We start with the key things any start up needs, giving you insight into helpful things to consider as you start your business. Then we take you back – as far back in time as middle school. We then go through what kind of internships and educational choices you’ve made or are going to make. Next, we investigate how your choices shape your ability to deliver professional success, and how that impacts your ability to maintain what is important in your life. As we finish reviewing ourselves, we piece together how to integrate your success with how to develop and grow your new business.

Shortly after a devastating hurricane hits the Gulf Coast, Jeremy's father is reported missing. A few days later a package appears on the porch of the Miller Bungalow. In the package is a bottle that contains notes from Father to the members of the Miller family. The contents of the notes make it apparent that the boat Father is on is sinking. Jeremy discovers a coded message in his note. It provides a clue that sends him and his sister on a search for treasure, hidden somewhere on the Miller Estate. If they can find the treasure soon enough, it will provide enough money to save the Estate from foreclosure, which is less than a week away. Join Jeremy and Jennie as they, with the help of Mike and Brandon (read The Mystery of the Grinning Buddha), work desperately against time to find the treasure and thereby save their house and the rest of their grandfather's estate.

From the unforgiving mountains of Colorado, the first of Cyris’s misfits was forged. True Puritan, Christian values collide headlong into ancient laws of a vampire culture that Cyris never felt he belonged to. The strength to be different. The strength to question. The conviction to take responsibility and pay the consequences for change. A hundred year story is woven from a rainy night in modern Los Angeles, sharing the events that lead to Cyris stepping up and accepting the title of Lord of the Fallen. Cyris and Dominik set out into the unspoiled wilderness to reunite a semi-mad, unclaimed, vampire with his missing family. To prove to him what he now was, and show him his world was changed and lost against his will. What they found was the beast who created him. A feral consciousness claimed the untouched territory. He took whatever he desired, nothing of the man he once was left. The one thing that all vampires fear becoming. The one challenge looming over the fledgling lord.
