Book Description
Part graphic novel, part manifesto and all painfully true, Attack of the Three-Headed Hydras is your guide to understanding what has gone so terribly wrong with this country and how to make it work again for everyone. Design and illustrations by Dominic Cappello, New York Times bestselling author and featured guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show. With decades of experience working in and for the public and private sectors, they know why systems that should protect all of us instead fail us, and the process of continuous quality improvement to fix them using data, technology, collaboration and transparency. But what's it all about? Frankly, they're everywhere. They control almost everything, but they have weaknesses. With this book we can defeat them... Just in time! Imagine the future and a global pandemic that turns into a surreal apocalypse as the economy collapses and the world is revealed to be run by overlords who are giant three-headed hydras in business suits. Think "Contagion" meets "The Walking Dead" with "Avengers" and a dash of "I, Robot" with giant mutant lizards. When you read "Attack of the Three-Headed Hydras," what you hold in your hands could be an outline for a new Netflix series on post-pandemic America, but instead it's a plan out of this train wreck we are living through -- a perfect storm of colliding (and mostly man-made) crises: a tardy, uncoordinated national response to a pandemic hits an economic disruption and reaches the breaking point with centuries old disparities and social injustices thrown in.

Book Description
"With research showing child maltreatment is substantiated for one in eight children in the US, it's clear Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), a broader category of experiences than just maltreatment, are at an epidemic scale in our society ... The authors' main thesis, quite simply, is that protecting all our children is entirely possible, but only when we know the scope of the challenges families face. The book provides a detailed, data-driven analysis of the scope of the problem and how to strengthen systems designed to protect our children"--

Book Description
Ending the epidemic of childhood trauma starts with you and the radically simple lessons of 100% Community. For many children everyday life is an unacceptably grim reality full of adverse childhood experiences, hopelessness and trauma. They face hostility and chaos in the world in general and in their own homes in particular. We also know that childhood trauma does not end in childhood, diminishing our lives as adults. Trauma is costly, linked to low achievement in school and on campus, lack of job readiness, poor work performance, substance misuse and emotional health challenges impacting one's capacity to have healthy relationships and be an effective parent.We know that we should fix this dire situation--and we know how. By harnessing data, research and technology, the public and private sectors can work together to ensure that ten vital services are accessible to 100% of families in every community. These empowering services, five for surviving and five for thriving, can create trauma-free families, schools and workforces. The authors provide a tested model for ending childhood trauma and social adversity with a step-by-step guide to creating a seamless local system of health, safety, education and economic development. Insights from decades of real-world experience provide context and expertise, and a workbook section lays out the process for innovating in action teams. Guided by 100% Community, all cities and counties can finally address the root causes of trauma to make every child the highest priority of each mayor and city councilor, county commissioner, school board member and state lawmaker. The groundbreaking 100% Community initiative is leading a national movement to ensure safe and successful childhoods.We hope you enjoy the Advance Review Copy of 100% Community. We are asking the nation's lawmakers, stakeholders, and change agents to read, review, and share their insights. The feedback we receive from readers will inform our next edition.

Book Description
Psykoria is on the brink of civil war. King Breetor sails out to eliminate the source of the unrest, but his ship is caught in a great storm. He is swept to an unknown land filled with legendary beasts. If he can’t find a way off this island, what will become of his homeland and his beloved Queen Aurandria? There is unrest among the nobility in Psykoria. Determined to end it, King Breetor sails out to eliminate the noble causing the most trouble. However, a ferocious storm drags him into uncharted seas. Stranded on an island filled with beasts of legend, Breetor must find a way home not just to escape this dangerous place, but return to his beloved. He fears for her safety, knowing that without its king, Psykoria would be in chaos. His ship has been destroyed. After the rest of his crew fall to the island’s predators, his only way home might be to find the land’s most dangerous beasts: the dragons. But it was a dragon which destroyed his vessel and his shipmates. If they don’t want outsiders coming to their land, would they help Breetor find a way home, or kill him like they did his crew? The Land of the Beasts is a brilliantly thought out and set up tale which any fans of dragons and creatures of legends will love. Get The Land of the Beasts now and explore the legendary island yourself. Interview with author Q: Tell us about the type of stories you write? A: I write YA epic fantasy or YA high fantasy novels and comics set in my Blade or Flame world. The world I’ve created is filled with magical creatures, a dragon rider, magic weaponry, and all sorts of things expected in a YA epic fantasy, all in a single young adult medieval world. The stories are often filled with dynamic action, ranging from sword combat, magic battles, and epic duels between magical creatures often written in more depth than a typical YA fantasy dragon story. However, I always try to ensure that each character has a good reason to be motivated with whatever they’re fighting for. Q: The Land of the Beasts contains a wide variety of magical creatures. Where did you get ideas for such a setting? At the core of the story, or most YA high fantasy and YA epic fantasy stories involving magical creatures for that matter, is the dragon. I always liked the idea of dragons coming from a land devoid of mass human population, only to be seen sparsely. As for the other magical creatures, such as griffins, hydras and manticores, I felt other creatures needed to dwell on this land, and realised such a place would make a great setting for a fable reminiscent of the tales of old. Q: Your Blade or Flame world is has been credited for including (in meaningful ways), almost every creature of legend in existence in some way or form. Why include so many magical creatures in a single YA high fantasy world? Don’t such fables and legends already come from a single world; ours? What if all legends and fables told in our history were true? What if every dragon rider, and all other magical creatures did exist? Wouldn’t that make our world similar to the one I’ve created? What better setting could there be for a youth fantasy or YA high fantasy? Q: Lastly, how does The Land of the Beasts differ from your YA epic fantasy tales? The Land of the Beasts is written to better resemble the type of fable you’d expect to hear in an old tavern or similar setting. It lacks the heavy character development seen in Champion’s Rising, or the ideological theme present in The Dragons’ Will. However, it features far more exploration, and better describes the magical creatures that exist in the youth fantasy world I’ve created, and adds a whole depth of background behind the dragons glimpsed in the aforementioned works. Perhaps more-so than the others, this reads like a fable of legend telling the journey of how a king became a legend.
