“Bad Liar: A Novel,” by Tami Hoag (Dutton)

A small Louisiana town is turned upside-down with two missing persons — one a hometown hero, the other a local zero — and a body is dumped at the end of a dead-end road with immediate identifiers of hands and face obliterated by shotgun blasts. Is the murder victim the local hero, the zero, or a third victim? Said BookList in its review, ”Hoag perfectly captures the Cajun dialect and way of life the dark, steamy atmosphere of the Louisiana bayous, the claustrophobia of small-town life, lost dreams; dashed hopes, and tragic lives in this five-star read with a powerful, sucker-punch ending."  [Fiction]


“The End of Tolerance: How Democrats Use the Sin of Tolerance to Destroy America,” by Vince Everett Ellison (Palmetto Publishing)

Author Vince Ellison submits that the Democrat Party is promoting tolerance to turn the United States into something it was never meant to be. In the process, Democrats are butting heads with the values that bind America — faith, family, and freedom. The party that once championed slavery and Jim Crow has morphed into the party of open borders, late-term abortion, and the sexualization of children. And we’re supposed to tolerate this? His book is a call to America to stand up and say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” “Look at what we’re tolerating now,” Ellison said at the National Conservative Student Conference. “Sex trafficking across the border, fentanyl in our system, drag queens going into schools shaking their behinds into children’s faces. They take God out of the library and put porn in — take the Bible out and put the drag queens in. And we tolerate it! Well, I’m here to tell you today that my tolerance has come to an end!”  [Nonfiction]

“Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America,” by Charles Gasparino (Center Street)

When corporate America sticks to what it does best — producing quality goods and services to consumers at reasonable prices — it makes money for its shareholders. But when it delves into the ideology of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), one can expect trouble ahead, according to author and Fox Business Network’s Charlie Gasparino. Well-known brands like Anheuser-Busch, Disney, and Target allowed themselves to be intimidated by the radical left, and paid the price with boycotts, tumbling sales and plummeting shareholder value. By way of in-depth interviews and exclusive reporting, Gasparino reveals how some of our biggest and wealthiest corporate giants got suckered into the woke ideology. “Through extensive interviews and research, Gasparino documented how corporations eagerly embraced woke ideas, only to face harsh financial realities,” wrote Rob Bluey in his Daily Signal review. “His new book ‘Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America offers a stark warning to CEOs who might be tempted to follow this path.”  [Nonfiction]


“Unavoidably Unsafe: Childhood Vaccines Reconsidered,”

by Edward Geehr M.D. & Jeffrey Barke M.D. (ICAN Press)

Today’s parents are in a quandary. They want the best medical advice and care for their children, but after the debacle of the COVID pandemic, trust is at a premium, and they have reason for concern, according to Drs. Edward Geehr and Jeffrey Barke.
Some of the issues they address include:

• The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and its implications for vaccine safety;
• The symbiotic relationship between pharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies;
• The shortcomings of Emergency Use Authorization and its implications for vaccine safety;
• The presence of potentially harmful additives in vaccine formulations;
• A fresh look at possible links between vaccines and autism;
• Cautionary considerations regarding mRNA vaccines and their suitability for children;
• The significance of proper informed consent and patient advocacy in vaccination decisions.

“This book is a godsend,” said CGB for Amazon. “And it’s not anti-vax. All the book does is present ample data that (somehow!!) is so difficult to find analyzed thoroughly anywhere else - and leaves it to the readers to make their own conclusions. I am grateful to doctors Geehr and Barke for their research and clear presentation of the facts to lay people like me!”  [Nonfiction]
