BURN BACK BETTER:
WHEN WILL THE STATE STEAL
YOUR LAND?
NEXT Tuesday, November 4th, at 5:30 PM (PST), What Matters LA presents
the Authors of "Burn Back Better" & the sequel book "Sound The Alarm!" at the Lighthouse Church in Santa Monica.
Two of the three collaborative authors in this duology (possibly soon to be a trilogy), Traci Derwin and Shane Buell will present in-person at the Lighthouse Church on Tuesday, November 4th @ 5:30 P.M.
Signed books will be available for
purchase at this event.
Insights derived from thousand of hours of interviews, research, compilation of data & images, and visiting homes & destinations have given Traci and Shane enough information to sound the alarm around the globe with stories and conclusions NOT told by captured media regarding the devastating fires in Paradise (2018), Hawaii (2023), and Palisades (2025). Their updated information more clearly delineates the disturbing similarities between these
devastating extreme weather events. We've all seen the deliberate and blatant dereliction of duty by our elected representatives in response to these fires. With this well-researched information, we can all help sound the alarm loud and clear about this outrageous injustice.
