🔥 Remember, Remember… The Monteagle Letter? ✉️🤔 Most of us in the UK know the story of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot. But did you know it was an anonymous letter that saved Parliament in 1605? The Monteagle Letter—a cryptic warning with unknown origins—changed the course of British history forever. But here’s the real question: who wrote it? Was it: 🔍 Francis Tresham, the reluctant conspirator having second thoughts? 🤝 Lord Monteagle himself, securing loyalty points and playing both sides? 🧠 Robert Cecil, the mastermind weaving a narrative of control? ❓ An unknown author, hidden forever in history? In 1605, knowing who authored a letter could shift the narrative from heroic whistleblower to self-serving informant. Fast forward to today, and we face similar questions in the digital age with AI-generated content. Does it matter who—or what—creates content? Does it change how we trust, interpret, or value the message? 💭 What’s your perspective: does knowing who—or what—writes something change how you value or react to it? 🔥 Happy Bonfire Night! 🎇 #AIRevolution #FutureOfWork #Innovation #BonfireNight #AuthorshipMatters #AIContent #TrustInTech

Issue Closes Today

Sharing a review of my novel "Wrinkled Rebels," to be launched next week. This is the official Readers' Favorite review rating for your book which considers the appearance of the book; plot; development; formatting; marketability; and overall experience of the reviewer. Overall Rating: 5***** Review: Reviewed by Alma Boucher for Readers' Favorite. Wrinkled Rebels by Laura Katz Olson chronicles the enduring friendship between six college friends who strengthened their relationship through political engagement during the 1960s and 1970s. Six decades are covered in this epic trip, starting in their idealistic undergraduate years and ending in their 80s with the issues they face today as they age. During this time, the friends had completely different lifestyles and minimal contact with one another. Then the friends received an invitation to get together for a long weekend and attempt to rekindle their previous close friendships. Even though their lives were very different, they were able to find significance in social justice and activism in disciplines thanks to their mutual devotion, but with regrets over perhaps lost possibilities. Wrinkled Rebels brought to light the story of the six friends. Laura Olson skillfully portrayed not only their continuous dedication, challenges, and disappointments as they approached retirement and old age but also the ability of enduring friendship to lift each other's weary spirits. This story tells us that although life changes and people strive for justice throughout history, our fundamental beliefs never change. The storyline was intertwined with themes of love, friendship, care, drama, and memories. This book was written with young and old progressive political activists in mind who are working for social justice and a better society. The plot, which jumps around in time, is masterfully crafted and captivating. The characters, all in their eighties, had touching stories of their lives that warmed my heart.

REVIEW: A very strange scientist insists on meeting the main character, Evan Wycliff. He tells him about a fake second coming that will use major technology. Meanwhile, another preacher is luring hopeless and homeless individuals to a ranch. These people are told that they must starve for redemption. Once a young lady Evan knows reaches the ranch, he is pulled into a scandalous disaster. This book gets right into it on the first page! Grabbing the reader’s attention with such intrigue that we immediately want to know. The strangeness of the first conversation creates a mysterious backdrop for the rest of the book. Evan doesn’t need to get involved, but I can appreciate why he must. He has an unwritten duty to a congregation that is no longer his. Evan’s snooping leads us on a wild journey into a cult. I have always found cults fascinating, and how Gerald Everett Jones introduces the cult is spectacular. The leader is charming and yet very sinister. When Evan meets him, it is like walking into a wolf den. I won’t spoil it, but woah! The ending was dissatisfying in a satisfying way. I grew attached to what I thought the outcome should be, but the ending we got was more logical for the story. You must read it to understand. Overall, I think this was an entertaining read. If you like a little mystery this is a good choice.

The next step in the journey: launching a conversation about what we can take away from Life of Libby and how we can build on it.

Interesting read.

A brilliant article.
