  Richard Charkin's experience as a publisher is unique among his generation. Over the past half century he has been (at different times) a scientific and medical publisher, a journal publisher, a digital publisher and a general publisher. He has worked for family-owned, publicly-owned, and university-owned companies and start-ups. In this memoir he uses his unrivaled experience to illustrate the profound changes that have affected the identity and practices but not the purpose of publishing. 
  Of course there are stories about well-known personalities he has encountered in his career - Madonna, Jeffrey Archer, Robert Maxwell, Paul Hamlyn, Mohammed Al-Fayed and many more. But his primary purpose is to provide an insider's account of the social, technological, commercial and geographical developments as seen through the eyes of a gifted all-round publisher who has made a very significant contribution to the profession. 
  This is an insider's account of the last fifty years of the publishing industry: the essential guide for writers, students of publishing, and book industry professionals including librarians, booksellers, literary agents, printers, copyright lawyers, digital experts.

  All Eternity Lies Before Me -...

  A suspense-filled real-life drama perfect for veterans and fans of military dramas alike, the author interweaves her memories as a Navy pilot’s wife with the tale of what happened to her husband’s crew after having to ditch their crippled plane in stormy North Pacific waters during the Cold War. 
  Alfa Foxtrot 586, a P-3 Orion turboprop, was conducting a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula on October 26, 1978, when a propeller malfunction turned into four engine fires and the pilot—Loreen Grigsby’s husband, Jerry—was forced to ditch into remote, mountainous seas churned by a frigid North Pacific storm. The aircraft sank within ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it—which left thirteen men to huddle together in the remaining two rafts, the smaller of which soon began to leak. 
  Told from Loreen’s perspective as a navy wife at home as well as through the eyes of the men who survived the disaster, All Eternity Lies Before Me weaves a gripping tale of struggle, uncertainty, grief, and heroism. It shares Loreen’s terror as she receives notifications about her husband’s crew’s desperate battle against wind, seas, and biting cold. It details the ad hoc search and rescue mission, a valiant effort to rescue the men before time runs out. And, tragically, it tells how a young Navy wife becomes a widow and single mom. 
  But Jerry’s death is not the end of Loreen’s story—and in the years following his loss, she discovers resilience, strength, and even new love with one of the accident survivors, Matt Gibbons. As she begins her journey toward a brighter future, she’s inspired by the camaraderie and brotherhood forged between the survivors and their rescuers—and ultimately, the long-term lessons learned by all involved become part of the lasting legacy of this event.

  NOT ONE MORE DAY is Candice Morrow’s gripping story of surviving family and spousal abuse, breaking destructive generational cycles & claiming personal power. 
  Raised in an abusive, violent home, Candice later married a man who broke her bones, bruised her body, berated her, and even had her placed behind bars. She lived in constant fear, trying to survive while raising her two young sons. 
  For years, Candice’s family had told her she was too stupid to attend college. But these six words, spoken by a young woman she’d just met, changed everything: “Why don’t you go to college?” 
  Candice knew education was her only way out. Battling ADHD and dyslexia, she earned her nursing degree while enduring unimaginable abuse, pain, and fear. 
  NOT ONE MORE DAY is a lifeline for those who feel trapped, a source of strength for those fighting their way out, and a tribute to those refusing to give up. With unflinching candor, Candice Morrow recounts the terrifying realities of domestic violence and the immense challenges she faced after leaving her abuser––and celebrates the vibrant career and peaceful life she’s now enjoying.
