Doing Good and Doing Well Virtual Book Tour

Nonfiction / Leadership

Date Published: 12/24/23

INSPIRING HELPING PROFESSIONALS TO BECOME LEADERS IN THEIR
ORGANIZATIONS

This book is the product of a 30-year career (and counting!) focused on
doing good in the world, spent on trying to improve the quality of life of
self and others, and dedicated to fulfilling the needs of those most in
need.

In it, Michael shares his personal experiences with organizational
leadership and his insights on what makes a good leader in the helping
professions, incorporating anecdotes, case studies, and current cultural
profiles to illustrate his points and arguments.

Though not a memoir, each chapter of this narrated guidebook reflects the
author’s viewpoints on the essential and extolled roles helpers hold
in the workplace and why their particular contributions and talents have
never been needed more and should be valued like never before.

People who do good in the world can also do well—more than that, they
deserve to do well on the basis of their altruism and commitment. If
you’re looking to advance your helping professional career while
simultaneously advancing the human condition for the people you serve and
for society at large, you’ll find much in these pages that speaks to
you … and hopefully inspires you to make even more of a difference
than you already are.

A Just Revenge Virtual Book Tour

Fiction

Date Published: August 26, 2024

Publisher: MindStir Media

Sean Roberts loved farming and his girlfriend. After they broke up she
disappeared into San Francisco’s drug filled hippie environment of the
1960s. Her parents were frantic and no one in their small-town seemed able
to help them find their daughter. They reached out to Sean and he agreed to
search for their lost daughter.

His search forced Sean to assume his nom de plume, George Wescot and enter
a world of extreme wealth and of people who only cared about their own
pleasures and not the pain it caused other people. George uses his skills
learned from hunting, fighting and evasion to penetrate this sadistic
society. Subsequently, he pursued across the United States, India, and
Europe. Finally, Sean stopped running from the Brothers, and started hunting
those people who caused his ex-girlfriend’s and her family’s pain from
injuries she sustained.

EXCERPT

“Justice shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live,” Jewish Publication

Society 1917. According to Hebrew scholars, “justice this is truth.”

Those Hebrew scholars also believed “Justice is approved by God and to

deny it one must face the consequences.” Revenge for a just cause is morally

acceptable. Revenge for a just cause is therefore morally acceptable

in God’s eyes. In 1625 Francis Bacon wrote, “the most tolerable type of

revenge concerns those wrongs which no law can remedy.”

The two boys sat on the hard reddish oak plank floor surrounded by

dark paneled walls, smoking a joint. San Francisco’s late May noon sun

warmed their room. They were bored. One casually said, as if discussing

a meaningless subject, “Let’s take her, she’ll make a great fuckin’ prize.”

His partner’s alabaster skin glistened as his snake eyes became slits. He

snapped, “Ya, we’ll do it,” and took another hit. With those few words,

she disappeared. Her fantasy ended and her nightmare began.

About the Author

I have been a writer all my life. I wasn’t very good partly because I’m
dyslexic and partly because of my dyslexia I was a terrible reader. But I
love to write and therefore wrote often. I wrote many stories. One was
published in a magazine. Before the pandemic I started writing my first
novel,”Farm Tough”, and self published it. The book got good
reviews from readers but wasn’t promoted. Shortly thereafter, I started to
write “A Just Revenge” partly about my time at Yuba College, Chico
State College, Los Angeles and finally Europe. I found that I write best
when I write about something I know, about something I’ve done or about
something I feel.

Vaccines & Bayonets Virtual Book Tour

Fighting Smallpox in Africa amid Tribalism, Terror and the Cold War

Historical Memoir

Publisher: Audiobook Empire

Narrator: Claudia Dunn

Run Time: Estimated 9.5 hours to 10 hours

Step into the heart of a turbulent era with Vaccines & Bayonets, a
gripping historical memoir that chronicles one woman’s extraordinary
journey through Africa. In this vivid recounting, Bee Bloeser unveils the
raw reality of her family’s part in the mission to eradicate smallpox,
revealing the triumphs and trials faced along the way.

As a young wife, Bee Bloeser followed her husband, Carl, to Africa, driven
by ideals and a sense of duty. In Nigeria the ravages of civil war and the
plight of starving Biafran children captured global attention. Amidst the
chaos, she witnessed the horrors of smallpox and leprosy, yet found moments
of beauty in the vibrant local culture.

Their journey continued in Equatorial Guinea, a nation newly independent
but plagued by the terror of a brutal dictatorship. In this land where
secrecy shrouded the people, Bee Bloeser confronted a world far removed from
her idealistic expectations. Forbidden from forming connections with locals
and surrounded by a landscape of oppression and suspicion, she documented
her experiences in hidden notes, capturing the essence of a desperate
struggle.

Through her eyes, listeners experience the intense battle against a
relentless virus and against tyranny. This memoir is not just a story of
medical triumph but also a poignant reflection on humanity’s capacity
for courage—the indomitable spirit of those who risk everything for a
better future.
