Tap into the power that cool thinking generates—learn how going slower can actually help you get more done, faster.Before you check your wireless e-mail for the fourth time this hour, ask yourself, is this truly helping you get further ahead? Or is the pressure to address the immediate actually pushing you backwards?

The first edition, published by John Wiley & Sons, in 2007, is available at Amazon here.

Imagine walking into your workplace today and asking yourself this question: "Is this the day I get fired?"
You should do that. And your response to yourself should be “So What?” Because, frankly, the odds of losing your current position are higher than they have ever been, regardless of your age, education, or smarts. Jobs are not what they were, and you only have to look around to notice that everything now is very different and very immediate. Are you ready? This is not a bad news book. The point is, you can be prepared for agile, reliable career self-sufficiency, by ensuring you take the time now to build your own future. This book will show you how to divide your time between maintaining your current job, while taking your future into your own hands. Sure, thinking about getting fired is scary. But the antidote to being scared is to have a plan. This book is your plan. Available at Amazon here.

All that ends, however, when the Chinese man disappears and a long line of people come along looking for him. His upstairs business, it turns out, was not entirely what it seemed. Sandy and Chris are thrown into the adventure of their lives as they seek to keep their restaurant alive and discover that everyone around them has secrets.
