THE NOVEL

Elana’s Table

Elena’s Table is a love story, but not in the way you might think. It is a love story about community. It is a story about how we can choose to lift others up to build and maintain a world where togetherness is the cure for many ailments.

Maria finds herself in Rhodes, uncertain about her life, her career, and her own identity. Along the way she finds an abandoned hotel bereft of life and purpose. Its condition reminds her of herself.

The story of the abandoned hotel has its own story, which guides Maria on a path that she would have never imagined, bringing her new meaning, new direction, and true love. Not just with a man. But with a community.

A Story Across Time

Eighty Years. One Hotel. Two Women.

The past can teach us about the present, but only if we open ourselves to it. Maria learns how to live in the now from a woman who has longed since passed.
Elena never knew that her story, her strength, and her love, would continue to touch others, forever.

The Story of Elena
Elena wanted what most women wanted in her time. A loving partner. Surrounded by family. A house filled with children. She knew what her future held in store. Until she didn’t.
The Story of Maria
Maria knew what she wanted. A kick-ass career. Loads of success. The opportunity to take over the company one day. She knew was she was doing. Until she didn’t.
The Story of Rhodes
An island in Greece filled with resilient people who wanted to live their lives. But war bought change. And sadness. And isolation. The people of Rhodes wanted things back to normal. Except they could never be.

Don’t be fooled by the name, the hair color, or crazy shoes. Michael Sherlock is serious about business. She is dedicated to creating positive, productive, and profitable workplaces, and helping individuals and businesses unlock their ultimate potential.

Before launching her global training company, “Shock Your Potential”, Michael was Vice President of US Sales for two multi-national medical device companies, responsible for net revenue exceeding $75 million and as many as 500 employees at a time.

Michael has been referenced in Forbes, quoted in Yahoo Finance and is a frequent media expert concerning hiring and employee management on local and national news outlets such as 6ABC in Philadelphia, ABC 13 in Houston, Daily Blast Live, and more.

She is a two-time best-selling leadership and sales author, and now sets her sights on her debut novel, Elena’s Table.
