In the late 1980’s the booming real estate market in Southern California reached the peak of that cycle and headed downward. The severity of the decline wiped out reserves of some well- managed mature companies that depended on the sale of and income from real estate to pay the investors, the majority of which were smaller pension plans.

An Investment In Time tracks what happened to one of these companies from the turnover of several million in assets to a court appointed receiver. Although the receiver is an attorney, he employs a legal firm of which he is a partner to handle the majority of the transactions. For the next six-and-a-half years the receiver collects over $2.5 million, the majority of which he pays to himself directly or to his law firm. While the president is charged with wrongdoing and criminal charges filed, the passive officers and directors are dragged into the ordeal. In addition to their own investments being wiped out, over $3 million in penalties are assessed.

The characters are fictional or composite as is the storyline. However, the legal happenings and receiver billing is information filed with the court. The plot is awesome, and the results are unthinkable. A story you won’t easily forget.

Here’s an edgy, funny book for the contemporary single woman who’s seen it all, done most of it and finds that laughter is almost better than Ibuprofen.

Includes: — Advice on what to do if you’ve been dumped — Incredible but true over-the-top dates — Facing the horrible truth that once the supposed love of your life dumps you, he may eventually move on to ruin someone else’s life-forever — You are woman-hear yourself roar — Real questions submitted by real people (these couldn’t be made up) to LoveLogic online (and answers, too)

This book belongs in your “get over him and get on with my life” kit, right alongside the chocolates, ice cream, cookies, tissues and mascara.

O’Neill, MA, CET II, Founder and Director, The Affluenza Project

In this engaging and invaluable “mentor in your pocket,” three dynamic and successful black female executives share their strategies to help all black women, at any level of their careers, play the power game—and win.

Rich with wisdom, this practical gem focuses on the building blocks of true leadership—self-confidence, effective communication, collaboration, and courage—while dealing specifically with stereotypes (avoid the Mammy Trap, and don’t become the Angry Black Woman) and the perils of self-victimization (don’t assume that every challenge occurs because you are black or female).

    Some leaders are born, but most leaders are made—and The Little Black Book of Success will show you how to make it to the top, one step at a time.

The definitive resource for women of all ages looking for expert advice on how to manage their finances for a secure future, Making Bread offers encouragement, inspiration, and most important, savvy guidance to women in every stage of their financial life. Because women, on average, live longer than men, and save half as much as men do, these realities create a unique set of requirements for financial security, whether for the single mother juggling work and family or the newly divorced woman facing retirement.

My initiation into the financial field began after receiving a family legacy and meeting a persuasive broker. Snowing me with his sales skills and treating me as his “special” client, Mr. Enthusiasm and Charm.

• sold me a potpourri of financial programs I didn’t understand or need,
• pushed his “couldn’t lose” tax shelter schemes,
• flattered me into unpaid temping for his new firm,
• continued losing my money, then
• cajoled me into earning a securities license to make up my personal investment losses.

Reading this book will bring you:

• Enjoyment: Balance between fun and profit–thread the serious business of money through a humorous memoir for a positive message.
• Motivation/education: For women, especially, to come away empowered to handle their own finances and have enough general information to get started. I hope readers will learn that dealing with money does not have to be a difficult, time consuming or unhappy task.
• Permission: Not to have to know everything whether about finances, job or career. Everyone makes mistakes–often big and costly ones. By sharing my experience in a completely new and difficult field, and candidly telling my story, women in the business world can absorb the message that if I can make it… any of them can, too.
