Bellfield Confesses: Episode 1

“Deliciously vicious and unsettlingly hilarious, Cruelty Free is a nasty, thrilling Hollywood take-down for the ages.” —JENNIFER THORNE, author of DiavolaA disgraced movie star returns to Hollywood 10 years after the kidnapping of her young daughter intent on seeking revenge, for fans of Monika Kim and Rachel Yoder.NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN REVENGE.Ten years ago, Lila Devlin was an A-list actress with a movie star husband and a beautiful baby girl, Josie. When Josie was kidnapped out of her home and never seen again, Lila’s previously pristine public image twisted into that of an Unfit Mother. Driven mad by the hungry press, incompetent cops, and relentless true crime–obsessed “fans,” she disappeared into anonymity.&nbsp;Now, Lila Devlin returns to LA with a grand vision for a radical new skincare brand to reinvent herself and honor Josie’s legacy. She's prepared to move into the next chapter of her life with forgiveness in her heart, when an encounter with a parasitic blogger ends with him dead. Lila suddenly discovers forgiveness isn’t nearly as satisfying as a body hitting the floor.With the help of her devoted publicist Sylvie, Lila begins a relentless, blood-soaked hunt through LA. Giving her skincare the edge it needs, they introduce a secret ingredient—revenge-sourced—from the bodies piling up. But as the company’s success skyrockets and Lila begins unraveling the truth behind her daughter’s kidnapping, her murderous side hustle threatens the life she’s painstakingly rebuilt.Both a striking portrayal of grief and womanhood, and a twisting, cynical satire on celebrity and toxic beauty standards,&nbsp;Cruelty Free&nbsp;is an ambitious debut from a talented star on the rise.&nbsp;“Wildly twisted, razor-sharp, and ultimately heartbreaking, Cruelty Free is as much a novel about the fullness of grief as it is about the hollowness of vengeance." —LING LING HUANG, author of Natural Beauty

The Shadow Carver

For readers seeking solutions to finally end the gun violence that kills tens of thousands of people each year in the United States— from a Harvard-trained trauma surgeon treating victims in Chicago If hope for ending gun violence can take hold in Chicago’s South Side, then it can take hold anywhere. The impoverished neighborhoods there are among the most dangerous in all of America—a nation in which injuries from firearms are the top reason why children die. In 2018, after decades of treating patients in inner cities that have suffered from decades of disinvestment and institutional racism, Dr. Selwyn Rogers founded a trauma center in the battleground known by many as "Chiraq." He has treated thousands of people suffering from gunshot wounds. He’s told loved ones that they lost a child, a father, a dear friend. And he’s initiated change in the community, talking to those in the middle of what can feel like endless bloodshed. Healing the Gun Violence Epidemic shares the stories of the victims Dr. Rogers has met in his work, and the lessons he’s taken from bearing witness to so much trauma. The book traces the origins of gun violence in the South Side—including decades of generational poverty bred from too little aid—and compares the lives of the young people he treats to his’ own path: from humble beginnings to using his Ivy League education to aid others and, he hopes, to end the cycles that have kept countless people trapped in never-ending agony. In the end, Dr. Rogers shares his insights into what policies have failed and which solutions have succeeded—making him believe that the devastation and trauma can end—not just in Chicago, but across the United States.

Ending Violence, Rebuilding Communities, and a Trauma Surgeon's Vision for Restoring Hope

Paper Cut

The Veil Is Down. The Danger Is Real.

The worlds of the supernatural and spiritual are being exploited by a festering criminal underworld, weaponizing faith and abusing trust. The FrandsenFiles Criminal Dossier is an investigative registry-an official expansion of the Bald and Bonkers Blacklist-designed to expose and document criminal behaviors flourishing within the paranormal, New Age, and spiritual communities.

Inside, you will find 19 documented case files spanning international locations like the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada, as well as various US states like Idaho, Montana, and Texas. These cases detail a chilling spectrum of crimes, including:Child abuse and sexual abuse of minors.
Attempted murder of a child.
Sexual assault on a pregnant woman.
Confirmed threats of domestic terrorism against convention guests.
Cult manipulation, child pornography production and distribution, and bodily mutilation using Neo-Nazi and Satanic symbolism to enforce loyalty.
Misuse of AI programs for deepfake porn, voice cloning, and financial scams.
Predatory behavior by a former National Guardsman serving a likely lifetime sentence for assaulting his own daughter, and a former police officer luring women under the guise of "psychic training".


The Dossier utilizes a five-tier classification system to assess the risk of each subject, providing immediate, actionable awareness:Level 5 (Critical Threat): Confirmed, highly dangerous subjects involved in cults, child pornography, and malicious AI misuse, requiring immediate law enforcement coordination.
Level 4 (High Threat): Subjects who have committed serious crimes resulting in harm to vulnerable persons (children, animals, elderly) with a high probability of re-offending.
Level 3 (Confirmed Offender): Documented history of harmful, abusive, or exploitative behavior, such as statutory rape and domestic violence.
Level 2 (Elevated Concern): Minor criminal activity or consistent behavioral red flags, including fraud, cyberstalking, and physical assault.
Level 1 (Observational Risk): Individuals exhibiting indicators of malicious intent, warranting monitoring for escalation.


The primary objectives are Awareness &amp; Protection. By providing a structured, encrypted registry to the public (while sharing the full codex with authorized law enforcement), the Dossier serves as a critical resource for identifying repeat offenders, encouraging vigilance, and acting as a deterrent against those who exploit profound trust.

For anyone engaging in the spiritual, New Age, or paranormal realms, this document is an essential tool for survival. The fight for accountability starts now.

FrandsenFiles Criminal Dossier

2025 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PUBLISHERS PROSE AWARDS WINNER: EUROPEAN HISTORY In June 1609, two judges left Bordeaux for a territory at the very edge of their jurisdiction, a Basque-speaking province on the Atlantic coast called the Pays de Labourd. In four months, they executed up to 80 women and men for the crime of witchcraft, causing a wave of suspects to flee into Spain and sparking terror there. Witnesses, many of them children, described lurid tales of cannibalism, vampirism, and demonic sex. One of the judges, Pierre de Lancre, published a sensationalist account of this diabolical netherworld. With other accounts seemingly destroyed, this witch-hunt - France's largest - has always been seen through de Lancre's eyes. The narrative, re-told over the centuries, is that of a witch-hunt caused by a bigoted outsider. Newly discovered evidence paints a very different, still darker picture, revealing a secret history underneath de Lancre's well-known tale. Far from an outside imposition, witchcraft was a home-grown problem. Panic had been building up over a number of years and the region was fractured by factionalism and a struggle over scarce resources. The Basque Witch-Hunt reveals that de Lancre was no outsider; he was a local partisan, married into the Basque nobility. Living at the Franco-Spanish border, the Basques were victims of geography. Geo-politics caused a local conflict which made the witch-hunt inevitable. The same forces eventually sent thousands of religious refugees from Spain to France where they, in turn, became new objects of popular fear and anger. The Basque witch-hunt is justly infamous. This book shows that almost everything historians thought they knew about it is wrong.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

Good Girl, Bad Blood

'A brilliant and challenging book' GORDON BROWNFrom the founder of Britain's leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies - and how to go about it.If you're shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you're not alone.Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain - with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK - has been far from immune from far-right politics.From HOPE not hate's pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the 'manosphere' and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of 'race science' and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain's deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism.His conclusions - which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners - suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples - from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford - of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate.

Lessons from Hope Not Hate

Those Who Kill

"If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again"Groucho Marx
In this entertaining collection of true stories from the past you will read about several murderers, one who killed in a blind rage, one who was honest, one who thought he was Billy the Kid and one who killed because of a cut on his thumb. You will meet bank robbers, faith healers, a priest who went underground, a mastermind who wasn't and his lawyer who was, a dancing princess, the Davy Crockett aficionado who was kidnapped and a teacher who was not, a pianist in need of a haircut and a guy who was told "you're going to need a bigger boat", and many more. All of them were simply...people. Some heroic, some tragic, some mysterious, some cruel, and some amusing (some intentionally and some not). In short, they were just humans trying to master that most difficult of human endeavours, surviving, some having greater success with it than others. But they were all interesting.And every individual you will meet from "Three-Fingered Louie" to the lady named "Woman of the Falling Snow" did (or do) exist and every story you will read is absolutely true. Keith Black, in his conversational style, will make you laugh and make you cry, but, most of all, you will be entertained. Enjoy!

Three-Fingered Louie and Other True Stories

In 2010, Andrew, a tall, dark, and handsome man, flitted amongst the St. Louis elite with a pedigree worthy of their involvement. The only problem was that his gilded gold stories were complete fabrications. He vacated the region in 2015 but had the balls to return less than ten years later, propagating the same charade. St. Louis Lucifer is a true crime story of deception and impersonation. Not so much a "tell all" but a "based on a true story" about Andrew's faux foibles. Szulc exorcises a demon through her story of the collision into the life of an imposter in the hallowed halls of St. Louis' cultural institutions.
