Justice (The Justice Trilogy)

Author and playwright Dyanna Morrison is bringing renewed attention to the enduring principles of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights through Justice, the first installment in her acclaimed trilogy of stage plays published in book format. Available on Amazon, the award-recognized work combines courtroom drama with documented historical dialogue to encourage thoughtful discussion about the First Amendment, civic responsibility, and the continuing relevance of America's founding ideals as the nation marks its 250th anniversary of independence.

Justice follows newly appointed Judge Grace Porter as she presides over two contemporary First Amendment cases inspired by real events, including the January 20, 2017 inauguration protests and the Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally of August 2017. Throughout the proceedings, America's founding fathers observe the courtroom proceedings through one-way windows, offering commentary drawn largely from their documented writings and debates during the drafting of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

This distinctive narrative approach creates a conversation between the nation's founding era and present-day legal interpretation. Readers are invited to consider how constitutional freedoms continue to influence modern society while reflecting on the responsibilities that accompany those rights.

The foundation of Justice reflects more than twenty-five years of research by Dyanna into the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the historical debates surrounding America's founding. Originally written as a screenplay, the project evolved into a stage play before ultimately being published in book format, allowing readers worldwide to experience its thought-provoking message.

Justice is available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook editions through Amazon. Readers interested in constitutional history, courtroom drama, and historically inspired theatre can learn more by visiting the book's Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Dyanna-Morrison/dp/1735911615.

The work also examines the historical context surrounding the founders, acknowledging their aspirations, imperfections and interpersonal dynamics, while encouraging readers to evaluate history through careful study and informed discussion. By presenting documented dialogue alongside contemporary legal issues, Justice offers an engaging reading experience for audiences interested in history, law, theatre, and public affairs.

Justice has earned recognition as a finalist in several respected literary competitions, including the Book Excellence Awards, National Indie Excellence Awards, International Book Awards, and Best Book Awards in the Performing Arts category. These honors reflect the book's strong writing, creative concept, and thoughtful presentation of constitutional themes. 

The premise for Justice began with a simple question that has stayed with Dyanna for years: What would the framers who wrote the Constitution think if they could witness today's legal proceedings? Would they agree and does it matter?  Dyanna hopes this story encourages readers to reflect on Americans' shared history and the principles that continue to guide the foundation of American democracy.

MIND: PSYCHOLOGY, THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736002554

This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the gnawed bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of what you think you know. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, all the best they never told you in school. 362 Pages, 7.5X9, fully illustrated

• The Brain: How experience controls the biology of the brain: Adrenalin, Cortisol, and Neurotransmitters flood the brain in response to words, Hollywood horror movies, anxiety-producing thoughts, and the girls shrieking “Witch, Witch!” at the Salem witch trial...

• Quest for the Mind Code; how the mind is programmed by the environment.

• New Evidence: How learning "hardwires" the brain for language, emotion, culture, sex....

• MInd Control is an everyday occurrence. Psychology’s General Theory of Relativity; Kamikaze pilots, suicide bombers, celebrity, Tank Killing dogs, sex, and Sacred Cows.  

•The success of Genius is not about the brain, it is about learning how to think. How the greatest minds in history made their discoveries, in their own words.

• Cogito, ergo, cogito cogito: I think, therefore, I think, I think. The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think. Test yourself.  Perception determines our reality.

• What the greatest minds in psychology know about how the mind works. Understanding how the mind works gives us the potential to control our own mind, just as Einstein’s understanding of the atom gave us the potential to control the atom. We are far behind in that understanding.

Best of Friends Trilogy

Book 1: Best of Friends: What happens when a family death wreaks havoc among siblings? What would you do if the ‘peace-maker’ of the family suddenly loses control? If the opportunity arose, would you agree to simply ‘burn the will,’ sell the estate and split the proceeds? What would be your response when calling the cops and being told: “We’re not coming out, unless there are bullets flying and bodies to count?” Elizabeth Caliente is faced with such propositions in Sherry Brantley’s award-winning ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy. Best of Friends has won two national awards for ‘Best Fiction of the Year!’

Book 2: Before Best of Friends: In this much-anticipated prequel to the ‘Best of Friends,’ trilogy, readers discover how the Fabulous Five group were formed in their youth, and are introduced to the unfolding of the powerful secrets binding the group together. Secrets only this private group were privileged to know.

Book 3: Still Best of Friends: The explosive conclusion of the ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy! The Fabulous Five were bound together by secrets they’d all swore to carry to their graves. But with the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ exposing the ‘Secret of the Blanket,’ will the Fabulous Five find themselves desperately being consumed in a modern-day media frenzy that is threatening to consume them? Will this group of friends be able to survive the onslaught of the public revelation of their past deeds? Or will they crumble under the weight of their unexpected circumstances? Travel with the Fabulous Five: Elizabeth Caliente’, Kim Worthy, Kiona Stone, Angela Jackson-(A.J.) and Quineeta Davis as once again, they attempt to weather the storms of adversity that threaten to decimate their bond, their friendship, their past! Will the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ prove to be the final nail in the coffin? Or will vow to continue to ‘deny ‘til they die,’ their involvement in the mystery they’re shrouded in?

WHAT WE CARRY

Everyone in the village knows Callen O'Grady. When someone disappears, when violence threatens to tear lives apart, when there is nowhere else to turn, people come to him. Some believe he is a criminal. Others call him a saviour. No one can explain why, after every disaster, life somehow continues.

Linguist Samantha Wagner arrives in rural Ireland to investigate how a people that loses its language can continue living inside the world that this language created without losing itself. She finds herself drawn into Callen's orbit, where an old crime still divides the village, stories carry more weight than facts, and every answer seems to change the meaning of the question that came before it.

As Samantha falls in love with Callen, the boundaries between language and reality start blurring. The deeper she searches for the truth, the more she starts to question not only the village, but every story through which she has understood herself. Callen knows her without her explaining. Sees her without her performing. Offers her the thing that she's been searching for her entire life: to be understood completely. Until she discovers that might not be a good thing.

Some people change your life. Others change the reality you live in.

What to Say, and How to Lead, When It Matters Most

(Coaching Playbook For Modern Times)

Restaurant and food service managers do not need more theory. They need something that holds up on a Saturday night when half the team is new, the rush will not stop, and everyone is watching to see how you handle it. This is that system. Written for the people who run the floor, The Coaching Playbook gives you a full framework built on behavior, not personality. You will learn how to build trust fast, cut turnover, and lead with purpose even when you are not the one with the title. At the center is the Coaching Loop: Observe, Coach, Apply, Review, Repeat. Five simple moves you can run on any shift, with any team, starting tomorrow. Around it you get the daily huddle that builds culture in five minutes, coaching logs and behavior scoreboards that actually get used, and feedback scripts written the way people really talk. No corporate language. No binder nobody opens.

Inside you will find four frameworks that work together. The Ted Lasso Effect, on leading with belief. The Shoresy Standard, on holding the line and hating to lose. The Assist Standard, on putting the team above the individual. And the Whole Roster Principle, the idea that you do not have weak people, you have strengths and opportunities you have not coached yet. It is warmth and fire in the same leader. Heart and an uncompromising standard. Written in one voice that reads the same whether you run a line, a floor, a bar program, or a district. Clay David Laugier spent more than twenty years leading teams in restaurants, food service, and hospitality before founding Clay Laugier Ventures. He writes for the person running a double on four hours of sleep who still finds a way to make their team believe the night is going to go well. Your team isn't broken. Your system is. Lead with heart. Coach with clarity. Let's set the tone.
