About The Project Manifesto: Transforming Your Life and Work with Critical Chain Values:How can your bureaucratic organization achieve world-class speed and productivity? How can you better balance your time at home and at work? How can you spend time on the things you love, while at the same time keeping what you need?
Roger Wilson must answer these questions when he goes from a dead-end job at Malloy Enterprises to managing Malloy’s most urgent and important project, a secret development effort code-named “Aurora.” As Aurora’s deadline looms ever closer, Roger has to figure out how to lead his team to success in the face of Malloy’s inertia. At the same time, he struggles to keep his family together and to manage a revolutionary technology that seems to have ideas of its own.
The Aurora team discovers that success is only possible when they challenge the basic values that underlie their day-to-day work. Their new values, the “Project Manifesto,” coupled with their new critical chain scheduling approach, lead to dramatic improvements in speed and productivity. In the process, Roger’s own personal manifesto takes his family and his career in directions he would never have imagined.

- Where All the Rivers Run (Book 3 of the Beautiful-Ugly Trilogy) by James Snyder
About Where All the Rivers Run (Book 3 of the Beautiful-Ugly Trilogy) by James Snyder:After being orphaned at age six, sixteen-year-old Connelly Pierce—who has spent a decade, being passed from family to family, or as often no family at all, but always fighting for her very existence, her right to survive—has given up. Even worse, the system that has controlled her life for all those years is about to give up on her. But just before she is sent into long-term care at a California state mental hospital, a little miracle happens.
An intern at the clinic who has taken an interest in her finds an unopened letter at the bottom of Connelly’s raggedy old knapsack. The letter is from a distant cousin of Connelly’s named Elizabeth Walker, or Liz, who has recently lost her husband Jack, left behind a 57,000 acre ranch in Texas, and has since been looking for Connelly. The intern realizes this is the girl’s last chance. If Cousin Liz won’t help her, or if Connelly won’t accept that help, her life, in any normal sense, may be over. But what the intern doesn’t realize, is that calling that phone number he finds at the bottom of the letter is about to change two women’s lives, forever, in ways neither of them could ever have imagined.

While still a child, his family moved to Napa Valley, California where he attended middle and high school, and began taking writing classes at the local college. He left after a year to join the military, and was a soldier with a tactical mobile operations unit in Germany. It was there, while pulling a Harz mountaintop guard duty one night during a snowstorm, he had the chance encounter with another soldier that ultimately became the genesis for his military thriller, American Warrior.His second novel is the suspense thriller, Desolation Run. In addition, he has just released the YA trilogy, The Beautiful-Ugly.

- Galdir – A Slave’s Tale by Fredrik Nath
About Galdir – A Slave’s Tale by Fredrik Nath
“Highly Commended”
in the Yeovil Literary Prize 2011A Roman slave with a serpent tattoo uncovers his true barbarian identity… A battle for power among Frankish warlords leads to a mass exodus across the Rhine… All the while, Marcus Aurelius’ Roman army pushes further north, changing everything. These three events meet in a cataclysm that changes the course of history. In the background, the ageing witch Chlotsuintha predicts it all. Or is she the one pulling the strings to shape her people’s future?
When Sextus escapes Rome with a pocketful of gold and a knife, how could he even have dreamt of what the fates might have in store for him?
Pursued by Roman soldiers for the murder of his master, Sextus enlists the help of a retired gladiator, and falls in love with the gladiator’s niece. An invading German army drives them further north, where Sextus discovers his true birthright, and his real name – Galdir. He becomes caught up in a bitter feud as one of the heirs of a dead Frankish warlord; but the blood feud must be put aside when the Romans invade and besiege the Frankish capital.
‘Galdir’ is enthralling Roman fiction – a tale of love, brutal battles and conflict, in which a mystical prophecy winds its way through an epic saga of struggle against Rome, and the consequences of resistance by the Frankish people, its Warlord and its witches.

So hard to write about myself! But writing this book has been an amazing journey of sharing something that seems to me to be very important. I have the idea that all the turmoil that we humans create for ourselves and for the world is the result of not having properly integrated the sexual nature of our bodies into day to day life. We’ve been taught to be ashamed of our bodies rather than to be grateful for the wondrous, miraculous creation that our bodies are. This book was written to support the reader to come back to this simple understanding and appreciation for the body because in doing that, love will flow through you more powerfully and more purely. This book is the first in a series of at least three.A New Way of Loving is a post from Awesome Gang

You don’t have to believe in ghosts…until you meet one.
Once again Kelly, Scott, Austin and Zoey are listening to the Spirit Radio when they hear a cry for help from a mother whose four-year-old daughter, Emma went missing in the middle of a busy lobby at the infamous Stanley Hotel. But time traveling back to 1911 is a lot more complicated than the three trips they had taken earlier in the summer. They have to find appropriate clothes and figure out a way to pay for their stay. When they hear about a tragic fire that hurt several hotel employees, the teens take advantage of the hotel’s desperation and get jobs working as lady’s maids and houseboys so they can keep an eye on Emma and her family.
Even though they know that The Stanley Hotel is possibly the most haunted place in the U.S., the four teenagers are a little creeped out when they hear ghostly children running in the halls, singing songs and even a mysterious ball that keeps showing up in their room. How could a hotel that is only two years old already be haunted? Most importantly, how can they stop Emma from becoming one of the ghosts that are trapped inside the luxurious hotel?
Midway through their first summer together, they celebrate the Fourth of July twice in one year. As they try to figure out the mystery of Emma’s disappearance, they bump in some famous people and experience several historical events. But ultimately, it’s their trust in each other and the friendship that has been forged by two unique experiences no one else on the planet has ever done…talk with dead people and time travel to the past. Their first trip back to 1966 had stopped the murder of a teenager from their school. Their next trip to 1980 had tested their courage as they were brought face-to-face with a man who was determined to murder an entire family. Their last trip to 1927 had saved the life of a handsome young man who had run away to a traveling circus. Zoey, the former mean girl of South Beach High School, suffered her first heartbreak by falling in love with a man from the wrong century.
Back in 1911 there are no TV news crawlers or Amber Alerts like we see along the interstate highways today. Instead, Kelly, Scott, Austin and Zoey must try to be in the right place at the right time to stop the tragedy of Emma’s disappearance from happening. They follow her and her family around while enjoying life among the rich and famous. They arrive as skeptics, but leave as believers when all four teens have ghostly encounters. Kelly and Austin grow closer as they share fireworks shows, first on the sand in Fort Myers Beach and second on a blanket in the Rocky Mountains. But is their romance doomed almost as soon as it began?
When their plans go wrong, they face their first defeat. The same danger that takes Emma now threatens the teens when one of their own is captured in a killer’s web. Will they be able to save Emma? Or will they join her as permanent guests in the ghostly halls of The Stanley Hotel?
