A Hat Rack in a Snake Farm
Summary
In real life, no one tells you what is happening. You pick “the truth” up by combining tidbits of information, gossip, newspaper fillers, rumor, confidential memos, telephone messages, fake news and maybe-fake-news-but-who-knows. A Hat Rack in a Snake Farm is written as a collection of the above which, together, reveal the story. This is an on-the-ground look at what happens when there are millions of public dollars "for the taking" and the corporate hyenas gather. It’s a tale of ongoing fraud, deceit, duplicity, doublespeak, treachery, and trickery which is pretty much the way it really is.

Beating Banks at Their Own Game
Summary
As you are reading this, banks are giving away millions of your dollars in gift mortgages. The banks are borrowing money from the federal government for mortgages, claiming the loans have "gone bad", and then giving the title of the property to deserving individuals. There is no federal check on these "bad loans", so the mortgages are free and clear - and tax-free. A Writ of Mandamus filed by the author in August of 2017 may end this practice. Beating Banks at Their Own Game is a fictional approach to explaining how the process works. The appendix includes a collection of nonfiction documents sent by the author to the FBI, SEC, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Federal Housing Finance Administration to stop the practice of gift mortgages. Beating Banks at Their Own Game is the saga of five people who use occupational and real-life experience in banking and real estate to seize control of more than 120 lots in a six-block area in Las Vegas using money that does not exist. They slide the land titles into a shell corporation and then sell out to a development corporation for 75 percent of book value. By selling below market value, they know the sale will go quickly and quietly. But can they get the land and sell it before their scam is uncovered by greedy competitors, who want in on the action, state banking auditors, the IRS and the SEC.

Dead Men Do Come Back
Summary
A riveting historical thriller set in 1910 during the Alaska Gold Rush. Why would someone kill a miner, freeze his body solid on a glacier, and then drop it alongside the Juneau wharf, the one place where United States Marshal Gordon Whitford would be sure to find it? Does it have anything to do with the 250 pounds of gold that have just been extracted from the Alaska Gastineau Mine? And how were both the frozen body and the gold able to disappear off a steamship that made no stops between Juneau and Seattle? Now, there is another shipment of 250 pounds of gold bound for Seattle - along with the miner's frozen body that has been recovered - again - floating just south of Juneau. Will Marshal Whitford be able to solve the murder and the robbery before the next shipment of gold vanishes into thin air?

The Wilmington Insurrection of 1898
Summary
You are about to learn the ins and outs of the only coup d ’état to ever been attempted on American soil, the Wilmington insurrection of 1898, and the rise of white supremacy! In the morning of November 10, 1898, in Wilmington, North Carolina, a fire broke out, and it was the beginning of an assault that took place about 10 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean, east of Cape Fear River. In all the gruesome moments in United States history, none was like this gruesome attack. It was the only coup d'état ever to happen on American soil. By dawn, Manly's newspaper had been torched, and as many as 60 were murdered. The local government that was elected two days prior had been overthrown, and white supremacists had taken over. It seemed like a scene straight out of Hollywood. For decades, what happened that day was nearly lost. The Black victims were wrongly described as instigators, and it took nearly a century for the truth to come out. Up to date, conservatives of North Carolina don't talk about the Wilmington massacre, also known as the Wilmington Insurrection or the Wilmington Coup of 1898. But this audiobook is about to uncover that! Today, this audiobook is giving you the chance to learn and have a first-hand account of what really happened during that period. If you have questions like: What really caused the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898? What happened during that period? Who was involved? Why did they do it? How did it come to an end? ...And many others, this audiobook seeks to answer them all using simple straightforward language.

The War Hero's Welcome
Summary
The war hero returns home with his dog, Wicked. Both have been injured. Their welcome should be pretty straightforward, but not everyone likes a war hero. Maybe Kelly’s son, Cash, should have stayed in Afghanistan. At least there he knew who the enemy was! All Kelly and Mike want to do is help Cash recuperate from his injuries. They never planned on becoming involved with a kidnapping. Good to have guard dogs when you need them. This is the 18th book in the best-selling Cedar May Cozy Mystery series by two-time USA Today best-selling author Dianne Harman.
