A Seattle detective begins investigating the murder of a sex trafficking survivor in the care of a local nonprofit organization. He unknowingly launches a series of events that reveal founder and CEO Elizabeth Knight and her team are not who they say they are.
A respected advocate and lecturer on human rights issues in her community, Elizabeth is forced to face a past once carefully erased after crafting a future much more fitting to her wealthy family’s legacy.
Following an electrifying career that allowed her to watch red tape, politics, and money enable oppression and corruption around the world, she decided to leave her NYC home for a fresh start on the Pacific Northwest coast. Tragedy strikes five years after beginning her nonprofit work, and she’s forced to stay one step ahead of the Seattle Police Department in a deadly game that threatens her identity, and the lives of those closest to her.
Based on true events, The Fenix Projects follows the journey of a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing care to sex trafficking survivors. Elizabeth has a small team dedicated to providing support, education and awareness for survivors through housing, medical care, scholarships and counseling.
Set against the Seattle skyline, The Fenix Projects is an action packed thriller exposing the dark side of human trafficking in the Pacific Northwest in a high stakes battle for modern vigilante justice.

Every man is born with just one thing: his sovereignty—his power to respond to his environment and his circumstances.
Unfortunately, most men have spent much of their lives giving away that sovereignty. Every time a man passes blame or shirks his responsibility, every time he makes excuses for his performance, and every time he trades his unlimited potential for a little perceived safety and security, he willingly submits himself to the mercy of others.

Is it any wonder that men, in general, seem to have lost their way? You don’t have to look very far to recognize that men don’t seem to possess the same amount of vigor and purpose they once did. Take one sobering statistic—the rate of suicide in men—and you begin to see how damaging the effects of the voluntary subjugation of men to their families, their businesses, and their governments can be.

It’s not hard to understand why we give up control to others—it’s easy and we’re expected to. Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men is a call for men to once again rise up and establish themselves as they once were—a revolution if you will.

Inside the pages of this book, we’ll uncover the battle each man will inevitably engage in, the external forces fighting against the call to masculinity, and the internal struggle all men must overcome.
But make no mistake, this revolution is not a call for men to go their own way and rally against society. It’s a call for men to become fully the men they are meant to be so they may more adequately take care of themselves and those they are responsible for. Men have always been expected to protect, provide, and preside over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. By embodying the thirteen Sovereign Virtues we detail inside, every man will be more capable of fulfilling his masculine duties and responsibilities.

The words in this book go well beyond principle and theory, however, as we build the framework for establishing a battle plan to combat the external and internal threats to our masculine power and give every man the tools, resources, guidance, direction, and ability to reclaim what has always been his: his sovereignty.

Private companies and multinationals have been around since the beginning of recorded history. For both good and ill they have done an immense amount to shape human culture around the world. We have just come through a period in history when communist and socialist societies tried to eliminate or severely constrain private enterprise, but companies are now back, big time.
Consequently, the question now is: ‘What is their role in our global economic and social system?’ Providing goods and services and making a profit for their shareholders are important, but in that process, they also have responsibilities to their stakeholders and the wider society.
Companies are in fact corporate citizens of society; just as individuals are private citizens. They exercise certain rights but also have profound responsibilities. They have to step up as good citizens and use their power and influence to help humanity face the challenges of the future. This book discusses why and how they must do that as a step towards learning to live with modern capitalism.

When she was just a child, Cindy Massey had an out-of-body experience that changed her life and set her on a spiritual path.
One night, three-year-old Cindy drifted up and out of her crib, and suddenly, she was looking down at her own sleeping body. Simultaneously, she saw an awesome, nine-foot spiral of energy connecting her ‘ethereal body’ to her child’s body. “How could something so tall fit inside something so small?” she wondered. She remembers now that she wasn’t afraid, but, even as a child, she simply knew that the energy spiral was her true self, and the physical body she was marveling at was the vessel that carried that awesome energy signature. This incredible moment marked the beginning of Cindy’s lifelong adventure into the world of spirit. This book is Cindy’s story.
In a world filled with work, family, stress, and “to do lists” a mile long, as adults we can easily forget what is truly important. But many of us come to believe that when we leave our physical body, the essence of who we once were moves on...with little or no attachment to our former physical life. When we understand this, our lives take on a different meaning. Adults who have had Near-Death Experiences can often integrate the complex information associated with an out-of-body episode, but for a child, for whom the imprint of a Near-Death Experience endures, it can be confusing. It can take years before that child understands what their experience means. The wisdom Cindy shares in this book can bring clarity and comfort to every person—child or adult—who has had a Near-Death Experience.
Since her first encounter with Spirit at age three, Cindy Massey has had many spiritual shifts. These mysterious events have provided Cindy with both solace and insight into what is genuinely important in life—not only for herself but for every living being on our planet. Cindy felt called to write Evolve: A Near-Death Experience – From Chaos to Clarity, to help all of humanity to heal and to elevate human consciousness.

If You Don’t Claim Extraordinary, Ordinary Claims You! What does it mean to be an Extraordinary Man? What does it mean to live an extraordinary life, and why should you care to find out?
The simple answer is that becoming an Extraordinary Man is the only way to achieve true joy and happiness. That process of becoming involves living passionately, feeling excited about life and prioritizing a life of abundance, meaning and deep fulfillment.
But what is at stake if you do not pursue an extraordinary life? If you don’t claim Extraordinary, ordinary claims you!
An ordinary man lives a mediocre life defined by surviving instead of thriving, where things maybe just OK, but are hardly ever great. Ordinary is where work is an emotionally-draining necessity, where relationships are a challenge and where finances are never too far away from going flat.
At the heart of creating and living an extraordinary life is the process of becoming an Extraordinary Man. The good news is that it’s a lot easier than you might think! In order to have more, we must first become more and The Extraordinary Man lays out the principles and practices that can change your life - literally overnight.
Each new habit, each new strategy applied changes your life for the better. Adopting these time-tested and proven principles will create extraordinary results for you and, just as importantly, those around you like your family and loved ones.
All men know deep down that they have more to give, they know that deep down they are powerful. But on the surface, anything that blocks our masculine power prevents us from accessing our innate powers to create, to love, and to live life to the fullest.
It’s time to leave behind the ordinary and become your best self; to fully become The Extraordinary Man that has always lived inside of you!

A Seattle detective begins investigating the murder of a sex trafficking survivor in the care of a local nonprofit organization. He unknowingly launches a series of events that reveal founder and CEO Elizabeth Knight and her team are not who they say they are.
A respected advocate and lecturer on human rights issues in her community, Elizabeth is forced to face a past once carefully erased after crafting a future much more fitting to her wealthy family’s legacy.
Following an electrifying career that allowed her to watch red tape, politics, and money enable oppression and corruption around the world, she decided to leave her NYC home for a fresh start on the Pacific Northwest coast. Tragedy strikes five years after beginning her nonprofit work, and she’s forced to stay one step ahead of the Seattle Police Department in a deadly game that threatens her identity, and the lives of those closest to her.
Based on true events, The Fenix Projects follows the journey of a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing care to sex trafficking survivors. Elizabeth has a small team dedicated to providing support, education and awareness for survivors through housing, medical care, scholarships and counseling.
Set against the Seattle skyline, The Fenix Projects is an action packed thriller exposing the dark side of human trafficking in the Pacific Northwest in a high stakes battle for modern vigilante justice.

Maggie Walsh shocks everyone in her family: she’s decided to enter a convent. Her brother thinks she’s wasting her life. Her sister doubts she has what it takes. Her mother, who expected Maggie to follow in her sister’s successful footsteps, is heartbroken. Her father just wants Maggie to be happy. Her boyfriend pledges to wait for her until she gets it out of her system.
Lacking confidence in herself, and abandoning her dreams of becoming an actress or a writer, Maggie embraces Church teaching that says the convent is the path to perfection. She sets out to follow that path, no matter how challenging it might become. Even the nuns who are her teachers seem a little surprised at her decision, so Maggie decides she will need to work hard to prove herself worthy of their admiration.
It is 1960. Church reform is a few years away, but when it comes, radical changes unfold swiftly, calling ancient monastic customs into question. Maggie embraces that change – especially after a summer living as a young nun among the poor. Her older brother, Jack, who disapproves of her choice, involves Maggie in civil-rights and anti-war activities – forcing her into clashes with her superiors. Maggie must choose between keeping peace in the convent and following her conscience.
Maggie latches onto liberal causes, inspiring her students but causing friction in the community – especially with her principal. A charismatic fellow teacher named Will arrives and captures her time and attention. Then her first love, Stan, returns from a Navy tour, determined to win her back. Some of her closest friends decide the convent is no longer the right life for them. But what about her? Maggie must make the choice of a lifetime – will she choose the earthly love of a man, or the divine love of God?
Seeking perfection seemed simple when Maggie graduated from high school; now, ten years later, it is anything but. Is perfection worth the sacrifice? Is Maggie’s faith strong enough? Will she stay?

Growing up on the streets of Brazil with his widowed hard-working mother, it wasn’t unusual for Carlos Siqueira to dodge bullets or get robbed by thugs after selling bread all day at the age of seven. But he also grew up hearing stories of his late father’s extreme generosity and dedication to helping scores of abandoned youth in their community, and Carlos—determined to uphold his father’s legacy—refused to become another street-kid statistic.
With a level of resilience, curiosity, and resourcefulness atypical of his age, Carlos befriended the neighborhood thieves and learned from them—not how to steal, but why they chose a life so fraught with risk. These early inquiries sent him on a soul-searching path to understand and respect—not judge or disparage—people from all walks of life. Determined to seek the good in everyone and turn each negative situation into a positive, he quickly became a young mentor, helping people with fear, depression, or anxiety shift their mind-set.
But he didn’t stop there.
Using his natural inquisitiveness, he honed his early entrepreneurial skills by interviewing business owners and asking what worked for them, what didn’t, what gave them the most gratification, and what they would change if they could. By the time he fulfilled his dream of immigrating to the US at the age of eighteen, he was armed with real-world knowledge and insight more valuable than an MBA—and he put that understanding to work, first to learn English, then to secure a job.
After applying his tenacious work ethic in a handful of mediocre positions, he scored a door-to-door phone and Internet sales position, where he almost immediately became the top salesperson. But the accolades he received and the millions he earned with the company over time didn’t come without a price.
After a bout with drug addiction, an uncharacteristic fall from his usual positivity, and a new baby diagnosed with a devastating condition that nearly destroyed his wife and their marriage, Carlos had to draw on his numerous life lessons—which are sprinkled like gold nuggets throughout the book—to re-engage with and reinvent the life and the impact he so desired to make.
Gaining wisdom from numerous self-improvement visionaries, from Napoleon Hill and Joseph Murphy to Zig Ziglar and Tony Robbins, he brought himself back from rock bottom by learning to harness the power of his imagination, unlock hidden resources, and overcome both internal and external limitations. In the process he left the company he worked for y and started his own company, where he now teaches thousands of people across the globe how to achieve the level of success, financial freedom, and personal gratification they had once only dreamed of.
Combining moving, hardscrabble life stories profound and empowering lessons that touch on every aspect of life, and abundant, concrete guidance for people in most any career, Work Like an Immigrant delivers a memoir-meets-business book that will connect you to what the American dream genuinely means, motivate you to discover and fulfill your true purpose, and inspire you to never reach for anything less than the stars.

Why should we be concerned about obesity and diabetes, even those of us who have a perfectly healthy weight and lifestyle?

What is the connection between obesity, diabetes, and artery disease?

Why do many obese people never become diabetic?

Given there are very few people with perfectly healthy arteries, how can most of us keep our arteries in harmony?

What are some of the most common and most deadly misconceptions that lay people have about health and disease?

Why are obesity and diabetes, while depending heavily on individual lifestyle choices, also social diseases?

Why, although doctors, hospitals, medications, and procedures can help with obesity and diabetes complications, can the epidemic only be won through a prolonged campaign of well planned community-driven operations?

What constitutes a healthy lifestyle, beyond merely healthy eating and exercise?

What other common and deadly diseases—beyond obesity, diabetes, and their artery complications—can be prevented through a healthy lifestyle?

These are questions you may have wondered about, or may have never even thought to ask. Nonetheless, they are questions that we all need immediate answers to if we are to save our society from preventable disease. Arteries in Harmony will provide you with meticulously researched answers to these questions and a blueprint for a healthier future.
Obesity and diabetes make up an international epidemic, a pandemic that threatens not only the health of those affected, but also the very structure of our civil society through bankrupting its resources and destroying its social safety nets.
Arteries in Harmony is the second book on prevention and wellness written by Dr. Anthony, a practicing physician and a former interventional cardiologist, who firmly believes that prevention of the obesity-diabetes epidemic and its complications is possible. It will require nothing short of transforming school, home, the workplace, and the way we communicate knowledge about the epidemic, but it can be done.
As a first step, it is necessary that people understand the obesity-diabetes-artery disease epidemic concerns us all.
Second, the epidemic is not only about individual lifestyle choices, like avoiding added sugars and fat and opting for more exercise, but also about how we spend our days at school, work, home, the restaurant, and at the grocery store. So, fighting the epidemic cannot be successful by only individual choices. It will also require transforming some of our pre-eminent social institutions, like school and the workplace, as well as reasonable regulation of dangerous foods and drinks.
Thirdly, winning over the epidemic is not going to be a slam-dunk. Slashing tobacco smoking rates from 42% down to 15% took more than half a century; the obesity-diabetes epidemic is likely to be an even harder nut to crack. Without a well-planned and prolonged community-wide and community-driven campaign, we have no hope of success. On top of bringing the concept of a healthy lifestyle to school and the workplace and regulating dangerous foods and drinks, we will also need the friendly army of Health Pals. The Health Pals are people amongst us who want to help their fellow human beings avoid disease and death. The Health Pals will learn:

How to spread the message of prevention and wellness to their families, their friends, and their co-workers.

When and how to persuade unwilling individuals (who feel healthy but are in desperate need of medical help, on the basis of risk factors and early signs) to see their doctor and help prevent a heart attack, a stroke, or sudden death.

Arteries in Harmony will educate you about the concepts of belly fat, insulin, and fatty liver; teach you about the dangers of prolonged sitting and added sugars; and help you prevent high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes. This book will give you the tools to protect your arteries and put a bit of wellness in a previously unhealthy lifestyle. You will learn the important details of what a healthy lifestyle truly is (beyond just healthy diet and exercise), the multiple benefits of healthy lifestyle, extending beyond the obesity-diabetes-artery disease epidemic, and what you should expect, health-wise, during the various stages of your life, depending on your lifestyle choices.
Arteries in Harmony is written by a healthcare professional with over thirty years in practice and 100,000 human lives treated, face-to-face. Once you’ve read it, you will never again think the same of belly fat, whether it is yours, your spouse’s, or your kids’. And, you will come to appreciate so much more this super-high tech collection of your 37 trillion cells that comprise your body’s home.

Quirky Lily Barlow idolizes the fictional bounty hunter Stephanie Plum from the Janet Evanovich series and longs for that kind of freewheeling lifestyle—a life where she makes her own rules. The problem is, there are no criminals or noteworthy crimes to speak of in her small and stifling hometown of Marshall, VA.
As a fallback, the plucky college student plans to escape Yawnsville, where she was born and raised, by pursuing a degree at the University of Virginia. To her, the fact that she has switched majors multiple times and remains currently undecided is not at all important. However, to her consternation, those college plans are put on hold when she is called home to help resuscitate her family’s business, Poppy’s Bakery, after her father suffers a heart attack.
First things first. She doesn’t want anybody jumping to the conclusion that she’s coming home for good; she didn’t get the baking gene, and she reliably burns anything she puts in an oven. Still, you can see how people would assume she would take over for her dad. To squash that rumor before it becomes historic record, she rents a little efficiency garage on the edge of town.
Her new landlady, Miss Delphine Walker, is a senior spitfire in floral print. She’s stubborn, independent, and knows her mind. Sure, she and her dog, Velcro, are likable enough, but Lily has a vivid imagination and a knack for turning everyday occurrences into true crime plots. It’s pretty clear to her that this old bat is hiding something. Lily jumps from one crazy conclusion to the next until finally determining that Miss Delphine is a murderer—and the body may or may not be buried on her property.
Upon settling into her new, temporary place, Lily throws herself a royal pity-party, complete with confetti. She has a little too much tequila, and on the advice of her good friend Mercedes, tries to research dough as a way to connect with the family bakery in a more zen-like way. In the process, she stumbles across an online clearing house for records of murder victims that the cops have not been able to identify. With a love of the macabre, it doesn’t take long before Lily is fully immersed in the details of these unidentified dead bodies.
She revisits one particular case over and over and becomes convinced she knows the person. Suddenly, her single-minded goal of getting the bakery running grows a few more legs. Feeling honor-bound to give a name to the woman in the profile, she launches her own little investigation. When choosing between excitement and personal safety, she always comes down on the side of the first one, taking a lackadaisical approach to the second one. That’s okay, though, because she has Jack Turner for the personal safety piece.
Ah, good ol’ Jack Turner. In addition to being a mechanic, firefighter, and poster boy for preparedness, Jack has been Lily’s best friend since kindergarten. She hates that he likes to micromanage every single cotton-pickin’ thing she does. It’s annoying but done out of brotherly love so she has come to accept his involvement in her life.
Out of nowhere, Jack takes this opportunity to lob another red rubber ball into this crazy dodgeball tournament with a revelation that throws Lily completely off her game. Jack apparently wants something more. Something more? Like what? Lily wonders. A second helping of mashed potatoes? (br> While offering his support and assistance in the area of the quasi-investigation, Jack begins to pursue Lily romantically. Lily is diametrically opposed to this turn of events and fears any romantic dalliance will sabotage their long friendship.
The friendship is not the only thing at stake. If she gets sucked into a relationship, it could ultimately derail her dreams of escaping the small town. One of Jack’s personality traits, aka character flaws, has always been perseverance. Lily knows it won’t be easy to keep him at arm’s length, but she’s dealt with him all her life, so she’s up to the challenge.
As she juggles the bakery and boy drama, Lily throws herself into the mystery of the murder victim, coming up with a plan to prove the identity of the woman.
