About The Real Deal: Get Known for Your Genuine Expertise in an Era of Bullsh*t Gurus

GET KNOWN FOR WHAT YOU KNOW BEST.

In an era where anyone can claim “guru” status, it’s time for real-deal experts to push their way up to the mic and reclaim airtime from the phoneys. The Real Deal is a simple, no-nonsense guide to building a personal brand, audience, and client base around your hard-earned expertise.

– Learn to nurture your new audience to become paying clients

This time-tested content marketing approach will put you — and your expertise — in the spotlight.

About Cross Winds: Adventure and Entrepreneurship in the Russian Far East

A timeless and inspirational exploration of human conflict, determination, and power!

In 1992, at the end of the Cold War, Steven Myers became the first American since Charles Lindbergh in 1931, to pilot an aircraft into the Russian Kamchatka peninsula. There he formed one of the first post-Soviet era joint ventures—a pioneering, expansive, business enterprise with the potential to transform the lives of the people of the Russian Far East.

Steve’s remarkable true story recounts the dramatic adventure, courageous entrepreneurship, and intrigue in the creation of a breakthrough business in a remote corner of the world, a wonderous place few people have been to or know anything about.

This book will inspire adventurers, aviators, entrepreneurs, business leaders, politicians, and diplomats to push past their fears and take command of their dreams. After all, “the cornerstone of courage is optimism.”

About Whalemoon

For as long as anyone can remember the islanders of Brodthrop Atoll have lived in peace. The still airs keep the sailors away and the dance of the whalepike calms the seas. When Phehl’s turn came to be pike keeper, she looked forward to long days of watching the ocean for whale spouts and tending the small creatures that inhabit the lagoon. But when a frenzied shark interrupts the ceremony and a strange girl washes up on Whalegrave Beach, the winds begin shifting and more strangers are quick to arrive. Things turn dangerous and Phehl must choose between disappointing her people and protecting her newfound friend.

About When Michelle Met the Queen by Shelley Dieterichs and Pauline Shore

When Michelle Met the Queen is a charming story of how Michelle Obama’s and Queen Elizabeth II’s families linked with one another across time. After the first Queen Elizabeth of England’s death, Britain became involved in the slave trade from Africa to the colonies. First Lady Michelle Obama’s great, great grandfather was a slave, and it was after many years of struggle and hardship that her family finally saw blacks gain freedom in the U.S.
Shelley and Pauline believe it is the responsibility of whites to expose the injustices perpetrated against people of color over the centuries, and to stand up for the resulting injustice and inequity we see today. They know you will want copies of this interesting and timely story.

Announcing the arrival of the new children’s book When Michelle Met the Queen!
Co-authors, Pauline Shore who lives in Stratford, Ontario, and Shelley Dieterichs who lives in St. Louis, Missouri, met many years ago when Shelley and her husband travelled to Stratford to attend the Stratford Theatre Festival. Both Pauline and Shelley shared their response to seeing the photos of Michelle Obama and the Queen warmly greeting one another when these gracious ladies met in England, in 2009. Pauline and Shelley created this story for children around that event – but felt that it would appeal to children from 8 to 80!

About Judas Blaze by Tomson Cobb

Trust is a word rarely used within the murky world of Espionage and Secret Intelligence.

In this conspiracy thriller, the final part of the first Jago Hale trilogy, the action moves from Argentina to the West Coast of the USA and finally back to London, where Jago aims to confront the traitor within the UK government and finally establish the identity of the killer of his wife and unborn child.

With the help of his two colleagues from the CIA and Mossad, Jago closes in on the criminal organisation they call Chetwynd. Following an undercover entry into the estancia of the financial mastermind of the group, he and his special-forces team are forced to fight their way to safety. From the information they acquire there, they fly to California to stop an act of terrorism to destroy the US Navy fleet based in San Diego designed by Chetwynd and their associates within the Chinese government, but little does he know that the mystery female assassin that has been killing Jago’s colleagues is hot on his heels. As well as becoming fixated on Jago, a journalist and undercover spy for MI6, the bisexual killer also has her own reasons to find the identity of the man who put out a contract on her life.

Dr. Maura Cambridge was up to her eyeballs in student loans. When the opportunity emerges to wipe the slate clean by participating in a contest, who was she to say no? A wild adventure and a chance to escape before adulting in the ‘real world’ seems ideal… until she was partnered with the brooding soldier who was scowling at her.

Jeremy Hood had a bone to pick with everyone, including his skittish teammate. Labeling the world-weary soldier as sour or jaded didn’t seem to be the right description. Everyone has a story and secrets, but when they become too much to handle for even him? Could a change of scenery and a pinch of destiny be just what the doctor ordered?
