  "Polite-Ticks: Blood-Sucking Policy Seeks Healthy Hosts" 
  In this riotous and tweezer-grabbing political satire, "Polite-Ticks" exposes the parasitic side of modern politics, where politicians and lobbyists act like blood-sucking ticks. They latch onto democracy, slowly draining it dry while hiding behind handshakes and promises. With biting humor and real-world examples, this book uncovers how polite ticks bloat the budget, erode freedoms, and divide society—all while keeping the host (that’s us) blissfully unaware. Packed with hilarious insights, sharp sarcasm, and a civil anarchy plan to take back control, this is your guide to spotting the polite ticks feeding on your future and finally giving them the boot, fire, and flush they deserve!

  How do you continue on with life while grieving something you were never prepared for? 
  One moment, Leslie Harter-Berg had it pretty darn good, and the next, she was a thirty-year-old widow and single mom to two rowdy boys under the age of three. Thrust into the arms of grief, her new life consisted of strange tasks, like notifying AT&T that her husband no longer needed unlimited data and deciding what to do with his grown-man Lego collection while she also planned a memorial and parented solo. 
  This is Leslie Harter-Berg's story, but it could be anyone's. Anyone who has lost a spouse or experienced another kind of grief--when life doesn't go as planned, but it keeps right on truckin' without waiting for you to catch your breath. 
  But Leslie's learned a thing or two since her husband's sudden death in 2019. Throughout her poignant and funny attempts to "do grief right," she came to accept that no one was grading her on her grief and that surviving is often a lot more profound and beautiful than thriving. 
  In this poignant, humorous, slightly irreverent yet totally relatable memoir-meets-grief-guide, Leslie will help you:Let go of the need to find a silver lining or a greater purpose in your griefValidate the odd, mundane, and very real things that happen after the death of a loved one or another traumatic life eventRedefine the stages of grief--and do the best living you can musterEmbrace the beautiful tension of conflicting emotions as you accept a life you never expected to liveKnow that life can still be amazing as you move forward and find hope again 
    
  You can be simultaneously splitting your gut laughing while carrying a constant ache of sadness in that very same gut. You can look forward to a future with someone while also resenting that a future has stopped being with another. And you can move through life after loss by relinquishing the need to "be so strong" and allowing yourself to fall apart--so you can find that God is right there, grieving alongside you.

  An island off the coast of Maine in the late 1940s 
  For Liam Dwyer, collegian and would-be poet (or at least really deep intellectual thinker), the Forsythe’s summer-long house party had charming possibilities.  At its best it might turn out as a simple little love story, with himself and the enchanting Laura as principals.  Only, nothing was ever simple with Laura. Nothing. And when he was near her, his own actions and reactions were sometimes a surprise as well:  
  He could feel Laura’s warmth through her thin dress, pressing against his side as they sat together on the pier. 
  “I . . .” he said. 
  She turned to him, batting her lashes. “Yes, Liam?” 
  Liam was beginning to sweat along the top of the lip.  He looked into Laura’s blue eyes.  And then it hit him, all of a sudden.  It hit him like a ton of bricks.  It was almost impossible to believe but it was true: Under her clothing, Laura was was wearing absolutely nothing — she was totally nude.   Nude!   He was sitting only a few inches away from a lovely nude girl.   
  “Grk,”  he said.
