The Start of Something Big
This is a book Ana and I have been dreaming of writing for 17 years. It is our love letter to the world.
Bio
What I Do
I have a passion for great writing. Excellence is one of my most cherished core values.
The exquisite beauty of a powerful idea expressed in words, whether through a single sentence or a 700-page novel, is something that has stirred my soul since as long as I can remember.
So . . . What I do: I search out transformational ideas and stories and bring them to life in words.

The Love of a Dog

This Just In: Words Matter
11-19-12 | My friend Bob Burg and I share something in common: we really dislike it when people say things that just ain’t so. Especially in print, or from positions of influence where their words are liable to be passed on widely.
Diary of a Writer…
11-18-12 | Working on a piece about happiness and positive thinking. Today, have to write a section on rumination. Been thinking about it all day… Tomorrow: catastrophic thinking. Ohmigod, just occurred to me: what if I start, and my mind is a complete blank?!
