Flesh Puppets (Stepping Stones 2): Alex Harbinger
“Stepping Stones” follows survivors in a post-apocalyptic world plagued by deadly creatures. A thin layer of fog hovers a few stories off the ground, encompassing the world and creating a killing field for the monsters known as dwellers. Unable to pass up through the mist, they lurk in the overcast netherworld, waiting for the remnants of humanity to risk venturing below from their encampments above the clouds. With the streets no longer safe, buildings themselves have become stepping stones to travel over the lurking evil.
Flesh Puppets:
It has been a few months since Rex’s confrontations with Bathory and Vlad. Having recuperated her strength, she is now ready to focus on her next target, an alpha that hides in the shadows better than any other: Mary.
Miles from civilization, the elusive dweller lies in wait. However, the branches of this evil are far easier to find than their roots. With help from a previous acquaintance, Kaleb Isaacs, as well as his team of hunters, Rex becomes ensnared in a downward spiral of manipulated human corpses, dweller hybrids, and a beast of terrifying power.
From cloud-covered streets to labyrinths of tunnels and a town forever cast in darkness, Mary seems to be a coward who attacks only from a distance. However, Rex will soon find that her white whale, Inferno, may not be in a league all his own.

Stepson to the Mob : Marc Bradley
From the time I was old enough to form my first memory, my childhood was already headed down the inevitable path of dysfunction. With divorce in the books and a new man in the house, these events actually turned out to be the easy part. The hard part was absolutely everything else that followed.
From the depths of addiction to the height of recovery. From a life-threatening diagnosis to the ultimate loss of a lifetime, my story will take you through a journey of one mother’s love for her two young boys and the relentless courage to protect us, at any cost, from the very danger that she unwittingly had a hand in creating. It was a danger that would force us to disappear without a trace, from the only home we ever knew to a small town that no one could even pronounce. And as our lives were so quickly being turned upside down, all reasons for this upheaval could only point to one thing: the new man in the house.
As the secrets began to pile up, there seemed to be far more questions than answers. The pressure to keep these secrets from us would inevitably take its toll, and by the time the truth was finally revealed, the emotional damage had already been done.
No matter what degree of dysfunction that was dealt to us, as two innocent boys from Chicago, thanks to our mother’s unwavering love, we always had one thing to hold on to—hope. The hope of a second chance. The hope of a fresh start. The hope of a better ending to our story than the tragic beginning we were so unfairly given.
From a very young age, I always knew my life was far from normal. There was just something about it that stood out, something that always had me wondering if everything I was experiencing was really what it seemed. And it was that mysterious “something” that would eventually reveal itself and change the course of my life forever.

Customer Escalations Management: The Golden Recipe : Nikolaos Zormpas
No one likes complaints, especially from customers. When customers complain, that usually means extra work for your employees who then have to find solutions for them. And when those complaints escalate, it’s considered a failure and a major headache for management in the company to deal with.
What if we look at these complaints differently by seeing them as opportunities instead of problems?
When customers attempt to raise an issue with your business, they’re giving you a chance to make it up to them instead of just taking their business elsewhere.
It’s also a chance for your company to learn what areas in your business may be problematic and need fixing.
You should still aim to avoid escalations; nevertheless, your attitude toward them should make all the difference.
When customers complain to you, it’s best to listen and take it seriously, and when grievances escalate, the response from the business is even more crucial.
Escalations mean that your first line of interaction was not enough, and most likely, the customer will be unhappy at this stage. How you deal with these escalations could determine whether a customer stays with your company.
Your company needs to be prepared to handle customer escalations in a way that will ensure customer satisfaction and retention.
In Customer Escalations Management: The Golden Recipe, you will discover:
- How to handle customer complaints and escalations seamlessly throughout your company to ensure no cases get dropped.
- A simple way to reduce escalations without ignoring customer complaints.
- Why customer escalations can be a boon to your company, and how you can use this to your advantage.
- How to enable your customer-interacting employees to determine which issues need to be escalated and which can be resolved at their level.
- Valuable information to know about your customers to equip you to better respond to their needs.
- How a company’s leaders can significantly improve customer relations, even without being involved in day-to-day customer interaction.
- The 8 phrases and words you should never use when dealing with complaints to avoid further aggravating your customers.
- How to strengthen your relationships with customers, even if you’re unable to meet them face-to-face.
The above points are just a sample of what you’ll learn from Customer Escalations Management.
Customer interaction is a specialized job. No company can compete without being top-notch in this area. By applying the golden recipe from this book, you can take customer interaction to the next level. Customers who see that you care and are professional will definitely come back.
Regardless of how big or small your company is, having a customer escalations management system in place is essential in any business.
All businesses will inevitably encounter problems that won’t have a straightforward resolution. There will be a need for more experienced or knowledgeable people to step in.
If you want to provide your clients with great customer service, your company has to be prepared for the most unexpected situations.
By preparing your organization to manage customer complaints and escalations—for any and all types of situations—you’ll be able to resolve issues smoothly and painlessly; essentially, you’ll keep your customers happy.
If you want to reduce stress, frustration, and dissatisfaction for your customers (and your employees), then grab your copy now on Amazon!

The Eloquence of Effort: Beware the Path of Least Resistance : Indar Maharaj
The contents of The Eloquence of Effort are deeply moored in the principles of Entropy: the tendency of all things/events to spontaneously degenerate into chaos. Unless, of course, there is an infusion of energy aimed at reversing the downward spiral. It is a universal law: chaos occurs spontaneously; solutions demand conscious effort.
Have you ever wondered why things naturally break up, break down, degenerate, depreciate or simply fall apart? Why is Alzheimer’s more prevalent among the lesser educated? Why is physical exercise a vital component to a healthier life? Consider two cars, an old and a new, abandoned under similar conditions. Revisited a 100-years later, the new would deteriorate while the old would disintegrate into untraceable dust. But why not the reverse? As the new car aged into a rusted rattle-trap, the old retrogressed into a spanking new car. Just the way the universe operates, you exclaim. Answers to these questions reside in the forces governing the Second Law of Thermodynamics, sometimes referred to as the Law of Entropy. You see, to prevent being submerged under an Entropic tsunami of destruction one must apply personal effort. Failure to do so can only result in personal catastrophe: disorder/chaos according to this law.
Arguing that dreams are only achievable through sustained effort, the book relies heavily on biographical, philosophical, economic, religious, historical and scientific data. Accordingly, work is the mission; the multiple rewards are the byproducts. More significantly, the pleasure resides in the effort, not the outcome. Against the dark backdrop of malignancies inflicted on society by unrepentant leeches, the benefits of unstinting diligence are sharply focused. The reader is nudged into a higher plane of reality: namely, purposeful effort is rewarding. Hence, regardless of the end result, effort is never wasted. Conversely, indolence is the bane of progress: the root cause of socio-economic crimes and social chaos. Indeed, corruption in all its diabolical forms is nothing but laziness masquerading as diligence.
Analysis of biographical data sustains the thesis that hard work extends life; indolence shortens it. Moreover, indolence in all its fiendish forms is causally related to personal chaos. The despicable indolent degenerate, Pablo Escobar, attests to the veracity of the statement when he prophetically asserted that, “no drug dealer ever died of old age.” He was right: at age 44, he was slaughtered.
The persuasiveness of the arguments is supported by a wealth of references. Together they form the final authority; they lend credence to the arguments provided.

Living with Integrity : Rolando Satzke
This book was written to share the thoughts and feelings that arise in searching and encountering oneself. Clearer coherence between our values and actions leads to a state of inner peace, which – like in calm and mirrored waters – allows us to observe ourselves more deeply. I hope that the reader can feel and visualize the slow and permanent discovery of who we truly are. This is what integrity is about.
The change that you and the world are waiting for to make a better present possible depends on the strength of the connection with your most profound meanings. Living with integrity is a proposal of a way of living: being consistent, reflecting your feelings, having clarity about your course, knowing yourself better, spreading trust, and experiencing freedom. It is about making value-based decisions and knowing that they lead to an ulterior purpose. Living with integrity involves going back to the source and taking a qualitative leap in the upward spiral of your evolution.
