Book Description

Rina is a warrior elf from a long class of shadow warrior elves on the planet Xibos, a world populated by elves, griffons, dragons, giants, pixies, fairies, trolls, merfolk, centaurs, and other fantastical creatures. They’ve recently had visitors from a whole other planetary system who call Xibos a primitive elf world. But Rina doesn’t believe they are a primitive people in the least as she fights for right and though she earns much gold from her work, she also takes on cases where there is no hope of reward—just because it's something she must do. Fighting is in her blood. And she has a magic trick up her leather sleeve. She is all about work and no play, so when she takes on the mission of rescuing a princess from a tower—if she even really needs rescuing—Rina ends up meeting a champion elf knight—who also rights wrongs. But he works for the king of Castle Grande of the Wild Meadowlands elves and she's not sure they have the princess's best interests at heart. Artur serves as the king's champion from a long class of champions of the Wild Meadowlands elves when he encounters a warrior elf fighting dark arts knights all on her own. He watches in fascination, until he eliminates the last one, and he's not sure what to think of her. Does she have the princess's welfare in mind? Or some darker purpose? He admires Rina, but he doesn’t trust her. Yet it appears they have a common enemy and until that's resolved, he'll watch her back and hope she watches his!

Book Description

Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success shows how failure is truly an opportunity, and not the final nail in your coffin of hope. In this new perspective, the analysis of what constitutes success aligns perfectly with Earl Nightingale's proposition that success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Using this truer, more worthwhile meaning for failure allows you to pursue success to its limits. The author acknowledges that there is nothing new to creating success: a worthy ideal, vision, plans, hard work, building an effective team, persistence and character are certainly still required, and Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success is explicit about these. But, like the golfer who changes his grip before winning a dearly sought after first Major championship, sometimes you need to see things a little differently to finally make that yearned for breakthrough to your own success. Herein lies the true value of the material contained in Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success. Supporting the empowering acronym—failure as a Fruitful And Informative Lesson Urging Renewed Effort—the author cleverly uses illustrations and his own poetry before each chapter. These make for an enlightening preview of the coming chapter. The effect on your attention is as much entertaining as it is illuminating, ensuring you get the chapter’s intended message.
