How Did I Get Here?: Finding Your Way to Renewed Hope and Happiness When Life and Love Take Unexpected Turns by Barbara DeAngelis
Woman of a Thousand Secrets by Barbara Wood
 In the latest epic from Wood (Daughter of the Sun), Tonina, a young Mayan-era woman born on tiny Pearl Island (off Cuba), is tall and light skinned, while her people are smaller of stature and dark. When her differences become too much for her fellows to bear, they send her away to the mainland to find her true people. Her quest leads her to the heart of the Mayan empire and to a barbarian ballplayer named Kaan, who desperately wants to be Mayan. When Kaan's wife dies and he goes on a quest to cleanse her soul, he's unwillingly thrown together with Tonina, and the two begin to attract fellow questers as they make their way through Mayapan. Meanwhile, Kaan is being pursued by Mayan prince Balam, who blames Kaan for everything that has gone wrong in his life. As Tonina and Kaan pick up more followers, a new culture begins to emerge. Wood crafts a complex and compelling pre-Columbian world. --Publishers Weekly

The Impulse Factor by Nick Tasler
 Paperback being released December 1st
Corporate psychologist Tasler draws on years of research and the latest findings in genetics, neurology and management theory to explore the benefits and dangerous consequences of human impulsiveness. At the heart of the author's argument is his pioneering "Impulse Factor Test," an online assessment that classifies people as "risk managers" or "potential seekers." This intriguing and highly readable analysis demonstrates how both groups can enhance their decision making and is enlivened by dramatic stories of innovators from St. Francis to Bill Gates and scientific reports on impulsiveness in different species and in hyperactive children. Tasler's pragmatic advice on leveraging the talents of both the brash and the bashful make this rewarding reading for anyone in the business world. --Publishers Weekly Read more at Amazon.com

The Red Queen's Daughter by Jacqueline Kolosov
 In some ways this is really an anti-romance. Mary, the daughter of Henry the VIII's last queen, Katherine Parr, has these words imprinted on her heart: Romantic love confounds and blinds a woman of wit and reason. Parr's life was complicated because of love, so when Mary is taken under the wing of a white witch, she happily devotes herself to learning about potions, the power of jewels, and England's history. When she is called to court by Queen Elizabeth, romance comes in the form of dangerous Lord Seymour, who may mean her downfall and possibly the queen's. Kolosov's first novel is a lovely, elegantly written entwining of history, fantasy, and a touch of mystery....As glittering as the jewels Mary studies. - Booklist
