Synopsis

This isn’t an ordinary business book, or an ordinary autobiography. It’s not merely a rollercoaster, either, but an entire theme park full of them: a traumatic childhood, two tragic accidents, multiple descents into darkness and slow climbs back into the light, reckoning with the disease of alcoholism, years working to exhaustion in the trenches, leaving one family to find another, a breakdown and redemption–and that’s just the first half of the story. Here, every stage of life becomes its own rollercoaster: love, marriage, pregnancy, motherhood, all while becoming a first-time founder, CEO, and Christian. Grothe’s dramatic life story merges with a twisting, turning chronicle on the highest highs and lowest lows of business–and of faith–and how all of the above are inextricably intertwined.

    Have you ever stopped to wonder how life has been for the people who have been on the frontline of fighting Covid-19 – their experiences, how they are treated, how they are able to cope with the extreme pressure, seeing death everywhere, and risking being infected all the time? 
    And have you wondered why nurses would be threatening to strike and others even strike in the middle of the pandemic to get a full glimpse of what has really been going on but has gone unreported? 
    If you’ve answered YES, keep reading...You Are About to Step into a Frontline Nurse’s World For A Moment, To Get A Glimpse Of Just How This Pandemic Has Been Brutal For The Frontline Nurses All Over The World! 
    The pandemic has been brutal for nurses and other frontline workers. With nurses always dealing with Covid-19 cases every single day, seeing patients in thousands develop moderate to severe symptoms and others dying of Covid-19 related complications, you can agree with me that nurses have really seen the pandemic from a completely different perspective compared to everyone else. 
    And this perspective hasn’t been one that anyone ‘outside’ could ever imagine. 
    From extremely long working hours, the scare of getting infected with Covid-19 to the trauma of seeing disease, sickness, and death everywhere to mistreatment by company representatives to being not welcomed by locals, to someone on the outside, the details in this book will literally make you wonder whether what’s in this book is really true. 
    Written by one of the many traveling nurses who has been to several states and seen it all, from New York to the Mexican border to Illinois and Texas, her account of her experiences in her line of duty will leave you with a new perspective about so many things about the pandemic.

    In the sequel to award-winning playwright Seamus O'Rourke's popular first memoir, Standing in Gaps, this innocent Leitrim lad finally flees the nest, briefly sampling life in New York, Dublin and London, before inevitably returning to his beloved, duller-than-dishwater home, to a life which now includes alcohol, Dr. Hook and some low-budget romance.
    But man does not live on romance alone and Seamus needs to get to the bottom of his general uselessness, spurred on as always by his ever-the-realist father, who prophesied his mediocrity from an early age. Seamus continues to underachieve whilst struggling to interpret his Auld Lad's advice and watered down compliments – 'You weren't as bad as I often saw ya', 'They must be badly stuck, if they asked you' and the classic 'What kind of an eejit are ya?' – in a memoir that captures the innocence and the absurdity of rural life in 1980s and 1990s Ireland.

    Two years since the rape and murder of Harold Brandon’s beloved wife, Shelly, he strikes his scythe of vengeance upon one man and his entire cartel. 
     
    “Hey gringo, are you lost?” 
     
     “No. Not lost. Looking for someone.” 
     
    “Who are you looking for?” 
     
    “I’m looking for a dead man.” 
     
    *** 
     
    Shelly was raped and murdered by the Sonora Cartel two years ago. And since then, Harold has been juggling his sorrow and rage amid a standing contract on his life set at one million dollars. 
     
    When a grieving former drug-lord-turned-minister-turned-contractor is also being hunted like prey, he adapts. 
     
    Harold was forced to hide in the shadows and isolate himself from friends and family. He was also driven to undergo plastic surgery twice. 
     
    Heartbroken, seething, unrecognizable, and with unlimited government resources at his disposal, Harold now has the upper hand and plots to find Enrique, the Sonora Cartel’s #2 man, with every intention of killing him — slowly and in true cartel fashion. 
     
    Just like how they killed his wife. 
     
    Will Harold succeed? 
     
    Find out for yourself in “Operation Durango Cartel: Harold Brandon’s War Against the Cartels”, the second installment to the bestselling “Code Name: The Fox” series by prolific author Dr. Hal Bradley, DD!
