Product Description

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King’s heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination—a thousand page tour de force.

Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment—a real life moment—when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history.


Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.

Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life—a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.

A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.

Amazon.com Review

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges. Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more. This isn't a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book. The concepts are sometimes intricate, and you'll want to study this book, not skim it. When you finish, you'll probably have Post-it notes or hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you'll feel like you've taken a powerful seminar by Covey. --Joan Price

Product Description

The Challenge:
Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.

But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?

The Study:
For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?

The Standards:
Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.

The Comparisons:
The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good?

Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't.

The Findings:
The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include:

  • Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness.
  • The Hedgehog Concept: (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence.
  • A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology.
  • The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap.

“Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.”

Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

PRAISE:

-------------------

Wow! A very solid read addressing SEO topics and strategies. Mario has truly hit a home run here.

With a unique ability to simplify seemingly complex topics, Mario makes search engine optimization easy. He provides a thorough overview and strategy that both novice and expert search marketers can implement. "The Ultimate SEO Machine" covers on-page optimization and moves into both simple and advanced linking strategies.

For those of you who find SEO to be overly technical or even confusing, I highly recommend "The Ultimate SEO Machine".

Brian Anderson (CEO of Peachtree SEO)
Local Search Marketing Expert

-------------------

There are many so called experts that teach SEO theories, but truth be known and told, most DO NOT have a client base of real world customers. They simply pick up info here and there, re-write it, digest it and sell it as theirs.

Mario Brown has a real SEO agency, with real clients that are really satisfied.
How do I know he is the REAL DEAL?
Simply Google: SEO Miami
His website, [...] will be on the top 3 results (goes up and down depending on where you search from, your current location)

Can't fake real results!

In this book, he simply shares what works, no theories here.
A result driven book for result driven entrepreneurs.

Jerome Knyszewski
Local SEO Specialist (CEO of Metroranking)

------------------

I've followed Mario Brown for about a year. I'm in the Internet Marketing, SEO, Reputation Management business and am always looking for new approaches to help my clients stay at the top of the search engine rankings. Mario is always ahead of the game and, unlike many in his profession, he doesn't feel compelled to keep his techniques to himself. He shares his knowledge freely and unselfishly because he knows the pie is big enough for everyone who works hard.

The Ultimate SEO Machine is no different. It's Mario sharing what he knows without reservation. Sure, he'll make a buck or two from his sharing. But not nearly as much as he could if he kept it to a small circle of high-paying students in a mastermind/coaching group. This book is an act of generosity on Mario's part. It's a gift. Take advantage of it. If you're in this business, it's a reference that should be on your desk all the time. If you're a business owner just looking to raise your online profile and enhance your web presence - START HERE!

Thanks Mario.
David Perkins, author, Dear Austin - A Letter To My Son

------------------

I've known for quite some time that SEO was important for my own and others'websites but there was always something about SEO that for lack of a better term "scared me". Although I'm reminded many times a week about the importance of SEO by sellers of books, courses, webinars, etc. I ignored everything about SEO until I received an email from Mario telling me about his new book on SEO.

I've purchased other products from Mario so am well aware of his ability to make concepts, methods and processes simple to understand and apply. So based on my experience with Mario's products I purchased his THE ULTIMATE SEO MACHINE and am glad I did.

After reading the book I now understand how the following relate to SEO and how important they are to any website's performance.

- Spiders & Bots
- Algorithms
- Page Rank
- Keywords
- Coding & Content
- Link Building
- Social Media

Mario ...you did it again. THE ULTIMATE SEO MACHINE helped get me over my fears and insecurity about SEO and has enlightened and emboldened me. I now understand what I can do to make my own sites perform better and am confident that I could help others do the same.

THE ULTIMATE SEO MACHINE is great book and must buy!
5 stars from me.

Product Description

The partners at Finley & Figg—all two of them—often refer to themselves as “a boutique law firm.” Boutique, as in chic, selective, and prosperous. They are, of course, none of these things. What they are is a two-bit operation always in search of their big break, ambulance chasers who’ve been in the trenches much too long making way too little. Their specialties, so to speak, are quickie divorces and DUIs, with the occasional jackpot of an actual car wreck thrown in. After twenty plus years together, Oscar Finley and Wally Figg bicker like an old married couple but somehow continue to scratch out a half-decent living from their seedy bungalow offices in southwest Chicago.

And then change comes their way. More accurately, it stumbles in. David Zinc, a young but already burned-out attorney, walks away from his fast-track career at a fancy downtown firm, goes on a serious bender, and finds himself literally at the doorstep of our boutique firm. Once David sobers up and comes to grips with the fact that he’s suddenly unemployed, any job—even one with Finley & Figg—looks okay to him.

With their new associate on board, F&F is ready to tackle a really big case, a case that could make the partners rich without requiring them to actually practice much law. An extremely popular drug, Krayoxx, the number one cholesterol reducer for the dangerously overweight, produced by Varrick Labs, a giant pharmaceutical company with annual sales of $25 billion, has recently come under fire after several patients taking it have suffered heart attacks. Wally smells money.

A little online research confirms Wally’s suspicions—a huge plaintiffs’ firm in Florida is putting together a class action suit against Varrick. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of people who have had heart attacks while taking Krayoxx, convince them to become clients, join the class action, and ride along to fame and fortune. With any luck, they won’t even have to enter a courtroom!

It almost seems too good to be true.

And it is.

The Litigators
is a tremendously entertaining romp, filled with the kind of courtroom strategies, theatrics, and suspense that have made John Grisham America’s favorite storyteller.

Amazon.com Review

"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell's The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject.

For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.

Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name. --Ron Hogan

Product Description

Publishing a book today is easier than it has ever been before and the publishing industry is changing from the intimidating New York City publishers to virtually instant publishing available to anyone anywhere in the world.

Even if you want to publish an e-book yourself, it will have expenses if you want to do it right...

Every book needs editing. Good cover design is a must. Even though Amazon.com provides a great website for each book listed, you likely will still want a website and unless you're a web designer with your own hosting company, there will be a price to pay there. You'll likely take some classes or join a club or two to help you with networking and creative ideas for marketing. You might even pay for e-mail lists, twitter campaigns or other help with social media. Once you publish a book, companies come out of the woodwork to 'help' you with it - each one with a cost associated. Of course, please do your due diligence with every expense associated with your book's or website's success. While there are no guarantees, you'll find that some will be worth the gamble.

Very few books can go from start to finish without incurring expenses - if done 'right' and if done with the intent to make money. Very few people possess all the skills necessary to take a book from their head to their waiting public by themselves.

Then if you decide you need help with publishing itself, there are those expenses. If you need the book to be formatted by a graphic designer, then there are those expenses. Do you really know how to write sales copy or do you hire that out? All this is before you print your first book!

So, what if you want to publish and print the book, but you don't have the ability to pay for them? Does the book just sit there on your computer while you wait for your luck to change? Or do you find other ways to get your message out there?

The good news is, any message can be produced in many mediums, and resources exist for each one. Software tools exist for each one. Professionals exist for each one. These days, video is a viable medium on which to publish your message, especially if it is an information product. Audio books are viable products, although they are being directly challenged by the likes of Kindle because of their new audio capabilities. But again, video and audio producers cost money or if you're a do-it-yourselfer, the software costs money.

To create a quality product that people will want to buy, be able to find, and understand will cost money at some point. If you're not sitting with several hundreds to several thousand dollars in the bank ready to pay for all of this, then you're going to have to find a way to get the money for these tasks.

As a publisher of more than 250 books, working with hundreds of authors over the years, we've developed literally thousands of income streams beyond the sales of the individual books. This book is intended to help you see the potential in your book's ability to make money even before it is in its final form. This income will be able to offset many of these expenses and in some cases, completely support the book all the way through the development, printing and marketing processes.
