2000 Mules and One Big Lie

About 2000 Mules and One Big Lie

Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. His refusal to accept defeat sparked a frenzy of unsubstantiated theories among his supporters, because “lots of people voted against the most unpopular President in history” didn’t seem plausible to them. Enter 2000 Mules, a provocative documentary by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, claiming to unveil a sinister plot by Democrats to steal the election in key battleground states through ballot harvesting and paid “mules.” The film is based largely on assumptions, anomaly hunting, assertions without evidence, and previously debunked claims. Where evidence is presented it has frequently been misinterpreted or taken out of context, or simply doesn’t support the conclusions the filmmakers claim.

Free on Kindle from September 24-28

In 2000 Mules and One Big Lie: A Stubborn Conspiracy Theory, Jim Cliff meticulously dissects each claim in turn, scrutinizes the so-called evidence, and reveals the reality behind one of the most controversial elections in American history. This compelling investigation not only sheds light on the truth about election fraud but also underscores the importance of critical thinking in an era of unrelenting misinformation.

A Thousand Flying Things

About A Thousand Flying Things

FREE for a limited time on KU!

A love lost. A soul restored. A decade of secrets and separation.

It takes a child to lead them home.

American Dianna Calloway is committed to educating children in the thick of war-ravaged 1990s Southern Sudan. Hampered by disease, a corrupt government and a fierce tribal leader who is harboring a mysterious young boy, Dianna’s passionate calling to help others in a dangerous country is only complicated by the chance meeting of a long-lost love, Qasim. Faced with the choice to protect a child or reconnect with the man she still holds dear, Dianna must make the most difficult decision of her life. Or must she?

Dianna and Qasim can’t be more different. He’s a worldly Lebanese Muslim in his 40s, from a political family, and she’s a 30-something white Christian American. They’ve been challenged by geography, culture, trust, career, and the passing of time. Now there’s a young boy who’s stolen Dianna’s heart. She’ll do anything to get him a visa out of S. Sudan. But when her mother becomes ill, she leaves Africa physically, but her heart remains there, as if it alone can protect the man who loves her and the boy who needs her. What choice does she have now?

Dianna’s alone in Africa, and nothing is as it seems …
It may be that no one needs love more than Dianna …
But a young boy is about to show her the way back home …

Sweeping across continents and cultures, this captivating novel showcases Ramsperger’s work as a humanitarian journalist and will draw readers in with a gripping storyline, gritty details, and profound sensitivity. The novel is both timeless and timely, as war and climate change attack Sudan and S. Sudan once again. A Faulkner Wisdom Literary finalist and a Pulpwood Queen’s International Book of the Year, A Thousand Flying Things is a riveting, poignant read that will work to heal global misunderstandings and encourage conversations about perspectives and assumptions around race, country, and culture while also showing readers that love, not war, conquers all.

A Thousand Flying Things is the stirring, standalone second book in the A Bridge Between Shores women’s fiction series. If you like passionate characters, lyrical prose, and well-researched settings, then you’ll adore award-winning author Kathryn Brown Ramsperger’s international tale.

Baroque Medusa

Interview With Author Baroque Medusa

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Baroque Medusa, a poet and erotica writer with five books under my belt, three of which are self-published. In addition to my writing, I contribute to EDM House Network.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Animals on a Carousel” dropped on 8/18 and is a non-fiction collection of diary entries, written over the past year as erotica poetry. Spanning twenty-one years in the making, this book is my most telling story yet. Through a mix of Haikus and Free Verse, I bare my soul and share graphic and intimate moments with my lover. I invite you to take a seat and experience a journey that’s nothing short of a porn star movie. Get in and take the backseat on this epic joyride through my passionate and uninhibited world.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m not sure if it’s “unusual,” but when I write erotica, I always create a Spotify playlist for each project that transports me into the world of my characters. Music plays a huge role in setting the tone. Artists like Lana del Rey, She Wants Revenge, Love Ecstasy & Terror, Adam Bravin, Deftones, Chino Moreno, Marilyn Manson, (Crosses), Cuffed, and KSLV Noh heavily influence both my writing and personal life.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
When it comes to writing erotica, I’m influenced more by music, post-pandemic human behavior, and my experience as a Gen Xer. Our generation tends to be more open and liberated about sex, especially compared to Gen Z and millennials, so that shapes a lot of my perspective. It’s less about specific authors or books and more about the culture and experiences around me.

What are you working on now?
I’m wrapping up Death by Orgasm, which takes my usual erotica writing in a darker, more absurd direction. It’s a collection of short stories where desire meets unexpected consequences, blending steamy encounters with wicked twists of fate. Each story explores the dangerous side of pleasure, with a dash of dark humor. It’s definitely different from my previous works and has a lot more fun than I had expected.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Along with promoting through my own website and social media, I’ve hired a PR specialist on Fiverr to handle posts on book blog sites, All Author, X, Crave Books, and now Awesome Gang. I’m also planning to try Amazon ads for my next book, though I’m still exploring which platform works best when it comes to erotica.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
You’re the creator. There is no limit. Write what you feel.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I’ve been told many times, “Stop talking and start writing.”

What are you reading now?
I just got done reading “Film for Her” by Orion Carloto, which was a beautifully written nostalgic experience. Lately, though, I’ve been so busy writing—between my books, Dayclub SEAZN (my lifestyle blog), and my work for EDM House Network—that I haven’t had much time for reading. Most of my inspiration comes from music and everyday life, which keeps my creativity flowing.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Now that Death by Orgasm is wrapping up, I’m starting to think about what could push my buttons or challenge me next. I want to think outside the box, just like Death by Orgasm did for me. It’ll be erotica, but the concept, storyline, and whether it’ll be poetry or short stories are still undecided.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
1. Mythology (75th Anniversary Illustrated Edition): Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes – I read this book once a year.

2. The Art of War – Sun Tzu

3. Violet Bent Over Backwards Over the Grass – Lana Del Rey

Uncle Henry’s Hacienda

About Uncle Henry’s Hacienda

Throughout his life, Henry Anderson, born in 1891, had one dream: to own a cattle ranch in Mexico with a beautiful hacienda. Initially, he faced obstacles, but he fought furiously to win a speed typing competition in record time. With perseverance and a cool head, Henry used his prize money to invest in the oil business.
From a small farm in rural South Texas to a dusty border town in Arizona, Henry then moved to California, his finances affluent. He experienced the glitz and glamour of Hollywood in the 1920s; however, high life soon came crashing down. No wife, no child, no money and no status. Everything was gone! His only option was the uncertain life of a prospector in the mountains of Northern Mexico.
Henry’s story includes periods of great success and abject failure as he continued to follow his dream, from mining gold, getting caught up in a Marxist revolt and suffering torture by the Mexican Federales, to rekindling his past in South Texas, where the most unexpected revelation occurred. No matter the financial or psychological torment, even in his old age, he never faltered in his search for that elusive hacienda.

About The Hills of Tuscany: Book Two: The Broken Woman Cycle

Abigail Simon was not good with men. In fact, she was totally hopeless around them. So she never imagined she would be seeing Dante Antoine again, the most intimidating and glorious male she had ever laid eyes upon. Sure, they’d had a connection when he saved her life in Hawaii. But if someone told her she would be showing up on his doorstep over a year later, she would have called them insane. Of course, this was before she finds herself stranded in Italy and on the verge of losing everything she still cares about. It seems like she has no other choice but to barge into his villa and ask for a favor.

G. J. Brown

Interview With Author G. J. Brown

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is my second interview with the Awesome Gang, and I’m happy to be given this opportunity. I will start with a little background about me.

I have loved reading and writing since I was a child. As an adult working in the education field, I often find my mind wandering to ideas for my latest book project. Having to balance teaching and writing has proven a challenge, but I will never stop writing because it is a true passion for me. My main goals in life are to be a good wife, a good mother, and a good writer. That is more than enough to keep me quite busy, I’m sure.

I currently have three books published and two short stories: Hidden In A Hawaiian Sunset, The Hills Of Tuscany, A Story For Ireland, The AI Archives, and Assassin: The Chronicles of Arith.

Hidden In A Hawaiian Sunset, The Hills Of Tuscany, and A Story For Ireland are the first three installments of The Broken Woman Cycle. This series is about people who feel broken yet continue to struggle onward until they achieve their versions of true happiness and healing. Of course, I had to add romance, action, comedy, and a bit of crime thriller into the mix.

The AI Archives is a standalone science fiction story that reflects on love, trauma, and what it means to be human. Assassin: The Chronicles of Arith is the herald of a new fantasy series I’m dreaming up. It is based in a world with gods, magic, and epic heroes set to save the world as they follow the ultimate paths of love, freedom, and truth.

Those are my past and current projects. I hope anyone who gives them a chance enjoys the reading! Thank you for the opportunity to share my books with the world.

Happy Reading, everyone!

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Assassin: The Chronicles of Arith is my latest book. When I was a child, I would spend hours building fantasy worlds for my friends and I to play in. We ran through the woods, climbing trees and sword fighting all day long. These memories of pure joy and adventure inspired me to start a fantasy series. Some of the characters are actually based on people I know in real life.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not unless you count ingesting too much coffee.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Julia Quinn and the funny banter, as well as deep connection, in her books. I also love J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series for the imagination and adventure in every page. Both women have a fantastic sense of humor. That definitely influenced my own writing. I also have a soft spot for classic authors such as Poe, Austin, Bronte (both of them), Shakespeare, Doyle, Tolkein, and some Dickens. I also immensely enjoy newer authors such as Juila Quinn, J. K. Rowling, Shannon Drake, Julie Garwood, Terry Goodkind, R. A. Salvatore, and Matthew Reilley. I could go on forever.

What are you working on now?
I am currently working on two projects: the last book in The Broken Woman Cycle and the first full book in The Chronicles of Arith.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use a combination of methods, such as social media and sites like Get Books Reviewed Online.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I would say to never forget that you love writing, as that’s the main reason you are publishing in the first place.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Book sales are more about marketing than quality writing, so building a platform is the first step to getting your books out there. It’s important to build those skills even if you hate it with the passion of a thousand suns (like me).

What are you reading now?
I am currently reading the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. I am also reading Rapunzel’s Tower: A Fractured Fairy Tale by Wendy L. Anderson.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to finish up The Broken Woman Cycle with book four, and then dive into my fantasy series completely.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Oh, God. Okay, I can do this. The Bible, an enormous anthology of classic and contemporary literature, Tropical Fruits And Other Edible Plants, and How To Survive On A Deserted Island.

Breaking Boxes: Dismantling the Metaphorical Boxes That Bind Us

About Breaking Boxes: Dismantling the Metaphorical Boxes That Bind Us

What Boxes Define You?

“I thought I’d figured out boxes early in life. From the anticipation of the puppet leaping out of my wind-up jack in the box to constructing castles from oversized cardboard containers, I thought I understood their boundaries. Yet, as life unfolded, I realized boxes aren’t always square, and some are cleverly designed to keep us confined.”

Boxes are a part of our lives, following us wherever we venture, whether we acknowledge them or not. They provide structure, safety, and security and often help identify similarities between us. We live in boxes (houses), receive boxed gifts, and pack our belongings into boxes to move into a new “box.” We use boxes to express things: “Think outside the box,” “She’s boxed into a corner,” or “Be sure to check all the boxes.” Some people base their identity on the box they put themselves in.

Boxes can also be scary. By nature, they divide and separate. Unseen, metaphorical boxes of expectations of our families, religions, communities, employers, and others can evoke intense emotions and trap us.

Serial real estate entrepreneur Betsy Pepine has lived in her share of boxes. From growing up with the expectation of becoming a doctor through creating a successful real estate business—one of Inc.’s 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the USA multiple times—her compelling stories shared in Breaking Boxes will help you:
