Kansas is not the quiet heartland you learned about in school. It is the crossroads where every national argument, natural disaster, and ambitious dream once stopped for a drink. In Sunflowers, Storms, and Stubborn Souls, Jordan Blake Carter tells the history of Kansas the way it deserves to be told. Bold. Funny. Honest. And completely unfiltered. This book takes you from the ancient tallgrass prairie to the chaos of the territorial era, when Kansas held a full rehearsal for the Civil War.

Every empire has its capital. Ours happens to be built on a swamp. In Swamp, Suits, and Shenanigans, cultural essayist Jordan Blake Carter digs through two centuries of ambition, hypocrisy, and hope to reveal the real Washington, D.C. From its mosquito-ridden origins to its modern brunch-and-barricade reality, this is the capital as you have never seen it: brilliant, broken, and always under renovation.

California is the land of impossible dreams and inevitable disasters. Gold built it, earthquakes shook it, fires torched it, Hollywood sold it, and Silicon Valley convinced us all to scroll through it. Behind the sunshine and palm trees lies a history of robber barons, cult leaders, political circus acts, and enough contradictions to power the state grid.

Delaware: the First State, the Forgotten State, and the strangest little powerhouse you never paid attention to. This is not your high school history textbook. From Lenape fishing villages to Dutch and Swedish turf wars, from Caesar Rodney’s wheezing midnight ride to the explosive rise of DuPont, Delaware has been shaping America while pretending to be invisible. Along the way it perfected the art of being indispensable without being noticed: chickens, chemicals, corporations, and boardwalks all rolled into one.

New Mexico has always lived between extremes. It is ancient and futuristic, sacred and absurd, breathtaking and infuriating, a place where thousand-year-old pueblos sit down the highway from a spaceport, where UFO museums coexist with world-class art, and where chile is a state religion. Enchantment and Exasperation is a romp through thousands of years of survival, reinvention, rebellion, and weirdness.

Illinois never waited to be admired. It made itself necessary. This book tells the story of a state that learned early how to move things, reroute systems, and survive contradiction without apology. Illinois didn’t rise on speeches or symbolism. It rose on rivers, railroads, deals, and decisions that kept everything else running. Illinois: Prairie, Power, and the Audacity to Reverse a River is an unsentimental history of power built through connection, adaptation, and stubborn refusal to collapse.

Lakes, Labor, and Long Memory traces the real history beneath the politeness, from Indigenous governance and broken treaties to logging camps, iron mines, labor movements, cities shaped by paperwork, and a political culture built on memory rather than myth. This is not a brochure and it is not an apology. It is an irreverent, unsentimental look at how people in Minnesota learned to survive through cooperation, argue without disengaging, and build systems because isolation failed them again and again. Niceness here was never softness. It was strategy.

Complex PTSD can change the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. But healing is possible, and understanding what you're experiencing is an important first step. Living with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) can feel exhausting and confusing. Hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, shame, dissociation, and difficulty trusting others are not signs of weakness or personal failure. They are common responses to prolonged trauma and chronic stress.

In Gold, Guns, and Grizzlies, Jordan Blake Carter takes you through the hilarious, gritty, and often absurd history of the Treasure State. You’ll meet vigilantes who hanged more neighbors than outlaws, homesteaders who discovered optimism is not a substitute for rainfall, and tourists who thought bison were selfie-friendly.

Before Columbus Got Lost rewrites the opening chapter of the Americas with humor, heart, and honesty. Jordan Blake Carter invites listeners to step into a continent that was never empty and never primitive. From the astronomers of Chaco Canyon to the philosophers of the Haudenosaunee, from the engineers who carved irrigation canals through desert sand to the artists who painted prayers onto clay, this is a history that refuses to whisper.

First in flight. Fierce in basketball. Divided by barbecue. And stubborn about everything. North Carolina has never been easy to pin down. It dragged its feet on secession yet sent more soldiers to die for the Confederacy than any other state. It boasts of being “first in freedom” while clinging to old hierarchies. It gave the world pirates, bootleggers, moonshine-fueled stock car races, and barbecue feuds so fierce they could outlast most wars. In this sharp and funny history, Jordan Blake Carter takes you on an irreverent ride through four centuries of contradictions.

What can a cactus teach you about boundaries, survival, and thriving in a world that wants too much of you? More than you think.

From ancient myths to modern rituals, Jordan Blake Carter uncovers the shared values, moral codes, and deep questions that unite spiritual traditions across the globe. You’ll travel through history, meet prophets and sages, and see how faith, in its many forms, points toward compassion, justice, and hope.
