Why are there so many divisions America? What can we do to fix these divisions?

FRACTURED AMERICA discusses these many divisions and how to fix them. It begins by looking at the first racial divides going back to Civil War times, then fast forwards to discuss present conflicts, such as the controversy over the killings of blacks by cops and the Black Lives Matter movement.

The book points out divides based on:

• Geography and politics, including nationality and language divides caused by undocumented immigrants
• The North-South divide,
• The division between the Coasts and Middle America,
• Rural and urban American differences,
• Conflicts between different ethnic groups,
• Lifestyles of younger and older generations.
• The widening income inequality between the rich and poor,

Why is there so much uncertainty about how to reduce crime and fix what’s wrong with the criminal justice system?  How can we make these fixes and lower the high costs of incarceration?

UNCERTAIN JUSTICE discusses recent problems and suggests some fixes.

• Improving citizen-police relationships
• Promoting prison reform and better prison sentencing
• Healing the divisions in American society
• Dealing with illegal immigration
• Coping with the opioid crisis
• Portraying the criminal justice crisis in popular culture
• Using a social media and video campaign 

Today, these fixes are needed more than ever, given the spiraling costs of crime and imprisoning too many prisoners for much longer than necessary.

The Big Con is about the accidental discovery of a scam and its victims.

The scammers created an elaborate fraud, in which authors were duped into believing a company could pitch their projects to executives at top film companies.

As a result, the victims would pay more and more to write the material needed to make a pitch. But the company used impostor executives at real companies, so their pitches went nowhere.

The book describes the investigation that revealed the scam and introduces ten victims and discusses the many scams targeting writers and self-publishers today.
