    'A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended.' Tim Tate, author of Hitler's British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the Cold
    'A captivating page-turner ...' Helen Fry, author of Women in Intelligence
    
    
    Ambassador's daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted.
    
    Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitler's 'New Germany', befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo.
    
    An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallace's disastrous 1948 presidential campaign.
    
    Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard.
    
    Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behaviour and pro-Soviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitor's Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodd's life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.

    Black Foundation Reconsidered -...

    This is a diagnostic. It does not offer comfort, and it does not assign blame to outside forces. Instead, it makes a case that is increasingly difficult to avoid: the primary obstacle facing Black communities in America and across the African Diaspora is not racism. It is the systematic destruction of a collective worldview, a shared doctrine rooted in language, that once held communities together and gave individuals the mental architecture to act with purpose. That foundation was dismantled. And until it is rebuilt from the inside, no amount of rights, aid, or representation will close the gap. 
    There is also something practical here: a framework for thinking differently. It draws a precise distinction between racism and xenophobia, two phenomena that are routinely conflated, with real consequences for how people navigate institutions, workplaces, and social environments. It introduces the concept of "rethinking," a deliberate psychological practice of pausing before fast conclusions, as a survival skill capable of interrupting cycles of violence, failure, and self-defeat. And it offers a model for rebuilding the family and community from within, not as a waiting game for external political permission, but as an act of internal will. 
    Some readers will be uncomfortable. The victimhood script that dominates mainstream Black public discourse is challenged here. So are the limits of modern liberalism and the political frameworks that have promised much and delivered little structural change. None of it flatters. But it does something rarer: it takes the community seriously enough to demand more from it.

    There is no them — there is only us, celebrating our common humanityWhatever your spiritual path, chances are that the primary tenets of your faith include universal love, acceptance, and compassion. Yet three thousand years after Moses, twenty-five hundred years after the Buddha, two thousand years after Jesus, and fifteen hundred years after Muhammad, we are still divided by our differences. Religious intolerance, discrimination, even persecution and violence make up the not-so-golden rule.The Interfaith Alternative shows us how we can celebrate each other without fear of losing our own identity. It illuminates the path to creating a nurturing spiritual community that honors and includes all religious languages—an alternative to Jews worshiping only with Jews, Christians with Christians, and Muslims with Muslims. In doing so, it demonstrates that through coming together in a mutually supportive environment we can concentrate on our shared desire to remake the world into a compassionate, loving place.At its core, Interfaith is about community and justice. Once we truly embrace diversity, we embrace our common humanity. A powerful antidote to the current climate of fear and mistrust, The Interfaith Alternative argues that it is not how we encounter the sacred, but what we do about it that counts—there are positive alternatives to religious lines in the sand.Steven Greenebaum is an Interfaith minister whose experiences directing choirs of different faiths and denominations have helped him to understand the profound wisdom of many spiritual traditions. Steven has dedicated his life to working for social and environmental justice. He is the founder of the Living Interfaith Church in Lynnwood, Washington.

    The vault lies deep beneath the palace. 
    Alric, the Elran dancer, opens the immense stone door, guiding Heath and Caio into the vast chamber. 
    “The ancient inhabitants of this desert imbued items with a great number of dark powers. Some of these enchantments were distinctly...sexual.” 
    Caio’s pale cheeks flush deep pink as he realizes what kind of objects are locked away here. 
    The young dancer runs his fingertips over an ominous, silver-trimmed black box, its obsidian surface glittering temptingly in the torchlight. 
    “They say it houses a spirit. A creature that can provide endless pleasure.” Alric lowers his voice. “But only a powerful mage can open it...someone like you.” 
    ***CONTAINS EXPLICIT GAY SEXUAL CONTENT***
