Our paths through life are determined, in part, by the people we meet. Some have no effect on us at all, while others pivot us directly towards our destiny. Happily married Charlie and Zoe Stone have everything except the one thing that will make them feel complete: a child. Longing to become parents, their marriage becomes doomed through devastating circumstances beyond their control. His marriage over, Charlie moves across town and meets a whole new set of friends, one of whom invites him to try something new; to experience, at least once, the intimacy that a man can bring to another man. Charlie agrees, thus bringing a seismic shift to his life, a new journey that he totally embraces. A journey through which he meets Liam. But is it all over for Charlie and Zoe, or does Charlie have the inner strength to stay true to his natural self? My captivating third novel follows Charlie Stone as he enters the LGBT world, gets comfortable, and then finds love. This soul-searching book will make you cry a lot and laugh even more as you join Charlie in his life-changing journey.

Haegar Ruthborne is a Vruskman of the Winterwood, fiercely proud of the forest that has provided his family with shelter and sustenance for generations.But evil has awoken in its dark heart and a malevolent force is animating corpses with murderous intent. Forced to accept an unspeakable reality, Haegar reluctantly abandons his home. With his family and a small band of villagers, he heads westward to seek protection from the Old King.Their road leads to the turbulent Tagalfr, the River of Rushing Ice. The only way across is the Gated Bridge of Farrenhall, but its Lord, Kalivaz Varkoth, has sealed the gates and set the Myrmidons, a cadre of elite zealot-warriors, to guard them.Kasara, daughter of the Lord of the Bridge, is stunned and ashamed by her father's abandonment of his people. She vows to save them, no matter the cost.With their escape route blocked, Haegar and the other Vruskmen are at the mercy of a menacing army of undead men and beasts. As night inexorably approaches, Kasara and Haegar make increasingly desperate plans.In a battle where death is not the end but a horrific beginning, they must cross the River of Rushing Ice or become forever enslaved by the darkness haunting the Winterwood.

A walk through the night and into the coming dawn.

Self-confidence is the foundation of all personal success. With self-confidence you will try new things, go to new places, and set larger and more ambitious goals. With self-confidence you have a greater ability to be creative, to accept new challenges, and to bring opportunity into your life. When others observe your self-confidence they recognize that you have the confidence to handle important or difficult situations, and opportunities will flow towards you. Women for some reason tend to start out with less confidence than men and, for girls, confidence is not made to be as important in development as it is in boys. But here's something to think about... women with confidence ask for more, expect more and so tend to get more in return. They enjoy better jobs, better salaries and better social lives. This confidence allows them to try new things, visit new places and experience more from life. Some women start out with confidence but have it sucked from them after a series of poor relationships, career setbacks or personal failures. Others never had it to begin with and live their lives in the shadows of what could have been. The good news is that, like any other trait in life, confidence can be acquired, grown and enhanced. Armed with confidence there is very little you cannot do and no matter where you are starting from that's a powerful feeling you are going to know how to enjoy by the end of this book! You will learn: - How to put negative experiences behind you - The power of competence - The joy of increasing your options - Playing to win and working out with winners - Turning defeat into victory - The power of positive self-talk and visualization - Dressing for a more confident you - Confidence and the physical connection - Why you should stop comparing yourself to others - The power of your smile and body language - The laws of karma - Why you should fake it when in doubt! - The 5 steps to building confidence in others

Have you ever wondered why some people are living in mansions while others struggle to pay the rent on a bedsit apartment? Why some have no trouble getting a job and shooting up the corporate ladder while others stay stuck in boring low paying jobs? Why some people travel the world first class while others ride the Greyhound bus? I did, and when I was twenty-seven years old, I decided to change things once and for all and make sure I was the guy with the house the cars and the retirement program. My life changed after listening to a series of audiotapes, lent to me by a friend about how to get more from life. I was so simple and empowering I was hooked at once. I started goal setting and developing plans for my life instead of aimlessly hoping that something would just come along. The results were fast and staggering, I went from living in a one-bedroom apartment, with not one bit of furniture, somehow surviving on $7,800 a year to a to $128,000 in just 12 months! The following year I moved to a beautiful 3-story home in a gate guarded golf community and joined the club! The most amazing thing is anyone could have done what I did. There was no magic wand, no new job, no inheritance or angel investor. I did not go back to school it was just me and a focused plan of goals and action backed by the motivation of knowing that the outcome was a forgone conclusion if I saw it through. The truth is most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their life! What a shame that is for there is so much more you could see, do, own and experience if only you devoted a little time to getting your life map right! - If you are going to work five days a week any why not get paid six figures? - If you are going to go on vacation why not see Paris, London, Rome, New York and all the great cities of the world? - If you are passionate about a sport why not see the game live from a skybox, instead of on TV? - If you have to drive to work why not drive in style? - Heck let's forget work and figure out how to retire at 40 or 50, it can be done! But of course, success is not just about what you can do for yourself it also about what you can do for others? - A private school or college education for your kids - A nurse for your aging parents - Help your church build a school or mission - Start your own foundation or charity - When you maximize your time and talents your multiple your options exponentially Success Does Not Care Who You Are! Young or old, black or white, Christian or atheist, American or Zambian. Success does not care who you are, where you are from or even what you have done in the past. You don't need a college degree, heck I didn't even fish high school, what you need is a life plan, a step by step map of exactly what you must do to get from where you are now to the life, love and things you always dreamed of... Are you ready to design a power roadmap to maximize your full potential because if so, I am ready to help lead the way... Let's get started!

The Golf Business Is Changing And Changing Fast! Since I wrote the first edition of this book back in 2005 the golf business has been turned upside down by many things including the 2008 recession, changes in lifestyle, the internet and the advent of third-party tee time vendors. There are new rules for golf marketing. In fact, rather than rules, they are more like laws. If you break them, you will not succeed. There are plenty of courses that won't make the 36-hole cut in a tough market, which means they won't be playing at all on the weekend! That may not be you, but I urge you to read this book carefully. It is based on real marketing results from the thousands of clubs, resorts, golf schools and destinations worldwide that Legendary Marketing has helped with their marketing.

A collection of poetry ranging from breakups to finding love.

A book of poetry centering on images of the night.

The wife.But he isn't the only one with a secret. Back in London, Simon Banks' indiscretion with a work colleague threatens to destroy his marriage. Simon's life descends further into turmoil as a devastating family secret is revealed following a burglary at his father's house.Torn on all fronts, Simon must exert substantial fortitude as he battles to solve his problems - can he get his life back together while discovering, and then confronting, the killer?Andrew Wood's unforgettable first novel is a gripping modern day tale of rivalries and betrayal, as a mediocre software company becomes embroiled in corruption, collusion...and murder.

The most important book ever published in the golf industry, The Golf Sales Bible by Andrew Wood. The weakest area at just about every golf club happens to be the most important. Very few clubs can honestly say they are good at selling anything be it memberships, outings, events, high ticket lesson programs or tee times.

In fact, just a small increase in sales effectiveness in the office, at the counter or in the pro shops can add tens of thousands of dollars, pounds, euros or yen to your bottom line!

Incremental improvement at each phase of the sales process leads to ASTONISHINGLY greater results. Which is why, NO marketing campaign should ever be undertaken without first having a sales system in place. Dramatically Boost Your Club's Membership, Outing, Event and Lesson Sales With... The Golf Sales Bible! - Want to know EXACTLY what to do when the prospect says he has to "think about it"? The exact scripted answer can be found in the objection chapter. - How about the perfect way to address rumors of unhappy members or financial trouble? Quash this objection in its tracks! - How to sell against a much cheaper competitor and win nine times out of ten by allowing the prospect to sell himself! - Want the perfect way to close a sale without saying anything?

It's all there in the Golf Sales Bible, so you or your staff always give the PERFECT answer to each and every concern-and then continue on with your presentation to its logical conclusion, a sale! These are not theories; these are proven techniques used by the top professionals in the industry. Bring them to your club and watch memberships soar, outing and events book and your lesson book fill!

Dear Golf Instructor or would be golf instructor: Unless you are already making six figures you are underpaid! Grossly underpaid for your professional knowledge, experience and teaching talent!

You Could Study the Biographies of the 500 Most Successful Businessmen & Leaders of All Time or You Could Just Read This Book And Shortcut Your Journey to Business Success by Years, Even Decades!You've heard the advice to find a successful model and copy it. I have read a book week since I was 13 years old. My favorite type of books are biographies and I've read over a thousand. I have sought out the stories of the world's most successful people in over two hundred different fields: Business leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians, generals, rock stars, CEO's, writers and scientists..There are reasons for success and failure that occur in these biographies so often that they are more than just coincidences, they are more like laws. Big business, small business, new business, old business; it doesn't matter; the laws don't change, only the details do. I've combined the proven insights from successful people with my own experience in building two multi-million-dollar businesses from scratch. I've worked with over 3,000 clients in 26 countries and networked with a who's who of industry.Some of the laws I present you will already know well. Some you will recognize. Many may surprise you. The more of these laws you adopt into your business - and life -- the better. The years of insight, research and experience involved in compiling these laws will shortcut your journey to success by years, even decades. Best of all you can apply these laws to your personal life, business or career with equal success since they are universal in nature.

The business of golf has changed dramatically.- Waiting lists have vanished- Memberships in Europe and the USA are in sharp decline - The number of new courses opening pales in comparison to the number of courses closing- Participation, depending on who you believe, is down 10-20% in less than a decade.- Online booking engines have changed the game - Discounting has significantly lowered the price of the average round - Meanwhile while the cost of running a course has increased just as dramatically- The customer too, especially the millennial, is looking for something different than the 1980's version of a club "experience" most clubs are hanging onto for grim deIf you've read my previous books and think you know it all, think again.

It's Mid-October... I have already spent over five months this year in hotels, and I have another month to go. In the last few years, those hotel and resort stays have included properties in United States, Canada, Scotland, England, France, Wales, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Singapore, Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Italy, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Morocco, South Africa, Panama, and Dubai. While I often get to enjoy these as a VIP guest as a consultant or in my role as publisher of World's Best Golf Destinations, the vast majority are as an unheralded paying guest.Add this vast first-hand travel experience to the over twenty years my company Legendary Marketing has been a world leader in golf, resort, and destination marketing, and I could easily claim to have more experience than all but a handful on the planet. That's before I mention that we managed several properties ranging from a thirty-eight-room hotel to a 168-room resort!While I pick up new and innovative hotel marketing ideas all over the world, the vast majority of hotel marketing that I see from the individual entrepreneur with a handful of rooms to the multinational chains and mega resorts is poor and ineffective. They get caught up in style over substance, branding rather than results and mediocre multichannel marketing without actually acing a single one!A simple change in marketing strategy can have a major impact on your income. In recent years we have produced million-dollar turnarounds at two major resorts we worked with, based on marketing strategy alone. We have saved several family-owned resorts from certain death and helped countless small independent hotels all over the world by showing them simple ways to increase their reach on a tiny budget.It's exciting stuff so open up and let's get started...
