Book shelves
Does anyone else look at a book shelf and get dejavu from when you read “that” one? I realized today there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to the stacking order of my shelves, but what brings me joy is recalling the moment when I needed the wisdom - now they sit like trophies that I admire.

My Subscription has Not Been Set Up Correctly
@Shane Vigeant Hi again, Shane. I see that I also don't have access to Author Launch Kit. When I paid during the Summit (one of the first 5 to sign up), I was told ALK was included in the $1897 I paid. I take it you're kind of the tech guy - could you please get my subscriptions set up properly and let me know when that's completed? Thanks so much!! Lauriann😮
Life lesson
I just had a friend from high school (i'm almost 70) pass away. I knew Dave in high school, and he helped me on the baseball team, he was there when I needed him. He was Mr. 3 sports and excelled at them all. I also worked with his mom, a cashier at the local grocery store where I had my first real job. She was good and fast and if you could keep up with her, you were then considered accomplished at your task of bag boy! I met Dave later on when we both worked at the same company - I was his boss for a short while, but he was a friend and a colleague and there when we needed him. Then later on we shared spotlight in helping the 50th high school reunion committee get arrangements made, and we pulled off a reunion still being spoke about today. So why do I say all of this now, yes - I miss my friend Dave, but its more than that for he taught me a lesson and one that I have heard echoed here a time or two. That is - Show up, Be genuine and Add value. That is how I will choose to remember my friend Dave, and that is how we should all approach this business. May you all have a great evening!
It’s been a minute since I’ve been here.
I thought my first book was ready months ago. But as Bullwinkle says, “this time for sure.” "Flawless Ketovore,” intended to be short, is now 58 pages and very clean with all illustrations. The cover is attached, should you wish to comment. I plan to set the price at $10 and offer a 50, 55 or 60 percent discount to booksellers. Ingram’s calculator says I get to keep $2.55, 2.05 or 1.55 per copy sold through their distribution. I’ll probably go with 60, unless someone convinces me I am an idiot. I plan to put out the paperback, hardcover, kindle and audio versions and website during July. My second book, "Our Universe,” is also 58 pages and very readable. I will do a bit more trimming then add things back until I hit 60 pages. Hopefully, this is out in August. One thing that delayed progress was working on my screenplay "16 Weeks to Love.” It finally earned a “recommend" from coverage services. See you'll at the Summit.
Day 2 of the Summit - Highlights!
What a day!! Who has a favorite takeaway from today's summit? :) I'll post a couple of video clips below.
