"It's Not Your Fault: But It Could Be" by Chuck Trunks--a book that will make you think about your choices going forward.

 

Nampa, Idaho  - August 26, 2025 - An excerpt from Chapter Four: 

"I'd say it's more of a guilty-until-proven-innocent society in which contracts are written as one-size-fits-all behemoths that assume the worst of people regardless of their personal histories. Sadly, none of this surprises me. I rarely witness acts of honor, integrity, and ownership anymore; instead, I see rampant knee-jerk blaming that's devoid of anything resembling personal accountability, empathy, or remorse. To me, it's a litigious, intolerant, and combative society that hides behind ridiculously huge and incomprehensible contracts, computer screens, and tinted car windows. I used to live among people who tempered their convictions by seeking to understand the opinions of others. Now I'm surrounded by people whose tolerance is measured by the amount of shame they can live with." 💓

Back Cover:

If you've seen what I've seen inside and outside mainstream society, then you will love this book because you will have found a like-minded brother in me. If what I'm revealing in It's Not Your Fault: But It Could Be is eye-opening to you, then you will also love this book because it demonstrates that there's more to work than the daily grind, more to happiness than material wealth, and more to relationships than pet-centric lives.

There's no doubt we live in a duplicitous society in which we are instructed to follow our dreams and to be our authentic selves. But at the same time, this confusing culture offers a narrow definition of success and only one way to get there. This book is based on real-life experiences that will remind you of the freedoms you still have, so you, too, can avoid the false promises of the American Dream.

All my books can be found on Amazon. 💓💓💓

Nampa, Idaho - August 4, 2025 - An excerpt from Chapter Three - Summer Daze:

"As I said goodbye to Alex, thanking him profusely for everything he'd done for me, I looked for my moody boss, but he had already disappeared into the greenhouse. I turned my gaze to Alexis, who made no effort to cover herself, opting instead to remain standing in heels while holding on to the pickets of the wrought iron fence that separated us both physically and financially. The brunette looked 10 years older than she was with the face and locks of a partied-out Kennedy—complete with a ravaged complexion, overly tanned skin, and an indestructible hairline. Her eyeshadow matched the magenta highlights on her bathing suit, which appeared at least a size too small for her curvaceous frame. I looked at her hands and noticed they were as tan as the rest of her and that she wasn't wearing a wedding band. And when she smiled, her pale blue eyes smiled, too, making me feel as powerless as a fly trapped in a spider's web."
