    Every line on a map tells a story — of power, of possibility, of people divided and connected in equal measure. 
    In Crossing Latitude, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis traces the invisible boundaries that carve the planet, journeying along parallels and meridians from the equator to the Arctic Circle. Through deserts, oceans, and city streets, he meets those who live where these unseen lines dictate climate, culture, and fate. 
    From fishermen on the Tropic of Capricorn to scientists at 60° North, Davis uncovers how geography shapes humanity’s rhythm — and how the act of crossing a line, literal or metaphorical, reveals who we truly are. 
    Thought-provoking, vivid, and deeply human, Crossing Latitude invites readers to see the world not as a series of borders, but as a living, breathing web of connection.

    Ever feel like your construction business is one mistake away from collapse? You’re not alone—and there’s a blueprint for building it right. 
    When a once-failed contractor takes a second shot at success, he quickly learns that working in the field was the easy part. The real challenge? Creating operating and financial systems that won’t crumble under pressure. 
    In Blueprints for Success, Timothy Wingate Jr. pulls back the curtain on the messy reality of construction entrepreneurship. Through raw, relatable storytelling, he reveals how disorganized finances, poor hiring decisions, and a compulsion to micromanage nearly buried a man’s dream beneath the rubble of his struggling construction business. 
    Everything changes when Timothy steps in to help confront the foundation-level cracks in the operation. 
    This is field-tested wisdom for contractors tired of watching profits vanish, dealing with constant turnover, and wondering why growth always feels out of reach. Inside, you’ll discover practical strategies for: 
    • Building the right team (and knowing when you can afford to bring them on) 
    • Creating financial systems that actually make sense for construction 
    • Implementing technology that connects your field to your office 
    • Scaling your operation without sacrificing quality—or your sanity 
    Whether you’re barely staying afloat or ready to build something that lasts, these blueprints offer the structure you’ve been missing.

    Do you dare to question what’s real, who’s in charge—and what they’re willing to sacrifice to stay there? 
    Think Fargo meets Fight Club, with a dash of Bad Monkey and a side of Dexter. This story delivers sharp commentary and strange bedfellows: sophisticated internationalists, drone pilots in bunny slippers, assassins on banana seat bikes, and network news anchors with God complexes. 
    Meet Leroy O’Malley of Apalachicola, Florida: a naive and hopeful dreamer. All he wanted was a shot at the good life—a steady job, maybe even a dental plan.  
    This is the story of a man who made the mistake of believing the lies we are all told.  
    Always down on his luck, a chance encounter with a foul-mouthed - though oddly charismatic - out-of-towner at a roadside oyster shack suddenly launches Leroy on the fast-track to the life he’s always wanted.  
    But as the stakes rise, he finds himself swept into a tangled mess of black ops, corrupt officials, and media puppeteers who see him as the perfect fall guy. He thought he was chasing purpose and a 401K plan—until purpose chased him back with a surgical saw and an igloo cooler. 
    Will he choose himself or America?  
    The only way to find out is to read the series.
