Owning and operating a business can be a lot of work with little return; but it can also be a hugely rewarding experience filled with excitement and money beyond your wildest dreams. Which way will your business go? Your success or failure depends on many things; but in the end it all depends on YOU. I ve been a businessman for over forty years. I ve gone broke and made millions; fortunately in that order! In life you get two types of education; the one you are given in a classroom and the one you get for yourself. This book is hopefully the start of your ongoing business education. There is an old saying, Things are twice as hard to get out of ....than into. So don't get into a business without learning everything you can before investing your time and money. Most new business owners take the time to learn something about starting a business, some have learned a bit about how to run a business but very few take the time to know how to profitable exit a business. I have examined many business strategies and tried several and I can assure you that it is difficult to succeed without learning all phases of business. I have gained the knowledge to help guide you through the process of profitably starting your business, running your business, expanding your business and exiting your business when you choose. I invite you to let me share with you what I ve learned after my many business experiences.

(Winner of Britain's Debut Dagger Award)Once he was Sierra Lane, hero to countless youngsters in a series of B-movie westerns. Now, after two years in prison, John Ray Horn lives on the margins of post-World War II Los Angeles. His wife has left him, and, blacklisted by the studios, he makes ends meet by collecting debts for his old Indian co-star, Joseph Mad Crow. Then an old friend, Scotty, contacts Horn. He has come across some obscene photos, including one, several years old, of Horn's stepdaughter, Clea. Within days, Scotty is dead, and Clea has run away. Horn's search takes him from neon-lit ocean-front piers to wooded canyons, from rich homes in the Hollywood Hills to Central Avenue, the Harlem of LA, a street rich in jazz and corruption. But will the on-screen tough-guy hero be able to sustain his role off-screen?

John Ray Horn knows all about loss--and regret. He was once Sierra Lane, hero to countless youngsters in a series of cheap westerns. Now, after a spell in prison, he lives on the margins of 1940s Los Angeles. Blacklisted by the studios, he makes ends meet by collecting debts for his old Indian co-star, Joseph Mad Crow. One rain-soaked LA evening, a chance encounter brings Horn into contact with an old flame. Rose Galen played the female lead in his second movie. Young, beautiful, supremely talented, she had a shining quality to her. Now Rose is a shattered creature, drink-sodden and heavy with sadness. Something happened to her years ago, before Horn first knew her, something so terrible that it would eventually leave her broken. Hoping to uncover her long-held secret, Horn goes to visit Rose at her shabby rooming house. He discovers her strangled body. Aware of a debt to her that he never fully acknowledged, he sets out with the aid of Mad Crow to find her killer. His search takes him back into the Hollywood of the 1920s, to the Jazz Age, the era of the silent film, and a wild party attended by both movie celebrities and racketeers. On that night, a terrible act left a young woman dead and several people guarding a secret that would only begin to unravel after Rose Galen took her last tortured breath.
