Gemma is a music label executive in her late-forties, and a bit of a functional alcoholic. She's nursing a hangover in her London flat when she gets the call. Her company has sold, her position eliminated. Human-made music simply isn't a sustainable business anymore. People can't afford it, and they don't really care anyway: the auto-generated AI stuff is fine. She never wanted to be in the music business to begin with, she just wanted to be a musician. And now she's neither. Plus unemployed, and broke.Across town, Mike is a graphic designer at the last firm in London still using real artists. Alone and pushing fifty, he goes about his small life with an unearned smugness - having drinks with colleagues, making weak chat with bots on dating apps and moaning about his ex-wife, until his firm is acquired by CONCENTRA - the world's largest AI tech company - and he's summarily dismissed. He joins the millions of unemployed, but he's confident he'll find a new job, and more-so, a new partner.With unemployment punishable by exile to a work camp, and the threat of losing their livelihoods forever looming, the race is on to find their way back to something that resembles happiness... or even just humanity?

Stephen Dolginoff's Off-Broadway musical Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story was called "breathtaking" by The New York Times. It was honored with both Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for Best Musical. It then went on to have over two hundred productions spanning twenty-five countries and seventeen languages-and counting! His thirty-year odyssey with Thrill Me began in 1994 when he first started writing the script and score. Once it was finished, he experienced a series of "thrilling" events that he never could have predicted. From putting on staged readings himself in New York City, to attending opening nights of the show all around the world, he's collected plenty of behind-the-scenes stories, secrets, and surprises to share. What was the key to the success of Thrill Me? Determination? Luck? Talent? All three? In Thrill Maker, Stephen takes an honest look back over the past thirty years to help discover how a non-household-name musical-about two notorious murderers-could fly under the radar to become a bona fide worldwide hit. You may have never even heard of the musical Thrill Me-but after reading Thrill Maker, it's a good bet that you'll be "dying" to see it!

A review update of my previous book "The Dirty Political Game" which raised controversies following publication in 2017. RESILIENCE keeps its originality and consistency on facts or events. The book is a nonfiction-memoir in its own style embellished with quotes, poems, and short stories. It main purpose is to assist law enforcement and policy makers about certain facts earlier announced or developed. RESILIENCE comes as a resurrected product of my previous book, but this time in two versions, English and French. If it is true that you should not judge a book by its cover, I would recommend not to judge one by its size because RESILIENCE could prove you wrong. Above all, I hope to provide readers with the best experience in literature.

They describe how God uses even what seems like difficult circumstances and family life, and even one's interests and personal quirks, to prepare people to fulfill His ultimate purposes. They emphasize once again that faith and obedience, not ability or human reasoning, is the key to pleasing God and accomplishing His will.
