Listen to an excerpt of Alex Segura's SECRET IDENTITY, read by Aida Reluzco.

It’s 1975 and the comic book industry is struggling, but Carmen Valdez doesn’t care. She’s an assistant at Triumph Comics, which doesn’t have the creative zeal of Marvel nor the buttoned-up efficiency of DC, but it doesn’t matter. Carmen is tantalizingly close to fulfilling her dream of writing a superhero book.

That dream is nearly a reality when one of the Triumph writers enlists her help to create a new character, which they call “The Lethal Lynx,” Triumph's first female hero. But her colleague is acting strangely and asking to keep her involvement a secret. And then he’s found dead, with all of their scripts turned into the publisher without her name. Carmen is desperate to piece together what happened to him, to hang on to her piece of the Lynx, which turns out to be a runaway hit. But that’s complicated by a surprise visitor from her home in Miami, a tenacious cop who is piecing everything together too quickly for Carmen, and the tangled web of secrets and resentments among the passionate eccentrics who write comics for a living.

Alex Segura uses his expertise as a comics creator as well as his unabashed love of noir fiction to create a truly one-of-a-kind novel--hard-edged and bright-eyed, gritty and dangerous, and utterly absorbing.

Bills pile up. Savings accounts go down. Marriages go south. Pandemics rage. Work goes off the rails. Stress goes off the charts. Suddenly, you feel powerless to calm life's chaos. It's all too much to take on by yourself. But pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado has great news for you—Help Is Here.

Now more than ever, we're all weary from the loads we carry and the challenges we face. We have questions we cannot answer and problems we cannot solve. We'd hoped that life would be an invigorating adventure or an inspiring journey. We never expected to grow so tired so quickly. But Max teaches us that we can find fresh strength and purpose in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible makes more than a hundred references to the Holy Spirit, and Jesus says more about the Spirit than he does about the church, marriage, finances, and the future. But do we really know the Spirit? In Help Is Here, Max will give you the tools and encouragement you need to:

Learn who the Spirit is and how the Spirit can help
Become joyful, enthusiastic, and empowered as you draw closer to God
Confidently take on any difficulty with the power of the Spirit
Discover your unique gifts and purpose to further God's kingdom
Help Is Here reminds us that our Good Shepherd doesn't just feed us; he leads us. He does more than correct us; he directs us. God keeps us on track—and best of all, he's commissioned the Holy Spirit to guide us down the winding roads of life, wherever they may lead us.

No more walking this path alone. No more carrying weight you were not intended to bear. It's time for you to enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the vigorous life he offers. You can rest easy knowing that Help Is Here.

Whether you're a marketer, entrepreneur, investor, strategic thinker, or somewhere in between, your work life is constantly affected by influence.  You're either exerting influence to change consumer behavior or to motivate your teammates, or even affected by the influence of trends and individuals you come in contact with on a day-to-day basis.  When it comes to influence, Robin Kaminsky hates to lose.   The marketing and business maven (who was once listed as one of the 100 most influential women in the world) served as the CMO/EVP of Publishing at Activision during the launch of titles like Guitar Hero, and Call of Duty.  The latter of which is still considered to be the most successful franchise launch of all time; both financially and fan-ancially.  Robin's creative problem solving abilities have touched other major franchises from Pepsi to Johnson & Johnson, Revlon and even the world of free-to-play games.  Most recently, she serves as an advisor and investor to a multitude of companies and entrepreneurs.  On Innovation Crush, Robin Breaks down the power of influence,  the importance of the win, and how to create successful leading organizations and individuals.   Featuring special guest host, Tameka Kee.
