A major investor is on line one, CNN is on line two, and social media is exploding in anger. When you’re a ‘Leader Under Fire,’ the next few moments can be an incredible opportunity… or they can destroy your career.

In the past, companies prepared for crisis with expensive, static crisis communications plans. The pace was slower. You had time to process and plan a response with your senior team and lawyers. But those old-school plans don’t work anymore. Many companies these days have no plan whatsoever and are simply sitting ducks.

Today, managing a PR crisis is ALL about speed. With 24-hour news cycles and social media mobs, if you’re not controlling your message by lunchtime, you could be convicted in the court of public opinion before dinner. Speed kills careers.

‘Leaders Under Fire’ is for anyone who values their reputation, and understands how fragile it is today. Leaders who have spent decades building reputations have seen them destroyed in minutes. We’ll help you avoid those traps.

This executive-length book uses real-life examples to illustrate what works – and what doesn’t – in managing a crisis. We’ll also introduce you to two fictional CEO’s who handle their crisis in very different ways. You can follow their story throughout the book as they learn some lessons the hard way – so you don’t have to.

One detective’s pursuit of truth and justice

When a young woman’s body is found in an alley, Jack Mallory takes on the case as the on-call detective. But before he can make a start, he is suddenly reassigned by his boss, Terrance Singleton, to the cold case of Timothy Waters, who had served 20 years in prison for the murder of Elizabeth Mitchell, the daughter of the then mayor.

A review of his conviction has set him free and as a friend of the family, Singleton wants to make sure Mallory finds more evidence to put him back behind bars.

But the case is complex and before long Mallory discovers that there is a lot more to it than meets the eye; family tensions, a witness run out of town and the possibility the victim had a second boyfriend. It all points to a shoddy investigation and a blunder that sent an innocent man to prison.

When Mallory’s investigation reveals a link between the girl in the alley, Elizabeth, and another murder victim from seven years ago, he can’t help but wonder if they are connected.

With the motive unclear, and the perpetrator a mystery, Mallory must piece together the evidence that may solve three cases instead of one, overcome a miscarriage of justice and uncover a killer who may be closer than he thinks.

Some vampires are destined for greatness. He’s not one of them.

When truckstop diner cook and mediocre bowler Herb Knudsen becomes a vampire, his once simple life gets a bit more complicated.

Herb’s not even sure how it happened. He wasn’t bitten by a vampire, which means there’s no one around to help him learn the ropes. With no one to guide him, Herb fumbles into his newfound abilities, courting disaster with every step.

Despite learning each new lesson the hard way, being a vampire isn’t all bad. He’s stronger, a little sexier, and a heck of a lot better at bowling. Even Lois, the girl of his dreams, is starting to notice him. But he can’t drink beer, the bodies are piling up, and his best friend Dallas isn’t just getting suspicious – he’s getting jealous.

When Lois is caught in the middle of the two friends’ escalating rivalry, keeping his dark secret becomes the least of Herb’s concerns.

Booze, bowling, bake sales, bar fights, babes, blood and karaoke… Who would have thought that being undead would make life so exciting?

Then A Soldier is two stories and two histories that are intertwined. On one level, it is a realistic, understated, un-romanticized description of close combat in Vietnam, and a serious analysis of three firefights in which the author was engaged.

On the second level, it portrays the social, historical, and cultural pressures that led a Jewish boy from the Bronx of the early 1960s to become a career Army officer, and, when his country was at war, to seek out a combat assignment. It is the story of a young man setting out to prove that Jews could be good soldiers as he simultaneously embarks on an uncommon assimilation strategy to enter the WASP establishment.

Then A Soldier describes the growth of the author from a boy, to a student, to a ROTC cadet, to a peace-time soldier and finally as a junior officer in combat in Vietnam. It is the story of a young man testing himself and finding a new dimension of his makeup.

About the Author

Almost ten of those years were spent overseas, including two years in Vietnam with the 1st Infantry and 101st Airborne Divisions.

Surprisingly enough, my own partner in crime, Octo-Cat, actually wants to help this time, but he can barely understand our two prime suspects because of their strange Sphynx accents. And I thought speaking tabby was hard!

So, there you have it, even with two successful cases behind me, I really don’t know how I’m going to solve this one. Is it too late to go back and pick another career?

Here’s the set-up:

It all started with the bereavement flowers with my name on them.

Not the best way to wake up, right? I work in a flower shop. I know a funeral arrangement when I see one.

I know a killer when I see one, too. And one is standing in my hospital room right now, straight behind the man who saved my life.

I can’t tell anyone the truth, because that’s the fastest way to really die. So I do the next best thing. I “lose” my memory.

I fake my amnesia.

Pretending not to remember a brutal attempted murder has its perks. The killer is backing down, spending less time around me, loosening the noose.

The less I claim to recall, the more my rescuer, Duff, works to help me “remember.” I hate lying to him.

But he doesn’t understand that my memory is dangerous. To me. And to him.

Fooling everyone isn’t easy. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Except it’s starting to look like I’ve been fooling myself.

In more ways than one.

Now an Amazon #18 Bestseller!
“Sexy. Hot. Leigh leaves you wanting more!” – K. Bromberg, New York Times Bestseller of The Driven Series
Dangerous dimples and a sharp tongue. This devilish combination gives wealthy CEO and playboy Carter Blake the upper hand. In any situation he gets whatever he wants–whenever he wants it. His preferences, singular. And now his sights are set on her.
When smart and spirited Haven Carmichael encounters Mr. Blake for the first time, worlds collide as the small-town Maine girl finds herself rubbing elbows with Boston’s elite. Her every instinct tells her to run from that wild glint in his eye, but it isn’t long before she finds herself tangled in his life, and his million thread-count sheets.
But is Carter Blake really destined to be her happily-ever-after or will this arrogant gentleman be her biggest mistake yet?*This is a modernized version of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. All likeness to real characters is incidental. An Arrogant Gentleman was first published under the title Steel & Lace. All characters and storylines remain the same with the addition of minor characters and scenes.
