Editing client’s sales motivation book published

Dynast Amir,
an editing client of mine this winter, has released his first book, “Get Off You Ass and Cold Call!!!” The self-help/sales motivation book serves as a reminder to not only sales professionals but to people in all walks of life, that to accomplish everything your heart desires, one must pay a price. This “price,” simply stated, is hard work. Amir was an American Family Insurance ALL-USA first team running back from California in 1999 and signed with Georgia. He’s now in sales in the Los Angeles area. Amir’s book is available at Amazon.com.

Goodreads reviewer lauds my poetry collection

Love Letters to Sophie’s Mom
recently received a positive review on Goodreads. Of the love poems, reader Kyle John Janison wrote, “A number of qualities set this book apart from other poetry collections. ... This is no run-of-the-mill collection and one you’ll certainly enjoy.” The collection traces a relationship from the first dance of love at a coffee shop to its tragic demise as mental illness overtakes the narrator’s beloved. Inspired by a diverse array of writings, including the verse of Pablo Neruda, Dylan Thomas, and Bob Dylan, the collection’s 34 poems touch upon themes including nature, Southern California, and the Northwoods. Love Letters to Sophie’s Mom is available in paperback and Kindle; and just in time for Valentine’s Day, soon on Nook, iBook and other eReaders.

Volume One features ‘7 Minutes a Day...’ series

Volume One,
the premier guide to arts and entertainment in the Chippewa Valley, ran an article in its latest edition about my new 7 Minutes a Day… writing guidebooks. The biweekly newspaper quoted me as saying, “The challenge of self-publishing is that writers have to do almost everything that a big publishing house would otherwise do for them – editing, designing a cover, formatting the book, handling the printing and distribution, sending out press releases and more.” The 7 Minutes a Day series, which helps writers navigate through those obstacles, is available in paperback or ebook.

Deming, N.M. newspaper features '7 Minutes'

The Deming

(N.M.) Headlight newspaper ran an article about my new 7 Minutes a Day… writing guidebooks on Monday. The three-book series takes writers through the process of penning a novel to self-publishing and then promoting that book. The Headlight quoted me as saying, “Big publishing houses just aren't printing many titles anymore. The result is a lot of great books aren't going to see daylight unless authors take it upon themselves to print their own books. Self-publishing has allowed authors to do just that.” I lived in Deming from 1992-94, where I taught English and journalism at the middle and high schools.

Editor's novel receives another positive review

My
novel Windmill received a positive review on Thursday on Amazon.com. The novel tells the story of Carl Steinar and his sons, Peter and Lyle, who for 15 years have maintained a tenuous balance keeping together their family and farm…but when Abbie Blaire, the new reporter in town, comes to write a story about them, a monkey wrench is thrown into their perfect machine: She is the spitting image of the wife and mother the Steinar men lost years ago. Of the book, a reviewer named Arthur wrote, “I found myself quickly drawn in by the author’s amazing analogies and magnificent metaphors to a story that grabs your interest and does not let go until the last page is turned.” Windmill is available in paperback.
