Lead Like a Pro, Inspire Like a Leader Blitz

Lead Like a Pro, Inspire Like a Leader banner

Nonfiction / Leadership

In the dynamic and demanding field of healthcare, effective leadership is
paramount. “Lead Like A PRO, Inspire Like A LEADER: 6 Core Pillars For
Healthcare Leaders” by Dr. Michael Rivera is not your typical
leadership read; it is a practical guide rooted in real-world experience,
specifically tailored for leaders in the healthcare industry. Rather than
delving into abstract mindsets, Dr. Rivera offers tangible advice drawn from
years of firsthand experience.

Structured around a framework of six essential pillars, this book outlines
the core principles crucial for success in healthcare leadership. These
pillars are not arbitrary; they have been carefully chosen because without
them, achieving success in healthcare becomes an uphill battle.

One of the main challenges healthcare leaders face is the constant barrage
of distractions and pressing issues. It’s easy to get caught up in
firefighting mode, losing sight of the foundational aspects that ensure
smooth operations on a day-to-day basis. Too often, leaders fixate on a few
major issues while neglecting others, resulting in overall
inefficiency.

What do a comatose old woman, a dying gang member, and a brutal assault on
a teenage boy have in common? Derek Hollinger isn’t sure, but he knows
they’re all connected to the mysterious tattoos that suddenly appeared
across his body.

Determined to untangle the web spun by the vicious thug known as
“Spider,” Derek embarks on a journey of redemption that leads
from his lavish L.A. penthouse to the seedy world of underground fighting
and human trafficking. But as he ventures deeper down the rabbit hole, the
self-exiled plastic surgeon realizes that the answer lies within his heart

Faith is the key to reclaiming his life, but choosing God may be difficult
for Derek, who has spent his entire career valuing material success over

In this thrilling sequel to 21 Tattoos, Derek must face the hard truth
about where his tattoos came from and an even harder truth about what it
will take to be free of them once and for all.

The Salvation of Henry Maxwell Blitz

Gothic Thriller

Date Published: September 18, 2024

Publisher: Wild Rose Press Inc.

Henry Maxwell, once a celebrated figure in Gothic horror cinema, finds
himself trapped in a life of grief, resulting in severe depression and
hallucinations after the tragic death of his wife, Lillian. Maxwell’s
battle with reality sets the stage for his emotional and psychological
exploration. The novel captures the essence of a man haunted by his past,
struggling to find solace.

Jessica Barrow, the young attorney appointed as Maxwell’s
conservator, and David Grovene, a film studies professor with a penchant for
sixties B-movies, form the central supporting cast. Their involvement in
Maxwell’s life brings a fresh perspective to his plight, blending elements
of clinical psychology and film history into the story.

The setting itself acts like a character, reflecting Maxwell’s
internal turmoil and the Gothic essence of his past. A mysterious serial
killer adds a layer of creepiness mirroring scenes from Maxwell’s
films interweaving the past and present, making for a compelling and
suspenseful read.

The Salvation of Henry Maxwell is a unique blend of Gothic horror,
psychological thriller, and detective story. The Salvation of Henry Maxwell
is imbued with a sense of tragic grandeur and serves as an underlying
commentary on the ephemeral nature of fame and the enduring impact of
grief.
