  On the night of August 6, 1930, Joseph Force Crater, a newly appointed judge and prominent figure in many circles of Manhattan, hailed a taxi in the heart of Broadway and vanished into thin air. Despite a decades-long international manhunt led by the New York Police Department's esteemed Missing Persons Bureau, the reason for Crater's disappearance remains a confounding mystery. In the early months of the investigation, evidence implicated and imperiled New York's top officials, including then-Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor Jimmy Walker, as well as the city's Tammany Hall political machine, lawyers and judges, and a theater mogul. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on new sources, including NYPD case files and court records, and overlooked evidence discovered years later, Riegel pieces together the puzzle of what likely happened to Joseph Crater and why. To uncover the mystery, he delves into Crater's ascension into the scintillating and corrupt world of Manhattan in the Roaring Twenties and Jazz Age. In turn, the story of the judge's vanishing amid the Great Depression unfolds as a harbinger of the disappearance of his lost metropolis and its transformation into modern-day New York City.

  Sovereign Frequency is not a theory. It is a system for reclaiming authority over your emotional state, your decisions, and the trajectory of your life. 
  In a world saturated with noise, reaction, and constant psychological pressure, most people unknowingly operate on borrowed signals—other people's expectations, fears, and narratives. Over time, this disconnect creates anxiety, financial confusion, leadership instability, and a loss of personal clarity. 
  Sovereign Frequency introduces a different approach. 
  Through a practical framework rooted in emotional regulation, behavioral awareness, and disciplined decision-making, A. J. Moore presents a method for recalibrating how individuals interpret events, manage internal states, and produce consistent outcomes in their personal and professional lives. 
  Listeners will discover how to: 
  • Regulate emotional responses under pressure 
  • Reinterpret challenges through disciplined meaning-making 
  • Build financial clarity by aligning behavior with intention 
  • Lead others through calm, structure, and accountability 
  • Develop a personal operating frequency that produces stability rather than chaos 
  Rather than chasing motivation or temporary inspiration, Sovereign Frequency teaches listeners how to cultivate internal alignment that naturally generates progress. 
  When emotional mastery, financial clarity, and conscious leadership operate together, a powerful shift occurs. 
  You stop reacting to the world. 
  You begin shaping it.

  Iron Legacy - Childhood Trauma...

  Donna Bevan-Lee had a tough childhood. When her father was feeling playful, he roped her by the foot like a rodeo calf, yanking her to the ground every time the rope connected. In darker moods, he did far worse, his brutality excused by a complicit church. The abuse she suffered had profound and lasting consequences. 
  Too many adults have similar histories. Roughly a quarter of American children experience complex trauma resulting from abuse, neglect, catastrophic illness, or other adversity. Because such trauma affects the developing brain, it's not something we outgrow; it permanently alters our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behavior, often without our awareness. It derails our plans, sabotages our relationships, and convinces us that we're unworthy of happiness. It makes us vulnerable to addiction, obesity. depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and early death. It is a challenge like no other. 
  Dr. Bevan-Lee met the challenge of her childhood and helped other survivors to meet theirs. Now she has distilled her history. cutting-edge research, and four decades of clinical experience into a book for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Full of up-to-date information, practical help, compelling stories, and clear-eyed encouragement, this book is a comprehensive guide to recognizing and overcoming childhood trauma, written by someone who has been there.
