Author Bio:

James Cohoon was the president of a Los Angeles based law firm until his early retirement in 2014. As a civil litigation lawyer for over 30 years, he frequently lectured and published legal articles. His daily work included writing legal briefs for judges and other lawyers which were, in essence, ‘stories’ to fit the facts of his hundreds of legal cases. He resides in California with his high-school sweetheart, Rozanne, with whom he has two children–Kristin, a lawyer who is presently a stay-at-home mother, and Travis, a doctor who is just starting a cardiology fellowship.

Besides playing with his grandsons–Everett and Beckett–James enjoys sighting Orca whales from the San Juan Islands shoreline, playing bridge, and mowing the lawn.

Do No Harm (The Medical Students, Book 1) is his debut novel. Book 2 in the series is in the works.

Seriously, God? WTF!?! is an openhearted book for people who have come up against real obstacles in life and need some structure, fortitude, and reassurance to move on in a positive way. We are all vulnerable and subject to feeling shot down in life as part of the human condition. Whether from a diagnosis out of the blue or from the loss of a loved one through death or divorce or from a job loss that can have not only a financial impact but can deliver a blow to our identity, we all have the need at times to take stock and reassess.

From her own experiences, Wanda Huntington is helping others take back their agency by focusing on conducting their own self-inventory and putting in the hard work that will lead to positive outcomes. It is easy to just get stuck after a major blow.

Huntington’s book seeks to help readers in finding the insight and power to make meaningful changes from the inside out.

In 2017, a life-altering event led Wanda to discover that to truly live a life in balance, you must first give yourself permission to not only move past being a victim and on to being a survivor, you must move beyond surviving and learn how to thrive again. While discovering this, she developed the concept of our Internal Trifecta. If you Google “Internal Trifecta,” it will bring you to her website—the first step to a Life in Balance.



Leadership With A Purpose: Motivating Your Engineers  

About Leadership With A Purpose: Motivating Your Engineers

Effectively motivating, inspiring and leading engineering professionals is about putting people first. Here’s how you do it.

In today’s world, effectively motivating and managing highly intelligent technology professionals is challenging. Around the world, people are more educated, informed and highly social about their careers and employers, making retention and employee happiness a full-time job. In fact, companies are beginning to recognize these impacts and have begun employing more “PeopleOps” type human resources professionals to tackle this head-on.

The reality is that most engineers don’t leave jobs, they leave managers. While having a swanky and modern human resources strategy helps keep the company on the cutting edge of benefits and overall happiness, it does not solve the root problem – having good managers that motivate engineering teams.

In the remote and global workforce that we all participate in, establishing a healthy work culture with safe boundaries is an ongoing task that cannot be forced. Add in the complexities of global cultural differences and political phenomena; it’s every leader’s nightmare to manage well.

This book will cover what makes an engineering culture, how to cultivate it, and how to build trust with your teams.
After reading this book, you can effectively motivate, inspire and lead engineering professionals of all levels that are happy and loyal to you.

With years of experience within the software engineering and technology sectors, Robert Murphy has become an expert in building healthy company cultures and motivating engineering professionals.

Once deemed “The King of Culture” by a previous employer, he is passionate about helping other technology leaders on their mission to build highly effective teams. In this debut book, Robert describes his proven methods and provides a roadmap to successful leadership with a purpose!

Author Bio:
When asked about the greatest motivation in his life, Robert Murphy reflected upon his career and dedicated that title to his mother. At the young age of 14, he stepped into the world of software engineering as an amateur programmer. Robert’s mother wholeheartedly supported his ventures, and he eventually became an entrepreneur of online text-based games. It was the combination of early-on successes and his mother’s undying encouragement that fueled his ambition and passion for the industry.

Backed by years of experience within the technology sector, Robert has served in various capacities that added to his prowess in software engineering, business development, team building, and people management. He has built his own successful businesses from the ground up and played a pivotal part in the growth of other companies. Throughout multiple leadership roles, Robert noticed one secret ingredient that made all the difference in the propensity of any business— company culture.

Celebrated for his people-first leadership style, Robert was often referred to as ‘The King of Culture’ by a previous employer. From proper recognition and compensation to expert-level professional development, he became renowned for his ability to develop staff talent and leverage that expertise for the betterment of any company. Robert once experienced the strife many inexperienced leaders face in the software engineering field, including apathetic and unmotivated team members.

With a passion for helping others, Robert has now turned his attention to helping leaders within the technology field establish healthy company cultures and motivate intelligent but underperforming, engineering professionals. Although Leadership with a Purpose: Motivating Your Engineers is his first book, he has written numerous blog posts and case studies on the subject.

When he is away from the office, Robert enjoys relaxing by heading outdoors to fish or hunt. As a pilot, he also loves dedicating much of his time to maintaining his skills as an aviator. He can often be found heading out on flights to explore the country. When the weather isn’t cooperating, he feels content to stay at home in his house located in Central Florida to experience lazy mornings, evenings in the hot tub, and a single malt scotch by the fire. Even when he is not working, Robert is consistently researching his industry to stay updated on today’s best practices in engineering and proven trends in culture building.



Let’s shop in our own closet: How to build a capsule wardrobe and find our style  

About Let’s shop in our own closet: How to build a capsule wardrobe and find our style

There may be a great many reasons for the wardrobe problem, but this is what the symptoms look like:

1 The time spent by the closet irritates you. You are one of those people who want to spend their brainpower on cryptos or on planting roses, while looking first-rate.

2 You’ve become environmentally concerned. The army of planet-defenders is your best friend. You are top-rate at clearing your closet, but have no idea what to do with emptiness.

3 Torture. Every time you are invited to go out there it is. You are tormented by trying to build a look and the result is that you wear the same look over and over again. The change of seasons may be quite an agony for some people too. It’s because you have just managed and adapted to one, just barely put together a couple of looks and wham! Here comes spring. You’ve nothing against spring; you were even waiting for it. But now you have to go through the whole painful process again and come up with some new outfits. All in all, your closet is full and happy and you feel lonely.

4 Somewhere deep down, you feel that it is much more convenient not to change anything; it is easier to simply complain and leave everything as it is. So you are in denial and your brain conveniently provides a very convincing idea that “you can’t solve the wardrobe problem without $.”

5 You are shy, thinking that style is only for the slim and fit to make them even more perfect. These are in a minority. The rest of us realize that style is a friend of regular women who laugh a lot and are dappled with expression lines; who swell up in the mornings and see red streaks on their face; who have no stamina for a healthy diet, lymphatic drainage exercises or jogging.

6 You may be spontaneous. It seems you had a list when you started shopping, but, somehow or other, it just got away from you. What you’d really like is a wardrobe that is pretty and small.
Personally, I was close to problems # 3 and 6. Shopping did not produce beauty for me and I kept doing it over and over. I kept hitting the same button, so the money just kept pouring away. The best thing was – I did not give up! I kept running after yet another top, even though the result was exactly nil.

Yes, most people do just that. Chaos in the closet is the spring board to good appearance. The closet disappoints, but it also gets the person ready for the idea that you really do have to study the laws of style. It is hard, it’s almost unbearable, but it’s got to be done. There are classes. Even though, in the end, they scare you off even worse. After all, they make you rob yourself of an enormous amount of time, and not just yourself, but your family and all the things you love to do.

That is why, sometimes, you can trust someone else. Me, for example. You don’t know me; it is unclear why you should pay me, but I have studied all aspects of fighting chaos in the closet for nine years. I worked out all the ins and outs of taming an unruly wardrobe and now I inspire people to build capsules.

Going to a stylist is a good solution, but it’s like tossing a coin: you might become prettier or just poorer; will your tastes be compatible? Investing in your own knowledge, on the other hand, is forever. So, those of you who want to solve their wardrobe problem – just keep reading.

First, let me tell you a truth. Solving the wardrobe problem requires some minimal strategy at the very beginning. It’s not hard; it’s actually fun. You have to decide, right now, to become stylish.

Your first investment is a few dollars you paid for this book. That’s all, for now. You key tools in conquering the world are YOU and your closet. We’ll analyze your wardrobe to the fullest extent, so that every element works to give you beauty and good vibes.

Now, it’s time to be surprised. The first stage in preparing to be stylish is over.

My dear ladies, this is where the fun begins!

Author Bio:
I’m a graphic artist by day and author by night, writing real, raw, racy romance. My book boyfriends are inked heroes who like fat, fun, and feisty women (sounds familiar).

After dieting since the age of ten, I swapped my slimming club for a writing group and never looked back. My goal is to spread body positivity through my fat and fabulous curvy heroines with a good serving of British humour on the side (not forgetting an extra helping of alpha goodness).

On the very rare occasion I’m not working in my day job…or night job as a writer, I'll be living my best life in the heart of England with my other half, two wildlings (otherwise known as Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee), and a randy cavalier pup.

My serious book fetish travels with me in our tin cruiser as we roam the English countryside. You’ll usually find me in a field somewhere or curled up on the sofa with a coffee (wine), blanket and dog to keep me cozy, and a good steamy book to make me w—warm.



Into the Rhubarb  

About Into the Rhubarb

“Into the rhubarb: headed off the road; to get into trouble; a brawl, argument, or squabble.”

In her fifth volume of poetry, Carla Coles once again brings us into her inimitable inner world. This time, along with her odes to the pleasures of coffee and cake and writing, she delves into the darker emotions of betrayal, endings, and coming through the fire with her sense of humour intact and her gift with words honed to a new level of insight.

“Whether the subject matter is painful, wonderful, chaotically confusing, or simply the inappropriating of her own kaleidoscopic inner culture, Carla’s perfectly parsed insights are never anything less than a delight. And sometimes there’s a sly lesson about how to be human in an inhuman world.” ~ Bruce Barber,author of Jetsam: New and Collected Fictions

She – along with her partner, Leigh – run the famed The Little Prince Cinema, recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's smallest cinema.

Carla, by her own accounts, is not a believable character. She has an unnatural fondness for pudding and always carries a cake fork with her in case of just such emergencies. Queries on whether she wants another coffee are always answered with an enthusiastic yes. Carla likes to think she is hilarious … Carla's friends have said they think it's endearing that she finds herself hilarious.
