Adult Fiction The Art of Floating by Kristin Bair O'Keeffe When her beloved husband, Jackson, disappeared without a trace, popular novelist Sia Dane stopped writing, closed down her house, stuffed her heart into a cage and started floating. It wasn't the normal response to heartache, but Sia rarely did things the normal way. Exactly one year, one month and six days after Jackson's disappearance, Sia discovers a mysterious man on the beach. He's mute, unresponsive and looks as if he has just walked out of the sea. It's the sort of situation Jackson would have solved with a simple call to the police. But Jackson is gone. As unreal as he seems, Sia is determined to help this man. Perhaps she can return him to his place in the world to whoever lost him and loves him. Perhaps she can answer their questions the way no one could answer hers. But as her friends and family help her winnow her way to the truth, Sia comes to realize that the unfathomable leap between sorrow and healing begins with a single step. Non-Fiction Duct Tape Selling: Think Like a Marketer - Sell Like a Superstar by John Jantsch Many of the areas with which salespeople struggle these days have long been the domain of marketers, according to bestselling author John Jantsch. The traditional business model dictates that marketers own the message while sellers own the relationships. But now, Jantsch flips the usual sales approach on its head. It's no longer enough to view a salesperson's job as closing. Today's superstars must attract, teach, convert, serve and measure while developing a personal brand that stands for trust and expertise. In Duct Tape Selling, the author shows how to tackle a changing sales environment, whether you're an individual or charged with leading a sales team.
