    A Samson In The Wild addresses years of struggles and ultimately the downsides of a character called Adrian, who goes through a wilderness of careless living, outside of his belief in Jesus as Lord and savior and ultimately a final submission to his true calling. “In this book, I describe sexual activities and other occurrences as part of a story that borders on masculine sexual conduct and its consequences. To avoid being mistaken for another erotic novel, sex is described using natural elements such as smell, colour, and other forms.”  
    I find more bitter than death, the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap, and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare. - Ecclesiastes 7:26 (NIV)  
    Bright Andrew Igho a.k.a  B-Elect left a significant impact on the Nigerian art and music scene through his multifaceted talents as a prolific writer, poet, rap enthusiast and visual artist. He attained critical success with his unique writing style and thought-provoking lyrics.

    During the hottest summer on record, Bea's dangerous new hobby puts everyone's sense of security to the test. 
    Forty-nine and sweating through the hottest summer on record, Beatrice Billings is rudderless: her marriage is stale, her son communicates solely through cryptic text messages, her mother has dementia, and she conducts endless arguments with her older sister in her head. Toronto feels like an inadequately air-conditioned museum of its former self, and the same could be said of her life. She dreams of the past, her days as a newlywed, a new mom, a new homeowner gutting the kitchen—now the only novel experience that looms is the threat of divorce. 
    Everything changes when she googles "escape" and discovers the world of amateur lock-picking. Breaking into houses is thrilling: she’s subtle and discreet, never greedy, but as her curiosity about other people’s lives becomes a dangerous compulsion and the entire city feels a few degrees from boiling over, she realizes she must turn her guilty analysis on herself. A searingly insightful rendering of midlife among the anxieties of the early twenty-first century, Breaking and Entering is an exacting look at the fragility of all the things we take on faith.

    Welcome back to Hope Street Church, where friendships are formed, fresh starts are encouraged, and mysteries are solved . . . 
     
     
     
    When an unscrupulous real estate agent tries to strong-arm a wealthy friend of Grammy Lee's into selling her stately home, Cooper and her Bible study friends are called in to investigate—before any crime has been committed. Grammy's fear is that the man is so devious he'll try to bump off her friend in order to get his hands on the estate. But before Cooper and the gang can do much more than confirm he's as sketchy as Grammy suspects, someone else takes matters into their own hands and takes the agent out of the picture, permanently. 
     
     
     
    The Bible study group knows that even the wicked deserve justice, so they continue to investigate, this time to catch a killer. There's a full roster of service staff heading up their list of suspects, along with the elderly home owner herself. Then Cooper learns that the feds have taken an interest in the case, and suddenly she and her friends begin to worry they're in real danger. Because nothing about this case is what it seems, and while charity may begin at home, this home is full of secrets that may cost Cooper her life . . .
