Book Description
MEET THE MAN WITH NO NAME. WHEN THE SNOW FALLS, HE'S RUNNING. By all appearances, Cy Ford is no more than a quiet loner living in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He works as a conservation officer and prefers the company of his sled dogs. What nobody suspects is that Ford's past is a fractured one, and all of it, down to his name, is a lie. During the winter months, Ford moonlights as a drug-running dog sled musher, a lucrative sideline that's allowed him to amass a small fortune. With Christmas around the corner, Ford has decided to get out of the game, but it won't be that easy. When a turf war breaks out between his Canadian employer and a Detroit-based mobster, he finds himself forced into one last run he and his team may never reach the end of. What People are Saying about Cold Run "I read every piece of fiction and non-fiction about sled dogs that I can get my hands on, and no author or poet better captures the Klondike culture - at least no one since Jack London and Robert W. Service. The poet Service was right when he wrote that strange things are done in the midnight sun. Michael Dault proves it with his exquisite novel Cold Run." -Del Jones, author of The Cremation of Sam McGee "A bold, unique and intriguing approach to action-adventure fiction." -Suzanne Parrott, Author, Publisher, Speaker "I'm always prepared for a journey when reading Dault's work. His stories move you, tug at your heart, open your eyes in ways that life doesn't let you. A master storyteller that takes you on a ride every time, Cold Run had me captivated on every turn of the page." -Kevin Interdonato, Actor/Producer: City on a Hill, Sopranos, Bad Frank) "As you embark on this Cold Run, the story will take you on a powerful, exciting, and emotional ride, filled with twists and turns to a gripping conclusion. Dault is masterful at bringing all the characters in the book to life." -Kenyon Kemnitz, Sports Announcer

"The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold." —Robert W. Service, "The Cremation of Sam McGee" Jack Mabie claims to be the meanest man in Alaska, yet the old sourdough seems to be just one of the crusty geezers in every roadhouse bewildered by how his lawless frontier life has morphed into the pastel 1950s world of martini cocktail bars up and down Fairbanks' Second Avenue. Sonia Petrievich, an editor at The Gold, her father Hank's weekly pro-statehood paper, learns through the mukluk telegraph about Jack's gleeful account of murders and robberies and shell games during the gold rush days. Her breezy March 1957 profile lets Jack revel in newfound notoriety. Edna Ferber, not completely satisfied with her forthcoming novel Ice Palace, has just returned for further research and is fascinated by Jack and his wild tales. Plus the previous summer, young Athabascan lawyer Noah West, a war hero and Sonia's lover, bent on bettering the lives of Alaskan Natives, had sharpened Edna's sense of a corner of the territory she'd ignored: "I felt I'd lost sight of the real Alaska, the heartless icebox in the North, the blank-eyed old-timers still haunted by gold... I'd forgotten Alaska is still frontier...a violent, mysterious world below the glossy skin I'd written about." When Jack is found beaten to death, Noah becomes a suspect. Two violent deaths follow. Edna, Noah's advocate, decides she needs to clear his name, believing the murders are connected. As debates over potential statehood rage, Edna begins unearthing scandals and sordid stories hidden in Fairbanks but also dating back to village life in Fort Yukon and down into the Lower 48. What horrible secrets carried from the Arctic Circle have led to so many murders? And what novelist could stand aside from this story?

Book Description
Let's face it: there's a lot of sucky selling going on in the world today. Sellers have been trained to use artificial tactics in pursuit of the sale. Like a woman in a bar bracing for another cheesy, tired pickup line, customers are now warier than ever. In ''Love and Selling,'' Dan Smaida uses the Lens of Love to call out all those cheesy, cringe-worthy 'tactics' and offer more authentic alternatives. The book uses the simple lessons we all understand about love and relationships to transform the way we think about selling. No 'sales processes,' no seller-centric models, just tried-and-true behaviors that work in business . . . and in love. When sellers ditch the tricks and focus on developing true relationships, they create real partnerships with customers, enjoy their jobs more, and see better results.
