Misdirection: How Misaligned Incentives, Corporate Greed and Irresponsibility Caused a Blind Spot on Your P&L by Michael M. Adams

In this book I am casting a compelling vision of the future, a new opportunity of sorts, as opposed to showing you incremental improvements on what you already do today. This book will give you the insight on what corrupts your health plan, why all the players in this game are incentivized when you pay more and why you have been intentionally kept in the dark.

I not only reveal all the hidden agendas, but I detail actionable insight on what you can do to correct it. After reading this book, you will realize that your healthcare renewal increase is optional, what to look for when seeking out advise, and how to give your employees the best healthcare plan they have ever had.

The Cause of Darkness– A Story of the Civil War by John W. Bebout

“I felt this was one of the best historical fiction stories I have ever read with exceedingly high tension as well as low points all mixed with dramatic twists and turns which produced a cornucopia of emotions.” –Bruce Miller, Team Golfwell, member Independent Book Publishers Association

‘The Cause of Darkness’ blends history with fiction and encompasses a tragic time during the Civil War that residents of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia still call to this day ‘the burning.’ It tells the story of a 16 year-old boy named Teddy Miller who comes of age during this brutal time. Teddy’s single-minded quest to save his father from execution as a spy reads like a grand adventure, full of gun fights, horse chases and 19th century justice. There is even a beautiful Pinkerton detective who plays a major role in Teddy’s exploits. But nearly all the adult characters act solely in their own self-interest and few have Teddy’s welfare at heart. Teddy takes actions to save his father which have consequences that he cannot fully comprehend; and it is the consequences of these actions that drive the novel to its conclusion.

Why do I write?
I love telling stories and of course listening to them too. I feel storytelling is an essential part of what it means to be human. We have an inherent need to share our human experience as well as the magnificent creations of our imagination. A good story is like a drink of cool water after a long thirst. It quenches a yearning within the soul. Writing for me is therefore a spiritual outlet which brings me, at least temporarily, in communion with my higher self. Each time words come to my mind seemingly from thin air I am reminded of the infinite source that flows through all creation.

Rodzil LaBraun is a creative storyteller that has been inventing unique worlds and alternate realities all his life. He writes what he likes to read: inventive environments, imaginative points of view, and believable characters. He proposes that a far fetched world does not mean that the characters must have extreme personalities or repeatedly make unwise decisions. As humans we spend most of our life in the mundane, but we ourselves are far from boring. We like to escape to new worlds and meet new characters with which we can relate.

His works of fiction include individual books and series in harem adventure, science fiction, and urban fantasy. Intrigued by constructing realistic adaptions of the mythological, paranormal, apocalyptic and superhuman, Rodzil’s stories are always unique.

Rodzil LaBraun resides in the Washington DC area with his lovely wife Amelia. They met through online dating and have been happy together for more than a decade. Hosting social groups enabled them to acquire many friends when they first moved into the area and now call the region their permanent home. Most of their vacations are spent on the island of Saint Lucia where Amelia grew up.

Fun fact: Amelia posed for the cover of one of the published novels.
