Mirrors of Life Part 2 by Neal Owens

Mirrors of Life Part 2 by Neal Owens

This sequel to the award-winning debut novel is set in today's political climate. Derrick learns political strength is needed to ensure the sustainability of his civic-minded conglomerate, and prevent the blockage of future projects that threatens to supplant the business powers that be in America.

Erich Hornsby, the Neo-Nazi chairman of the business powers, plots Derrick's murder and manipulates the voters to elect his puppet, John Donaldson, president. In full control of the White House, Hornsby attempts to raise the Fourth Reich.

I found the book gave me so many points to ponder. The storyline is set in a quasi-fictional America. You don't need to read book one to enjoy this one. To be honest, we have lived in this scenario for the last four years.

Lyrics for Rock Stars by Heather Mateus Sappenfield | Spotlight

"Lyrics for Rock Stars" is a collection of seventeen stories―some historical, some contemporary—all set in the West. Involving skiers, ranchers, cyclists, suffragettes, tourists, super models, dead pigs, burro racers, religious beet farmers, immigrant miners, scorned lovers, penitent centenarians, and musicians, these stories are as varied as the region's landscape. Funny, poignant, and resonant, each tale explores how society's values clash with our individual desires, and the ways we weave our lives through these opposing forces.
