America the Prisoner
America the Prisoner is a deeply researched yet simply written study of the political and economic events that have led to the seemingly inextricable U.S. dependence on foreign oil, the consequences of that dependence, and a specific plan to end it. Where politicians fear to tread, the author takes you deep into the sordid political history of the pursuit of black gold, detailing the dirty deals and questionable political decisions that have been made in the name of access to the worlds most important natural resource. The American consumer can have stable, affordable fuel, and the United States can sever its connection to the world of radical Islam once and for all. America the Prisoner shows how cutting-edge technology can profitably replace oil with domestically produced renewable energy. The United States can end the scourge of foreign oil and renew America while bringing back jobs, increasing wealth, and promoting economic growth.

Devil's Rooming House
The gripping tale of a legendary, century-old murder spree *** A silent, simmering killer terrorized New England in1911. As a terrible heat wave killed more than 2,000 people, another silent killer began her own murderous spree. That year a reporter for the Hartford Courant noticed a sharp rise in the number of obituaries for residents of a rooming house in Windsor, Connecticut, and began to suspect who was responsible: Amy Archer-Gilligan, who’d opened the Archer Home for Elderly People and Chronic Invalids four years earlier. “Sister Amy” would be accused of murdering both of her husbands and up to sixty-six of her patients with cocktails of lemonade and arsenic; her story inspired the Broadway hit Arsenic and Old Lace. The Devil’s Rooming House is the first book about the life, times, and crimes of America’s most prolific female serial killer. In telling this fascinating story, M. William Phelps also paints a vivid portrait of early-twentieth-century New England.
