Join us as we welcome author, William Johnson as he signs his latest book, Murderous Marxism. The most dangerous ideology of the modern age didn't die with the Cold War - it's been reborn in plain sight. In Murderous Marxism, historian William Johnson fearlessly exposes the suppressed truths about Communism's century of terror - and its chilling modern reincarnation in today's "Woke" movements and cultural ideologies. Drawing on The Black Book of Communism, Venona Files, The Mitrokhin Archive, and declassified Soviet records, Johnson delivers a gripping, accessible account of how Marxist theory evolved into the deadliest political experiment in human history, claiming over 100 million lives across the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Cambodia, and beyond. Through meticulous research and sharp storytelling, Johnson reveals: The brutality of Lenin's revolution and Stalin's famine, including forgotten atrocities of impalement, gassing, and mass executions. The real numbers behind Communist death tolls - far exceeding those of the world wars and the transatlantic slave trade combined. The parallels between 20th-century Marxism and modern "Cultural Marxism", from classroom indoctrination to social media censorship. How totalitarian ideas resurface today under new names - "equity," "wokeness," "DEI" - still promising utopia while dismantling liberty. Firsthand testimonies and declassified intelligence that document global infiltration from Moscow to Managua, from Mao's China to Castro's Cuba.Murderous Marxism is not just a history book - it's a wake-up call for free societies. In powerful, straightforward language, Johnson connects the dots between yesterday's red terror and today's ideological divide, revealing why history's darkest lessons must never again be buried. If you value freedom, faith, or truth, this book will change how you see the modern world. Perfect for readers of The Black Book of Communism, 1984, Witness, Live Not by Lies, and The Gulag Archipelago

Join us as we welcome author, Emily J Peaslee as they sign their latest title, Whatever Happened To Naomi? A child abandoned. A mother's haunting guilt. A secret that refuses to stay buried. Two-year-old Naomi is left at the cold gates of a mental asylum by the very people who should have protected her. Her father insists she is demonic because of her terrifying seizures. Her mother, torn between obedience and love, leaves a desperate letter tucked inside Naomi's coat-hoping someone will give the little girl the future she cannot. What follows is a journey of heartbreak, resilience, and redemption. Naomi's story unfolds through the eyes of those who encounter her-compassionate caretakers, conflicted parents, and strangers who become family. Along the way, secrets rise, faith is tested, and love is redefined. Whatever Happened to Naomi? is more than historical Christian fiction-it's a stirring tale of abandonment, illness, and the power of faith to redeem even the darkest choices.

Join us as we welcome author, Maxim Langstaff as they sign their title Sasq'et. IN 1939, A DEADLY CONFRONTATION IN THE CANADIAN WILDERNESS shatters young Albert Pingree's life and leaves him the keeper of a truth so staggering it could tear apart mankind's understanding of itself. Sixty years later, his granddaughter Mallory - a small-town veterinarian in rural New Hampshire, inherits more than his fortune; she inherits his secret. When Albert is found dead behind his remote British Columbia cabin, Mallory is drawn into a world of deception, lost identity, and scientific obsession. Inside a locked candle box, she uncovers a horrific relic - a severed hand too large to be human - and a note that beckons her toward the impossible. Mallory recruits Dr. George Avery, the world's leading field zoologist to help her identify what she has found. At first, he is reluctant, unaware of the magnitude of what she has brought to him. As the puzzle begins to take shape, he is confronted by what the answers they find, reveal. Exploring deeper, their growing affection ignites a sense of purpose, even as they face the shadows of the past and the dangers of their pursuit. In the haunting wilds of the Pacific Northwest, nature's grandeur and brutality are ever-present. Tangled forests and untamed rivers, bears, wolves, and the ancient reverence of Indigenous traditions surround them, blurring the lines between myth and reality. Their quest becomes a journey not only to solve a mystery, but to reconcile love, loneliness, and the immortal question of our place in a world still ruled by secrets.

“A breathtaking hymn to the sanctity of natural spaces, operating on timescales both intimate and geological.
