Notes from a Professional Player...

Dr. Tiy-E Muhammad

Critically acclaimed Relationship Sex-pert, and licensed therapist Dr. Tiy-E Muhammad is back with his latest installment aptly titled "Notes from a Professional Player, The Gangster and The Gentleman" where he boldly tackles the antiquated meaning of "Player" and offers a re-imagined definition of what a contemporary player, aka Ladies Man, is or supposed to be. Drawing upon his debut novel, "From "Player to Poet," and his years in private marriage and family counseling, Dr. Tiy-E now raises the bar, and zeros in on the definition of a "PROFESSIONAL PLAYER," and his responsibilities. And because it takes one to know one, Dr. Tiy-E says "I take complete ownership on the concept, usage, definition, and knowledge of the word Player in this book." In "Notes," the former radio and tv personality, explicitly addresses a wide range of topics from male sexual prowess (BDE too!) to the sometimes-taboo subject of male hygiene or, lack-there-of. It also includes much deeper, introspective chapters on self-image, and fatherhood, encouraging readers to take a deeper look at their true self versus their perceived self. In "Notes," Dr. Tiy-E lays out a CIA style of question and answer to guide readers to uncover their own truth by way of candid examples and uncensored storytelling. Delivering dating tips decade-by-decade, Dr. Tiy-E holds men accountable for the fundamentals all "True Players" should adhere to — the foundation of which— is Love of self. From moments that tug at your heart, to his lifetime of lessons in manhood, Dr. Tiy-E is unwavering in his truth serum. And it Works! Perhaps the reason his latest installment is as brilliantly authentic as his namesake.

The Greatest Viking - The Life...

Desmond Seward

Raider. Conqueror. King. Saint.
This is the story of Olav Haraldsson, the greatest Viking who ever lived.
A ruthless Viking warrior who named his most prized battle weapon after the Norse goddess of death, Olav Haraldsson and his mercenaries wrought terror and destruction from the Baltic to Galicia in the early eleventh century. Thousands were put to the sword, enslaved or ransomed. In England, Canterbury was sacked, its archbishop murdered and London Bridge pulled down. The loot amassed from years of plunder helped Olav win the throne of Norway, and a century after his death he was proclaimed 'Eternal King' and has been a national hero there ever since.
Despite his bloodthirsty beginnings, Olav converted to Christianity and, in a personal vendetta against the old Norse gods, made Norway Christian too, thereby changing irrevocably the Viking world he was born into. Told with reference to Norse sagas, early chronicles and the work of modern scholars, Desmond Seward paints an intensely vivid and colourful portrait of the life and times of arguably the greatest Viking of them all.
