Sage Walker's suspenseful, Locus Award-winning first novel, Whiteout, takes us to a twenty-first century Earth where government means multinational corporation. And daily living means a struggle to survive the effects of overpopulation, poverty, pollution, and hunger. One last hope remains: Antarctica, the only source of pristine water and food left on the planet. Antarctica is protected from human exploitation by international treaty—and that treaty’s due for renegotiation. The people who have the talents to influence the outcome of these negotiations run Edges, a company of media manipulators. They’ve been hired by one of the corporations for whom the current situation suits them just fine, and they’d like to keep it that way. This team knows that they have the skills to make whatever they want happen. But they also know that if they succeed, they might doom the planet.

With The Man in the Tree, Locus Award-winning author Sage Walker has given us a thrilling hard science fiction mystery that explores the intersection of law, justice, and human nature. Humanity’s last hope of survival lies in space...but will we even get there? Helt Borresen is an Incident Analyst. What that means is that aboard the seed ship Kybele, he is the closest thing that the organization has to a security officer. But he doesn’t think that it’ll be a big part of his job, as all the candidates have been carefully screened. Why the need for a seed ship? Because our planet is toast and the colonists that leave our world are the best shot that we have for our species to continue. Everything is set...and then someone is found hanging dead just weeks before the launch. Fear and paranoia spread as the death begins to look more and more like a murder. The authorities want the case settled quickly and quietly so as not to cause panic. And Helt is the one to prevent a murderer from sabotaging the entire mission. “Rapid-fire storytelling from start to finish!”—Greg Bear At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
While shopping in a Virginia suburb, First Lady Kathleen Maguire is accosted by a man she knew years ago in Belfast. Taken to a remote location, she is invited to participate in secret peace talks designed to help bring peace to Northern Ireland. Over the objections of the Director of the FBI and others, President Kellan Maguire agrees to allow his wife to proceed to Derry to participate in the talks. The group is to include the prime ministers of Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland, but an assassination attempt on the former disrupts the proceedings. Back in the United States, the president's motives are questioned, and he soon faces impeachment charges for allowing his wife to participate in the secret mission. Once again Kathleen Maguire becomes the focal point of controversy, and it is her testimony before Congress that will determine the results of the investigation.
Born in 1947 in New York City, I was adopted and raised in Pittsford, New York.; I always considered myself a bit of an outlier. I never fit into a category. Intuition, humor, and instinct guided my life choices. I created my good luck and my bad luck. I was well educated at an east coast boarding school but hated school. My love of reading has always been my institution of higher learning. I have a mind that is infinitely curious about everything, but I have a particular fascination for psychology, all spiritual knowledge, quantum science, and political policies. I have gratefully been able to adapt to most situations because I learned long ago that chaos and change would most likely be my life’s paths.

This story details how Steven Sage went from a middle-class life of privilege to teen delinquency, to the young adult life of a ne’er-do-well who was working jobs he hated, and to finding himself on the doorstep of community college. With a family and working twenty to thirty hours a week and having decided to better himself morally and educationally, he ultimately obtained a PhD in psychology and a career as a professor. It should be entertaining for most and perhaps inspirational. It shows that with a shift in personal mission, one can make amends for wrongs, recover from setbacks, and still make the most of life.

Women are rocking the world of business, changing the face of commerce, and bringing our talents to the marketplace with fervor, commitment, and passion. Over the last 15 years, women have stepped into entrepreneurship in significantly greater numbers than men, but we’re also failing at those businesses even faster than men. This book is going to change that. Women Rocking Business provides a revolutionary approach to building a business that honors innate feminine values. The book is full of practical "how-to’s" that will help women become thriving entrepreneurs from a place of empowering others rather than powering over them, a place of collaboration rather than competition and contribution rather than greed. Sage Lavine has seen firsthand through working with thousands of emerging female entrepreneurs that when women learn about marketing and entrepreneurship through this lens, they are better positioned to implement effective strategies and create success. Sage is the CEO of Women Rocking Business, a consulting and coaching organization that has touched and inspired over 75,000 aspiring women entrepreneurs around the globe to build businesses that change the world. In this practical guidebook, she lays out a specific plan for building a business that honors work-life balance to a degree readers may not have thought possible (or practical). They will discover how, by working just 12 days a month or less, they can have a career that both supports them financially and fits into their lives, rather than having to settle for a life that fits around an overwhelming work schedule. It’s a new day and the opportunity for women is great. This book will be an answered prayer for women who hope to unleash their life’s potential and make their mark upon the world.
