  In a world crumbling under the weight of madness, where fear and propaganda have replaced decency and truth, how does anyone navigate a path ahead? 
  It's been seven tumultuous months since Hitler’s rise to power, and Germany has succumbed to the chilling grip of Nazification. As a renowned radio personality and brash advocate for the regime, Friedrich Foxx has played his part in fueling the flames of German rebirth. 
  But when Friedrich encounters Ilse, a captivating fanatic half his age, he is confronted by the haunting repercussions of his words and is soon forced to make the most consequential decision of his life: continue to support the madness of the fascist dictatorship or risk everything to take a stand against it? 
  In an urgent clarion call that reverberates through our own troubled times, author Adam S. Toporek resurrects the specters of our media's dark past. With unflinching honesty, he exposes the compromises that feed the insidious spread of tyranny, while unveiling the harrowing outcomes that propaganda and disinformation can unleash. 
  Prepare to be captivated by this terse, gripping tale of a man’s soul-searching struggle in the face of tyranny—a tale that lays bare the power of words, the fragility of truth, and the indomitable human spirit.

  The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
  Book 3 of 7  Elizabeth Device 
  The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
  Elizabeth Device, a struggling widow in 1600s Lancashire, fought to protect her family after her daughter Alizon was accused of cursing a peddler. As whispers of witchcraft grew, Elizabeth's world collapsed—her mother, Old Demdike, died in prison, and her son James spoke recklessly of spirits. A family gathering at Malkin Tower was twisted into tales of a witches' sabbath by fearful neighbors. The final blow came when Elizabeth's nine-year-old daughter Jennet, likely coerced, testified against her in court, describing imaginary familiars and curses. Despite a spectral dog's offer of freedom in exchange for Jennet's life, Elizabeth refused to betray her child, even as the noose tightened around her neck. On August 20, 1612, she was hanged at Lancaster Castle, her dying words a curse not on Jennet, but on the injustice that turned daughter against mother. Her story endures as a haunting reminder of the Pendle witch trials' cruellest betrayal.  
  This is the third book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you "enjoy" ,might not be the appropriate word, this third instalment, and it's only $3 dollars. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2  minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!  
  The story itself runs to about 14 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice. 
  I do hope you and enjoy this audiobook , there are a lot more to come!

  Justine Holmes is a widow, former activist, and funeral thief, mourning her husband's death during the aftermath of the Ferguson unrest in St. Louis, Missouri. As family tensions deepen between Justine and her three grown children - a former Bay Area activist at odds with her hometown's customs, a social climbing realtor stifled by the loss of her only child, and a disillusioned politician struggling with his sexual identity, the matriarch is forced to face her grief head-on. By reconciling a past tied to her secret involvement in civil rights activism during the early 1970's in St. Louis, Justine quickly learns the more she attempts to make peace with her history, the more skeletons continue to rise to the surface.  
  Set in a struggling suburb of North St. Louis during the Ferguson unrest in 2014, Bone Broth delivers the touchstones of an inequitable society: violence, suppression, and the human capacity to continue in the face of extreme adversity.
