Tactical 16 Signs Michael McGarrey for “Life’s Memorable Moments:  A Collection of Short Stories”

Michael McGarrey gives readers a reason to smile with his compilation of delightful short stories.

Colorado Springs, Colo. – – Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of Michael McGarrey for Life’s Memorable Moments:  A Collection of Short Stories.

In his debut book, McGarrey shares a series of light-hearted stories about his life, including numerous mishaps and often awkward moments that readers will find amusing and fun.

“Get ready to get a good laugh and a look into some of the events in my life that helped shape me,” said McGarrey, who was in the U.S. Army infantry for almost 8 years. “I want people to think of their own memorable moments after reading my book, and see that it’s the embarrassing and sometimes hard things that give us the best memories.”

McGarrey set out to write this book to reassure others that everyone has both bad and good things that happen to them over a lifetime. But, when you compare, the bad times usually make up only about one percent compared to the joyous moments, he says.

The author includes many short stories, including tales about a fishing debacle,

a construction mishap, and an embarrassing moment on the beach.

“Michael’s book will definitely bring joy and encouragement to many readers with his feel-good series of stories,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “He helps his audience see that it’s okay to laugh at yourself in a world often filled with negativity. This is one that will be hard to stop reading once you start!”

Colorado Springs, Colo. – – Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of Spencer Emch for Time of Flight:  A Gun Pilot’s Story.

Time of Flight: A Gun Pilot's Story by author Spencer Emch. Tactical 16 Publishing.

In his debut book, Emch explores the full spectrum of human emotions servicemembers go through when they’re put into dangerous situations fraught with chaos and uncertainty.

“The good, the bad, the hilarious, and the surprising are all included in this war story of human experience and emotion,” said Emch, who served in the U.S. Army for 12 years as both a musician and an Apache helicopter pilot. “I lead readers on a journey from what seemed like safety from within the borders of an allied nation to the war-torn deserts of Iraq along a crescendo of combat missions.”

Emch weaves a story filled with a mix of high tension and adventure to include launching missiles at up to over 1.5 times the maximum effective range in many last-ditch efforts to aid soldiers on the ground.

“Spencer gets to the heart of the matter from page one: At the core, every servicemember is a human being experiencing so many emotions-happiness, sadness, anger, frustration, hatred, friendship, love, empathy, and apathy,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “His story gives readers such a deep understanding of what our young men and women out on the front lines go through day in and day out.”

Emch is currently flying helicopters and airplanes in Europe, where he lives with his wife and newborn son. When he isn’t flying, he is helping to develop the local music scene, surfing, or spending time in the mountains.

Tactical 16 Signs Jeff Clark ​ for “Hear These Truths:  The Ultimate Guide to Building Your Leadership Algorithm”

Jeff Clark, Author. Tactical 16 Publishing.Jeff Clark equips readers with essential tools to define their leadership philosophy for success.

Colorado Springs, Colo. – – Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of Jeff Clark for Hear These Truths:  The Ultimate Guide to Building Your Leadership Algorithm.

Hear These Truths: The Ultimate Guide to Building Your Leadership Algorithm by Author Jeff Clark. Tactical 16 Publishing.In his debut book, Clark outlines the crucial steps readers should take to design their own philosophy, or what he calls their algorithm, to rule the workplace and understand their leadership mission, vision, and goals.

“Approaching leadership without a strategy will bury you and slow your progress,” said Clark, a coach and mentor with certifications in Lean Six Sigma, technical training, and executive leadership. “The way an algorithm – a rule set for success – guides the content of a website, your school of thought on leading must do the same. It’s the ‘call to action.’”

Clark draws upon his experiences as an entrepreneur, as a retired Air Force logistician serving during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, and as a government civil service employee to lay out a clear plan for readers to win in the workplace.

This plan covers:  defining leadership; distinguishing between power and purpose; being a servant leader; making smart decisions with confidence; becoming empowered and empowering others; effectively communicating and listening; and, accountability and its importance for leaders and teams.

“Jeff’s book lays out such a solid foundation for those looking to kickstart their careers or hoping to refine their leadership skills,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “He asks readers to be honest with themselves in a way they maybe haven’t been before. This is definitely a book that will reshape your thinking and way of doing things as a professional! A must read!”

Clark lives in Oklahoma with his wife and three children, his oldest currently serving on active duty in the Air Force. He hosts a podcast, “Course of Action,” volunteers with multiple veterans’ organizations, and is working on his doctorate.
