This reader-friendly book sheds new light on addressing the conflicts we face daily with our boss, our children, and our spouses. It teaches us about our troublesome shadow temperament and how we can learn to appreciate the temperaments of others to reduce the conflict in our own lives. Colorful characters named Dom and Shad will help readers learn whether their dominant preference or shadow preference is Earth, Air, Fire or Water—one of the basic elements.

"Keeping Our Teens Safe on the Road Should be No Accident!" is a book aimed at helping parents and other adult drivers provide guidance and instruction to their teens who are learning how to drive. The book demonstrates how temperament influences teens (just as it does adults) when they are behind the wheel and suggests a greater awareness of such influence can make them better and safer drivers. This quick read also provides a "Parental Temperament Checklist" that can be kept in the glove compartment and used in the car, in real-time, for discussions on the topic of temperament. This book is especially important for use during the first 1,000 miles of a teen's driving experience--the time when most accidents occur.

The MV Militobi, a German rescue ship, teeming with 600 Arab, African, and South Asian migrants, patrols the Mediterranean Sea and learns that all European ports refuse entry to asylum-seekers. Captain Anna Kruger has a decision to make: return immediately to the nearest port to place passengers in a detention camp for deportation or head to an uncharted island she found on an old map as a temporary solution.\nSanta Inez Island is a paradise with plenty of food, water, and shelter and is already the home of hundreds of migrants. Modern-day pirates, led by Commandant Rafael Delgado, kidnap Captain Kruger and thirty female passengers as soon as they set foot on the island. The remaining ship's crew is given one month to bring back a million Euro ransom or the hostages will be put to death!\nUnder the cover of darkness, First Officer Jorge Estrada leads the crew back to mount a rescue. Unarmed and undermanned, he must persuade all three villages, segregated by Delgado's men on the island, to join him or the rescue will fail. His challenge? All three groups believe the pirates protect them from the violence of the other villages.\nThroughout this novel, Captain Kruger, Commandant Delgado, Jorge Estrada, and a cast of memorable, migrant characters inhabit a magnificent island that brims with life. Fast-paced and entertaining, Finding Eden and its complementary additions (audio clips and deleted chapters) make for an elegantly constructed and timely story of the monumental challenges facing asylum-seekers today and the people who give their lives to help them.
