Gloom by Ricky Olson Pdf

In Ricky Olson's gritty debut collection you'll dive into stories that aren't afraid to tell it like it is. He draws a grim landscape where men and women are caught in equally disturbing scenarios. In one, a "model" addicted to the internet gets invited to an elite party by a stranger. In another, a high school student obsessed with death tries to quench an ever-growing thirst that can't be satiated. In others, embarrassing sex is explored, survival of the fittest is exercised, and death is redeemed. Throughout these twelve short stories one thing is common: Olson isn't afraid to leave any rock unturned while exploring the dark and taboo side of the human condition.

When Amelia is offered up to the Sun God as a sacrifice, she did not think she would end up trying to save the people who sacrificed her. Amelia is an outcast in her small closed community, Woodmere. Being unwed and unable to control her destructive powers makes her useless in the leader’s eyes. Still, nothing could prepare her when he drugs her and offers her up as a sacrifice to their Sun Ever. Gloom, the Forest Ever, takes his job very seriously. So, when strange symbols start appearing in both his and the humans' realm, he takes it upon himself to investigate. Finding a woman, bound and using powers he hasn't seen for over a hundred years sends him on a course he could never have imagined. Can Amelia harness her powers, and help Gloom to trust, so they can work together to find the betrayer in the city, or will this evil rise and spread and consume them all? Gloom’s Light is the first book in The Evers Saga, a young adult, fantasy romance series. With slow burn romance, long forgotten evils rising and powers emerging, these books are sure to be a favourite.

Gloom to Boom by Andrea Bonime-Blanc Pdf

Leaders – whether in business, government or the nonprofit sector – take risks but often without fully understanding risk at a strategic level. Expanding upon the well-known "ESG" risks, this book explains the key nonfinancial (environmental, social, governance and technological or ESGT) risks. For many leaders (including board members), taking risk without knowledge or preparation can lead to organizational crisis, scandal and value destruction. For those who are prepared, resilience follows and so does the ability to transform ESGT risk into opportunity and value for stakeholders. In this book, global governance, risk, ethics and cyber strategist, author and board member, Andrea Bonime-Blanc, shows practitioners at all levels how to effectively identify and manage their top ESGT risks to avoid crises and transform risk into sustainable long-term resilience and value. Gloom to Boom is a book for everyone – from the highest levels of leadership in an organization (the board, CEO and C-suite), to other senior leaders (the chief risk officer, CFO, general counsel, head of CSR and sustainability, CISO, CHRO), and midlevel leaders, students and folks simply interested in current affairs and the role and impact of strategic risk and opportunity on their lives.

June Gloom by Bev Brannon Pdf

Millie O'Donnell slowly jogs uphill until she reaches her favorite rock, where each day she stops to rest. Then, in the solitude of the early morning, the waves crashing on the shore below, she lets her cherished memories of her young husband heal her broken heart. Suddenly, she notices a pile of trash. An old blanket...blonde hair spilling from one end. As June gloom shrouds the small college town on the central coast of California, two more bodies wrapped in blankets are found near Millie. With the third body left practically in Millie's backyard, the media implies she's a suspect. When all viable leads direct back to Millie, Detective Jake Mitchell's "cop intuition" says she's not a suspect but a victim, and he protects her from the attacks as he tries to rein in his new emotions. Detective Jake Mitchell's investigation leads to the college the victims attended; to the flea market where similar blankets are sold; to a rape victim found barely alive; and finally to a murderer spiraling out of control.
