    The Puppet Master (Brooks/Lotello Thriller Series) What would YOU do if they took everything you had, your family, your home, your business, your dignity, even—perhaps—your sanity?

    Ronald S. Barak’s latest, The Puppet Master, is a gripping story of a political system gone awry—and those who feel compelled to fix it. “Have you ever killed anyone? I have. I’ll do it again. If I need to.” Three prominent political leaders in Washington, D.C., murdered in as many days.

    Not a plausible story premise? What about the real world villain who recently mailed a series of pipe bombs to a number of prominent political figures? Ripped from the headlines? Barak gives new meaning to the word "timely." The Puppet Master isn’t ripped from the headlines; written first, it forecast the headlines that followed!

    Unprocessed: My City-Dwelling Year of Reclaiming Real Food In January of 2012, Megan Kimble was a twenty-six-year-old living in a small apartment without even a garden plot to her name. But she cared about where food came from, how it was made, and what it did to her body: so she decided to go an entire year without eating processed foods.

    Backed by extensive research and wide-ranging interviews—and including tips on how to ditch processed food and transition to a real-food lifestyle—Unprocessed offers provocative insights not only on the process of food, but also the processes that shape our habits, communities, and day-to-day lives.
