The book How Authoritarian King Seized America: Judgment Day Is Coming by Michael J. Henderson is a historical fiction novel that envisions a dystopian future where America has fallen under the rule of an authoritarian leader, Don Orangeman. The novel explores themes of racial oppression, economic devastation, and political corruption as the country is transformed into the "Ivory Empire." 
The narrative follows diverse characters—including Black, Latino, Asian, and white Americans—who struggle under a regime that favors the wealthy elite while oppressing marginalized communities. The story highlights the systematic dismantling of democracy, the rise of an economic oligarchy, and the growing resistance movement fighting to reclaim justice and freedom. 
A key antagonist is Elon Mzungu, a shadowy billionaire who manipulates the government from behind the scenes, controlling economic and technological infrastructure to expand his influence worldwide. As the Ivory Empire crumbles under its own corruption, the revolution gains momentum, leading to a climactic battle for the nation's future. 
The book serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action, emphasizing the consequences of unchecked power and the resilience of those who resist oppression. It blends political commentary, historical parallels, and speculative fiction to create a gripping narrative about the fight for democracy and justice in a world on the brink of collapse.

For all time

Lyn Denison

It’s the nineteen sixties. Life was different then. But Tyneholme, the magnificent, historic home of one of Brisbane’s pioneering families, the well-known Chaseleys, endures. Dickie Chaseley, grandson of the first Chaseley to arrive in Australia, is a respected businessman, and his vivacious wife, Vivienne, is a much-loved patron of a large number of charities. 
  
Circumstances have drastically changed young Laura Dawson’s comfortable and sheltered life and she gratefully accepts what she sees as a lifeline, a job working with Viv Chaseley. Laura moves into Tyneholme and into the unbelievably amazing world of the Chaseleys. Working with Viv gives Laura the confidence she knows she lacks, and it brings new meaning to her previously uninspiring life. 
  
She meets Dickie and Viv’s elder son, Richard, and his lovely wife, Sara, and their younger son, the dark and slightly dangerous, Nicolas. Then the Chaseleys’ only daughter arrives home from the UK. Viv had said she was sure her daughter and Laura would become great friends, but nothing could have prepared Laura for her meeting with the poised, worldly, so very attractive Rosemary Chaseley.

Framily - Friends Considered Family

Lou Saulino

"Sports is like war without the killing." "Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. "Ted Turner and President Woodrow Wilson have enlightened us with their innermost thoughts regarding sports and friendship. 
Framily (friends considered family), in similar fashion to the first two books of the trilogy, "8" Center Field in New York, 1951-1957 and Dopey Bastid coalesces sports and friendship in a unique way. 
Three friends since childhood, now adults and all reconnected with their teenage girlfriends and starting families; share the spotlight as the recollection of notable sporting events come to life. Relive accounts of the NCAA tournament with Magic and Bird, the USA Olympic hockey team miracle in 1980, the Mets World Series victory over the Red Sox in 1986, the Giants Super Bowl XXI triumph, and many others as you laugh out loud, perhaps shed a tear and reflect on the true meaning of friendship. 
The Kirkus Review of Framily was highly complementary of the author... "Saulino has developed a smart way of storytelling via weaving his characters plotlines together with contemporary sports events... it's an eye-catching and inventive strategy... this novel will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story about good friends."
