Dodger The: DJ Carey and the...

Eimear Ní Bhraonáin

There was a time when DJ Carey didn’t need a surname. The star player of a Kilkenny hurling team that dominated the sport for a decade, he had a rare, natural talent that led his county to five All Ireland titles and won him nine All Stars. DJ wasn’t just a hero on the pitch - his easy charm, generosity, and readiness to meet young fans made him a national treasure. 
 
Throughout his meteoric rise, strange rumours followed him. In 2003, shocking claims that DJ was dying of cancer swept the country. Who would spread such a story about one of Ireland’s most beloved sporting legends? And what could possibly be gained from it? 
 
Two decades later, the truth emerged. DJ Carey was arrested and charged with deception and forgery - accused of faking cancer to con money from those who trusted him most. For years, he had been telling the same lie to generous supporters who believed they were funding life-saving treatment in the U.S. 
 
In this riveting exposé, Eimear Ní Bhraonáin uncovers the extraordinary fall from grace of a national icon, and how he betrayed the fans that once loved him.

Blood in the Water - The Untold...

Casey Sherman

"Blood in the Water is a twisty true crime narrative of greed, suspicion, and revenge, taking us from the high seas to the mansion of an enormously wealthy family. Compelling and cinematic, it keeps you guessing about the complicated family at the heart of this saga until the very last page."—Shawn Cohen, New York Times bestselling author of College Girl, Missing 
  
Troubled waters hide deadly secrets … 
  
When Nathan Carman, a young man with a complicated past, is miraculously rescued from a lifeboat bobbing in the unforgiving North Atlantic, questions swirl about the fate of his mother, who is presumed to have drowned when their fishing boat sank. Nathan is in remarkably good shape for being lost at sea for a week, and his account of what exactly happened out there on the waves raises questions from family members and law enforcement. 
  
Nathan's story of a fishing trip gone awry doesn't quite add up, and suspicion mounts. The mysterious murder of Nathan's multi-millionaire grandfather a few years before had made Nathan's mother an extremely wealthy woman. With a seven-million-dollar fortune at stake, did Nathan commit the ultimate betrayal? Or is there more to this tragic tale than meets the eye? 
  
From New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman comes a gripping contemporary true crime narrative for everyone who was fascinated by the Murdaugh murders, and for anyone compelled by the intersection between money, power, and family.

The One By One Documentaries

Gregory Kemmis

This story is true and remains dedicated to impacting the needs and lives of individuals in society: all the topics are real, whereas it's main purpose is to raise awareness of ongoing issues, yet present encouraging messages.
Inspired by the life, work and values of Artist/Composer, Producer, Leader & Friend: Gregory Kemmis.
This is the first literary work written by Gregory W. Kemmis, an acclaimed artist.
He specializes in media production, and his previous experiences include a plethora of original works and performances within the music industry. During the most recent decade to date, he rapidly grew within his career, expanding his knowledge and applied skills to include creating independent documentaries or episodic series.
Intentionally covering on some of the most pressing issues, to educate and spark awareness about experience, adaptation and controversial topics still at large presently, Kemmis has taken this goal to another level when considering the writings contained within "The One By One Documentaries."
It should also be noted that this literary work is a collection of what once was an episodic series made for television broadcasts but was never actually distributed to the public. Although this remains the case regarding the television series, Kemmis has changed direction to avail the opportunity to publish this series in book form.
It was critical to him that the events contained within "The One By One Documentaries" be heard and spoken to worldwide readers as generations continue to adapt to life and culture. He composes this book as the first of what should remain important compilations towards sufficiently leading a way towards past silencing rights to express ourselves.
