    Don't Get Mad at Penguins: And Other Ways to Detox the Conflict in Your Life and Business
    An indispensable tool kit for engaging and harnessing healthy conflict to drive success and happiness, and eliminate the pain and stress of toxic conflict. While most people view conflict as a bad thing that should be avoided at all costs, the reality is that embracing conflict in a healthy way is the single greatest factor in driving success and avoiding painful failure. Don't Get Mad at Penguins breaks down the factors that escalate conflict to dangerous heights and shows us how to defuse conflict and make it work for us rather than against us. Just as toxins in our bodies make us unhealthy, slow us down, and cause us pain, the same holds true for toxins in our organizations and minds. They cause healthy conflict to become destructive, which then consumes an organization's energy and taxes its ability to compete, grow, and prosper. Team engagements become pained, client relationships are strained, and individual careers suffer. The same unhealthy, painful dynamics play out in our personal lives as well. The key to making conflict work for our benefit lies in removing toxins from our interactions, and Don't Get Mad at Penguins offers simple yet powerfully effective tools to do just that.

    Shattered Pieces: Heathens Ink, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 344min
    I was sure my heart had withered away years ago, but then you smiled at me, and I felt it beat again. - Gage Years ago, I fell in love with my best friend's little brother. Then, he took his own life, leaving me shattered and unable to piece my heart back together. I've been a zombie for nine long years. Until a crazy, gorgeous man walked into Heathens Ink and injected color back into my world of gray. No matter how hard I try to resist Beck, he just won't give up on me. I would need steel willpower to withstand his gorgeous long legs in those high heels and his drawer full of lacy lingerie. But is this just a kinky hook up, or does it have the possibility for more? "We're both broken, but our jagged edges fit together well." - Beck When you're half of a whole, you never contemplate what life would be like without your matching piece. Since my twin sister, Brianna, died last year, nothing I do seems to quiet my soul. I know there has to be some way for me to feel happy and whole again. And, when I look into the pained eyes of the tattoo artist at Heathens Ink, I feel like I have a purpose. I can't explain it, but I feel like I have to find a way to put him back together. Shattered Pieces is the fourth book in the Heathens Ink series; each book in the series can be enjoyed as a standalone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kenneth Obi.

    Treason: A Catholic Novel of Elizabethan England , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
    As Stephen Long steps ashore in England one gray dawn in May 1581, he wonders how many more Catholics will have to die to make Queen Elizabeth feel secure. Involuntarily he trembles at the thought that soon he may be numbered among them. For in the days ahead, each time Stephen hears confession or celebrates Mass, he commits yet another act of high treason against the British Crown, for which Queen Elizabeth's swift penalty is gruesome torture and painful death. As Stephen hastens to find shelter away from that open beach, he struggles not only with fear but with doubt as well: "Is my mission foolish? Am I nothing more than fresh meat for the queen's butchers?" In the light of that same gray dawn, just a few miles north, a heartbroken Caroline Wingate lies awake in her unhappy marriage bed, wrestling with thoughts of a different - perhaps crueler - martyrdom. Although from her earliest years Caroline has known herself to be called to cloistered, contemplative life as a nun, some years ago she was forced by her father into a politically safe marriage with an upright Protestant from whom she must hide her Catholicism - and her true vocation - lest she, too, be executed for her faith. Hanging by the neck is swift martyrdom, but Caroline's doubts and guilt have pained her daily for years now. An exile in her own soul, in her lonely desolation she confesses, "I don't love my husband as I should. For safety's sake, I cannot give myself wholly to him and must deceive him daily. Nor can I give myself to the One I truly love." In a few days, circumstances will force Caroline and the young priest together. With death hastening toward both of them, the beautiful fates of these two faithful Catholics confirm what we today too often forget: Our faith is the most powerful force in the world - more powerful than politics, wars, or empires. ungekürzt.

    Manhattan Sucks: The Succubus Apprentice, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min
    Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction intended for a mature audience. All characters are over 18. This work follows the characters from Succubus Journey. In this installment, Kiki the vampire and Lorelei the dark elf sorceress implement their plan to take over Manhattan, at least the supernatural aspects of it. These two beautiful dangerous women as they wreak havoc through the greatest city in the world, in heels. Excerpt: "A dark elf?!" and the voice grew excited and shrill from the glowing orb. "Are you insane Kiki? How can you, even you, cooperate with one of them?" Kiki glared daggers again at the dark elf. "Please Xeno, hon, I can explain. She's a good dark elf." She glanced over at the sorceress and cocked her head reconsidering. "Okay, not good. But significantly less evil and maniacal than most. She's reasonable and can help us. Please, just let us in. I'm just asking for a few minutes hon" and now her tone was so very seductive, it was like mead, sweet and full and intoxicating. "I don't know" the mage said through the sphere, but his voice was clearly wavering. Again Lorelei had to give Kiki credit, and worry just a bit if the vampire was playing her. She couldn't see how but she imagined neither could the mage. She suspected the Professor knew, but sometimes knowing and being able to do a damn thing about it were so very far apart... Speaking of that worthy, the troll looked pained as he saw Kiki bite her lip and pout at the mage, or at least at the glowing orb he was using as a proxy. She still held his arm but all of her attention and heat was for this unseen mage. It wasn't jealousy Lorelei saw but weary resignation. It sparked her fury, which was never far beneath the surface for the dark elf. And besides she was weary of being kept waiting by this insufferable human... ungekürzt. Language: English.
