  Today, Tipperary-born priest Patrick Ryan cuts a modest but strong figure, to the layperson. A man of God who has been entrusted with the confessions of hundreds of earnest parishioners. But in fact his story is dark, dramatic, and pivotal to Irish history, on both sides of the border. 
   
  In The Padre, award-winning investigative journalist Jennifer O’Leary exposes the paramilitary exploits of notorious former Catholic priest and active IRA supporter Patrick Ryan – exposing details which have, outside of his very guarded circles, been unknown until now. 
   
  Drawing on highly sensitive information, divulged by Ryan during exclusive secret meetings with the author, The Padre lifts the lid on the true extent of the priest’s involvement with the IRA: from being the link between the organisation and the Gaddafi regime, to Ryan’s connection to the failed assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. 
   
  The Padre tells the truly remarkably story of this man of the cloth, and his lifelong struggle with what he, in his heart, believes to be right and wrong.

  "To understand the most disruptive economic ideas of the 21st century, you must first understand the man behind them. This compelling biography provides the essential human story behind the intellectual firebrand who has challenged a global orthodoxy."
  Neil Wilson, Gower Initiative for Modern Money Studies, UK.
  
  "Warren Mosler is the most impressive economic thinker of the last 50 years. His ability to think clearly and isolate the signal from the noise is unmatched. Hopefully, his ideas will guide our societies in the 21st century."
  Dirk Ehnts, Speaker of the Board, Pufendorf Gesellschaft for Political Economy, Berlin.
  
  "Warren Mosler can be described as a 'renaissance man'. He is driven not only by intellectual curiosity and an enthusiasm for exploring many dimensions of life but primarily by a thirst for change and a desire to support people with generosity and commitment. This book will allow broader audiences to gain an understanding of his groundbreaking insights including and beyond his economic wisdom."
  Daniel Kostzer, Chief Economist of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC-CSI), Brussels.
  
  "I'm proud to count Warren Mosler as a friend and congratulate Phil Armstrong on bringing to a large audience this account of his life, his wildly diverse talents, and his many contributions to clarifying the economics of money."

  Formula One has long maintained a glitzy aura that masks dark and strange goings-on in the background. But with the 2019 season came a force louder than Formula One could dream of muffling: William Storey, the founder of British energy drink startup Rich Energy. 
   
   
   
  Storey became a multimillion-dollar sponsor of the Haas Formula One team a year after records showed Rich Energy having a mere $770 in the bank. He equated his doubters to moon-landing truthers and publicly mocked both the Haas team and the entities winning legal disputes against him. But where were actual cans of Rich Energy, and did the supposed sponsorship funds exist? 
   
   
   
  In the six months between Storey's first race as a Formula One sponsor and his very public exit, he stole the spotlight with a loud mouth and an active Twitter account. Haas team boss Guenther Steiner once described the Rich Energy news cycle as: "I'm getting sick of answering these stupid fucking questions on a race weekend. I've never seen any fucking thing like this." No one else had, either. This book uncovers the complete, bizarre story.

  Help! I'm Raising Mom? - Tender...

  What do you do when you need help or have questions about raising a child? You could talk to another parent, find a book on the subject, or search the Internet, with the hope of finding helpful information. But what do you do when the "child" is your parent? 
  I am talking about raising a parent with dementia. Your own parent is slowly reverting back to childhood but remaining in a fully aged body. It's a whole new endeavor, taking full responsibility for someone who once raised you. 
  Many years ago, I had to place my mom in 24-hour assisted living care. She no longer recognized her surroundings. If she left her home, she could not find her way back. She could no longer remember to take her medications properly. She had even forgotten her own children. It was a very painful time in my life. Witnessing my mother losing her memories broke my heart. I began to journal through the pain. The blank page was a good place for my fears and frustrations. While I was writing not only did I sense a need to vent my emotions, but I began recognizing how many other people must be going through this same journey, and how painful it must be for them. 
  So here we are. I am hoping and praying that the words you are about to read will somehow brighten your day, warm your heart, and help you feel a little less alone in your journey of raising a parent with dementia. 
  What brings me to these pages of stories is that I continued to be taught about life by my mother. As she changed from the mother that I knew growing up, through the years of watching her slowly lose her memory while her body stayed strong, she still had lessons for me to learn. 
  My desire is to share those insights with you. I hope they will be a comfort.
