You’d be hard-pressed to find a leader who doesn’t want to be better.
Yet, at a time when leaders are being asked to do more with fewer resources, modern professionals are having a difficult time leading in a distinctive, powerful, and transformative way. At a time when leaders are feeling besieged, the question is: to whom should they turn to learn, develop, and embody a new form of inspired leadership? For some, the answer may be surprising. As we start to appreciate the diversity in our world and the talent that comes from underserved markets and underrepresented communities, our society has a great opportunity to refashion our workplaces, rethink how we lead our social organizations and educational institutions, and rebuild our communities. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Davis Brown demonstrates how the values and norms of the LGBTQ+ community are instructive for leaders in all types of business and industry and can serve as the foundation for a bold, new brand of transformative leadership.
Using quantitative and qualitative research methods, Dr. Davis Brown conducted a study to illuminate the lived experiences and cultural values of the LGBTQ+ community.

The Forbearing Mage: The Adventures of Jack Wartnose by A. S. Norris

The Forbearing Mage: The Adventures of Jack Wartnose by A. S. Norris

They say blood is thicker than water.

Unfortunately, if Jack Wartnose is not careful, it will be his blood proving that axiom!

Still on the trail of the Tome of Time, novice Mage Jack Wartnose is confronted by another spectre of his past – Margaret Stormgale, his estranged and vengeful daughter. When she’s not hounding him with her razor-tongue wit, she’s hunting him with her mother’s razor-sharp spear!

But if grappling with the sins of his past wasn’t perilous enough, the disdainful eye of the Inquisition draws down upon him and his quest. And who should be at the tip of the Inquisition’s spear but yet another of Wartnose’s former “acquaintances.”

With all eyes bearing down upon him, can Jack Wartnose continue his quest for not only the Tome of Time, but for atonement? Or will he fall victim to one of the many foes set against him: his estranged daughter, a jilted Inquisition lover, his suspicious superiors at the Mage Council, a sinister figure now shadowing his quest for the tome… or his none-to-pleased wife?

The Magic of Sea Glass by Jenny Hale

The Magic of Sea Glass by Jenny Hale

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Summer House, with over one million copies of her books sold, comes a heartwarming beach read, perfect for fans of Sheila Roberts, Jill Shalvis, and Debbie Macomber.

After the loss of her fiancé a year ago, event planner Lauren Sutton can’t seem to go on with her choice of career or the life she’d built with her fiancé any longer. Floundering emotionally, she makes a snap decision to sell her half of the business and spend the summer among the sand dunes and changing tides of the Outer Banks, taking care of an old inn in Rodanthe, North Carolina with its elderly owner Mary Everett.

Perhaps the salty breezes of the Atlantic and the warmth of summer sun on her face will help her find her direction. What she doesn’t expect to find is a story hidden away in a string of sea glass that will change her life forever.

And complicating things is local fisherman Brody Harrison. All she’d wanted was to sink her toes in the sand and let the coastal breeze calm her aching heart. But Brody shakes up her plan in ways she’d never imagined.

An uplifting summer escape that will strengthen your family bonds and have you believing in the incredible power of love. If you enjoyed the TV movies based on Jenny’s books and are looking for more feel-good, small-town romance, look no further!

One Night With Finnbar by Leo D’Lance

One Night With Finnbar by Leo D'Lance

One Night With Finnbar by Leo D’Lance is the story of two men; Martin Atwater and Finnbar, a bondservant.
This tale of revenge, blackmail, betrayal, and murder is set in the Georgian era of 1767, in London, England where the infraction of any of the over 160 laws in the Bloody Code could see a man hanged.
It begins when Martin visits his uncle’s country estate where he discovers a strikingly handsome stable boy; a bondservant called Finnbar. Martin’s uncle has secured a commission for him in the Royal Fusiliers, and he convinces his uncle to allow him to take Finnbar along to be trained as his orderly.
Back in London, waiting for the commencement of his enlistment, Martin grows bored and restless. He quickly falls back into his old routine of drinking, gambling, and a barely closeted homosexual lifestyle. It’s only a matter of time before it all catches up with him.
Finnbar is forced to live by his own resources when he is turned away from the posh gentlemen’s club where Martin is staying. But London is unforgiving for an innocent country boy, and Finnbar must quickly learn how to navigate this dangerously unfamiliar world.
Just as Martin’s plans for escaping his ill-spent past seem to be coming together, Edmond Mattox, a sinister figure from his boarding school days, appears on the scene to exact revenge and settle an old score.
To satisfy his blackmailer’s demands, Martin sacrifices Finnbar. But Martin has a score of his own to settle, and in a fit of rage, he murders Mattox.
But who will pay the price?
Written for an adult readership.
