Best of Friends Trilogy

Book 1: Best of Friends: What happens when a family death wreaks havoc among siblings? What would you do if the ‘peace-maker’ of the family suddenly loses control? If the opportunity arose, would you agree to simply ‘burn the will,’ sell the estate and split the proceeds? What would be your response when calling the cops and being told: “We’re not coming out, unless there are bullets flying and bodies to count?” Elizabeth Caliente is faced with such propositions in Sherry Brantley’s award-winning ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy. Best of Friends has won two national awards for ‘Best Fiction of the Year!’

Book 2: Before Best of Friends: In this much-anticipated prequel to the ‘Best of Friends,’ trilogy, readers discover how the Fabulous Five group were formed in their youth, and are introduced to the unfolding of the powerful secrets binding the group together. Secrets only this private group were privileged to know. Join this tight-knit group as you uncover the mystery of the ‘Secret of the Blanket.’ Included is an excerpt from the books’ final work of the trilogy, ‘Still Best of Friends.’

Book 3: Still Best of Friends: The explosive conclusion of the ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy! The Fabulous Five were bound together by secrets they’d all swore to carry to their graves. But with the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ exposing the ‘Secret of the Blanket,’ will the Fabulous Five find themselves desperately being consumed in a modern-day media frenzy that is threatening to consume them? Will this group of friends be able to survive the onslaught of the public revelation of their past deeds? Or will they crumble under the weight of their unexpected circumstances? Travel with the Fabulous Five: Elizabeth Caliente’, Kim Worthy, Kiona Stone, Angela Jackson-(A.J.) and Quineeta Davis as once again, they attempt to weather the storms of adversity that threaten to decimate their bond, their friendship, their past! Will the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ prove to be the final nail in the coffin? Or will vow to continue to ‘deny ‘til they die,’ their involvement in the mystery they’re shrouded in?

Meet the dynamic members of the Fabulous Five as this explosive trilogy takes readers on a whirlwind excursion among five friends. Though often humorous, the ride is filled with lessons on friendship, family dynamics and strong relationships. You’ll love connecting and bonding with the members of the Fabulous Five, as they deal individually and collectively with the drama that surrounds them!

Always, Never Almost:

Second Chance Romance, Single Dad, Family Drama,

Ex-drama, Slow Burn, Emotional

Andi Doyle built her life on her own terms. She owns a coffee shop in South Boston that she’s poured everything into, shows up fiercely for the people she loves, and learned one thing the hard way: she won’t be an afterthought. Not for anyone.

So when Gavin Byrne walks into her life with quiet intensity and a smile that makes her forget herself, she lets herself believe this one might be different. He’s steady. Present. Real.

Until she realizes she’s been waiting for a place in his life he never fully made room for.

Gavin doesn’t understand what he’s done until the distance between them is undeniable. He thought he had left his past where it belonged. He didn’t see how easily he defaulted to keeping parts of his life separate — smoothing things over, choosing the safer explanation, minimizing what mattered most when it felt complicated.

By the time he recognizes the cost of that mistake, Andi is already walking away.

Fighting his way back to her is one thing. But reconciliation doesn’t bring peace. The past he thought was settled resurfaces with its own agenda, threatening the life he’s fought to protect and forcing Andi straight into the center of it.

Now loving each other isn’t the only risk.

They’ll have to decide whether what they’re building is strong enough to withstand someone determined to tear it apart — or if some mistakes really do turn almost into never… or into always.

The Amazing Benefits of Wearing a Make Peace With Life Shirt

Can a shirt change your life?

Well... maybe not in the same way that winning the lottery, discovering buried treasure, or finding out Bigfoot has been secretly following your podcast would change your life.

But you'd be surprised at what can happen when you put on a shirt that carries a positive message.

At Make Peace With Life, we've always believed that energy matters. The thoughts we think, the words we speak, and even the messages we choose to wear all contribute to the energy we bring into the world. When you put on a Make Peace With Life shirt, you're doing more than getting dressed. You're making a statement. You're telling yourself—and everyone around you—that life doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. You're choosing positivity, growth, humor, and a little bit of metaphysical perspective before you've even had your morning coffee.

One of the first things many people notice is how often the shirts start conversations. A simple message can spark a smile, a compliment, or a meaningful discussion. Complete strangers may ask about the shirt. Friends may ask what Make Peace With Life means to you. Some people will simply smile when they read it. In a world where many people are rushing through their day, it's amazing how a positive message can create a connection. We've already experienced it ourselves. From compliments in grocery stores to conversations with cashiers and fellow travelers, these shirts have a way of bringing positive interactions into everyday life.

Of course, there may be a few other benefits that science hasn't fully confirmed yet. Some wearers report increased confidence. Others report higher energy levels. A few have claimed improved moods, stronger motivation, and a mysterious desire to spend more time outdoors enjoying life. While we can't officially guarantee any of those results, we can say that it's hard to feel completely negative while wearing a shirt that reminds you to make peace with life. Sometimes all we need is a simple reminder that life is happening for us, not against us.

The truth is that the real transformation doesn't come from the shirt itself. The transformation comes from the person wearing it. The shirt is simply a symbol of a decision. A decision to focus on possibilities instead of limitations. A decision to grow instead of staying stuck. A decision to choose happiness more often than frustration. A decision to see life as an adventure rather than a problem to solve.

And perhaps the best part of all? Every Make Peace With Life shirt helps support something bigger than fashion. A portion of our profits helps support charitable causes, allowing the positive energy created by the movement to extend even further into the world. So when you wear a Make Peace With Life shirt, you're not just investing in yourself—you're helping others too.

The before-and-after images featured here aren't really about clothing.

They're about possibility.

They're about growth.

They're about becoming the best version of yourself.

And while we can't promise that putting on a Make Peace With Life shirt will instantly transform your life, we can promise this:

You'll look pretty awesome while working on it.

And that, my friends, is one more way to Make Peace With Life.

Visions, Values, and Virtual Assistants;

AI needs you more than you need to fear it

The freight train of AI is moving at terminal velocity. Are you steering it, or just sitting on the tracks?

In the rush to capture short-term margins, organizations are deploying Virtual Assistants as digital walls, unintentionally eroding the very brand equity they spent decades building. When a customer is trapped in an automated loop, or a grieving family member is "processed" by a bot, the cost isn't just a lost call—it’s a lost soul for the brand.

In Visions, Values, and Virtual Assistants, Dr. Kendall Williams provides a scientist-practitioner’s roadmap for the Dual-Environment. Drawing on over 20 years of operational leadership and a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, this book moves beyond the hype to offer a framework for Human-in-the-Loop automation.

This book will help you: • Move from fear to confidence in the age of AI. • Lead your team through AI-driven change without losing their trust. • Identify which parts of your job make you irreplaceable. • Recognize when AI helps your customers, and when it doesn’t. • Identify which customer interactions should never be handed to a bot.

Make Friends With The Dragon: During The Dissertation Journey (Dissertation Series)

Make Friends With the Dragon: During the Dissertation Journey is an encouraging and practical guide for doctoral learners, graduate students, and dissertation writers who are navigating the emotional, academic, and personal challenges of completing a doctoral program.

In her previous book, So, You Want to Be a Doctoral Learner Huh? Are You Nuts?!, Dr. L. A. Davis shared the struggles, lessons, and survival strategies she learned while completing her own dissertation journey. Now, in Make Friends With the Dragon, she returns with a deeper reflection on life after earning her doctoral degree and on the challenges many students continue to face as they move through the dissertation process.

Inspired by her own experiences, as well as comments and concerns shared by students on her alma mater’s support board, Dr. Davis explores the “dragons” doctoral learners may encounter along the way. These dragons may appear as fear, procrastination, self-doubt, confusion, isolation, frustration, academic pressure, or the overwhelming demands of dissertation writing.

Rather than running from these challenges, Dr. Davis invites readers to make friends with the dragon. With honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, she guides students through the different stages and chapters of the dissertation journey, helping them recognize obstacles, build resilience, and keep moving toward completion.

This book is ideal for:

• Doctoral learners and PhD students
• EdD candidates
• Graduate students beginning the dissertation process
• Students struggling with dissertation writing
• Online doctoral learners
• Dissertation coaches, mentors, and academic support groups

Make Friends With the Dragon: During the Dissertation Journey offers encouragement, motivation, and practical insight for students who need a reminder that the dissertation dragon can be faced, understood, and conquered.
