Activating the calling beyond being in the mood. So many thoughts constantly taking shape but which ones are we to trust?

The first and only book to be written by a member of America's most secret military unit!

Adam Gamal (pseudonym), one of the only Muslim Arab Americans to serve inside "The Unit" - as the Department of Defense has asked us to refer to it - has written one of the most explosive and unlikely stories of immigration, service and sacrifice -- THE UNIT: My Life Fighting Terrorists as One of America's Most Secret Military Operatives, written with Kelly Kennedy (St. Martin's Press, on sale date February 20, 2024, $32.00).

​**As a heads up - Adam will be disguised on camera and voice altered for audio due to security concerns**

Within the U.S. military there is a team so secretive that not only is the name of this unit classified, its members are like ghosts to the military personnel in the country. Veterans Affairs doesn't even have them listed. Phantoms or not, this highly-trained team has been responsible for preventing dozens of terrorist attacks against the U.S. and Western world. This is the world in which Adam Gamal lived. Before that, his life in Egypt was one of great dismay as the Muslim Brotherhood overran a once-free country. When he arrived in the U.S., he spoke no English, was 5'1", 112 pounds, and certainly was far from what one would expect a future soldier to be. He loved his new country, and soon enlisted in the U.S. Army, feeling a great compulsion to serve a nation that gave him the freedom he craved.

From his first deployment in Bosnia, to his search for Saddam Hussein in Iraq, to his work in Africa fighting against the very same Muslim Brotherhood that terrorized his community in Egypt when he was a child, he offers a gripping first-hand account of our nation's most secret military unit. His tales of a cat-and-mouse game tracking terrorist Aden Hashi Ayro - the head of the Hizb al-Shabab, or youth wing of the Islamic Courts Union, who it was believed led militias within Somalia - are filled with tension.

Gamal also goes into great detail about the diversification of our nation's defenses. As he says in THE UNIT, he was often mistaken for being Hispanic, and relates stories of other members of the military who were from a Middle Eastern background who passed for Latino. But because they could blend in within those communities overseas when hunting bad guys, they gave the U.S. an advantage in gathering intelligence necessary to capture terrorists. Fair-haired and fair-skinned American soldiers are going to stick out in many nations dealing with conflict, especially those representing threats to the U.S. Gamal strongly believes that immigrants would make extraordinary soldiers. He feels that women, people of color, and immigrants do things differently. They see things differently, and meld different views, strategies, and thought processes when engaging enemies. This is crucial and often overlooked.

Gamal talks about the importance of keeping up with intelligence and why future wars will resemble nothing like they have throughout the 20th century and the very early years of the 21st century. America needs to do a better job relating with the citizenry of our allies, and those defending them. Along the way, we abandoned the idea of winning hearts and minds, he argues, and America needs to return to that way of thinking.

When reality shows serve as the comedy entertainment. It used to be 30 minute sitcoms! Now we're attached to love, drama, cooking, fashion, travel and tiny homes. Mentally and physically we're all moving in every direction with no idea what's real. Yet we choose to live vicariously thorough them. Why? Because we can point our fingers at them and not us.

In the near years ahead, we'll be hearing more about singlelarity. When AI technology and machines no longer need humans. Experts say it should arrive sometime in 2031. While science is celebrating singlelarity others have concerns of machines being too intelligent, unpredictable and very dangerous. Which means what when it comes to war? Is that being too human?

To open the door to a new season of growth in the right direction. So many will ask, "What does that even mean?" It's in the relationship.

Middle Grade and YA Author, Ali Terese shares her chaotically funny voice and community-oriented message, in FREE PERIOD, a cry of protest spotlighting both the undeserved shame young people feel around menstruation and the importance of friendship to all who experience it.

Best friends Helen and Gracie are pranking their way through middle school when a stinky stunt lands them in the front office — again. Because nothing else has curbed their chaos, the principal orders the best friends to do the unthinkable: care about something, anything, to make them stop! So, they join the school’s Community Action Club with plans to do as little as humanly possible.

But when Helen is caught unprepared by an early period and bleeds through her pants — they were gold lamé! — the girls take over the club’s campaign for maxi pads in bathrooms for all students who menstruate. In the name of period equity, the two friends use everything from over-the-top baked goods to glitter gluing for change. But nothing can prepare them for a clueless school board (ew), an annoying little sister (ugh), and crushes (oh my!).

As Helen and Gracie find themselves closer to change and in deeper trouble than ever before, they must decide if they care enough to keep going . . . even if it costs them their friendship.”
