Still the Night Call

Still the Night Call…A Brief Synopsis

STILL THE NIGHT CALL is about Calem Dewayne Honeycutt, a thirty-two- year-old Missouri dairy farmer of few words. But just because he’s quiet doesn’t mean he’s simple. In fact, Calem’s internal voice eloquently leads us through his wondrous yet tortured past, his fears for the future of his beleaguered rural world, and his carefully laid plans to remedy the vicious Night Call that haunts his present. All he has to do is get through one last day on the farm, then he can free himself of being a straight, white, middle-aged man with nothing in his possession but a gun and a prayer. Through the eyes of Calem, STILL THE NIGHT CALL delves into the quickly diminishing world of Midwestern farmers whose livelihoods have become fodder for politicians and trade wars while their traditional values have become the subject of scorn and culture wars. The result is a struggling working class whose worth has been reduced to mirthless caricatures and economic dust, and who are desperately looking for hope anywhere they might find it.

Hidden Behind the Mist of Arrow Lakes

Hidden Behind the Mist of Arrow Lakes: So Deep Are the Sinister Secrets That Hide in Plain Sight …A Brief Synopsis

Arrow Lakes, British Columbia, Canada – In the remote and picturesque Arrow Lakes region of British Columbia, Canada, a shocking revelation has emerged that unravels the threads of a dark past. Hidden Behind the Mist of Arrow Lakes uncovers the shadowy lives of those who altered their birth or last names by ingeniously tweaking just a letter or two. These individuals, with ties to Nazi families and the regime, managed to live unobtrusively, far from the prying eyes of justice and accountability. The compelling tapestry of connections spans continents and cultures—Russia, England, Germany, and Canada—and unearthed a web of intrigue and deception that traces back to the shadowy days of the Nazi era.

Lucia Mann, a distinguished humanitarian, activist, and prolific author, draws upon her journalism background and firsthand experiences to meticulously document and share these untold stories. By shedding light on the hidden histories of the Nazi era and the individuals who sought refuge in the Arrow Lakes region, Mann ensures that these stories are etched into the collective memory of humanity.

As the mist lifts, the book’s pages reveal a harrowing chronicle of unspeakable atrocities that have long been shrouded in secrecy, serving as a stark reminder of the depths of human malevolence.  The book also serves as a poignant reminder that, even in the face of darkness, the power of storytelling can illuminate the truth and inspire meaningful change. Hidden Behind the Mist of Arrow Lakes is available now and is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of human history and the enduring quest for justice.

First Place: Black, White, and Gray all Over by Frederick Douglass Reynolds

Black, White, and Gray All Over: A Black Man’s Odyssey in Life and Law Enforcement …A Brief Synopsis

This book provides a Unique Look Into the Reality of Racism and policing in America and the trials and triumphs of a Black man dealing with it from both sides.

One of the biggest social issues facing our society today is the relationship between law enforcement and the citizens they commit to protect and serve. There seems to be a greater divide in believing all police officers are inherently evil. Society continues to face these problems in connection with racism, sexism, gender identity, and political differences. Frederick Douglass Reynolds, a former police officer with over 30 years of experience working in Compton, California, and surrounding areas, is shifting the narrative to provide an insider’s look into a Black man’s life through trial, triumph, and life on the force.

Black, White, and Gray All Over; A Black Man’s Odyssey in Life and Law Enforcement is far more than just “cop stories”; it is a looking glass into life in ways that had not been thought of before. Growing up in Detroit in the 1960s and 70s, Frederick set out on a path of destruction, living on the streets, dealing with drugs and gangs, and even ending up in jail. He walks the reader through the early years of his life, and what led him to join law enforcement in the notorious area of Compton. As a Black man who found himself on both sides of the law, Frederick offers a truly unique perspective to offer transparency to readers, showing the intricacies of how society works in different ways for different situations. In his time as a police officer, Frederick saw everything; truly horrendous stories showing the worst part of humanity, as well as redeeming stories that show the resilience of the human spirit.

Regardless of mistakes in his life, Frederick is the perfect example to show how anyone can turn their life around and do some good if they are willing to make that change. No matter what someone’s gender, race, or political views are, any reader will be able to take these life experiences and learn the reality of racism in America through Frederick’s lens.

Through proof of concept, dedication to the craft, and unwavering commitment to inspiring and educating generations to come, Frederick Douglass Reynolds’ purpose-driven vision has come to fruition with the release of this thought-provoking book.
