  How To Remain Humble: When...

  You are holding a practical guide to humility written for people who prefer their modesty to be effective, repeatable, and difficult to dispute in meetings. 
  In How to Remain Humble, Benjamin Edwards lays out a step by step system for appearing grounded while quietly becoming unavoidable. You will learn how to speak less and be quoted more, how to “share” credit in a way that returns with interest, how to apologize with the precision of a locksmith, and how to ask questions that feel supportive right up until the room changes direction. 
  This is not a book about shrinking yourself. That would be irresponsible. This is about making other people feel strangely safe while you keep winning, then acting pleasantly surprised when they thank you for it. By the end, you will not merely seem humble. You will be the kind of humble that gets invited back, deferred to, and described as “shockingly down to earth” by people who cannot quite explain what just happened. 
  Read it quickly. Apply it casually. Deny everything naturally.

  At twenty-six, Dom Contreras has already spent a decade jobbing through the minor leagues of professional wrestling as Hack Barlow, a three-hundred-pound axe-swinging lumberjack. As his body breaks down and his star power fades, he must invent a new gimmick before he loses the only job he's ever known. Meanwhile, Dom's seventeen-year-old sister Pilar is eager to make her own pro wrestling debut. Dom is determined to keep Pilar under his wing, away from the predators of a business infamous for eating its young. At the same time, he has a vision for her meteoric rise to the top—all the way to stardom (and a big payday) in the WWE. The siblings are close, spending much of their time in Dom's ancient Honda Civic en route to shows across the south, but as Dom craves privacy and Pilar reckons with her brother's conflicting roles of roommate, father figure, manager, and coach, their relationship begins to fray. 
   
   
   
  After Dom loses his temper in a match and Pilar injures herself preparing for her big tryout, Bonnie Blue, the eccentric owner of MCCW, spots an opportunity. She is poised to unveil her life's handiwork: an underground, guerrilla-style pro wrestling network with bouts climaxing in real, premeditated injury. To save his career—and his sister's hopes of breaking out—Dom must become Bonnie's new star and take on the one persona he swore he'd never embrace.

  Carla Karolac is doing just fine. Having escaped the clutches of her controlling mother and founded a successful writing retreat in which participants are confined to windowless cells until they hit their daily word count, she lives a comfortable, if solitary, existence. If only her therapist, Toonie, would stop going on about Carla's nonexistent love life and start addressing her writer’s block, she might be able to make some progress. But then Carla finds Toonie murdered, and suddenly her unfinished memoir is the least of her concerns. Without quite knowing why, she dials an old phone number. Amy Gallup, retired after decades as a writing instructor, is surprised to hear from her former student Carla out of the blue, three years since they last spoke. She’s even more shocked when she finds out the reason for Carla's call. Suddenly, she finds herself swept up in a murder investigation that soon brings her whole old writing group back together. But they’ll need all the help they can get, as one murder leads to another and suspicions of a serial killer mount across San Diego. Full of Jincy Willett’s trademark dark humor, an unforgettable cast of characters, and two of the most endearingly imperfect protagonists who have ever attempted to solve a murder, Amy Among the Serial Killers shows us what can be gained when we begin to break down our own walls and let others inside…as long as they aren’t murderers.
