Book Description
GEORGE JERJIAN is a mindset mentor, author, and speaker who retired after being given just six months to live by his doctor. Thankfully, the diagnosis was wrong and as soon as he could, he "unretired" and set to work, helping his tribe of baby boomers do the same. George has a business degree from Bradford University in England and a master's degree in journalism from New York University. He has been in business for over 40 years, working as a Chartered Marketer, a partner in US commercial real estate, and a financial adviser. He has authored 10 books, is an Emmy award-winning producer, a Distinguished Toastmaster, and founder of Retirement Rebellion. "Winston Churchill was just hitting his stride in his mid-sixties when he was elected Prime Minister of Great Britain and led the Allied Forces into WW2. Colonel Sanders, at the age of 65, began franchising KFC using his first Social Security check. Dare to Discover Your Purpose provides the mindset blueprint required to kickstart your so-called "retirement" years into high gear." Bob Proctor, Bestselling Author of You Were Born Rich, Toronto, Canada "Jerjian's unique book can help retirees discover their life 'purpose.' His DARE method guides retiring boomers to delve into their hearts and minds to create a blueprint for a new life of purpose and passion in the third age of life. This book can help reframe retirement and transform obstacles into opportunities." Ken Dychtwald, PhD, author of What Retirees Want and Radical Curiosity, Orinda, CA, USA "You can retire from work, but you can't retire from life. George Jerjian explains the vital importance of having purpose in later life and how to find it." Maggy Pigott, CBE, Author of How to Age Joyfully: Eight Steps to a Happier, Fuller Life, London, UK "If you didn't tiptoe through most of your life, why would you 'tiptoe to a quiet death'? It's the fundamental question George Jerjian asks all of us to consider as he challenges us to re-evaluate what it means to live life with hope, optimism, and empowerment. We all should dare to live Jerjian's rebellious retirement." Peter Kaldes, President & CEO, American Society on Aging, San Francisco, CA, USA "George Jerjian is a rebel with a cause. His cause is to awaken and inspire mid-lifers so they can prepare for the next stage of life. His key point is that every individual has the power to create a future that works for them, where they can flourish and prosper. But this will not just drop in your lap, it takes willingness and work. I commend George's work to you, so read this book, and get started on your journey of the rest of your life." Hunter Leonard, Bestselling Author, Founder Silver & Wise, Sydney, Australia To meet George Jerjian in person is one of life's great treats, but if you can't meet him personally, this little book of his will recharge the batteries of your life and change the way you think and behave. Wherever you go, you will create value and the planet will be a better place as a result. Professor Malcolm McDonald MA(Oxon) MSc PhD DLitt DSc, Emeritus Professor, Cranfield University School of Management, UK "George Jerjian's DARE method maps why and how to 'unretire' and provides the tools to help you find your own unique purpose."

Book Description
Governments pay her. Criminals fear her. Nobody sees her coming. Vanessa “Michael” Munroe deals in information—expensive information—working for corporations, heads of state, private clients, and anyone else who can pay for her unique brand of expertise. Born to missionary parents in lawless central Africa, Munroe took up with an infamous gunrunner and his mercenary crew when she was just fourteen. As his protégé, she earned the respect of the jungle's most dangerous men, cultivating her own reputation for years until something sent her running. After almost a decade building a new life and lucrative career from her home base in Dallas, she's never looked back. Until now. A Texas oil billionaire has hired her to find his daughter who vanished in Africa four years ago. It’s not her usual line of work, but she can’t resist the challenge. Pulled deep into the mystery of the missing girl, Munroe finds herself back in the lands of her childhood, betrayed, cut off from civilization, and left for dead. If she has any hope of escaping the jungle and the demons that drive her, she must come face-to-face with the past that she’s tried for so long to forget. The first book in the Vanessa Michael Munroe series, gripping, ingenious, and impeccably paced, The Informationist marks the arrival or a thrilling new talent. “Stevens’s blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesn’t have to kick over a hornet’s nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander….Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner.” —Publishers Weekly, starred, boxed review

Book Description
“A razor-smart sci-fi corporate noir nightmare. Dare to Know is what happens when Willy Loman sees through the Matrix. A heartbreaking, time-bending, galactic mindbender delivered in the mordantly funny clip of a doomed antihero.”—Daniel Kraus, co-author of The Shape of Water Now in paperback, this mind-bending and emotional speculative thriller is set in a world where the exact moment of your death can be predicted—for a price, featuring an excerpt from the upcoming Bride of the Tornado. Our narrator is the most talented salesperson at Dare to Know, an enigmatic company that has developed the technology to predict anyone’s death down to the second. Divorced, estranged from his sons, and broke, he's driven to violate the cardinal rule of the business by forecasting his own death day. The problem: his prediction says he died twenty-three minutes ago. The only person who can confirm its accuracy is Julia, the woman he loved and lost during his rise up the ranks of Dare to Know. As he travels across the country to see her, he’s forced to confront his past, the choices he's made, and the terrifying truth about the company he works for. Wildly ambitious and highly immersive, this thought-provoking thriller explores the destructive power of knowledge and collapses the boundaries between reality, myth, and conspiracy as it races toward its shocking conclusion.

Book Description
When a thirteen-year-old boy declares war on the most powerful drug lord in the city, the fallout could cost both sides everything they care about. An undercover op goes awry, landing Detective Phillip "Dare" Darren in the hospital and his son, JT, back on the streets. Declaring war on the man responsible, JT returns to his life as an informant and swears to get his revenge by destroying Terrence Maxwell's entire empire. Revenge works both ways, and the kickback may destroy every aspect of Dare and JT's lives. Allegations surface that threaten to taint every case they've worked together. Worse, a vicious attack on JT threatens to shatter the bond between father and son. Confronted with proof that JT leaked the condemning evidence to the police and faced with a lifetime in prison, Dare finds himself questioning if even God has turned against him. It would take a miracle for JT to see him as anything more than a monster, and Dare finds his faith in miracles stretching pretty thin. As their lives unravel, Maxwell positions himself to unite all the gangs in the city under him. If Dare and JT lose faith in each other, the war has already been lost.
