Eight days before Dr. James Veltmeyer’s scheduled book signing event Oct. 30 at Lido Village Books in Newport Beach, CA, the store’s owner canceled the event after receiving “a backlash from the community.”

“She wouldn’t explain what this backlash was,” Andrew Russo, a publicist for author Dr. James Veltmeyer, told The Epoch Times.
