Author and publisher Sir Wolfdogg Lanier-French has released two new titles, now available through the SirWolfdogg.com Bookstore. The books add to a body of work that blends lived American history with a storytelling voice he calls “scholarly fiction.” The dual release matters because it offers readers an unusual pairing: a candid personal history spanning decades and a fictional narrative that probes the inner lives of its characters, together showcasing the full range of Lanier-French’s literary mission.
The first title, “39 Virtues of Integrity ‘n Stuff!,” is a work of nonfiction built on more than 65 years of the author’s personal and professional experience. Across 39 firsthand historical perspectives spanning the 1950s through 2025, Lanier-French revisits the people, places, and moments that shaped his worldview as a longtime change-agent consultant. Guided by Maya Angelou’s belief that courage is the foundation of every other virtue, the book explores respect, forgiveness, and wisdom as practical tools for personal and organizational change. It is positioned as a reflective, motivational read for anyone navigating difficult transitions in life or in the workplace. The book’s ISBN is 979-8-234-02871-6.
The second title, “Cops & Lovers: Unspoken Truths! (Volume No. 1),” is a work of fiction set in Sircus Junction, a small, old-money town tucked into Virginia’s Shenandoah Mountains. The story follows Detective Bishop Calloway, the town’s finest homicide investigator and a philosopher at heart, as he struggles to balance his oath to protect and serve against the loyalties of family, faith, and the heart. Written in the author’s signature “scholarly fiction” style, which he defines as “unexpressed realities of inner thoughts,” the novel invites readers to sit inside each character’s biases and values as crime and love collide. Its ISBN is 979-8-234-00689-9.
Both books reflect Lanier-French’s mission to welcome readers into what he calls his “21st Century Literary Crew,” offering stories that are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining. The release is significant for readers interested in American social history and for those who enjoy fiction that examines moral complexity. By publishing a memoir and a novel simultaneously, Lanier-French provides two distinct entry points into his perspective: one grounded in lived experience and the other in imaginative storytelling. “39 Virtues of Integrity ‘n Stuff!” and “Cops & Lovers: Unspoken Truths!” are both available for purchase now at sirwolfdoggbookstore.com. The author encourages readers to pick up both titles and experience the full range of his voice, from honest personal history to richly imagined fiction.
