From the Best-Selling Author of Deep & Raw: Two Must-Read Fall 2025 Books
2025 Book Releases by Martone include two powerful and socially relevant works that speak directly to truth, justice, and cultural urgency.
- 📕 In Good Hands by Martone: Bad Faith and Burned Promises
- 📘 No Actually by Martone: Black People are Not Racists and Never Can Be
Originally slated for August 2025, both titles have been rescheduled for strategic, symbolic dates tied to historical events that align with each book’s core message.
In Good Hands releases on Monday, September 15, 2025, to coincide with the 17th anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse, the catalyst for the 2008 financial crisis.
No, Actually launches on Monday, October 13, 2025, in honor of Indigenous People’s Day, a national observance honoring truth, survival, and justice for Native communities.
These aren’t just books — they are cultural documents that confront systemic injustice, elevate truth-telling, and demand accountability.
In Good Hands by Martone: Whistleblower Exposé on Insurance Scandal
📅 Release Date: September 15, 2025
📚 Category: Memoir, Investigative Nonfiction
In Good Hands by Martone is a raw and powerful exposé of corporate deception, racial bias, and systemic failure within the U.S. insurance industry. Based on Martone’s real-life ordeal, this book uncovers the dark side of an industry that claims to protect — but instead delays, denies, and gaslights.
Martone’s claim — related to a stolen vehicle — was mishandled by a major insurer, resulting in months of unlawful delay, misrepresentation of facts, and statutory violations under Michigan insurance law. The emotional, legal, and financial strain endured by Martone is meticulously documented through legal filings, redacted emails, and recorded phone calls — offering a rare evidence-based look at what happens when policyholders seek justice.
Why September 15 Matters
This date marks the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 — a moment that shattered public trust in financial institutions. In the same way, In Good Hands reveals how insurance companies can betray the people they claim to protect. Martone’s voice becomes a whistleblower narrative, echoing the failures of oversight and the fragility of public trust.
“You think you’re in good hands—until they burn you.”
No Actually by Martone: Dismantling the Myth of Reverse Racism
📅 Release Date: October 13, 2025
📚 Category: History, Cultural Commentary
No Actually by Martone is a bold, controversial truth-telling book that dismantles the myth of “reverse racism” and explores the history of systemic oppression through a global and unapologetically Black lens. Martone confronts the weaponization of race in modern politics, media, and policy, while offering critical analysis of figures who perpetuate false narratives — from Donald Trump and Elon Musk, to Candace Owens and other enablers.
Why Indigenous People’s Day Was Chosen
The October 13 release date honors the legacy of Indigenous resistance. The book’s theme aligns with the histories of colonization, land theft, enslavement, and the continued erasure of truth. No, Actually stands in solidarity with silenced voices, exposing how racism is not an opinion — it’s a structure.
“To be racist, you must have the power to oppress — and we’ve never had that power. But we’ve always had the truth.”
What Comes Next for Martone 2025 Book Releases
Martone is currently finalizing legal documentation for In Good Hands, ensuring that every chapter is fortified with receipts, court documents, and raw emotional truth. Meanwhile, No Actually enters final editorial refinement in preparation for a powerful fall debut.
Both books will be available in hardcover and eBook formats. Media review copies will be distributed beginning in September 2025. Interviews, press kits, and exclusive excerpts will be available via Martone Publishing.
