Legend: A Cinderella Retelling by Rebecca Reddell  

About Legend: A Cinderella Retelling by Rebecca Reddell

War is waging at the border of the Kingdom of Dalry, but Cassie Alasdair is about to come eye to eye with an even more powerful enemy.

After the last war, when magic destroyed half the world, four queens were given the chance to rule in peace, abolishing the arcane use. The remaining land was split into four kingdoms, and harmony became the main objective. For a century, the Kingdom of Dalry has lived with its neighbors without issue, but that is about to change.

Living simply, as the new kingdom dictates, Cassie is used to the days of cleaning up after her annoying stepmother and diabolical step-siblings. For the most part, she’s able to ignore her father’s flighty dismissal. However, the approaching war and a new friend remind her of how much she misses the family she used to have.

Simon is on his way to enter the war and gain his father’s approval. He doesn’t want to sit on the sidelines while others fight the battles he’s more than capable of joining. When he meets Cassie, he begins to wonder what his life will look like after the war ends.

With her father and Simon gone, Cassie becomes involved in another war. An evil witch, set on revenge, takes her hostage. She’s the key to a spell more than two decades in the making. Her only choice is to go along with the plan until she can get free.

The witch has waited a long time to enact her revenge. In a kingdom where magic is outlawed, she had to go into hiding but not before she swore to retaliate against the man who broke her heart. With Cassie, she will be able to rely on a formidable opponent to deliver her vengeance.

Now, Cassie must find a way to defeat the malevolent witch and her resurrected adversary before she loses far more than her glass slippers.

This book was written for numerous reasons, but mostly because i have spent my entire life saturated in fear and self doubt.

I was raised in a very poor family in northern Michigan where the ice, the cold and the circumstances all strengthened my mind and body to go about life striving for more.

I was a professional fighter and trainer for much of my life.

I loved to fight so much, to this day I don’t have the faintest idea of my actual fight record.

Although I had courage in the ring or cage, the other aspects of my life suffered.
And it’s this reason I went about learning the content of this book.
God bless,

Startups Grow With People: How to Pick Partners, Recruit the Top Talent and Build a Company Culture  

About Startups Grow With People: How to Pick Partners, Recruit the Top Talent and Build a Company Culture

A startup creates value by solving a problem through the unique use of new technologies. It holds the potential to scale exponentially. The most complex element in a startup is the people. Make the right people decisions, you will see geometric growth. Make the wrong ones, you will most likely fail.

Startups Grow With People is an easy to read yet rich book that can help you manage the complexity of the top three most important people decisions: Partnering, Recruitment and Culture Building.

Part One: How to Pick Partners will discuss when it is best to go at it solo and when it is best to partner-up; how to choose a co-founder, which indicators and warning signs to look for before making the handshake and when to look for and how to choose investors.

Part Two: How to Recruit the Top Talent will take a look into the most important principles to keep in mind while making the very first hires of the company. You will learn about Employer Value Proposition, narrating the mission of the company, defining the roles, defining the competencies and know-how needed. On the tactical level you will also learn about discovering and contacting potential candidates, the Pinnacle Model for conducting interviews, making a hiring decision and drafting up an offer that will get a “yes”.

Part Three: How to Build a Culture is based on the appreciation that as a company grows in size, the people dynamics start to change rapidly. After a certain point, rather than one-on-one dialogues, the culture of the company becomes what people refer to in deciding their actions. Here, we will look at the Universal Cultural Codes Startups Need, Actions-Rituals-Symbols and Stories, in addition to a whole chapter dedicated to the Culture Shaping Toolbox.

The book makes good use of metaphors and real life examples for clarity. In addition, you will find lists, action plans and frameworks you can immediately start using in your own startup.

The Temptation of Fate by Femi Olawole  

About The Temptation of Fate by Femi Olawole

The Temptation of Fate is a tale of naïve teenagers and ignorant young adults who tempt fate with their rebellious, value-deficient attitudes. These youngsters are never prepared to take responsibilities for their actions because they think the world owes them something. And they are inadvertently encouraged by parents who do not know the difference between parental love and negligence.
JESSICA WEATHERS: A 17 year-old that cannot wait to be free from an assumed parental control. But when fate finally presents her with “independence”, she is too overwhelmed to handle it.
LAKEERA WATSON: This 16 year-old teenager thinks all that glitters is gold. Due to her ignorance and naivety, she gets easily lured into sex by her mother’s boyfriend. But the mother, in spite of her reckless indiscretion, has “been there, done that” and will not want a case of history repeating itself.
ERIC TURNER: A 23 year-old young adult rises up through “thick and thin” in a notorious Chicago south-side neighborhood to become a health care professional. He however commits some moral and legal blunders that threaten to derail everything, for which he has worked.
MARY MILLER: Turner’s mother is a strong woman that struggles against all odds and stereotypes to ensure the emancipation of her kids from a ghetto existence. But when her son suddenly appears to be on a downward spiral, she springs into action not only to save him from going to jail but also to avoid his relapse into a life of doldrums.

Goody Two Shoes  

About Goody Two Shoes

Take one American singer who doesn’t believe in falling in love…

Josh McInnes’ biological clock is ticking and he wants to get married—now. After 20 years singing soppy love songs, he knows that there is no such thing as romantic love. There’s only hormones and lust. At thirty-five, he’s tired of his playboy lifestyle. He wants a wife who isn’t interested in fame, money, or romance. A sensible wife, who values commitment. He wants a partnership, a friendship, and none of the craziness that goes with falling in love. As far as he can see, there’s only one way to get exactly what he wants—he needs an arranged marriage.

…add a Scottish librarian who has given up on ever falling in love…

Caroline Patterson terrifies men. With her no-nonsense attitude, and ice queen demeanour, she’s in control of everything—and everyone—around her. Her sensible shoes and grey skirt suits act like a force field, repelling male attention. At thirty-one, she can’t remember the last time she went on a date and is beginning to think she’ll never have a family of her own. When an American stranger approaches Caroline with a marriage proposal that resembles a business contract, she quickly accepts. She doesn’t expect romance. But she does expect to control each and every detail of their lives together. Because as life has taught her—if you aren’t in control, bad things happen.

…and you get romance Invertary style!

Josh and Caroline learn the hard way that falling in love isn’t something you can avoid. And it definitely isn’t something you can control. Their well laid plans are about to degenerate into chaos, as they fall in love the Scottish way.

I grew up in Scotland, but after I met my Dutch husband in America we decided to move to New Zealand and that’s where we’ve settled. We bought a patch of land that we’ve filled with other people’s unwanted animals – we didn’t advertise for them, they found us! So far we have three miniature horses (we took in two and were surprised 11 months later when a third appeared – yep, we know nothing about horses!), three anti-social alpacas, a grumpy cow, one pet sheep who wants to live in the house, a crazy goat who keeps eating my manuscripts and an escape artist chicken who breaks into our house through the cat flap. And that’s just the pets who live outside the house – don’t even get me started on the demented, farting dog who keeps burying my shoes! On top of this I have two small girls, one DIY obsessed husband (I said “obsessed” not “skilled”) and a 92 year old neighbor who thinks she lives with us. In between cuddling animals and herding kids, I write books.



Eris At Rest by Bruce Post  

About Eris At Rest by Bruce Post

Captain Willa Freundlich, her crew, and the remaining passengers on the luxury cruise ship The Eris have taken refuge on Little Ragged, a remote deserted island in the Bahamas. There they work to begin new lives for themselves, growing food and fishing, building shelters and doing everything necessary to create a viable community. But they are not the only ones to survive the collapse of civilization. Unknown enemies appear, and The Eris is a tempting target. A group of marauders from nearby Grand Turk is intent on raiding The Eris for her abundant stores, and they are willing to kill anyone to get what they want. Two Cuban mutineers arrive with a stolen submarine armed with torpedoes. Despite their efforts to discourage these predators, the survivors from The Eris will be forced to defend themselves from deadly attacks.

Dave Sturges and his family and friends must find a way to cross the border into the US where they are imprisoned in a slave labor camp and later forced to follow the crazed rituals of a mad cultist. Attacked by wild animals and insane cannibals they cross the midwestern US in hopes of reaching their families in the Northeast.

For everyone it is a desperate struggle to not only survive, but to thrive.

This is the second book in the Eris Series.
