In this political satire, a television talk show host becomes president and fights the media as America approaches a chaotic and riotous pandemic-affected election. Ron Suit is a television talk show host when he decides to run for President of the United States. Against all odds, he beats career politician, Stacey Lincoln, and sets into motion a chain of events that transforms the country in ways no one imagined. As President, Suit faces four years of attacks from a cynical media and self-interested establishment figures. He endures threats of impeachment and incessant criticism. Still, his administration enjoys success despite the odds. But when a global pandemic unfolds and cripples the United States during the election primaries, the tides change for the leader of the free world. President Suit’s campaign opponent is an aging establishment figure who, despite his incompetence, is heavily-favored to win the election thanks to underhand tactics employed by his party and their shadowy conspirators. Woven throughout the political narrative is a darker story of intrigue and murder.

The weekend of July Fourth, 1971 The jukebox is playing ”Everything is Beautiful”… Old Glory flaps against the blue, Southern sky… The aromas of burgers and hot dogs hang in the still air… Children laugh as they play with sparklers in the park… And the night fills with screams when a girl’s body is found, her throat torn out by savage teeth… Summer Moore is a waitress at the Dixie Dinette. Twenty, blonde and beautiful, Summer desperately needs to break free from her mother’s constant nagging and the dull monotony of life in the small mountain town of Stonebridge, Virginia. She wants out. His buddies in ‘Nam called him the Midnight Rider. Trager’s the name on his Army jacket, but a dark shadow of the unknown hangs over this Vietnam vet as he rides into town on a night-black Electra Glide, called on a quest that’s tainted by blood. Sheriff Buddy Hicks doesn’t like hippies in his town…especially not long-haired hippie bikers. As soon as the sheriff saw him, he knew the biker was trouble. Now something feels different in Stonebridge—something he doesn’t understand—and he’s not going to put up with radicals in his town…not some biker, and not some smart mouth like Summer Moore. There are secrets in the woods. Summer and the biker, locked in a waltz, an embrace of shadows, that has lasted for centuries… It’s a death-dance in the moonlight. It’s a love story. With blood.

The story is about Lynx Ferry, a young boy who, at a very early age, is bound by a pledge he makes to his father. He will help the deprived at all times and feed everyone who comes knocking at his door. He keeps the promise, much against his mothers wishes, and nearly loses his life for helping his neighbours. He knew then that if he stays a minute longer in the kitchen, he will lose his life. He walks out of his mothers kitchen with blood running down his throat, and thats when his adventures begin. He attracts all kinds of people on his journey but mostly con artists, thieves, and drug addicts. They call him the sucker because of his desire to feed people and give his belongings to people who ask him for them. Then there is one drug addict who is out of the same neighbourhood as the boyand who knows of the boys weaknesses. He knows how to exploit it and figures that if the boy is free with his money by giving it away, then he could claim 10 per cent from the boys earnings and feed his habits. But the boy, who doesnt hold with drugs and liquor, refuses. He has better uses for his money. The boy is now streetwise and has been living outdoors for some time. He takes evasive measures and disappears from the drug addict. He travels abroad, and years later, he marries and settles down in London. By some extraordinary bad luck, the drug addict tracks him down and makes his demand, but Lynx Ferry wont budge. The addict then teams up with a couple of local toughs, kidnaps Ferrys children, murders them, and disappears. After many years of searching to bring the murderers to justice, which proves futile, Lynx uses the power of the mind to draw them to him. Then in the frozen wasteland of the snowcapped Arctic, the subliminal message draws them out, and Lynx Ferry has his say.

On November 8, 2016, the seemingly impossible became real: Donald Trump—billionaire tycoon with fundamentally xenophobic, savage, and populist speech—won the presidency and began endangering values like democracy and world peace. Author Daniel Estulin argues that nothing about this situation was accidental and that behind this terrifying event many interests are hidden. This volume asks: How did America get here? Was it a truly democratic event? And, above all, what are the interests behind the election of Trump? From his privileged status as a Russian ex-spy, Daniel Estulin dives into the long process that has led Donald Trump to the presidency. In The Shadows of a Presidency offers a behind-the-scenes chronicle of the actors, governments, companies, and institutions involved in his election and the payout it will yield for insiders.

A collage in art is something like a mosaic. It takes picture fragments which have a certain meaning in themselves and juxtaposes them with other picture fragments that convey a somewhat different, but related, idea. When viewed as a collective whole, the sub-themes in each picture blend together to create a large unified master theme. This book might be described as a literary collage. The theme in each essay conveys a part of the life of our society and political landscape. The essays were written to accompany e-mail greetings for my four daughters and several of my friends at the four seasonal turning points of the year, experienced similarly at the middle latitudesthe two equinoxes and two solstices. Now, some nine years after starting the practice in 2006, a number of essays have accumulatedsome short and personal and others longer and impersonal. The essays usually make some point about the world that we live infrom the way that words convey meaning, to phenomena of the mind, to political issues of the day. The purpose of this book is to stimulate thought and to encourage discussion.
