Imagine if there were ways, in a world of impatience and INFObesity, to quickly intrigue busy, distracted people and earn their interest, trust and buy-in. Imagine if there was a process for pleasantly surprising decision-makers and convincing them you're the right person for the job, position, project or contract. You don’t have to imagine it, Sam Horn has created it. Sam’s innovative techniques have helped her clients close deals and raise millions of dollars, and will be your “secret sauce” to getting funded, hired, elected, promoted or referred. “These accessible techniques transcend generations and read like a modern-day version of How to Win Friends and Influence People.” —Miki Agrawal, one of Forbes’s “Top 20 Millennials on a Mission” and founder of THINX “Sam Horn’s smart and snappy book will teach you how to get people’s attention—and keep it.” —Daniel H.

Apple Computer was once a shining example of the American success story. Having launched the personal computer revolution in 1977 with the first all-purpose desktop PC, Apple became the darling of the national business press and Wall Street. Yet by 1995, the company's change-the-world idealism had all but disappeared in a bitter internal struggle between warring camps. Raging internal mistakes, petty infighting, and gross mismanagement became Apple's hallmark, and today the company clings to a mere 3.7 percent share of the market it helped to create. Apple is the spellbinding account of what really went on behind closed doors, revealing the forces that dismantled this once great icon of American business.

Non-fiction with more Intrigue than the DaVinci code? If you still have a few questions left on some common subjects like: - Why am I here? - What happens when I die? - How are things, Really ? you likely will find parts of this book to be extremely intriguing. The author is in a search to find reasonable answers (as in "No B.S." and "No baloney") to these questions, and provides information about 13 extremely unusual but credible contemporary individuals, all alive within the last 70 years. These individuals, through their mind-stretching talents, abilities, work, and life experiences, provide stunning examples of the possibilities for each of us. Can you name: - The "Sleeping Prophet"? - The sculptor/ice-skater whose inner visions are directly responsible for the beginning of the Atomic Age? - The individual who worked with the CIA to produce "out-of-body" espionage? - The woman who died three times in 1977 and now is a well-known expert on Near-Death experiences and the wisdom they can produce? - The physicist who now explores mind-stretching events at the outer edges between Science and beyond-science? - The multiple-life-continuous-memory individual who the Taos Indians in the U.S. knew as a Kachina or "spirit being", who now offers fascinating seminars around the world on 'how are things, really?' Their common thread is their connection, evidenced through their personal life experiences, to the greater unseen universe beyond our every-day senses. These individuals vary greatly in the gifts, talents, information, and insights they exhibit and offer. Since "proofs" of the information offered by these individuals are frequently not available, the author can only offer the Intrigue of the Possible which he believes they represent. If you are ready to start a personal inquiry, this book offers many options. I wish you success in your search.

I have published two novels and an autobiography: Vengeance, Electra, and The Life and Times of Albert Capo.
