Acsquidentally In Love (Sucker For Love Mysteries #1)
by K.L. HiersA Sucker For Love MysteryNothing brings two men—or one man and an ancient god—together like revenge. Private investigator Sloane sacrificed his career in law enforcement in pursuit of his parents’ murderer. Like them, he is a follower of long-forgotten gods, practicing their magic and offering them his prayers… not that he’s ever gotten a response. Until now. Azaethoth the Lesser might be the patron of thieves and tricksters, but he takes care of his followers. He’s come to earth to avenge the killing of one of his favorites, and maybe charm the pants off the cute detective Fate has placed in his path. If he has his way, they’ll do much more than bring a killer to justice. In fact, he’s sure he’s found the man he’ll spend his immortal life with. Sloane’s resolve is crumbling under Azaethoth’s surprising sweetness, and the tentacles he sometimes glimpses escaping the god’s mortal form set his imagination alight. But their investigation gets stranger and deadlier with every turn. To survive, they’ll need a little faith… and a lot of mystical firepower.

Act Different, Think Different, Make a Difference: Why Innovation Is an Investment-in Yourself, in Your Company, and in the Greater World
by Clayton M. Christensen Jeffrey H. Dyer Hal B. GregersenExplosive productivity and expansive profit margins are just added bonuses. The allure of the search, the thrill of the challenge, and the prospect of making meaningful change-these are the reasons real innovators choose to innovate. In this chapter, authors Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregerson, and Clayton Christensen sum up the insights they have learned in their eight years of research and offer an optimistic outlook on what innovation can do for our future. Social innovators have solved complex problems and have improved the lives of the less fortunate. Business innovators have also used their ingenuity and their resources to give back to their communities and to the greater world. Innovation is infectious and, the authors argue, will continue to advance society, provided that people are willing to take risks and make investments. Appended to this chapter is a road map for how you can master the five discovery skills of disruptive innovators-associating, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting-and foster them in the next generation of workers. This chapter was originally published as the Conclusion to "The Innovator's DNA: Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators."
