Fixing the Fates - An Adoptee's...

Diane Dewey

The secrets, lies, and layers of deception about Diane Dewey’s origins were meant for her protection—but eventually, they imploded. Living with her family in suburban Philadelphia, Diane had grown up knowing she was born in Stuttgart and adopted at age one from an orphanage. She’d been told her biological parents were dead. Then, in 2002, when she was forty-seven years old, Diane got a letter from Switzerland: her biological father, Otto, wanted to bring her into his life. With that, her world shifted on its axis. 
In the months that ensued, everybody had a different story to tell about Diane’s origins, including Otto when they met in New York City. She struggled to understand what was at stake with the lies. Like a private eye, she sifted through competing versions of the truth only to find that, having traveled throughout Europe and back, identity is a state of mind. As more information surfaced, the myths gave way to a certain elusive peace; Diane discovered a tribe in her mother’s family, found a Swiss husband, gained a voice, and, for the first time, began to trust in the intuition that had nudged her all along. One-part forensic investigation, one-part self-discovery, Fixing the Fates  is a story about seeing behind artifice and living one’s truth.

Shakey's Madness

Robert P Boog

Want to discover why William Shakespeare did NOT write the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to him? Using the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic to doublecheck what past experts have told us about William Shakespeare, author Robert Boog uses a fresh set of eyes to view the facts. Because of all the fainting found in the poems and plays, Mr. Boog believes that the "real" author of the works probably suffered from epilepsy at a young age. Boog counted nine instances of fainting, but a British physician in 2006 counted 18 episodes of fainting with another 13 instances of "near" fainting. Why so much fainting? Did fainting morph into bipolar disorder when he was older? Boog claims BD symptoms can be found in the works while the man from Stratford never did. For this reason, a person close to Queen Elizabeth who showed symptoms of bipolar disorder and was called "the best playwright for comedy in Queen Elizabeth's court" makes the best choice for author. Also, back in Elizabethan days, the Queen or King could behead anyone who "imagined the death of a ruler" so why would ANYONE in their right mind, write a play about the death of a ruler? Yet Hamlet, Anthony & Cleopatra and Richard II, all feature rulers who die. So writing under a pen name makes sense - esp in these days of fake Twitter handles and online cat-fishing.Mr. Boog suggests we approach the mystery of William Shakespeare's authorship like a modern-day "cold case" mystery. So, get ready to have fun listening and learning about a compelling case for the true authorship of the Shakespeare canon? A fun and informative audio book that includes humorous stories. It is read by the author from Los Angeles who has a wicked sense of humor."
