"Musicians Johnny 'Whoops' Watson and Billy Bates and their band, Conflict, again find themselves navigating treacherous ground when the life of their manager, mentor and friend is threatened by an unknown adversary. Can they aid their friend and survive the danger while still successfully pursuing their dream of a life in music?"
"Conflict in the City is the first novel in the Conflict Series which blends classic L.A. noir with the vibrant modern music scene. Johnny 'Whoops' Watson and Billy Bates, young guitarists/singers and their band, Conflict, are playing clubs in Los Angeles where the days of rock's zenith have faded but the hopes and dreams of aspiring musicians haven't. Conflict is struggling and chaos ensues when someone close to the band is killed. Johnny and Billy are swept up in the mystery, ill-prepared as they are to confront it."
"On a beautiful July day in Atlanta, Bill Johnson was walking to the subway station with two colleagues when a lone gunman jumped out of the shadows and shot all three of them. Bill was the lucky one. The bullet that struck him entered one temple and exited the other, destroying his optic nerve. The other two men were killed. Now profoundly blind, Bill had to learn to navigate this new, dark world. And he wanted to do it as a fully independent man, just as he had before. For Bill, it was a challenge but not a problem. In fact, just seven months after the shooting, he went snow skiing. Bill's extraordinary journey will inspire and delight as you witness him accept his new reality, embrace new ways of doing things, and find wholeness and healing in the midst of the struggles to return to a full and independent life."
"An astounding 70% of new products fail--a number that has remained stubbornly high for the last thirty years. Why all this failure? Did complicated technologies simply not work? Did financial backers not fork over enough cash? Was the quality bad? No to all of the above. These products failed because they missed hitting a viable market. If You Build it Will They Come? a new book by seasoned CEO and investor turned professor, Rob Adams, explains exactly how this failure can be averted. By applying the simple, proven Market Testing strategy outlined in If You Build it Will They Come?, entrepreneurs and managers can dramatically improve their success rate for finding new markets and launching new products. MARKET TESTING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING: Book describes a simple, step-by-step guide to systematically uncovering the market for any product including: How to personally interview at least 100 people in the target audience; how to determine the target customers best alternatives and substitutes for your new product; and how to quickly gather information on competitors, anecdotal evidence, expert opinions, growth rate of the target market, etc."
"The book is organized into six lessons: 1. Commit: Make and honor promises. We start our gardens with great visions and bold enthusiasm, but if we are unwilling to deal with problems and differences, we will never enjoy a bountiful harvest. 2. Grow: Cultivate your strengths. If we don't nurture our personal strengths and abilities, we won't be well prepared to take on our gardening tasks. The most successful gardeners know they must invest time in reflection, learning and improvement. 3. Nurture: Do the work of loving. Marriage can grow from a handful of seeds to a garden filled with colorful, radiant life. We may need to increase the light of encouragement, the fertilizer of time spent together, and the water of kindness. 4. Understand: Cultivate compassion for your partner. At times we'll get sunburned, poked by thorns, and bitten by bugs. During difficult and painful times, we can be gardening partners who respond to each others pains rather than scold for not using sunscreen or being more careful. 5. Solve: Turn differences into blessings. We may have very different visions. If we choose to stay calm, listen attentively, understand our partner's view, and use creativity, it's possible to turn differences into strengths. 6. Serve: Give back to your community. Just as you might share your tomatoes and zucchini with neighbors, our marriages are strengthened by sharing our time and resources to make our whole world blossom."
"After fleeing to Paris to escape communist rule, Polish émigré and piano player Jerzy Wozzeck finds it nearly impossible to support his family on his low-paying bistro gigs. So when a friend offers a fat payoff for handling a string of deliveries, Jerzy quickly finds himself in the uneasy employ of an anonymous suit and his sensual assistant. With a couple of flawless jobs under his belt, Jerzy starts living the good life—until, on one such run, he stumbles across a corpse and realizes his benefactors will go to any lengths to protect their operations.
To ensure his loyalty, Jerzy’s patrons ply him with every possible temptation, from the purest drugs to the most willing women—and he begins selling his soul piece by piece to maintain his illusion of prosperity. But when rival crime lords and hit men enter the fray, Jerzy plots to escape his boss’s dirty dealings—only to discover he’s in too deep to get out alive."
