Book Description

This novel and accompanying leadership training manual makes leadership training more than just a leadership development experience; it makes it fun. Five characters, representing the five Blake-Mouton leadership styles, vie for leadership as they struggle to survive and save their town and people from a seemingly overwhelming evil. The action in the novel parallels the sessions in a leadership-training workshop conducted for many years at Miami-Dade Community College, the largest community college in the nation. A manual on Leadership follows the novel, in which the characters' behavior in the novel is used to illustrate various leadership concepts and skills. Using the novel and manual you may also assess your own typical leadership style and effectiveness.

Book Description

The Island nation of Ma-Ural has long been a place of peace and prosperity, with vast deposits of precious gems and mythril ore—valuable for its magical properties and heavily sought after on the mainland—but perhaps its greatest resource is opportunity. It has always been a place of sanctuary and rebirth, and host to many adventurers seeking not only their second-chance in life but a chance at immortality, as they begin their pilgrimage to the hidden city of Mysrik. But times are changing. Ma-Ural’s long established peace has been crumbling, with tensions rising between the east and west, between races, and between simple magic users and one who is willing to stop at nothing to gain all the power of Mysrik for his own nefarious purposes. Standing in his way are an unlikely group of companions brought together by circumstance: Elaria, a naïve and virtuous paladin, hoping to make a name for herself and honour both her training and her oath; Hoots, a runaway gnome more powerful than her diminutive form would suggest; Trit, a half-elf bard looking for answers about his family; and “Carion,” a powerful demon-kin, haunted by a past so dark he might never escape it, even if he manages to live forever.

Book Description

Haddie Green’s father, an archaeologist, has been kidnapped in the jungles of Colombia while searching for the Skull of the Zipa. So, instead of attending her senior prom like a typical teenager, Haddie finds herself in Colombia following cryptic clues in her father’s journal to find the valuable artifact hoping they will lead her to him. But within hours of arriving, Haddie realizes finding the relic will be no easy task. Now a target of the same group of mercenaries who kidnapped her father, Haddie will have to rely on her wits, her Krav Maga self-defense training, and the help of a handsome bush pilot she meets along the way.
