Dawn Before Darkness with Liz Lazarus - GunFreedomRadio EP526

Our guest today is Liz Lazarus. Liz is the author of Free of Malice, Plea for Justice, Shades of Silence, and most recently Dawn Before Darkness. 1) Dawn Before Darkness begins as a romance before transforming into a legal thriller and suspense novel. What inspired this story, and what real-world issues were you hoping readers would recognize beneath the fiction? 2) One of the central themes is the exploitation of vulnerable seniors through the guardianship and conservatorship system. Why is this an issue more Americans should understand, and what warning signs should families watch for? 3) Dawn survives because she's prepared, keeps her wits about her under pressure, and has multiple layers of protection—including technology, a loyal dog, and ultimately the ability to fight back. What message were you hoping to send about personal safety, resilience, and self-reliance? 4) Without giving away every twist, your novel reminds readers that corruption often involves networks of people rather than a single bad actor. Why was it important to explore how systems can fail—and how determined individuals can expose the truth? 5) How do people follow you? Originally Aired 8.10.26
