This book examines the Trump phenomenon and presidency as fascist. Fascism here connotes not generically "bad" politics or a consolidated political-economic regime (Mussolini’s Italy or Hitler’s Germany) but a set of political, movement, and ideological traits understood within the context of the neoliberal-capitalist era. While Trump’s election defeat is a respite, the nation is far from out of the neofascist woods. Defeating the menace will require political and societal restructuring far beyond what is imagined by Democrats. This argument is developed across seven chapters that recount Trump’s assault on the 2020 election, specifically define the meaning of fascism as it is used in this book, demonstrate the neofascist nature of the Trump presidency, engage intellectual class Trumpism-fascism-denial, analyze the Trump base, root Trumpism in a longstanding and indeed founding American white nationalism, examine why Trump rose to power when he did, and suggest paths for fascism-proofing the USA.

This collection includes the first three books in the It Happened at The Hideaway series, plus an extra bonus scene for each couple! Welcome to The Hideaway, an ultra-exclusive luxury resort and spa tucked into Mexico’s stunning Pacific Coast. Against the backdrop of sparkling turquoise water and lush, verdant mountains, Hollywood’s hottest celebrities and elite VIPs can let down their guard out of the public eye. And with a discreet staff anticipating their every desire, that leaves plenty of time for relaxation…and romance. There’s just one rule: what happens at The Hideaway stays at The Hideaway. Then again, rules were made to be broken. Book 1: Seductive Serenade Pretending to be her famous pop star sister for a week isn’t Cleo Maxwell’s idea of a relaxing vacation. But when Benji Prescott, the heartbreakingly handsome ex-boybander she has a crush on, knocks on her villa door and asks for songwriting help, there’s no way she’s turning him down. With their feelings for each other intensifying and the days ticking by, how much longer can Cleo maintain the charade? Book 2: Runaway Romance Emmy Santos, a former child star looking to make a comeback, thought marrying her popular, beloved costar would be the answer to all her problems, but on the morning of their much-anticipated wedding, her gut tells her to run. When she ends up at The Hideaway, Xavier Tate—her best friend’s successful, handsome older brother—is the last person she expects to encounter. Will their sizzling connection make her rethink her stance on walking down the aisle? Book 3: Christmas Connection Luxury hotel reviewer Monica Ryan is finding it hard to get over her thirst-trapping celebrity pastry chef ex—especially since his face is all over billboards and popping up on her social feeds. Escaping to The Hideaway with her sister just before the holidays seems like the perfect way to put Philippe Deslauriers out of mind, but as fate has it, he’s visiting the resort as well. This Christmas, they’ve been gifted a second chance at happiness…will they let it go to waste? Each book in the series is a steamy, stand-alone romance with NO cliffhanger and an HEA. Suitable for ages 18+. Come find your escape.

“The Quarry,” Rory croaked. “There’s been a massacre! They’re dead…. all DEAD!” It is high summer in the picturesque fishing village of Barlmouth and the beach and streets are thronged with tourists. Suddenly they are attacked by flocks of seagulls, acting in a structured and coordinated way. Why? Terrorism! Rork is a young seagull who discovers that local businessmen are secretly culling the birds in his colony. He finds himself thrust unwillingly into leadership of the gulls and organises a dramatic protest. Factions within the gull colony resort to more vicious methods to avenge their kinfolk and Rork struggles on two fronts to contain the inevitable escalation. Anne Rigby is a feisty young reporter for the local paper who realises that the birds have a message to convey and searches for the reason. The local population takes sides in the conflict that follows, which is followed avidly on national television. This culminates in a pitched battle between gulls and gunmen, centred on and around the elegant launching party of a superyacht belonging to a local dignitary. The conclusion is as sudden and surprising as it is unexpected. The Dirty Bombers is a humorous work of young adult fiction that will also appeal to older readers. It can be seen as an analogy for conflict between groups such as the Palestinians and Israelis, with peacemakers and hardliners on both sides, making the topic accessible to teen readers. Author Ed has been inspired by Richard Adams and John Wyndham.
