Unspoken Dreams - Book Review
"Carol Bennett writes a stunning mystery-thriller. Her chilling
entrance is one I have encountered only rarely in a book.
Here, we have a victim who looks like he had been
swarmed by bees in the middle of a storm, but the reader is
lead to believe that it was something much more ominous
and that it is about to get worse. There are many characters in the tale, but a group of
teenagers that are about to graduate from high school
(Mike, Jack, Jared, Jenny, Tracy, Dana, Alan) and Sheriff
Nate are the main characters. The lead character, Mike, is
more like a father figure for the group in that he concerns
himself with the needs of his friends and becomes a
compassionate leader to his community during an
emergency. His girlfriend Dana, as a sweet and supportive
character, gives him strength. Shy, Jenny who is blooming
into a beautiful girl has a crush on Mike's friend Jack, which
sends Alan into a jealous frenzy. Though James and Tracy
are dating, their buddy Jared holds a secret fondness for
Tracy. Carol did a wonderful job in portraying the characters in
Unspoken Dreams. I was so involved in the story that by the
time Mike finally broke down in grief for his friends' death, I
had tears running down my cheeks ? this was less than 2
dozen pages into the book! Mike's humorous relationship
with his parents had me laughing aloud. And I felt real pity
for Alan's situation. An excellent read for those who love a good thriller with a
solid rate of tension throughout the book." ISBN#: 1413767397

How Would You Move Mount Fuji? - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
For a number of reasons, today's hiring managers from Wall Street to the Silicon Valley are totally restructuring their approach to interviewing job prospects. Few will admit it has anything to do with the fact that our litigious society makes it very difficult to ask almost any personal question of today's job applicant. The majority of those interviewing today don't even bother checking references because they know anyone they call will provide little or no information on the employee in question for fear of legal retribution. Again, few will admit these facts for obvious reasons. However, for these and other motives including a hypercompetitive global marketplace, a hot new trend in hiring is emerging. "Puzzle interviews" using tough and tricky questions to gauge job candidates' intelligence, imagination, and problem-solving ability, are becoming the norm in many companies.

Hug Your Customers - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Don't panic. Jack Mitchell, the author of Hug Your Customers: The Proven Way to Personalize Sales and Achieve Astounding Results, isn't suggesting that you take his title literally. Hugging your customers, he says, has nothing to do with being touchy-feely around them and everything to do with offering them over-the-top service. His advice is hardly groundbreaking. For instance, what rookie employee has not heard the old adages such as "know your customer, think outside the box, have a 'no problem' attitude"? While we've all heard this obvious, age-old advice repeatedly, how many of us can honestly say we've seen it practiced with any level of success where we shop, eat, travel, etc.? That's the point of this book. Everyone knows what should be done to create repeat customers ... very few people do it!

The Hushed Willow - A review by Amanda Evans
The Hushed Willow by Lorna Joy Knox nee Ramsamugh is a collection of poetry that will stir your emotions as you embark on a rollercoaster ride through life. As the title suggests the poetry contained in The Hushed Willow is that of emotions and feelings that are kept silent, feelings of sadness, loss, betrayal and hurt. The author has an exceptional gift of portraying such vivid emotions in such few words and is a joy to read. The words of her poetry flow together so gracefully with images from nature jumping up to meet you as you read.
