Awakening: A Patriot’s Diary of American Deception

Awakening: A Patriot's Diary of American DeceptionIn “Awakening: A Patriot’s Diary of American Deception”, one woman meticulously documents America’s tumultuous journey from 2020 to 2025 through the eyes of a conservative patriot convinced that larger forces are at work behind the scenes. When the 2020 presidential election sends shockwaves through her worldview, Sidney and her friend Ella dive headfirst into a rabbit hole of alternative explanations, conspiracies, and supposed government machinations.This raw, unfiltered chronicle captures the day-by-day experience of those who believed the “official story” was anything but—from COVID lockdowns and vaccine skepticism to election fraud claims and theories about deep state corruption. As Sidney faithfully records her observations, research, and conversations, readers witness the evolution of a movement and mindset that fundamentally reshapes how millions of Americans understand their country and government.More than just a political diary, this is a psychological portrait of conviction in uncertain times. The narrative weaves together global events, small-town politics, and personal relationships strained by ideological differences. Sidney’s ongoing quest for vindication—that moment when everyone will finally see what she sees—drives this compelling account of life inside an alternative information ecosystem.If you enjoyed “American Marxism,” “The Great Reset,” and “Triggered,” you’ll love “Awakening” – a frontline dispatch from America’s cultural and political divide.

Apollo’s Raven (Curse of Clansmen and Kings Book 1)

Apollo's Raven (Curse of Clansmen and Kings Book 1)“Apollo’s Raven” is the first installment in Linnea Tanner’s series, “Curse of Clansmen and Kings.” Drawing from the rich tapestry of Celtic and Roman history, the novel is a blend of myth, magic, and dark political intrigue. A complex yet captivating heroine, Catrin, is at the heart of the tale. Portrayed with a prescient connection to her spiritual roots and an unnerving ability to foretell future events, the spirited Celtic princess’ destiny is intertwined with that of the Roman Empire, bound by a curse that transcends the realm of mortals. The impetuous Marcellus, the great-grandson of Mark Antony, is on a dangerous diplomatic mission with his father to negotiate an uneasy peace with the Celtic tribes on behalf of Rome. His path fatefully crosses with Catrin’s, setting the stage for a tale of forbidden love, political maneuvering, and kingdom-threatening curses that echo across time.

In 24 AD British kings hand-picked by Rome to rule are fighting each other for power. King Amren’s former queen, a powerful Druid, has cast a curse that Blood Wolf and the Raven will rise and destroy him. The king’s daughter, Catrin, learns to her dismay that she is the Raven and her banished half-brother is Blood Wolf. Trained as a warrior, Catrin must find a way to break the curse, but she is torn between her forbidden love for her father’s enemy, Marcellus, and her loyalty to the people. She must summon the magic of the Ancient Druids to alter the dark prophecy that threatens the fates of everyone in her kingdom.

Will Catrin overcome and eradicate the ancient curse? Will she be able to embrace her forbidden love for Marcellus? Will she cease the war between Blood Wolf and King Amren and save her kingdom?

Immerse yourself in Linnea Tanner’s first installment of an extraordinary series that captures the magic, myth, and treacherous battlefields of primitive Britain.

A New Farm Language: How a sharecropper’s son discovered a world of talking plants, smart insects, and natural solutions

A New Farm Language: How a sharecropper's son discovered a world of talking plants, smart insects, and natural solutionsJoe Lewis grew up poor on a Mississippi cotton farm without electricity or running water.

That led him on a trajectory to become an award-winning entomologist with the USDA-ARS at the Tifton Campus, University of Georgia.During his 40-year career, Lewis discovered how plants use “SOS” signals to recruit beneficial insects to their defense. In 2008, he was awarded the coveted Wolf Prize in Agriculture for this groundbreaking work. In his new book, Lewis looks back on his charmed childhood and distinguished scientific career while tracing our industrialized country’s increasing alienation from nature.Lewis believes we can reconnect with nature through learning to speak a new language of co-existence and cooperation — both in our agriculture and our everyday lives. This coming-of-age tale will inspire anyone interested in agriculture, talking plants and smart insects.Includes a foreword by Mark Schatzker.
