40 Years with a Whistle - 40 years of coaching tips woven into a touching memoir of a coach's life Dan John has been performing as an athlete for six decades. His coaches - the mentors he describes in this audiobook - steered him on the narrow path toward success in both sports and life. These coaches emphasized performance, yes...but they all also insisted on the balance of health, fitness, and longevity. From Dan's introduction to 40 Years with a Whistle: I've learned a lot over those decades and would like to share these lessons with you. I didn't want a book filled with "Xs" and "Os" or sets and reps. I wanted to share the lessons that apply to life and living. I begin with what are clearly my 10 best lessons of coaching. Each of these works well for the teacher, student, parent, and neighbor too. Following the advice of the 10th lesson, I explore the stories of the people who shaped my career and the gems of advice they shared with me. I finish with my vision of coaching - basically looking at training from the big picture and the toolkit to allow one to succeed. The lessons are simple. The application is difficult. The rewards are worth everything. The lessons learned on the fields and in the gyms will lead to a successful life. Hop on board. "As I listen through this audio book, over and over I found myself mentally saying, 'Yup' and 'Absolutely'. If you're a coach, an athletic administrator or the parent of a school-age athlete, you need to listen this audio book. I know my coaching staff will be listening it." (Chris Long, athletic director, Juan Diego Catholic High School)

Tolkien!When Shadow, a powerless mage, chose exile to preserve family honor, he didn’t expect a mysterious call to defeat telepathic, camouflaging dragons or to uncover the secret behind magic's evolution.

When a high-tech assassin is captured by a lithe little teen and her thugs, Vaya Sage questions his memories and launches the messiest blood bath of his career. But will the reality he unravels be less believable than memories he never questioned?Although short, this novella packs a punch as it explores the inevitable challenges of a futuristic world where memory implants, memory erasures, and maybe even magic are a reality. Action packed with carefully researched world building, Assassin Hunter will leave your brain scrambling to vainly guess the ending while hanging on the edge of your seat. Fans of X-Files and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files are in for a treat as they meet Vaya Sage and the craftiest nemesis he's encountered so far. Blurring the lines between dark fantasy, science fiction, and crime thrillers, this novella is uniquely poised to become a favorite.What readers are saying: Very interesting and captivating. Highly recommend any book by this author!Andrea Alanisfull of coolness.Drew Briney threw a plethora of sci-fi things at the wall, and they all stuck. I mean that as a compliment. This one has memory implants, near-future tech, magic, and more good stuff, each of which could be the basis of their own novellas, but Briney combines them all into one. It's a feat of geeky excellence, and I can't wait to read more from him.Joe CroweVery captivating read that keeps you guessing about what is really happening. The blending of magic and advanced technology is unique. You are caught up wondering with the assassin what memories are real, what is mind-altering technology and what is psionic abilities and what is outright mental magic. The ending is disturbing. A lot is left unanswered, making you want to read more.Paul SabinI LOVED this story! It enthralled me from the first page to the ending. It’s short, but filled with an incredibly interesting storyline that makes the reader think. Some of the sci-fi gadgets and scenes seem like they could be real and the characters are really relatable and well thought out. Yet another story by Drew Briney that I couldn’t put down! Heather Lunog
