family death wreaks havoc among siblings? What would you do if the ‘peace-maker’ of the family suddenly loses control? If the opportunity arose, would you agree to simply ‘burn the will,’ sell the estate and split the proceeds? What would be your response when calling the cops and being told: “We’re not coming out, unless there are bullets flying and bodies to count?” Elizabeth Caliente is faced with such propositions in Sherry Brantley’s award-winning ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy. Best of Friends has won two national awards for ‘Best Fiction of the Year!’

Book 2: Before Best of Friends: In this much-anticipated prequel to the ‘Best of Friends,’ trilogy, readers discover how the Fabulous Five group were formed in their youth, and are introduced to the unfolding of the powerful secrets binding the group together. Secrets only this private group were privileged to know.

Book 3: Still Best of Friends: The explosive conclusion of the ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy! The Fabulous Five were bound together by secrets they’d all swore to carry to their graves. But with the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ exposing the ‘Secret of the Blanket,’ will the Fabulous Five find themselves desperately being consumed in a modern-day media frenzy that is threatening to consume them? Will this group of friends be able to survive the onslaught of the public revelation of their past deeds? Or will they crumble under the weight of their unexpected circumstances? Travel with the Fabulous Five: Elizabeth Caliente’, Kim Worthy, Kiona Stone, Angela Jackson-(A.J.) and Quineeta Davis as once again, they attempt to weather the storms of adversity that threaten to decimate their bond, their friendship, their past! Will the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ prove to be the final nail in the coffin? Or will vow to continue to ‘deny ‘til they die,’ their involvement in the mystery they’re shrouded in?

Meet the dynamic members of the Fabulous Five as this explosive trilogy takes readers on a whirlwind excursion among five friends.

Justice (The Justice Trilogy)

Author and playwright Dyanna Morrison is bringing renewed attention to the enduring principles of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights through Justice, the first installment in her acclaimed trilogy of stage plays published in book format. Available on Amazon, the award-recognized work combines courtroom drama with documented historical dialogue to encourage thoughtful discussion about the First Amendment, civic responsibility, and the continuing relevance of America's founding ideals as the nation marks its 250th anniversary of independence.

Justice follows newly appointed Judge Grace Porter as she presides over two contemporary First Amendment cases inspired by real events, including the January 20, 2017 inauguration protests and the Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally of August 2017. Throughout the proceedings, America's founding fathers observe the courtroom proceedings through one-way windows, offering commentary drawn largely from their documented writings and debates during the drafting of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

This distinctive narrative approach creates a conversation between the nation's founding era and present-day legal interpretation. Readers are invited to consider how constitutional freedoms continue to influence modern society while reflecting on the responsibilities that accompany those rights.

The foundation of Justice reflects more than twenty-five years of research by Dyanna into the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the historical debates surrounding America's founding. Originally written as a screenplay, the project evolved into a stage play before ultimately being published in book format, allowing readers worldwide to experience its thought-provoking message.

Justice is available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook editions through Amazon. Readers interested in constitutional history, courtroom drama, and historically inspired theatre can learn more by visiting the book's Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Dyanna-Morrison/dp/1735911615.

The work also examines the historical context surrounding the founders, acknowledging their aspirations, imperfections and interpersonal dynamics, while encouraging readers to evaluate history through careful study and informed discussion. By presenting documented dialogue alongside contemporary legal issues, Justice offers an engaging reading experience for audiences interested in history, law, theatre, and public affairs.

Justice has earned recognition as a finalist in several respected literary competitions, including the Book Excellence Awards, National Indie Excellence Awards, International Book Awards, and Best Book Awards in the Performing Arts category. These honors reflect the book's strong writing, creative concept, and thoughtful presentation of constitutional themes. 

The premise for Justice began with a simple question that has stayed with Dyanna for years: What would the framers who wrote the Constitution think if they could witness today's legal proceedings? Would they agree and does it matter?  Dyanna hopes this story encourages readers to reflect on Americans' shared history and the principles that continue to guide the foundation of American democracy.
