Curiosity Kills


Book Description

Inexperience will get this new werewolf killed! Sara Flores had saved five lives in the year since she was turned — so she wasn’t worried about rescuing a student hacker hiding from goons. Boy, was she wrong! Her “make it up as you go” strategy isn’t working against an enemy with $ billions and no qualms whatsoever about killing to make problems disappear. Against all that, she’s one semi-self-trained woman armed only with two guns, a big honking knife and 42 very sharp canine teeth. Worse -- Sara likes the college kid. His only workout before was typing keys on a computer, but now... he’s trying his best to help. He doesn’t deserve to join her in an unmarked dirt grave in the desert outside of Tulsa. It’s time to pull on her big-girl pants and show these evildoers just who is the big bad wolf in town. "This girl doesn't mess around -- the more I read the more I want!" --The International Review of Books "Refreshingly original! Sara reminds me of Jane Yellowrock -- strong, mysterious, loyal and a loner." -- MJ Silversmith, Discovery

Cracking the Curiosity Code


Book Description

Everyone is born curious. So, what happens? Why do some people become less curious than others? For individuals, leaders, and companies to be successful, they must determine the things that hold curiosity hostage. Think of the most innovative companies and you will notice they employ people who do not accept the status quo, they aren’t reluctant to change, they evolve with the times, they look for problems to solve, and focus on asking questions. Drawing on decades research and incorporating interviews from some of the top leaders of our time, Hamilton examines the factors that impact curiosity including fear, assumptions, technology, and environment (FATE). Through her ground-breaking research, she has created the Curiosity Code Index (CCI) assessment to determine how these factors have impacted curiosity and to provide an action plan to transform individuals and organizations to help improve areas impacted by curiosity, including innovation, engagement, creativity, and productivity. “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious” – Albert Einstein
