From supreme president to forgotten enemy, John W. Talbot lived a remarkable life. Charismatic, energetic, and powerful, he founded a national fraternal organization, the Order of Owls, and counted senators, congressmen, and business leaders among his friends. He wielded his influence to help causes close to his heart but also to bring down those who stood against him. In So Much Bad in the Best of Us, Greta Fisher's careful research reveals that Talbot was capable of great evil, causing one woman to describe him as "the Devil Incarnate." His string of very public affairs revealed his strange sexual preferences and violent tendencies, and charges leveled against him included perjury, blackmail, jury tampering, slander, libel, misuse of the mail, assault with intent to kill, and White slavery. Ultimately convicted on the slavery charge, he spent several years in Leavenworth penitentiary and eventually lost everything, including control of the Order of Owls. His descent into alcoholism and death by fire was a fitting end to a tumultuous and dramatic life. After 50 years of newspaper headlines and court battles, Talbot's death made national news, but with more enemies than friends and estranged from his family, he was ultimately forgotten. A gripping true crime story, So Much Bad in the Best of Us offers a mesmerizing account of the life of John W. Talbot, the Order of Owls, and how quickly the powerful can fall.

"Life is suffering so no use building a shrine to it." Loretta Nelson, or Lolo as she likes to be called, is no stranger to loss. It began with the death of her mother during childbirth; a crime for which her drunk of a father blames her. He wants nothing to do with her except to degrade and abuse, pawning her off on her nanny, Miss Sarah, then his secretary Margaret, and finally the Sisters at Blessed Sacrament boarding school. Life gets better, life gets worse, life goes on, and she manages to survive. It's the late 1950s and early '60s in a small Midwestern town. Lolo wants a family, but more than that, she wants someone to love her for who she is, not the killer her father accuses her of being. This quest for love, by a desperate child who barely knows what love is, weaves a story of lies, theft, sexual exploration, and child abuse. All of it secrets she must keep behind a facade of humor and bravado. But everything and everyone Lolo loves seems to disappear leaving her more and more vulnerable. The sudden death of her father (did she kill both her parents?) reveals a man she never knew. How could there be so much bad in the best of us?

Saint or Sinner? So Much Good in the Worst of Us is the long-awaited sequel to bestselling author Cheryl Robillard's debut novel So Much Bad in the Best of Us. The novel continues to follow Lolo as she inherits her father's business in a small mid-west town in the 1960s and early 70s. Lolo is a young woman plagued by innumerable abuses and loss since childhood which has left her mentally unbalanced. While carrying the guilt of killing her mother in childbirth, and then her father in a final fit of rage and retribution, she struggles to find love and acceptance. She'll do whatever it takes to survive, even if that means moral transgressions. Lolo outwardly veils the depths of her suffering with alcohol, humor, chutzpah, and cunning acts of deception. She struggles within as she fights a battle for her very soul; a battle she realizes she may be losing. Will she kill again to save a friend or keep her business from the clutches of a desperate woman and a beautiful child who has her father's eyes? Can she quiet the voice telling her they must go? When her lost love returns after disappearing for years with secrets of his own, she is faced with life decisions that will change everything. Is love an illusion or will it be her salvation?
