Adrift is an exploration of trauma and a quest for transcendence. Between broken souls, broken homes, and frustrating socio-political circumstances, Peloquin asks us to see these experiences not as disparate elements, but as part of a whole. Here, in this place, with this stirring narrator, memory and reality feed off one another, creating a world of inconstancy that can only be soothed by dreams of escape.

This is a story about one Tiki Miki who plays his ukulele differently than the others, and how his different tune takes him somewhere extraordinary.

Alongside Debbie and with a burgeoning romance with her long-time friend David, Kit learns that life is not about age or loss, but is about standing up for animals and people who have no voice, and about finding the power within yourself.

How Not to Sell offers every level of salesperson useful tips and strategies to make mediocre salespersons more effective and superior salespersons really effective. A must read. ~Michael Farmer CEO, Innova-LearningThroughout my career I've read many books about sales, and I often find myself thinking about the differences between what authors write and reality as I know it. I have yet to come across anything that provides a realistic characterization of the field. No sales person is admitting what they did wrong and certainly none are writing about how a majority of the time success has as much to do with luck and circumstances than art and skill. No one is writing about reality, until this book. If you have ever posted something to social media about your sales job like #winning or #hustle, this book will surprise you. Because for me, being in sales has never been about waking up, grabbing a protein bar and energy drink, and following one of the so-called sales guru's 15 steps. To me sales is about survival. In some jobs it's been week to week, in others year to year, but nevertheless, survival. Rashad Daoudi has lived the game and understands the grind that sales is. His book reflects this and his ability to separate fiction from reality. ~Todd Svec Vice President, K-12 Solutions

Just as Deb and her mother Estelle are learning how to mesh their individual lives together, nature’s destructive hand comes down, leaving them to wait for a new hope, and help from unexpected others.  In SURVIVING MOTHER Gwen Head has written a story of life struggles, tragedy, and getting one’s life back together to move forward. Written with the caregivers of the world in mind, Head takes the reader into a daughter’s and mother’s life struggles, doubts, and hardships as they deal with the emotional ups and downs of living with Alzheimer’s Disease. In SURVIVING MOTHER we can all find a little inspiration that, in the end, we can all overcome even the toughest obstacles. Excellent subject, timely and very well written. I would highly recommend it to all interested readers. ~ Shirley Lyles, former Mason, Texas Librarian and San Angelo Standard Times Newspaper columnist. Once I got to know the characters, I found I couldn’t put it down. It’s a pretty accurate depiction of what happens when your parent becomes your child. It is something none of us can prepare for. For a person like Deb, who has never had children, it can be overwhelming.  Ms. Head adeptly fleshes out her disparate characters, makes you fall in love with them, root for them, cry with them, and takes you on a journey that is profound. It is at times painful, funny, and completely fascinating. It begs a sequel. I cannot wait to read it.~ K. Michiel Cavuoti, Registered Nurse
