About The Book:

Have You Ever Had a Boss That…?

Succeeding in a Dysfunctional Workplace

Eric Charran, a veteran technology executive with over 25 years of leadership experience at some of the world’s largest organizations—including 18 years at Microsoft—has worked under every kind of boss imaginable. From transformational leaders to those who thrive in chaos, he has seen firsthand how leadership dynamics shape workplace culture, employee engagement, and career progression.

In Have You Ever Had a Boss That…?, Charran offers a compelling, research-backed guide for professionals at all career stages, from early-career employees to senior executives, providing actionable strategies to not just survive—but excel in dysfunctional workplaces.

Through real-world case studies, psychological insights, and practical frameworks, Charran introduces nine distinct boss archetypes, each representing a different form of unhelpful or toxic leadership. From The Firefighter, who creates emergencies just to put them out, to The Attack Sub, who operates in secrecy to undermine colleagues, these archetypes explain why so many professionals struggle with ineffective managers—and how to turn these challenges into career-building opportunities.

Workplace dysfunction can drain productivity, stall careers, and create daily stress, but professionals who understand leadership behaviors and adapt strategically can navigate even the most challenging environments. Drawing from his extensive experience leading high-impact teams, Charran reveals how to “manage up,” influence from any position, and take control of your career path—even when working for a difficult boss.

This book is an essential resource for anyone who has ever felt stuck in a frustrating workplace, struggled under poor leadership, or wondered how to turn dysfunction into success.

You may not be able to choose your boss, but you can choose how to thrive, grow, and take control of your success—no matter the workplace challenges you face.





This She Writes Press Memoir tour runs for two weeks from March 31st-April 4th & April 7th-11th , will

About The Book:

For fans of Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking or David Sheff’s Beautiful Boy, this debut memoir about a mother grieving her young-adult son’s death is a must-read for any parent who has lost a child or whose child struggles with addiction. 

When Sally learns that her twenty-one-year-old son Christopher died tragically in a boat accident, her greatest fear is realized. Christopher was often drawn to risk and struggled with addiction, and in this riveting memoir, Sally captures the wild ride of his jam-packed life and her deep love for him while also reflecting on her own childhood and family legacy of alcoholism. 

This book is for any parent raising a child from the edge of their seat, or for those suffering the trauma of losing a child. Sally shares insights about what it’s like to experience the emotional aftershocks of acute grief, and readers may see themselves in Sally’s bittersweet illusion of trying to keep Christopher safe; in how she is challenged to let go of her fear, guilt, and regret in order to forgive herself; and in the ways grief teaches her about the power of love. Reaching for Beautiful is a luminous story of how love triumphs over pain, love transcends fear, and love never dies. 






This Essential Mentor Press Carreer Guide tour runs for two weeks from April 14th-18th & 21st-25th, will have one stop a day on a Blog, Instagram, or TikTok and consist of reviews, pre made guest posts, interviews, excerpts, & spotlights. Priority will go to review stops.

About The Book:

The Coffee Code is the essential career guide for college seniors, grad students, and recent graduates--and it's now available to help you relieve the stress of beginning your career after college. In The Coffee Code, author Marc Reede has taken business tips from his own 30+ career as a "lecture agent to the stars" and built a template for Career Readiness that is future-proof. Combining advice from his iconic sports and business clients as well as Marc's own philosophies on Professional Development and Mentorship, college seniors and recent grads will learn actionable ways to set themselves apart and reduce the worry created by the competitive world of life after college. Key chapters include Creating Your Own Brand, Finding a Mentor, Building Your Network of Connections and Relationships, and Accepting Rejection and Failure.

Podcaster and TED Talk phenom Mel Robbins says this about The Coffee Code: "If you're in the market for a new job, The Coffee Code is your career playbook. It's jam-packed with real world wisdom I wish I'd had decades ago."

LinkedIn's Founding Chief People Officer Steve Cadigan says "The Coffee Code is a must-read for anyone who feels lost or paralyzed by the myriad of career challenges and decisions we all face today. Marc Reede is a world-class career maker, and he's created a phenomenal template to help you build your confidence and have a career that is future-proof."

Global Fashion CEO and Shark Tank star Daymond John says "My story is proof that you're not limited to what you can do personally if you know how to create, build, and maintain relationships. The Coffee Code is a solid investment in learning this essential life skill."

College seniors are raving about The Coffee Code as well. Megan M. is a senior at The University of Wisconsin at Madison: "With all the pressure of post-grad life, my roommates and I have been anxious about finding ways to navigate it. The Coffee Code has been my go-to guide for turning my worries into action steps. It's a must-read for any grad!"

Why call this book The Coffee Code? Marc Reede's firm belief that he shares with college seniors and grad students is the value of a Coffee Meeting versus a simple Interview. In a coffee meeting, you've identified (via LinkedIn or another source) a contact at a company of interest to you. That company may not have a job opening presently, but after that contact agrees to meet you for a 10 minute cup of coffee so that you can learn more about that person's career with some hopeful advice for yourself, they may realize that YOU are perfect for their team. Let's compare that to an interview, where you're stuck in a 5-minute box--and just outside that door behind you is the next interviewee just waiting for you to fail. Oh and don't forget: Since some of the coolest jobs NEVER even get posted, the need to be proactive and grab as many Coffee Meetings as you can is imperative.

Here's a sample Gem from The Coffee Code:

HOW'D YOU GET THAT JOB?

If you were to research 10 new hires at any large company, you'd likely hear 10 different stories of how they ended up getting that job. It's not all about those Job Fairs at your school, and you don't necessarily have to have been an intern there first. Some got there through connections at that company, some by coffee meetings, some went through the interview process, and some may have been a combination of everything. But trust me, they didn't all get on a bus and get dropped off at that company.

Just because your path may look different from those who've gone before you doesn't mean you won't get there.

About The Book:

Judy is a quiet young girl who tries to avoid her father's frequent outbursts. After a particularly abusive episode, her brother Josh reveals a secret: he's been communicating with their older brother, Danny, through a special rock outside their neighbor's home. Danny also sent Josh a map to a location in the woods outside their home, which he is gung-ho at finding. But the woods are supposed to be off-limits! What should Judy do?

Eager to see their brother again, Judy reluctantly agrees to follow Josh to the location, if only as an escape from their home. Upon leaving the next morning, their father chases after them. When they arrive at the location, Danny is nowhere to be found. Instead, they find a hole. To escape their father once and for all, they jump into the hole, only to realize it's actually a portal to Eden. Yes, that Eden!

Luckily, Josh and Judy run into a couple of elves named Robin and Joralf. Judy and Robin are excited to meet each other, but Josh has his doubts. Meanwhile, Joralf feels the children's sudden appearance will have dire effects throughout the land. Evil threatens to enter the land and cause an imbalance throughout the garden, which would lead to Eden's complete destruction. Joralf encourages the children to return home immediately, but Judy doesn't want to go home.

However, she doesn't want to be what kills all of Eden's inhabitants-mermaids, jackalopes, kalavinkas, Nephilim, and so much more-either. There's a problem, though: Judy accidentally broke the crystal that operates the portal! There's only one other option; the group must find the Archangel Uriel before Eden collapses. It's going to take a lot of determination and resolve to fight through roaring rivers, major lightning storms, deception, killer birds, and mutinies to get there.

Can Josh and Judy find Uriel before the building natural disasters tear Eden apart? Follow Judy through the portal and find out!

About The Book:

“Written with the vividness of a poet and the reflexivity of an auto-ethnographer . . . a classic story about displacement, resilience, and triumph, Property of the Revolution offers fresh perspectives and a deeper understanding of the intersectional meanings of home, country, and family.”—Richard Blanco, 2013 Presidential Inaugural Poet, author of The Prince of Los Cocuyos: A Miami Childhood.

In this sweeping, historical, yet intimate memoir, the author details her family’s transformation from pro-Castro revolutionaries in a scrappy Havana barrio to refugees in a New Hampshire mill town—a timeless and timely tale of loss and reinvention.

Ana Hebra Flaster was six years old when her working-class family was kicked out of their Havana barrio for opposing communism. Once devoted revolutionaries themselves but disillusioned by the Castro government’s repressive tactics, they fled to the US. The permanent losses they suffered—of home, country, and loved ones, all within forty-eight hours—haunted her multigenerational family as they reclaimed their lives and freedom in 1967 New Hampshire. There, they fed each other stories of their scrappy barrio—some of which Hebra Flaster has shared on All Things Considered—to resurrect their lost world and fortify themselves for a daunting task: building a new life in a foreign land.

Weaving pivotal events in Cuba–US history with her viejos’—elders’—stories of surviving political upheaval, impossible choices, and “refugeedom,” Property of the Revolution celebrates the indomitable spirit and wisdom of the women warriors who led the family out of Cuba, shaped its rebirth as Cuban Americans, and helped Ana grow up hopeful, future-facing—American. But what happens when deeply buried childhood memories resurface, demanding an adult’s reckoning?

Here’s how the fiercest love, the most stubborn will, and the power of family put nine new Americans back on their feet.

About The Book:

An inspiring story of love, loss and recovery

“A beautifully devastating memoir… a remarkable odyssey of learning to ‘live fully in the shadow of death.’” — Publishers Weekly BookLife (Editor’s Pick)

In the spirit of Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking and Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air comes Carrying the Tiger, a life affirming memoir about the full circle of life and death.

When Tony Stewart’s wife, Lynn, receives a sudden and devastating diagnosis, they scramble to find effective treatment, navigate life threatening setbacks, learn to live fully in the shadow of death, and share the intimate grace of her departure from this world. Then Tony slowly climbs out of shattering grief and, surprisingly, eases toward new love.

There is uncertainty, fear, and sorrow, but also tenderness and joy, along with a renewed perspective on what it means to live and love with one’s whole heart.

“Captures emotions and experiences that will be familiar to anyone who’s stood by a loved one facing a cancer diagnosis... this is a work that will strengthen all who read it.” — Khalid Dar, MD, Oncologist, Mount Sinai Morningside

“A beautiful and very human love story which breathes an extraordinary generosity of spirit.” — David Newman, author of Talking with Doctors
