DESCRIPTION:

Jeremy Walsh’s parents assume he’s been abducted by the elderly man he met on a cross-country flight, but it’s the other way around.

Two unlikely companions meet in midair: 13-year-old Jeremy, sent against his will by his career-absorbed father to spend the summer with his bipolar mother, and Harry, one-legged and afflicted with mid-stage Alzheimer’s, who escapes the confinement of home for what may be his last adventure. Their journey begins, trailed by Harry’s wife and Jeremy’s parents, who threaten to cut it short. It’s a race against time and circumstance.

“In Adrian Magnuson’s Taking Flight a curmudgeon losing his memory and a snarky teen fleeing his parents find a common passion in bird watching. Endearing characters, delightful story and a poignant final scene give this book wings along with the beautifully depicted birds.” –Frances Wood, author of Brushed by Feathers: A Year of Birdwatching in the West

“Taking Flight is an evocative and moving contemporary novel. It is, at every level, a story about love. For one character it is a coming of age tale, for the other the end of an age. Both are runaways, yet each ultimately is searching for home. I highly recommend this heart-touching, beautifully written book.” –Andrea Hurst, president of Andrea Hurst Literary Management

“Filled with well-developed, real-life characters, Taking Flight’s heart-breaking but satisfying story hits on all cylinders: action, comedy, and emotion.” –Terry Persun, award winning author of Sweet Song

When they met it was murder…

DI Laura Kesey is handed the case of a nineteen-year-old female victim of domestic violence. Sally has severe facial bruising but is not prepared to give evidence due to previous bad experiences with the legal system.

Kesey refers Sally to the hospital social worker, and soon Sally accepts a place at the local women’s domestic violence refuge managed by Ivy, a survivor who had long since decided to take matters into her own hands… 

Meanwhile, a man is run down and killed on a remote country road.

As Sally is drawn deeper into the refuge group, the police begin an investigation into the hit and run.

Soon other men’s deaths follow, but there is no evidence to justify action against any of the refuge’s residents.

Does Kesey have her sights on the wrong suspects this time?

The clock is ticking…

DESCRIPTION:

Are you struggling to build a culture that attracts and retains the right people and delivers strong financial results? Learn how 32 companies including Netflix and Southwest Airlines have turned culture into a formidable competitive advantage.
Culture is the operating system of a company. It is the way people behave with each other when you aren’t looking, and it can be the difference between a company that grows and thrives, and one that sputters to a halt. Book co-Author Culturati has been hosting annual conferences on culture-building for five years, curating the very best thinking on how to build strong, resilient and vibrant workplaces. Co-Author Weeva helps companies like LendingTree and Zappos create gorgeous company culture books.
In The Culture Book, we debate:

  • Who owns company culture? Is it the CEO, the C-suite or everybody or nobody
  • Is culture all about values, or behavior, or something else
  • Does culture have an ROI or is it just squishy?
  • Can you copy culture? Can yours be copied?
  • How do you get a handle on what your culture IS, versus what you think it is or wish it were?

You’ll learn from 32 masters including:

  • Patty McCord, former Chief People Officer of Netflix and the author of Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility
  • Kim Malone Scott, author of the NYT and WSJ bestseller Radical Candor, and a former leader at Google and Apple
  • Tamara Fields, Accenture’s head of diversity and inclusion
  • Lanham Napier, former CEO of RackSpace, now co-founder of venture fund BuildGroup
  • Mark McClain, CEO of SailPoint, and GlassDoor’s #1 rated CEO
  • Ginger Hardage, former SVP at Southwest Airlines, leader of their Culture and Communications Group, now the founder of the consultancy Unstoppable Cultures
