An American Family Sampler, The Founding Generation, 1814-1908

By: Don Mazzella

Set in the American Century from 1814 to 2003, An American Family Sampler is a chronicle of five generations who built and ultimately destroyed a great company. From its mercantile roots through country banking then morphing into a manufacturing and shipping giant and eventually becoming a financial powerhouse, the company, Prescotts, waxed and waned with America. Although based on a real life events, a story about a company is boring. What will keep reader interest are the stories of the family, its members, workers, spouses, friends and enemies. The thread binding these diverse characters is the company. But the book is about the characters recorded in its pages. They include: •Henry Prescott—founding son who drives it to early success with the help of his wife, Rebecca. Their marriage is one of partnership and passion. •William Prescott—their only child to live to maturity he builds on his civil war experiences to create a community banking empire. •Samuel Gilbert—born the son of a manumitted slave and he rises within the company to be its de facto operations leader and the founder of his own family wealth. At one point he is the highest ranking Negro in America. The author infused this novel with characters taken from real life. Some of the events and actions described are true, only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. In some cases, they have been never reported. Donald P. Mazzella has been a journalist his working entire life. As a reporter, correspondent, editor or member of such companies as McGraw-Hill, Essence, Thomson Publications, and NBC News, he was involved with some of the 20th Century’s major events.

RULER OF THE SEAS—AN ADMIRAL'S DIARY

By: Don Mazzella

“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”—President Harry S Truman Some military heroes never fought a battle. Spanning forty years, this three-book historical fiction series chronicles the true-life events of US naval officer, Eric Dykman. Made Naval Attaché after marrying a wild Venezuelan heiress, he is drawn into the South American spy wars. His successful efforts to ensure military stores reached Allied soldiers when and where they were most needed foiled Nazis on three continents. Able to end Allied shipping bottlenecks and route convoys safely, he became involved in the rampant South American spy conflicts prior to America’s entry into World War II. After being marked for death by Nazi spies, he was ordered back to Washington and told to improve and protect American ocean supply lines. Despite opposition from entrenched commanders, his efforts to keep the Atlantic Ocean highway flowing significantly contributes to the Allied victory. His Faustian bargain with the Mafia results in tragedy. All is disclosed in the first volume, RULER OF THE SEAS.

The Janus Principle

By: JoAnn Mills Laing

THE JANUS PRINCIPLE offers solutions to the often vexing task of organizing a large organization (and even small firms) into an effective marketing engine to profitably sell into the small business marketplace. Addressing the rapidly expanding role of the Internet and other electronic gateways, the authors also demonstrate how to more effectively use traditional sales tools in an integrated marketing effort. The authors have distilled 20+ years of experience advising Fortune 100 corporations as well as researching the small business marketplace into a concept that large and small organizations can adopt and use. THE JANUS PRINCIPLE is an easily understood and implement approach that helps focus the selling organization (large and small) on those factors that breed success in this enormous, still growing market. THE JANUS PRINCIPLE takes its name from the Roman god of the portal or door that looks both outward and inward. The book lists specific things you need to do to successfully sell to small businesses, and describes how to utilize direct mail and online channels together to profitably sell over the Internet.
