The SS Rosa delivers a convincing array of suspects – the wife, the mistress, a jealous crew mate. To Ginger’s dismay, her name has been added to the list! With a little help from Ginger’s dog Boss, Ginger and Haley navigate the clues (those wartime operative skills come in handy.) They must solve the case and clear Ginger’s name before they dock–and oh, whatever shall she wear!

When It’s Never About You: The People-Pleaser’s Guide to Reclaiming Your Health, Happiness and Personal Freedom by Ilene S. Cohen, Ph.D.
About When It’s Never About You: The People-Pleaser’s Guide to Reclaiming Your Health, Happiness and Personal Freedom by Ilene S. Cohen, Ph.D.
Is being a people-pleaser (a.k.a., conflict avoider, pushover, approval-seeker, doormat, etc.) ruining your life?
Do you sometimes feel as if you exist only to satisfy others’ wants and needs,
but never your own?
Is your physical, mental, and emotional health suffering as a result?
Everyone loves a people-pleaser. They’re always willing to help, to stay late, to fill in, to “go along.” But if you’re one of them, you often end up feeling violated, ignored, disrespected, and disconnected—from life and others. Silently enduring the ongoing and relentless invalidation of who you are and what you want will reliably wreak havoc on your health and the health of your relationships.
So, are you ready to put less “Yes” and more “You” in your life?
In When It’s Never About You, psychotherapist Ilene S. Cohen uses real-world examples and activities to help you take a systemic look at people-pleasing. You’ll learn…
• How to reclaim a strong and balanced sense of self—while still being a “good person.”
• How to break the harmful behavior patterns that keep you from being heard, listened to and respected.
• Specific strategies for transforming yourself from selfless to “self-full.”
• How to go from feeling “vanished” to being clearly differentiated.
• How to get what you want and need—while actually earning even more respect from others.
Tired of disappearing from life? Ready for the “pleasing prescription”? When It’s Never About You will give you the tools and confidence to put yourself first, while bringing the best YOU to those who depend on you!

What is the Woman Saying – Lessons Learnt from Biblical Women
About What is the Woman Saying – Lessons Learnt from Biblical Women
A woman’s voice is one of the most powerful voices that anyone can listen to. For years some societies and even in the Christian realm they have been marginalized.

In this book, you will explore various women of the bible and see the depth of their ‘Words’ and ‘Actions’ and how it can build your relationship with your God, spouse, family and friends.

Hi, I’m Carla Chadwick. In 2016 I reconnected with an old friend, Terry Wilson, not realizing that would propel me into the world of children’s books. I’m delighted to have joined forces with him to create the Lucky the Talking Bird series. By incorporating images of Lucky the rescued parrot with Terry’s photos from decades of world travel and photographing animals for pet magazines, we’ve created a series for children that is designed to both entertain and teach.
Lucky is a real bird, a red-crowned Amazon parrot that just happens to be on the endangered species list. Terry rescued him in 2006, when Lucky was just a tiny baby that had fallen out of a tree. He now lives with Terry, who can vouch for the fact that Lucky is quite a scamp. It doesn’t take much to infuse Lucky with character in our books–it’s already there.

The Invisible Leader: Transform Your Life, Work, and Organization with the Power of Authentic Purpose
About The Invisible Leader: Transform Your Life, Work, and Organization with the Power of Authentic Purpose
The best leaders aren’t people.
Instead, innovative and emerging research shows that a compelling and other-centered authentic purpose – “The Invisible Leader”- may be the most powerful influencer of our behaviors, attitudes, and motivation in organizations, work, school, and life.
Yet despite the increasing evidence of purpose’s power, many of the organizations, systems, and institutions which dominate human life aren’t built to elicit and leverage the fundamental human search for purpose and meaning.
In “The Invisible Leader,” international speaker, trainer, and organizational performance scholar Zach Mercurio shows business leaders, educators, students, athletes, and parents how to discover, clarify, and deliver their reason for existence―their authentic purpose.
“The Invisible Leader” is a unique and compelling combination of practical tools, storytelling, research, and case studies which form the basis of a powerful new approach to leadership.
