A new queen rises... When Stevie vanquished her family’s greatest threat, she thought they’d be safe. Unaware of the evil surrounding her, she trains with her coven and prepares to inherit her mother’s role as queen and protector of the amulet. Chaplain Benjamin Parris, descendant of the notorious reverend behind the Salem Witch Trails, plots to resume his family’s mission and rid the world of witches. He joins forces with Susan Moore, who’s sought revenge against the coven for years, and together, they formulate a plan to destroy Stevie’s family. Left weakened after the theft of their protective amulet, the coven confronts the unthinkable as a modern day witch hunt unfolds around them. And this time, Stevie might not be able to save the people she loves.

"Liberating the Classroom is a powerful call to action for educators, staff, and administrators seeking to transform learning spaces. With care for students at the center, Peterson advocates for moving past one-off 'fixes' for equity issues and provides a robust set of tools to build the groundwork for lasting change." ―Alex Shevrin Venet, author of Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Education

"For three decades Adelman has been a nightlife innovator at the highest level. Whether it be mega-clubs in NYC or dance clubs in Boston and Hollywood, he has set the trend for others to follow.

“Nocturnal Admissions chronicles a great time to be alive. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, American nightlife got a second wind and in the thick of it was Steve Adelman with clubs in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. Playing for Steve at the Avalon clubs in Boston and L.A. was always one of the highlights on a stateside tour for me, with sold-out nights and lines around the block. Steve’s clubs set the standard for the events that take place now.”—John Digweed, DJ and record producer

"...Sagar reveals many twists and turns in the Vitamin C story. There is salutary reading in the erring from careful science by Nobel-prize winner Linus Pauling – some businesses made millions based on faulty conclusions about the miraculous healing power of high-dose Vitamin C.
If the steady plod of science as well as its serendipity fascinates you, this is a good read. Sagar is an investigative historian as well as a research neurologist and writes quite a page-turner." ―Jonathan Chick, book review for Oxford Academic's Alcohol and Alcoholism, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2023, Page 116

Mitchell, Dougy Center; The National Grief Center for Children and Families

"The transition from childhood through adolescence to becoming a successful adult is hard enough for children who are raised in a stable, loving family. Many children begin that developmental road in an abusive or neglectful family and are 'rescued' into a foster care system that may be terrific for some but is inadequate or even horrible for others. Lisa Schelbe's book exposes how that process is navigated by five young adults and thoughtfully presents policy alternatives to improve the system. It is a must-read." ―Richard D. Krugman, University of Colorado School of Medicine

Active duty or retired, being a police officer is an identity. Law enforcement officers take an oath to serve and protect. This book is an extension of that mission. Good Cop, Black Cop is a moving and timely memoir that reveals how racism impacts people on both sides of the "thin blue line." It's a real-world view into racial inequity in America and ends with Moore's thoughtful perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement and what we as a nation need to do to heal.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN LIFE DOESN'T END UP THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO? American evangelical Christianity is a uniquely American Phenomenon. Ingrained in culture and politics, fundamentalism ascribes to strict theological and political dogmas in ways that seldom mirror our vast human experiences. That's when people of faith find themselves caught in the crosshairs of belief and real life.

Rethinking Everything When Faith and Reality Don't Make Sense is a book for real people with real questions. An intellectual and emotional journey, readers discover the origins of their faith, and how we struggle to separate belief from reality in a world of fundamentalist absolutes. It addresses the feelings of anger, depression, and fear that often go with strict theological conformity we, or others, have placed on us.
Rethinking Everything is a book about letting go, finding peace, and discovering your passion again.

Today's professional women are tired of feeling pressured to Lean In and Have it All.

Women's Equality isn't about getting more of us into the corner office or the boardroom. It's about having the freedom to choose our own path.

But mainstream messages have lost sight of this and turned our pursuit of professional achievement into a directive rather than a choice. As a result, many women of our generation are now chasing after careers and accomplishments that we may not truly want, all at the cost of our families, our health, and our happiness.

Instead of striving to have it all, it's time to have just what we want.

2018 International Book Awards Finalist in Self Help: Motivational

“The book combines a personal guide and business manual with a culinary story . . . lays out a series of plain-sounding but persuasively thoughtful principles organized around the straightforward contention that there really isn’t much difference between the two disciplines, asking a deceptively simple question: 'Can implementing business values improve personal lives?’ . . . A lucid, step-by-step guide to personal and professional success—with vichyssoise mixed in.” —Kirkus Reviews

“The Business of Being sets itself apart through engaging stories, actionable steps, and a dash of humor. Deftly closing the gap between business and spirituality, it encourages current or prospective business owners to live in alignment with inner values without compromising integrity. Those who take this book to heart will undergo a powerful transformation in both their personal and business lives.” —Stephen J. Hopson, the world's first deaf instrument-rated pilot and author of Obstacle Illusions: Transforming Adversity into Success

The Secrets of Creating Successful Blue-Collar Managers
In an age where we are breaking down barriers in the workplace, we still fail in some areas. One of those areas is preparing, developing, and supporting blue-collar managers. We hire or promote them primarily because they are good technicians. And we promote them because we like them.

In They’re Managers – Now What? you will learn savvy strategies for setting up blue-collar managers and supervisors for success.

Travelers, like writers, believe in the power of setting.
