The Excalibur Parchment : Barrie Doyle
The Excalibur Parchment
When does a legend become reality? A famous icon is now the tool to extinguish democracy and freedom across Europe and North America, destroy Christianity along with other religions and force a return to the supernatural bloody faith of the druids.
A lowly 12th century Welsh monk, Thomas, is assigned a task that sets in motion a horrific journey which will test his mettle, his faith and his abilities. He must protect the secret of Excalibur, King Arthur’s sword, and keep it out of the hands of a cruel Druid who seeks the sword’s mythical supernatural power.
Centuries later, American journalist Stone Wallace also has a mission: to prove the existence of the sword, find it, and prevent global disaster at the hands of the reawakened Druids. From Washington to London and Venice to Wales, the hunt for Excalibur gets bloodier and bloodier.
The key is Excalibur. Is it real? The battle is waged over two tumultuous centuries. Can the druids force modern societies to embrace their pagan, satanic religion and throw off democracy? Can Stone thwart terrorist attacks on Britain’s Royal Family and will the US Presidency fall into Druid hands?
The Excalibur Parchment. Book 1 of The Oak Grove Conspiracies.

A Garage Full of Ferraris : Keith Johnston
Every organization needs leadership. The organizations that achieve the most are usually the ones that have the strongest leaders.
This book highlights the careers of a group of people who have achieved significant success in their lives who understand leadership.
You will learn: • How ordinary people overcome obstacles to achieve their dreams
• What role mentors play in your success and how to find a mentor
• How to change culture and bring about change
• The importance of having a vision and how to create a powerful vision even if you do not believe you are a visionary.
• Practical, simple approaches to motivate your team.
The stories in this book are not about the chief executive officers of multinational corporations or world leaders, but rather about people challenged to achieve significant goals by working through other people. These are the people who know how to lead and know how to unleash the potential in their high-performance teams to drive extraordinary results.
Some of the people I showcase consider themselves natural leaders, while others have never thought of themselves as leaders at all, but all of them have faced the challenge of having to use leadership skills to achieve an objective. Their advice comes from organizations of all shapes and sizes because leadership does not come in one form.
You can influence the people working for you and achieve the kind of success that you desire no matter your company’s size. What leaders have in common is they achieve success by influencing people. They show courage in the face of adversity and they dare to be different.
