An Interview with J.W. Webb: Author of Blood Feud

His epic saga titled the Legends of Ansu blends the mystic grandeur of JRR Tolkien with the gritty realism of GRR Martin. Webb’s characters are three dimensional and flawed, their world a tapestry of vivid color and constant motion. All the books feature beautiful bespoke sketches by the late Tolkien Illustrator Roger Garland.

The Most Important Lessons in Economics and Finance by Dr. Anthony M. Criniti IV

Criniti IV has created more than two hundred principles by which he believes a serious student of finance may move from theory to practice in The Most Important Lessons in Economics and Finance: A Comprehensive Collection of Time-Tested Principles of Wealth Management.

Criniti makes his intentions clear in Part I, an introductory section in which he defines his terms, which he has chosen carefully: principles, for example, are an attempt to “reflect natural laws” that will endure, as opposed to “rules” that can be changed arbitrarily. The […]
