About A Demon’s Quest The Beginning of the End

Across the land, peace has reigned for generations. But now, demons have found a way to breach the world and cloaked themselves as humans. They are deceitful, clever, and often manipulative as they position themselves within the Martial Orders of mankind to lie in wait like a ticking time bomb and conquer the world of humanity.

But another crucial journey is being undertaken. Wronged by a close friend, Gilex is on a road of revenge as he leads his devoted band of followers on a treacherous journey to find the fabled Circle of Demise. However, finding the circle will prove harder than expected and the rewards might not be what he was seeking.

Thus begins the enthralling Demon’s Quest epic, a spellbinding tale of adventure, magic, and myth . . .

Author Charles Carfagno Jr. has created a world akin to Dungeons and Dragons – meets Game of Thrones – meets Kung Fu Theater in a fanciful cosmos described with flair and unique penmanship for the most avid of fantasy fans.

About Chrysalis: A Memoir

While writing Chrysalis, my mind would, of course, return to the hospital room where I regained my life and freedom. As I strived to explain the experience, I noticed how it had changed me and set me on a better path to the rest of my life. This unusual experience, though difficult, improved how I react, and accept many good and not so wonderful things to come.

If I were to meet you and take your hand, if at that moment I could give this learning to you, how glad it would make me! I extend this hope to you in book form. My intent is to tell you to “never give up,” never to be so overcome that you stop. We all have moments. This gift I was given is to show you any pain is worth the promise of the life that awaits you tomorrow. It’s free, it’s within you…relax and accept. Move forward!

About A Desperate God: Discovering Father God Through Answered Prayers of a Nobody

The Dragon and the GOAT: The One That Wins…is the One You Feed by Rebecca Mountain

A war rages within us with the reptilian or “Dragon” part of our brain that thinks it’s keeping us “safe” locked in a constant battle with our desire to live a full and vibrant GOAT (Greatest of All Time) life. Most people fall prey to the louder and faster Dragon, punching the clock, settling for “good enough” and watching their dreams fade to grey. When the world seems heavy and the days seem long, the Dragon is winning. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

The tragedy of a bland life can be transformed by tending to your inner GOAT: that unique and incredible version of you that wants to write the story of your life, in your own words, with your own adventures. Your GOAT is like none other. It strives to live a happy, successful and free life, always in control, clear on its purpose and the meaningfulness of each day.

In “The Dragon and the GOAT” Rebecca will show you how to know if your Dragon is winning and whether your GOAT has been hidden away, just waiting for you to take notice and open the door to the life you truly want. Then, you’ll be guided through a series of strategies on how to shrink the Dragon, limiting its ability to hold you back, and scale up your GOAT-ness, taking small steps towards that magnificent future you really want, but for various reasons, haven’t stepped into – yet.

About The Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone

Did you know humans are bad at making decisions?

Not bad like murdering your neighbor bad, just plain old poor decisions. Decisions made too late, decisions made without enough information, decisions made after gathering too much information, decisions made in a vacuum, decisions made to protect what you already have. But what do you do when the old processes that were the foundation of your business no longer serve the purpose or are no longer benefitting the whole?

This problem has a name: The Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone!

The Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone equips business owners, business leaders, and the inquisitive minds in between with the tools to make their cultures, companies, and lives more successful. The tools within take little knowledge or experience to understand, but can have a huge impact on you, your team, and your organization.

In this book, you will learn:
– The three types of cones you will see in business.
– How each cone is formed and the signs of them.
– The negative effects of each cone on your business growth.
– Decision-Maker’s Lunchbox (Packing, Partitioning, Perfecting) – each P has two tools to help make better decisions and avoid SLICCs.

This uncomfortably familiar and often humorous book will help you finally fall asleep at night instead of racking your brain for a solution to your perpetual woes. Don’t you dare hit that “Back” button! Don’t doom your team to an agonizing existence of self-indulgence!
