Unleash Your Leader

by Emmanuel Gobillot, Katherine Thomas

"An easy read which presents some essential home truths about leadership." Jo Owen

Stop thinking you should be an executive. Start leading like one! There are many books on leadership, but the vast majority already assume the reader is in a leading role. But how do you use and enhance your business skillset to reach the leadership position you want?

Bestselling business author and guru Emmanuel Gobillot and leading executive and entrepreneur Katherine Thomas, reveal in simple steps the secret to becoming a leader, showing you how to do the things executives do, speak the way executives speak and behave the way executives behave.

The only question on completing the book will be not why you should be a leader in your organisation, but why you are not one already!

Time’s Tide

Fiction

Time’s Tide

by Adrian Harvey

Adrian Harvey is back with yet another exquisitely written book, his most personal yet.

‘On a morning like this, it was hard to recall the dark, deep days of winter, the ice and wind and hunger; the months when inaction and confinement, the empty waiting between scant meals, had gnawed through the soul as much as the stomach.’

A father and son struggle to overcome the distance between them. Each is drawn irresistibly to an unforgiving landscape, one that has been the scene of tragedy and loss.

The son’s return to the northern shore he abandoned as a young man promises the chance to heal the rift. But is it too late? Arni left his remote corner of Iceland as soon as he could, seeking opportunities beyond winter and fishing. Married to an English woman, he builds a life as a successful scientist but can never quite escape the pull of the West Fjords and bleak landscape of his birth, nor shake the guilt he feels towards his distant father. When Eirikur goes missing, he sets off to find him on a windswept spit of land lost in an angry ocean.

Time’s Tide is a compelling and beautifully wrriten story of loss, belonging and the silence between fathers and sons.

Eat Less

by Jeremy and Georgina Jackson-Sytner

If you're overweight or just eat too much, you'll want to devour this book.

Eat Less is NOT a diet book. It doesn’t read like a diet book or look like a diet book. Eat Less is an anti-obesity manifesto.

Eat Less is stuffed with bite-sized nuggets of information on the benefits of eating less, advice on what to eat less of, and much more.

Informative and motivational, the underlying message is very serious, but the manner in which it delivers those messages is never preachy and easily digestible. Eat Less offers practical advice on the life-changing benefits that simply eating less food can bring. Eat Less really works.

The authors are living proof that the habit-changing lifestyle they set out could help millions of people easily get to a healthy weight and maintain it for life.

Eat Less published January 10 2019.

Crime & Thrillers

A Letter From Sarah

by Dan Proops

"Dan Proops' novel is a psychological white knuckle ride through the hopes and despairs of a man wrestling with truths, mirages, lies and visions." John Hind (Observer)

Adam’s sister, Sarah, has been missing for seven years, but he hasn’t given up hope of finding her. He is a sculptor and lives with his bedridden father who is a bully and a curmudgeon. One morning, as the anniversary of Sarah’s disappearance nears, Adam receives a letter from her and she is apparently alive and well, living in New York. Adam travels to Brooklyn to search for Sarah as he’s desperate to see her, but she seems determined to avoid him. Sarah’s letters arrive weekly, but she continues to remain elusive. Adam is perplexed by Sarah’s requests for secrecy, as is his father and his girlfriend, Cassandra. He is determined to find her, whatever the cost to his wellbeing, health and sanity….

The book is already receiving some amazing reviews!

The Very Idea – Unlocking the power of idea economics

by David Wethey

Unlocking the power of idea economics

Look at any successful venture, business or otherwise, and at some point there’ll be someone at its heart who had ‘a great idea!’ But how do you truly realise the value of your ideas? Ideas may be good or bad, big or little, powerful or weak. But what really matters is how valuable they are. The commercial overrides the subjective. Or to put it another way, the value is more important than the value judgement – so learn how to make your ideas worth more!

David’s previous book – Mote: The Super Meeting – was recognised by the CMI as one of the management books of the year in 2016 and was shortlisted for the commuter read category in the annual CMI awards.
