THE CELLINI MASTERPIECE

Does this sound like a medieval romance? A powerful noble regains a mysterious relic and intends to use it to establish his own kingdom. To do this, he must ally himself with an enemy who has his own deadly purposes for the talisman. The only ones who can stop them are a lone warrior and his lady.  The warrior is not Richard the Lionhearted but Rick Olsen, a 21st Century Minnesota farmer. The lady is Caterina, a beautiful and resourceful Maltese cab driver. Their quest is to rescue Rick's brother Stef from kidnappers. To do so, they must navigate a labyrinth of lies, puzzles, and centuries-old intrigues that are as dangerous today as the hour when they were concocted. They must also defeat a living noble and his terrorist ally, as well as overcome the ghosts of a 16th Century rogue alchemist in league with Benvenuto Cellini and Suleiman the Magnificent. With seconds remaining to prevent a worldwide environmental disaster, Rick and Caterina must reach back in time to find a weapon to defeat their enemies. Will they be able to use it before the terrorist can use his?

<p>Detroit Free Press reporter Timothy Wiggins learns of Harry Houdini’s death on Halloween 1926 with more than casual interest. He had been at the great magician’s final performance the night before. Wiggins had grown up as a sort of magician himself on the streets of London, stealing to survive. But then he met the real-life Sherlock Holmes, who made him his chief Bay Street Irregular. Now, years later, Holmes notifies Wiggins he is in the U.S. at the request of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who is being investigated as a possible murder suspect in Houdini’s death.  What follows is a mad dash to New York and Boston with a deranged Spiritualist medium on the tail of Holmes and his team of investigators: Wiggins, his feminist wife, and Rose Mackenburg, Houdini’s top investigator into phony Spiritualism, which was rampant at the time. In Boston, Sir Arthur introduces the team to Margie, the most highly regarded Spiritualist of the day. Her séance and the bizarre form of treasure hunt that follows leads to a stunning climax that will change everyone’s perception of Holmes’s character.</p>

Make "Be a Proactive Dad" your New Year's Resolution for 2013. If you want a book that you need to read cover to cover before helping your kids then this book isn't for you. If you want a book that gets right to the point and easy to use then keep reading. This book is to help dads have meaningful conversations with their children and be proactive in their lives. Dads have different perspectives on life so this book was written to help each dad bring personal examples into the conversation. This book will create a unique set of stories for each dad because we all have different opinions on how to raise children. This book doesn’t tell dads how to raise children but provides a methodology to help dads pass along advice and wisdom to prepare children for the opportunities and challenges life brings. This book was written by dads for dads. The book is easy to use, limited instructions, and gets right to the point. Dad can make an immediate impact without spending countless hours reading a boring book. A few simple instructions then start sharing life lessons with the kids. This isn’t a typical book, we HIGHLY encourage Dad to write in it, change what doesn’t work and truly make this book his own. If you aren’t sold already then keep reading. ____________________________ Why Dad will read and use this book: *This book was written to help Dad pass down his advice and wisdom in just a few minutes a day. *Dad will improve his children's lives, reduce future problems and prepare the kids for a life of happiness and success. *This book does not tell Dad how to raise his kids but provides a proactive approach to pass down life lessons. Dad already has the knowledge, this book gives him an easy way to communicate life lessons to the kids. *If you need advice, have questions or have feedback visit the Proactive Dad Facebook page. *Once Dad completes the book the child will always have Dad’s knowledge within arms reach. Both authors lost their fathers so this book was written as a type of “knowledge insurance.” The authors wanted to make sure they could leave their kids a book of Dad’s knowledge that could be revisited at any time. *Chapter 16 covers the "Proactive Dad Certificate" which the kids can give to Dad once a certain number of lessons are completed. This is a sneaky way to be sure Dad uses this book. Once Dad does start using the book he won’t need any tricks to keep using it.

Be a Proactive Dad: Dad's workbook to pass down advice and wisdom to those that matter most...his children.
