In Between Epiphanies – $10
The instinct to observe always follows the poet within this book. Mark Sengenberger has seen how a great many little things can cooperate to make something greater than the sum of its parts. Like bricks combine to make a building, and buildings combine to form a skyline, Mark enjoys dissecting life down to its individual pieces. Find out where some of those individual pieces overlap and intersect In Between Epiphanies…
Alone With Someone – $10
Bill, a self-contained, romantic poet, becomes engulfed within the placidity of music. He finally finds hope for inspiration in a little more than a Melody. Feelings grow strong and so do little voices as Bill tries to engage in more than just writing about romance. He thinks that Melody may be the one inspiration that connects him to his soulmate but, does he truly feel this is true, or will his inner reflection, that little voice, silence the symphonies and cause him to be alone, with someone. Listen within as Bill tries to answer the questions we all face:
How much do we question;
How much do we debate;
How long do we wait,
Before our hearts
Stop making memories
Of our true soulmate.
Driving ROI – $7
What’s driving your ROI? Driving ROI sets the stage for driving excellence within your organization. Your path, position, and perspective influence where you add and find value in a business decision. Whether you are an executive, trainer, operator, or a member of the marketing team, you will find value in the surveys, summaries, and stories trapped within. Most conversations about return on investments begin by someone telling you their method of calculating a dollar value for your efforts. ROI calculations have been based on subjectivity and cavalier approaches to assigning value to efforts. The reality is we all contribute to a return. Sometimes, that contribution is positive. Sometimes, it is negative. Sometimes, we need to share our stories and connect them before we apply some formula or a calculation. Driving ROI provides important insight and connections to communication, listening, delivering, and integrating a distinct return to your investments.

Hello,
I purchased one of your featured books entitled: In Between Epiphanies by Mark Sengenberger. I really enjoyed the book and would like to submit the following book review.
In Between Epiphanies is a most unique blend of poetic selections, written by Mark Sengenberger. Mark has worked his magic with heavenly observations that will amaze you, and yet he expresses himself with a human quality that anyone can identify with.
Loving the ocean the way I do, I am actually feeling the sea breezes and walking on the wharfs and remembering what that was all like again, when I read his poem, A New Horizon.
His own unique style of humor is branded right into his poems, such as, My Cemetery Mind.
Rain of Diamonds and Absolute Zero are wonderful examples of Mark’s love of the planets. He knows how to make you feel as though you truly are dancing with Neptune. Or imagine playing Solitaire With The Stars! That’s another really stand-out poem in this book. The subject of Heaven is always depicted with respect by Mark, and you experience this when you read A Heaven’s Lullaby.
Even when your head spins a bit, with planetary poetry taking you for a ride up in space, you somehow feel the human, earthy quality of this great poet, right to your very soul. If a “touch isn’t touch unless it is felt”, than a poem isn’t poetry until you have experienced In Between Epiphanies.
