Cozy Mystery

Date Published: 09/24/2024

Publisher: Harbor Lane Books, LLC.

After a scandalous arrest in San Francisco, Carissa Carmichael has moved back to her small Southern California hometown to start over as she opens her Aromatherapy Apothecary shop and reflexology services. A tourist destination, Oak Creek Valley, seems the perfect place to put the past behind her, but it seems no one will let her forget. When she finds the man who threatened to drive her out of business murdered in her shop, Carissa becomes the primary suspect, especially when her fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. Despite her father’s position as Oak Creek Valley’s chief of police, most townspeople assume she’s guilty.

Refusing to run again, Carissa knows she must prove her innocence to save her shop and save her father’s career when the investigating detective turns his focus on her. With suspects acting as slippery as the essential oils she distills, it’s up to Carissa to apply pressure and sniff out the truth before it’s too late.

Includes essential oil and reflexology tips.

This inspiring illustrated collection of poems will take you on a journey to reconnect with the forgotten part of yourself and discover, in the process, that all the answers can be found within yourself. Each chapter, uniquely termed an “inner state of feeling” like Disillusionment, Leap of Faith, Love, Inner Hero, and more, is visually brought to life with beautiful images that resonate deeply with the themes explored in the poems. Every poem is followed by more in-depth reflections on the beauty of letting go, taking responsibility for your own growth, and connecting with the essence of who you truly are.

Inner Hero encourages you to interact with it by offering prompts to check in with yourself after each chapter. The way to read the book is to monitor how each poem, each message makes you feel and let something unexpected happen. These poems are about feeling between the lines and discovering something new but very natural to all of us as humans in the process.

Discover the power you were born with — it’s waiting within the pages of poetry.

Touching upon her personal journey, Alina Kina shares an intuitive way of reprogramming ourselves and changing the algorithms of our lives.

Nonfiction / Leadership

In the dynamic and demanding field of healthcare, effective leadership is paramount. “Lead Like A PRO, Inspire Like A LEADER: 6 Core Pillars For Healthcare Leaders” by Dr. Michael Rivera is not your typical leadership read; it is a practical guide rooted in real-world experience, specifically tailored for leaders in the healthcare industry. Rather than delving into abstract mindsets, Dr. Rivera offers tangible advice drawn from years of firsthand experience.

Structured around a framework of six essential pillars, this book outlines the core principles crucial for success in healthcare leadership. These pillars are not arbitrary; they have been carefully chosen because without them, achieving success in healthcare becomes an uphill battle.

One of the main challenges healthcare leaders face is the constant barrage of distractions and pressing issues. It’s easy to get caught up in firefighting mode, losing sight of the foundational aspects that ensure smooth operations on a day-to-day basis. Too often, leaders fixate on a few major issues while neglecting others, resulting in overall inefficiency.
