When renowned professor Dr. Aidan Ryan vanishes without explanation, he

their lives. But as they edge closer to escape, one question remains: Will
Aidan choose his family or The Brotherhood?

The Orchestrators Blitz

Pre-Apocalyptic Science Fiction

Date Published: January 15, 2025

Publisher: Manhattan Book Group

The year is 2360. A select group of a half million humans, the only
survivors of global warming and the “Race Wars”, are living a
Spartan lifestyle and exhibiting loss of memory and emotions resulting from
mind-altering drugs created by world leaders known as the Orchestrators. The
drugs markedly slowed metabolism and aging, making them ideal for prolonging
the lives of humans requiring long periods of travel in space. Henry Shannon
is being groomed as the next Orchestrator who will lead a mission to
Jupiter, hoping to find an inhabitable moon that can accommodate the humans
remaining on Earth. After discovering that the moons of Jupiter are
uninhabitable, Henry reluctantly agrees to return to Earth, ultimately
bolstered by news that global warming somehow has given way to global
cooling. During the return trip home, his wife is killed when an asteroid
collides with their spaceship. Depressed and increasingly concerned about
survival of the human race, Henry presses on and successfully lands his
group back on Earth, which bears little resemblance to the planet they
remembered. The returning passengers encounter strange new animal species
and are stunned to find that Earth has been repopulated by a group of humans
previously known as Tunnel People because of their subterranean lifestyle.
Their Supreme Leader, Lillian Goodman, a long-time opponent of the
Orchestrators, somehow alters the Tunnel People who now have advanced
technologies, an above-ground life of opulence, and apparent immortality. As
Henry unravels the nefarious means employed by the Supreme Leader to create
this Utopian state, he discovers why these new humans remain desperately
dependent on his passengers for maintaining their immortal status, and must
decide whether to cooperate or resist and face his own mortality.

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.

The Treasure of Loon Lake Blitz

Wholesome Romance

Publication Date: 02/11/2025

Publisher: Harbor Lane Books, LLC

In a few hours, MOLLY MAGUIRE’s life implodes. After her
apartment burns down, a lawyer shows up at her office informing her that a
distant relative left her a home in Loon Lake, Wisconsin. Then she’s
fired. With nothing holding her back, and nowhere else to go, she heads to
the small town.

Young retiree, GRANT REEM sold his tech start-up and was
contacted by the owner of his family’s favorite vacation spot with an
interesting next act: buy a tour boat company in Loon Lake. With nothing
stopping him, and always putting his trust in the universe, Grant buys the
business and moves across the country. When he bumps into the one who got
away, his college girlfriend Molly, he’s thrilled, but she’s not
the same go-getter who dumped him.

Molly’s new home floods the first night, and she
escapes to the Inn with a few dry belongings. She bumps into Grant and
learns of the local legend about her family’s curse. When she uncovers
a treasure map, she decides to take a chance with Grant’s
encouragement. As they search for the treasure, however, they met unexpected
opposition, learn about local superstitions, and have to decide if
fate—or some other force—wants them to win or lose.
