The Auction of Pierced Nostalgia by Sarah Mouffok is like a 50ish page short story that is definitely worth reading. It’s a wild, exciting ride into a future world where elites suck happy memories from the “have nots” who sell them for things they desperately need, while elites live in a pain free utopia created on the backs of those they dominate.  

In this story when a memory is sold or removed, it is replaced by a temporary place holding filler. However in this instance the doctor performing the procedure knows this is not your usual garden variety filler, and it leads to a chase that will leave you breathless. I would definitely read anything else this author creates!  

Run, do not walk, to get this in your favorite reading mode. If you love science fiction type stories, and even if you usually don’t, I can’t imagine anyone not being fully entertained by this storyline!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

A Plot to Capture the American Zeitgeist

Amazon’s book blurb for The Everglades by Louis Berry says this about it, “…a chilling saga unfolds where the pristine wilderness of Florida’s Everglades masks a sinister legacy of evil. In 1945, two Nazi war criminals, General Reinhard Hochstuhl and Colonel Wilhelm Von Unterscheisse , infiltrate 1945 Miami via a covert U-boat landing, seeding a multi-generational plot to subvert American society.” Berry writes, “No one in Miami was aware of the German U-Boat five hundred yards offshore; south of Flamingo Point . The ship operated within rat-lines moving high-valued Nazis to safety across the globe…Orders were to assimilate. Approach was to erode each generation’s connection to God. Free of dogmatic German machinery, lies became subtle; directed at influencing beliefs Americans held dear. Eliminating God from the collective consciousness was best accomplished across generations. The men knew they must find wives sympathetic to the Fatherland’s cause of world dom...

A Powerful, Unforgettable Memoir

Men We Reaped by Jesmyn Ward is a very powerful memoir. She called it the hardest thing she’d ever written. It’s not a book you read, and then a few weeks later, can barely remember what it was about. The American Dream was hard won by many amidst the racism rampant in every state and institution, while others’ dreams were crushed by their sheer struggle to survive in a world where opportunity didn’t come easily, depending on the color of your skin. Jesmyn Ward and her siblings were raised in Mississippi during the 70s and 80s. Few who never saw a drinking fountain or bathroom labeled “colored” can understand there was a time when the income tax rules were the same for all races, the military cemeteries were filled with all races, but the benefits derived from freedom and tax revenues were not allocated equally because racism existed. The expression separate but equal, was, in reality, separate and unequal. It was a social crucible that burned hot, and those who came through it to reac...

A Book that Proves Truth is Stranger than Fiction!

If Upton Sinclair’s purpose in writing his exposé of the meat packing industry was to “set forth the breaking of human hearts by a system which exploits the labor of men and women for profit,” No More Tears, Gardiner Harris’ staggering revelatory book, shines a bright light on Big Pharma, focusing on Johnson & Johnson’s and their competitors’ hunger for industry dominance, power, and profits with barely an afterthought for the health and lives of men, women, children, and the elderly who were prescribed their products, and if the almost unbelievable story doesn’t just break readers’ hearts, it will ensure skepticism for feckless government regulatory agencies and their problematic revolving door of appointments with those they have been charged with regulating.   Reading No More Tears may well create outrage at the legacy of powerful “careless people” that makes this F. Scott Fitzgerald Gatsby passage shimmer with the shared theme of zero accountability: “They were careless peo...
