Nathaniel Trent, known as the villainous viscount, is relentless in his desire to lay his hands on both Cara and the priceless artifacts. His icy exterior and fiery touch stirs Cara’s demons, or could he lay them to rest?

Justicar Jhee and the Hole in the World (The Justicar Jhee Mysteries Book 2) by Trevol Swift

Death never takes a holiday… Only, Jhee, a magic-wielding sleuth can stop a killer before they strike again and prevent an impending atrocity from wreaking havoc on the lives of millions.

Galleon City is the central point in the Empire; the place where the Storm Shield protects the Blessed Isles from the wrath that surrounds them. But it is also a city that is being ripped apart by restless factions and swamped with refugees, the destitute and the unwanted.

Justicar Jhee arrives in the city in the midst of this chaos, but it isn’t long before intrigue strikes once more, in the form of illness and death at the nearby mine.

With fingers of accusation being pointed at multiple suspects, Jhee and a local detective are called upon to investigate. But they soon uncover a much wider conspiracy and even greater dangers lying in wait in Galleon City, with disreputable mining companies and government corruption, creating unrest that is threatening to spill over.

Now the unanswered questions are piling up. Why is Jhee’s wife Mirrei suddenly unwell? Why would someone plot to destroy the Storm Shield? And is it the blessing that they once thought it was?

With time running out, Jhee and her allies must stop a killer before they strike again and prevent an impending atrocity from wreaking havoc on the lives of millions.

The Transformation: How to Use Digital Transformation Technology to Reduce Costs, Accelerate Delivery Times, and Provide Exceptional Value by Richard Catalano

How to transform and compete in the digital age is foremost on every leaders’ mind and the race is on for companies of all sizes to utilize data and technology to be competitive and grow. To what extent an organization can effectively transform will ultimately determine their future success or failure.

Done well, a digital transformation will reduce costs, build efficiencies, and allow companies to better manage their assets, expand market share, better serve customers, and add value to existing customers and shareholders.

And while most companies know that digital transformation is essential and valuable, many of them typically struggle or fail with this implementation. The results are delivered late, go over budget, or simply cannot provide the outcomes they were originally conceived for. Not to mention the millions, or in some cases billions, of dollars spent.

After decades of successfully consulting with Fortune 500 companies, the team at Platinum PMO has developed procedures, practices, methodologies, and a digital transformation implementation platform that set the stage for a successful implementation of the digital transformation process. In “TheTransformation”, we share:

•The key steps involved in digital transformation
•Critical mistakes many companies make and how to avoid them
•How to build the proper connections throughout your company for successful implementation from the C-suite to the ground level
•How to use technology to stimulate innovation

The book was written to help you understand the “story” of a digital transformation and to provide the tools and framework for understanding the underlying processes that we have learned from decades in the industry. This book’s unique principles and techniques, which are needed for a successful implementation, have been embedded in a compelling story with interesting characters. It will hold your attention while you experience the process through the eyes of a new program manager, Mike Bennett, who is on a profound professional and personal journey.

From inception and budgeting to implementation, quality control, and effective communication tools, “The Transformation” details every important aspect for a successful digital transformation. Whether your company is just starting to consider this process or is along the way, you will find this book to be an indispensable guide for taking your company or organization successfully into the digital age.

Heroic Potential: Bringing Your True Self to Work for Higher Earnings, Increased Satisfaction, and Greater Well-being by Clint Barr

Within each of us lies the hero we’ve all been waiting for and want to become–our true self. Bringing this hero to work unleashes our greatest potential, resulting in higher earnings, increased satisfaction, and greater well-being. This book serves to help the struggling professional, executive, or entrepreneur in discovering their Inner Hero–which emerges with the convergence of heightened awareness, stronger boundaries, and improved communication.

Through his words and work, Clint Barr hopes to put an end to advice and mantras along the lines of “be like them,” “play the part,” and “fake it until you make it.” These concepts are often part of what we’re told to do. Such mindsets ultimately lead to lower performance output, displeasure with chosen profession, and higher stress levels from all things career and employment.

For too long, we continue sacrificing our sense of self and our happiness, never receiving what we want while pretending to be something we’re not. Heroic Potential offers a new paradigm from which to approach our lives, both professionally and personally. Through Clint’s knowledge of The Birkman Method, compelling case studies, and personal experiences, this book walks through five levels of self-work that lead to a greater understanding of who we are and the purpose for which each of us were created.
