Democracy is under attack, militant extremist groups unleash chaos upon the American people, and conspiracy theories are mistaken for reality. Sound familiar? Here’s a political thriller that mirrors today’s headlines but still manages to deliver an escape from reality.

Meet Doris Machado, a recently widowed nurse living in New York City called to action as a first responder in the aftermath of a massive terrorist attack. She stumbles onto a secret and finds herself in over her head and uncertain of whom she can trust. Yet she realizes she must risk her life by embarking on a daring cross-country run, evading the very government agencies that should be protecting her.

In a race against time, Doris, the First Lady, and the First Family put their lives on the line as they search for the truth. Purchase at https://bit.ly/44ljHqO.

The Capital of the SuperficialThe Capital of the Superficial by Julia Firley

Nothing is as it seems. Illusion is their means, and façade is their power.

 This is a story of how a small, impoverished country was transformed almost overnight into a rich, powerful welfare state controlled by a few shrewd families. We see what happened to the people who found themselves wealthy all of a sudden. We also see how foreigners flocked from all corners of the world to work hard there, or to exploit others.

How a system was created to serve the few at the expense of the many. How a society was brainwashed into accepting a thinly veiled caste system and a Big Brother system. How the small country amassed power and influence over superpowers. How they used their money and realpolitik to interfere in other countries. How the façade became the strength and lies supersede truth. Purchase at https://amzn.to/4451opO.
