There's a new player in the great game, and the Elders edicts hold no sway over them... Steve and the team hold the ship but only for now. Yet the world is swiftly waking to the new reality, the vultures are circling, and keeping the ship looks to be at least as hard as taking it ever was. Time is never on Steve's side, but the knowledge that he agreed to present himself before the only faction he's not at war with, and the Elders have no patience for delays, only add to his stress. He's out of time, out of tricks, and patience? That's a luxury long gone. But while Steve might be running low on many things, his reservoir of brutality is far from dry. Good thing too, because one of the god-like creators has cast her ominous gaze on him now, and as far as she's concerned, he and all his kind are vermin. What will the vermin do, when the exterminators are called?

DV-8 lives in a dystopian, totalitarian, Orwellian nightmare...and he loves it! After all, when every single aspect of your life is dictated, it takes a lot of the pressure off you.He never has to worry about making plans for the weekend as he's not allowed to do anything; he never has to worry about making small talk with strangers since any topics outside of party business are outlawed and he never has to worry about meeting someone as he already has a partner assigned to him. He's living the dream.So, when the revolution comes and DV-8 is granted his freedom (and a new name), he finds he has absolutely no idea what to do with it. Eventually he does what we all do when we are scared and clings on to his safe, familiar ways for dear life. While the majority are out enjoying their new found freedom, DV finds himself ostracised for living by the same rules that used to promise him safety, security and a sense of purpose. When DV discovers there are others like him who are not quite ready to give up the old ways, they team up and hatch a plan to put things "right".A twist on a traditional Orwellian tale that will make you say, 'Bring Back Big Brother'.

What would you do if you learned-from a podcast-that your dad (a pastor) was a serial sexual abuser? For Ryan George, this isn't a hypothetical question. He knew the faces behind the stories he heard. In fact, his mind flashed with memories of the abuse he'd endured from that same pastor as he listened to news that would change his life. In time, as he processed the destruction rampant in the cult of his youth, he found predatory behavior to be more of a feature than a bug of his former religion as both abuse and coverups were baked into its theology. Rather than spiral into an understandable deconstruction of his faith, Ryan instead leaned into the intimate embrace of a winsome Jesus. Hurt and Healed by the Church details how he untangled Jesus from the harmful tenets of American fundamentalism. Ryan describes the mental shifts and the restorative relationships he experienced on his journey of healing from church trauma and spiritual manipulation. If you are someone looking to heal church hurt-by leaders or institutions-Ryan shows how rebuilding your faith doesn't have to look like abandonment. He offers hope and inspiration through his story of an unorthodox redemption. If Ryan could find a thriving and contagious faith after experiencing deep church wounds, so can you.

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!
