Balderdash & Poppycock provides a wry & irreverent chronology of the Social, Economic, Political, Financial, Business, Labor and Legal events that got us here. From the first bank bailout by Alexander Hamilton to the Contract with America that helped create the housing bubble; from Shay's Rebellion brought about by monetary policy of the times to the abuses by bankers and politicians of the late Twentieth and early Twenty First Century you will enjoy insights into the nature of the American Experience and Democracy at work that will make you laugh, anger you and have you shaking your head at the stupidity that passed for wisdom. Follow the Supreme Court decisions that opened the markets for big banking and how those decisions created an environment for financial abuses as Congress failed to recognize the dangers presented by those decisions despite the warnings of the court. Follow the path allowing the egregious behavior of the Wall Street banks and beltway politicians tantamount to the Railroad tycoons and the associated scandals of the 19th century that brought us to the financial crisis of the early 21st century. Everybody gets thrown under the bus, Demon-Krates, Rip-Offli-Kans, Inde-pundits and Liber-tinKs in all their Kafkaesque glory as they get slammed as factionalism, ignorance, greed, power lust and apathy destroyed the financial foundation of the nation.

The Agatha Award–winning author of Stirring the Plot returns to the Cookbook Nook in Crystal Cove, California, where February brings Pirate Week, National Chocolate Month—and bitter murder… Pirate Week is sweeping through Crystal Cove and keeping Jenna Hart and her bookstore, the Cookbook Nook, plenty busy. But she’s not too swamped to also host the local Chocolate Cookbook Club’s meeting—especially because the guest of honor is her friend, candy maker and cookbook author Coco Chastain. Jenna whips up a delicious event amidst the rowdy festivities, but the mood is soon broken by robberies, simmering tempers, and a dead body—Coco’s editor, Alison. The suspects turn out to be more plentiful than a pot full of gold doubloons, so to prove Coco isn’t responsible for the dastardly deed, Jenna will have to stir up some clues and figure out who’s the real sticky-fingered killer… INCLUDES RECIPES!

That stuffy Victorian inventor, Stanton Wardgrave, is back again, eight years after inventing holograms and meeting the American Josephine Boulton. Married now, with a son and daughter, he’s dealing with rather too much balderdash and poppycock this Christmas Eve. Conversing with his dead father? Expecting three visitors? It all seems so very Dickensian. But he knows he’s not at all like that Ebenezer Scrooge fellow...is he? What, this story asks, would Christmas be without a bit of steampunk in it?
