Wooding D: Sixty, Not Out

Sixty, Not Out

Surviving Jay Peak

Uncovering The Truth Behind Mysterious Stories

Exploring Famous Urban Legends

From two survivors of the "Tinder Swindler" comes a powerful resource that gives readers practical guidance to evade romance fraud and similar scams.
Millions of people who turn to digital social networks for friendship, connection, or love wind up devastated-and not just emotionally. Fraudsters and trolls doling out online harassment, destroying reputations, and causing their victims to rack up crushing debt are on the rise, and dismissive authorities and institutions are leaving said victims desperate.
Now, in their own words, Cecilie Fjellhøy and Pernilla Sjöholm-two targets of con man Simon Leviev, the subject of Netflix's The Tinder Swindler-delve into how their harrowing experiences of betrayal and financial ruin at the hands of a master manipulator have impacted their lives. But this book doesn't just share their experiences; it's an educational cautionary tale and call to action.
Interwoven with their candid personal narratives are expert insights into the mechanics of relationship scams, the psychological toll on victims, and the loopholes in banking and cybercrime laws that leave injured parties unprotected. In this book, educators, law enforcement professionals, financial institutions, and users of dating apps and social media sites alike will find invaluable guidance for identifying and addressing these pervasive crimes.
An unflinching look at relationship fraud and the systemic failures that allow it to flourish, Swindled Never After is a must-read for anyone navigating the minefield of modern dating as well as those working to safeguard others against similar scams.

How We Survived (and You Can Spot) a Relationship Scammer

Swindled Never After

My Book: 1 Evil Thing is based on true events while other characters are given different names. These events are based on facts and are true events that happened and are inspired by the Noelle Chagolla case-my friend who was murdered long ago. Through time-compelling facts came about this one evil thing that I want the world to know about. Hopefully, readers are reached with love and understanding of life, how precious it is to live and care for others like how we would care for ourselves, given that life should never be taken for granted when it can easily be taken from us. So live every day gracefully and greatly. Never be evil to others. Always live and love.

1 Evil Thing

Jack the Ripper ¿ ein Name, der seit über einem Jahrhundert Rätsel aufgibt. Die grausamen Morde im Londoner East End von 1888 schockierten die Welt, doch bis heute bleibt die Identität des Täters ein ungelöstes Mysterium. 

In ¿Die Erfindung von Jack the Ripper¿ geht es nicht nur um die brutalen Verbrechen, sondern um die Entstehung eines Mythos, der sich tief in das kollektive Bewusstsein eingegraben hat. Der Autor beleuchtet das soziale Umfeld, die psychologischen Motive und die Rolle der Medien, die aus dem Serienmörder eine Legende machten. 

Das Buch hinterfragt die Motive hinter den Taten, deckt die Versäumnisse der Ermittlungen auf und zeigt, wie sich der Mythos über Jahrzehnte entwickelte. Eine spannende Reise durch Geschichte, Psychologie und die moderne Faszination für das Dunkle ¿ ein Sachbuch, das Jack the Ripper in einem neuen Licht zeigt.

Die Advent- und Weihnachtszeit entfaltet einen Zauber, der beinahe jede und jeden erfasst. Dieser Faszination spürt der Ethnologe Heimo Schinnerl anhand von Bräuchen in Kärnten nach - wobei er vielfache Bezüge zu benachbarten oder auch entfernteren Regionen aufzeigt, entstehen doch lokale Traditionen immer im Austausch mit anderen Kulturen. 

Wieso war der Advent eine Fastenzeit? Was unterscheidet Krampusse von Perchten? Woher kommen Weihnachtsmann und Christkind? Was hat es mit Keksen, Punsch oder Christbaumkugeln auf sich? Diese und viele andere Fragen beantwortet das Buch.

36 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and Mayhem
Three Book Collection: Volumes 19, 20, and 21 of the True Crime Case Histories Series
***** This series can be read in any order *****

The true crime genre tends to revolve around the same notorious names, retold and reexamined until every detail becomes familiar. But for every killer who achieved infamy, dozens more committed equally heinous acts that barely made it past the local news. Their victims' stories remain untold, their families' grief unacknowledged by the wider world.
This collection digs deeper, unearthing cases that prove not all monsters are famous. Through careful research and compelling storytelling, these accounts reveal that the most disturbing crimes often happen far from the spotlight-in quiet suburbs, rural communities, and forgotten corners where evil thought no one was watching.
A sampling of the stories includes:

The Perfect Murder - She was 26 and planning her dream wedding. Her fiancé seemed perfect-a psychiatric nurse studying to become a doctor. But while she picked out flowers and finalized seating charts, he was Googling "chemicals to dissolve bodies."

The Body in the Garden - For eighteen years, an eccentric elderly woman hosted neighborhood barbecues. But her guests had no idea she was keeping an unthinkable secret wrapped in plastic in the garden shed, just feet from where children played.

The Bargain Basement - Patients came to him for cosmetic surgery at bargain-basement prices. But when emergency responders arrived at his basement operating room, they found the surgeon trying to save a dying patient with a wire coat hanger.

The Wrong Car - A college senior celebrating her final weeks before law school made the same decision millions make every weekend--she opened an app and requested a ride home. But the car that pulled up wasn't the rideshare she thought it was.

The Crown Hill Murder - A sixteen-year-old girl disappeared from her own home. Her family never suspected that someone they trusted completely had been planning her death for weeks.

The Social Media Killer - When a controlling husband's threats finally escalated to murder, he made a chilling decision: to document his crime in a way that would shock the world.

Plus thirty more chilling true crime cases.

These aren't stories ripped from headlines you've already read. They're deep dives into lesser-known cases, reconstructed from court transcripts, police files, and witness testimony. These aren't padded with speculation or cheap thrills-they're thoroughly researched investigations into humanity's capacity for evil when it believes it's invisible.

True Crime Case Histories - (Books 19, 20, & 21)

Die Selbstfindung einer jungen Frau zwischen postkolonialer städtischer Kultur und dem von Aberglauben geprägten Landleben und ihr Kampf für die Erhaltung der Natur als Lebensgrundlage der Bauern.
 
 
 Marie-Ange Louisius hat als Kind zusammen mit ihrer Mutter das Dorf Fonds-des-Nègres verlassen, um in Port-au-Prince ein besseres Leben zu finden. Nun sucht die Mutter im Ausland eine Anstellung als Dienstmädchen und will ihre Tochter nachholen, sobald sie Fuß gefasst hat. Marie-Ange kehrt deshalb zu ihrer Großmutter nach Fonds-des-Nègres zurück. Die alte Frau ist eine Heilkundige, die sich auf die Kräfte von Kräutern und die religiösen Riten des Vodou versteht. Das ist für die katholisch erzogene Städterin, die Französisch, die Sprache der Kolonisatoren gelernt hat, vollkommen fremd. Zudem entsetzen sie Armut und Perspektivlosigkeit der abergläubischen Bauern, die ihre Felder durch übermäßige Rodung zerstört haben und nun nichts als Hunger erzeugen. Mit Hilfe des Priesters "Papa" le Houngan gelingt es Marie-Ange schließlich sich mit der Kultur, den Sitten und Gebräuchen des Dorfes zu verbinden, die Bauern aus ihrer Passivität zu befreien und sie von einem ertragreichen, nachhaltigen Ackerbau zu überzeugen.

Roman. Übersetzt von Nathalie Lemmens, mit einem Nachwort von Kaiama L. Glover

The True Story of Frank Rosenthal and Mafia in Las Vegas

Betting On Lefty

Welche Bedeutung haben die alten Mythen unserer Vorfahren heutzutage und was haben sie mit den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart zu tun? Weitaus mehr, als viele glauben. In allen Zeiten, in denen gesellschaftliche und politische Unsicherheiten zunehmen oder technologische Entwicklungen unsere Welt rasant verändern, rücken die alten Geschichten wieder ins Bewusstsein. Dieses Buch zeigt eindrucksvoll, dass Mythen weit mehr sind als romantische Erzählungen aus vergangenen Jahrhunderten. Sie sind verschlüsselte Handlungsanleitungen für Krisenzeiten - und wer sie richtig liest, entdeckt darin Strategien für Mut, Verantwortung und Wandel.

Der Autor verbindet fundiertes kulturgeschichtliches Wissen mit moderner Analyse und macht deutlich: Die alten Erzählungen von Walhall, Siegfried oder den Göttern der Edda sind nicht nur kulturelles Erbe, sondern praktische Lebenshilfe in unruhigen Zeiten. Sie erinnern uns daran, dass es der Einzelne ist, der Entscheidungen trifft, wenn die Gemeinschaft zu zaudern beginnt. Sie zeigen, wie man aus Chaos Ordnung schafft und warum das Vergessen dieser Geschichten eine Gefahr für jede Gesellschaft ist.

Dieses Buch richtet sich an Leserinnen und Leser, die sich für Mythen, Geschichte und kulturelles Gedächtnis interessieren - und an all jene, die in der Gegenwart nach Orientierung suchen. Wer erfahren möchte, warum unsere alten Geschichten nicht nur überliefert, sondern verstanden und genutzt werden sollten, findet hier Inspiration, Denkanstöße und konkrete Handlungsimpulse.

Ein unverzichtbares Werk für alle, die in den alten Mythen nicht nur die Vergangenheit, sondern die Wegweiser für eine selbstbestimmte Zukunft erkennen.
Hermann Selchow

Deutsche Mythen im Spiegel der Gegenwart

Die Erben der Legenden

Grounded in riveting real-life stories, In Pursuit of Truth pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of art, antiques and antiquities. With candor, wit and decades of first-hand experience, the author exposes the deceit, dishonesty and fabrications that have shaped the market for centuries. From Manhattan's glittering auction houses to the shadowy networks of looted antiquities, readers are taken inside the intrigues of collecting: why some works of conceptual art command obscene prices, how illicit money flows distort the market and why the museums and critics we trust are not always as reliable as they appear. Along the way you'll encounter sovereign wealth heists, grave-robbed treasures and the blind eyes of even the world's most prestigious institutions.Intended for collectors, scholars, art lovers, journalists and the freshly curious who want to understand not just the beauty of art, but the power, money and deception behind it. Readers will learn how to navigate a world where provenance is often paper-thin, why markets rise and fall on ego as much as talent and what it truly means to seek authenticity in a culture built on illusion.Unlike other books that romanticize collecting or simply recount scandals, this one is part memoir, part exposé and part cultural history. Written with both seriousness and humor, it invites you to see the art world through the eyes of a seasoned collector, money manager, part-time artist and lifelong seeker of truth.

Exposing Deceit, Scandal and Integrity in the Global Art Market

In Pursuit of Truth in Art, Antiques and Antiquities

Obtain an inside look at a real-life Ponzi scheme from the vantage point of one of its victims.
We've all heard of Ponzi schemes, but what happens when you're the victim of one?
After a 30-year career with the 3M Company, Pat Dougherty retired on December 1, 2022. Prior to retiring, he invested in a clean energy company called Rhino Onward International (ROI) that claimed to be seeking investors to fund a clean energy hydrogen plant in Arizona. Having friends in management positions with ROI, Dougherty considered it to be a secure investment, but that trust was soon to be shattered!
In the fall of 2023, ROI shut its doors, and it was revealed that the two founders had been skimming money from ROI to pay off other business ventures, other investments, and to fund their lavish lifestyles. And as more information came to light, it was revealed that their scam involved roughly 250 investors to the tune of close to $50M. Having personally lost a good chunk of his retirement savings, Dougherty decided to tell his story and expose these two for the Con Artists they are!
In Wolves in Sheep's Clothing, Dougherty chronicles his ordeal from the time of his initial investment to the revelation of the scam. Relating his experiences and utilizing his digital communication with the company's two founders, Dougherty exposes the depth of their lies and deception. Offering readers a unique look at the inner workings of a Ponzi scheme, Dougherty's firsthand account is a stark reminder that if an investment opportunity looks too good to be true, then it probably is.
