St. Max Parish celebrates the sacraments and liturgical life. It also provides shelter for the homeless, jobs for the unemployed, and distributes Bibles to the needy. Strangely, St. Max's manufactures golf balls to raise money for the less fortunate. Top-of-the-line, PGA-approved golf balls which fly longer and more accurately than the finest Titleists or Callaways. Jim and Dora Mann had raised their son, Eric, in the backseat of a broken-down Plymouth Duster in Florida's Loxahatchee Slough until Father Jacob rescued them. Eric played for hours with a rusty golf club and bruised golf ball he found in the trash. By chance, the boy met Hugh Kraft, a wealthy professional golf coach who gave Eric a lesson and quickly discovered the youngster had unique God-given talent. He could handle a golf club and strike a ball with power and precision. Taking Eric under his wing, Hugh set his sights on helping him qualify for the PGA tour. Meanwhile, Willy Banks, an ex-sheriff's deputy, comes out of retirement to investigate a criminal organization that aims to manipulate the results of professional games to profit from sports gambling. Eric Mann is a respectful and unassuming young golfer with exceptional talent, a perfect target for the syndicate's next nefarious venture. Willy could save the teenager's career, but the clock is ticking, and it appears he will lose the race against time. Bold Exploitation is an epic sports adventure that takes you from South Florida to California, the Bahamas to Australia, and from Scotland to Vatican City. It is an absorbing story that blends the world of professional golf with heart-pounding action, unforgettable characters, thought-provoking themes, and an ending you didn't see coming.

“[This Is What We Do] is...Atlas Shrugged jammed in reverse and with the tires smoked. It's Ayn Rand for people with a brain. And a gun. It's a kick. Read it.” —Sean Beaudoin, author of You Killed Wesley Payne and The InfectsJames Nethery is at the end of his rope. Unable to find meaning in his comfortable life, he has cut himself off from everyone and fled to Paris. His mission; to rid himself of a lifetime of baggage, erase the past, and start over. He wanders Paris aimlessly until he meets Lily, a Ukrainian model and hooker. They form a unique bond, and together take the first steps toward writing new stories of their lives. Soon, Lily’s past catches up with her and they are forced to go on the lam in a strange country. Together they must decide between justice and vengeance, and, when forced to take action, between what is too much—and not enough.This Is What We Do is part neo–noir thriller, part love story, and part cautionary tale of the perils of trying to write a new life from nothing—and the stories that will be written for you by others if you find yourself in the public eye.

Gila Bend is a political thriller with astonishing subplots that will leave you wondering (and worrying) if the manifestations could really happen! A history teacher from the tiny bedroom community of Gila Bend, Arizona, unexpectedly teams up with a dishonorably-discharged ex-Colonel from the US Air Force, to save America from a covert hostile takeover led by foreign dignitaries. Wealthy British parliamentarian, Lord John Shaffer, discovers a potent hallucinogen (tungis) during a falconry hunting expedition in Yemen that when mixed with coffee destroys the memories of those who drink the java.Shaffer recruits Russian Directorate Chief of the KGB, Yegor Bovnik, Russian General Leonid Sokolov, and Sultan Tariq Nassar to overthrow the United States government by exporting the mind extinguishing coffee to the US in the hopes of poisoning the eighty-three percent of adult Americans who drink at least one cup daily. Sultan Nassar's palace in the desert oasis of the Rub' al Khali wasteland of Saudi Arabia is the location where the coffee is manufactured.Because no one would suspect American schools to be involved in an international criminal conspiracy, the coffee is stored in hidden areas of selected campuses throughout the United States. Lord Shaffer recruits teachers who need extra income to aid in the storage and distribution of the packaged java without telling them exactly how the coffee is going to be used.To move the product into Gila Bend Charter School, a fake immigration raid is staged to temporarily clear out the building of students and staff. But the mission fails when two students escape by stealing a school bus as a phony ICE agent fires his weapon at them. The chaos that follows is witnessed by a passerby who is shocked that an officer would shoot at young kids. He grabs a hunting rifle and kills the man, then quickly loads up fifteen teachers and leads the fake ICE agents on a high-speed chase out of town. Near the small village of Ajo, Arizona, the two students ditch the school bus and join their teachers in the bed of the truck.As the novel unfolds, a mysterious multitude of twists and turns will lead you from the Cold War to the present and will reveal a shocking revelation about a great American statesman. The surprise ending discloses a critical link between political corruption in our nation's capital, the incomprehensible activities taking place in Sultan Tariq's oasis in the Rub' al Khali (where stonings and beheadings are a weekly occurrence), and the shocking events in the sleepy town of Gila Bend.While Washington government is frozen in its tracks, new world order is about to evolve!

Toplederes beskrivelse af bogenAnne Louise Eberhard, bestyrelsesmedlem i bl.a. FLSMIDTH, Finansiel Stabilitet og Topdanmark: En forfriskende og relevant bog, der giver konkret inspiration til, hvorledes selv store virksomheder kan arbejde med entreprenante agendaer og skabe øget innovationskraft.Jesper Mortensen, CEO, GF Forsikring: Bogen kan varmt anbefales og balancerer perfekt mellem perspektivering og at være praksisnær. Især tilgangen til kultur og mindset er helt afgørende og giver gode take-aways mellem ”gammel og ny verden”. Både forretningsmæssig, ledelsesmæssig og personlig udvikling kræver mod for at lykkedes, hvorfor det også er rigtig fint med konkrete anbefalinger, principper og praksisser.Mastin Hasgard Olesen, (Group) Vice President, Netto, Salling Group: Tom Hansen og Bo Heimann får gennem bogen åbnet op for nogle af de mest grundlæggende fejl mange af de etablerede virksomheder i dag accepterer og gentager igen og igen. Bogen er en inspirationskilde, men vigtigst af alt giver den nogle små konkrete virkemidler og værktøjer, der kan virke som katalysator for netop den manglende innovationskraft, som selv de bedste topledelser har svært ved at løse op for.

A non-stop trip into one man's land of desperate addicts, failed punk bands, and brushes with sad fame, as he sells drugs during the Seattle grunge years. In American Junkie, Tom Hansen maps his heroin addiction, from the promise of a young life to the prison of a mattress, from budding musician to broken down junkie, drowning in syringes and cigarette butts, shooting heroin into wounds the size of softballs, and ultimately, a ride to a hospital for a six-month stay and a painful self-discovery that cuts down to the bone. Through it all he never really loses his step, never lets go of his smarts, and always projects quintessential American reason, humor, and hope to make a story not only about drugs, but a compelling study of vulnerability and toughness.
