Synopsis

NO ONE is their authentic self at workCurrant Keppler has a fresh MBA and her first corporate job: participating in the LATTE Management Rotation Program at Alpine Chalet Coffee Company, the Midwest's second-largest coffee chain. She's fluent in jargon, excited for new challenges, and completely bought in—until she realizes that there's something fishy with her first project.I'm in the big leagues now, she tells herself. This is just how the game is played. But when a question of ethics turns into a question of murder, she learns that some people will do anything to succeed – and that NO ONE is their authentic self at work.Combining corporate culture, the start-up scene, cabin life, and punny coffee drinks, Firebrand takes a campy, loving look at impostor syndrome, authenticity, and the absurdities of the corporate world.“A clever mystery replete with Millennials, MBAs, Marketing, and Macchiatos… It’s witty, fresh, and spot on.” – Susan D. Steiner, Murder by Manuscript (the August Burns series)"Funny, existential, and thought-provoking." – Mahmoud Rasmi, philosophy consultant"As a Minnesotan and someone going into corporate life, I appreciated it." – Mya Sullivan, Minnesotan going into corporate life

I first read Marion Zimmer Bradley’s “The Firebrand” many years ago, and have just finished the latest of many re-reads of this epic novel of the Trojan War. As with her famous “Mists of Avalon” which told the story of Arthur and Camelot from the perspective of the women in the story, so too does The......more

Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Firebrand is an excellent book, and one that I look forward to rereading again at some point in time. This novel, at just over 600 pages, tells the story of the Trojan War from the perspective of Kassandra the Prophetess, one of the daughters of Priam and Hecuba, the king......more

Quem me conhece sabe que As Brumas de Avalon são uns dos meus livros preferidos e tinha bastante curiosidade em saber como Marion Zimmer Bradley tinha recriado a história de Tróia através de Cassandra. Assim, aproveitei comprar o livro na Hora H. Em Presságio de Fogo, a história vai-se desenrolando a......more
