(A1) **Summary - You're operating your business in a time when something is happening that is so momentous it has never happened before. Jim Blasingame identifies it as an epochal marketplace shift that's causing the 10,000-year-old Age of the Seller to be replaced by the Age of the Customer.

Jim will reveal to you in plain language:

* How the two Ages currently, but temporarily, exist in parallel universes, and how much time you have left to join the emerging universe.

* How relevance is replacing competitiveness as the coin of the realm, and what you have to to do make this switch to Age of the Customer thinking.

* How your future will increasingly be decided at the Moment of Relevance, and what you have to do to be the chosen one at that moment.

* The new influencers who co-own your brand message - sometimes before you even know they exist - and how you can get them to be your partner.

* Why you must become a good storyteller.

* The good, bad, and ugly of social media.

* The killer app that wasn't any part of your past but will dominate your future.

Jim will tech you how the Age of the Customer is impacting love, trust, emotions, niches, globalization, intellectual property, selling, branding, and even technology. Plus he will reveal what is not going to change. 

In the Foreword, Steve Forbes says Jim has both the foresight of a prophet and the courage of a heretic. This book is a visionary message delivered with tough love and, as Steve says, Jim is the best at this. 

You'll keep this book handy for continual reference, because you won't find the perspectives Jim Blasingame delivers here anywhere else in one place. 

It's the Age of the Customer. Let Jim Blasingame help you Prepare for the Moment of Relevance.  #nonfiction #business #economics #hardcover #consumer #signed #autograph #inscribed #provenance #autographed

Insightful and poignantly funny, this look-over-your shoulder, laugh-out-loud collection of essays pulls the facade off family life, revealing the true and unvarnished journey of coming to grips with motherhood. Showing that not all mother's instincts kick in automatically, the narratives create camaraderie among fellow moms who fear they have been endowed with the maternal warmth of Leona Helmsley. Covering all the years between play groups and prom, this odyssey of motherhood illustrates that by the time moms actually have a handle on raising kids, they're sending them off to college. This delightful series of reflections is sure to warm a mother's heart. A portion of the sale of this book will be donated to The Children's Art Project at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

(A2) **Summary - Do you feel confident you're a leader with influence? You may be surprised to discover you're not as influential as you think you are.

Your team is only as strong as your influence, and many leaders today are mistaken about what it means to be influential. An outdated influence paradigm, along with technological devices and distractions, is making it increasingly challenging for leaders to reach those they need to influence in order to be successful. In fact, many leaders are unwillingly and unknowingly sabotaging themselves and their influence.

In her thought-provoking Influence Redefined, Stacey Hanke introduces her powerful Influence Model, a step-by-step method for improving communication and producing the ideal type of influence—one that moves people to action long after an interaction is over. She dispels the most common influence myths and instructs leaders on how to stop sabotaging themselves in order to leave a positive, lasting impression.

Using a results-based definition of influence for individuals and organizations, Hanke successfully shows leaders how they can develop influence as a skill through self-awareness, consistency, a positive reputation, adaptability, and impact.
With insights from dozens of executives and business leaders, as well as practical how-tos and action steps, Influence Redefined will help leaders multiply and expand their influence every day, Monday to Monday®.

Through Stacey Hanke, Inc., the author has provided keynotes, mentoring and training on communicating with influence to thousands of leaders across industries. She is the author of Yes You Can! and has appeared in the New York Times and SmartMoney. Hanke was recognized as one of the National Speakers Association's ''Top 6 Under 40.'' #nonfiction #business #economics #hardcover #lead #signed #autographed #autograph #lecture #clients

Signed

Lis Wiehl incorporates her own experience as a TV host and federal prosecutor in this riveting series. Erica Sparks has become a superstar overnight. Is it due to her hard work and talent, or is she at the center of a spiraling conspiracy?

Erica Sparks is a beautiful and ambitious reporter who has just landed her dream job at Global News Network in New York. And while it was hard to leave Jenny, her cherished eight-year-old daughter, in the custody of her ex-husband, Erica is determined to succeed in the cutthroat world of big-time broadcasting. She can only hope her troubled past won't come back to sabotage her dreams.

Although the wounds from her divorce are still fresh, Erica can't deny the chemistry between her and her new producer, the handsome and empathetic Greg Underwood. But a relationship is the last thing she wants right now.

On her very first assignment, Erica inadvertently witnesses--and films--a horrific tragedy, scooping all the other networks. Mere weeks later, another tragedy strikes--again, right in front of Erica and her cameras.

Her career skyrockets overnight, but Erica is troubled. Deeply. This can't just be coincidence. But what is it?

Erica will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. But she has to make sure disaster--and her troubled past--don't catch up with her first.

A Novel





Logan "Kash" Ryan has spent the last three and a half years working undercover in Tampa Bay, Florida. When a case sends Kash and his partner to Austin, Texas to follow the trail of a serial killer, they must solely focus on finding the guy before he can find another victim. The last thing Kash needs is the distraction of his beautiful new neighbor, but there's something about her guarded nature and feisty attitude that makes it impossible to stay away from her.



Rachel Masters has tried to shield herself from getting hurt again. But when her new neighbor almost takes off her door with his motorcycle, everything changes. He's arrogant, gorgeous, tattooed and pierced. Everything she knows she should stay away from. Despite the warnings her initial impression has raised, she quickly falls for him and the way he breaks down her walls. But he's hiding something, and after everything that has happened in Rachel's life lately, a secretive guy is the last thing she needs.



From the moment Rachel and Kash meet, they stress the friendship-only rule and continue to push their feelings for each other aside. But as their friendship advances, lines start blurring, and soon their reasons for keeping the other at a distance are forgotten.



Will Kash be able to maintain focus on the investigation while keeping Rachel safe from his real life--or will it all fall apart right in front of him, and will she run when she finds out everything he has been hiding

Life moves on. Only people who have never lost anyone they loved with all their heart can blindly believe those words. What if I didn't want to move on? What if I wanted to wake up every morning with that familiar ache in my chest, knowing I'd never see her again? But, life can change in a moment. I knew that better than anyone ... So, when I couldn't get those mesmerizing green eyes out of my head, I decided to do something about it. Would one night with her be enough, or would my heart decide it was finally time to move on from the past?

Brynn Hartley

There are three constants in my life: my BFF Lindy, my rising career, and my daily horoscope.



So why couldn't the stars have told me a little more directly that I wasn't going to get the job I'd been chasing, that it was going to an outsider, and I'd wind up drowning my sorrows on my twenty-eighth birthday having an unexpected encounter with a devastatingly handsome stranger?



Things only get worse when I finally meet my new boss, who just so happens to be the man I spent my weekend with doing more than just blowing out birthday candles. Pierce Abrams makes it crystal clear that he'll stop at nothing to continue our new relationship-even as he thieves my dreams from under me.



My silver lining comes when my childhood best friend, Noah Chance, pops up out of the blue after nearly twenty years with a deal I can't pass up-along with a second chance at love.



Somewhere-torn between the pages of an unexpected romance with my new boss and a chance at the kind of love fairy tales are made of-is my heart. Is my destiny written in the stars like my horoscope said? Or will I crash and burn, consumed by the very love I never knew I was looking for?
