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.

Put Your Good Stuff Up Front
12-11-08 | I was on the phone today with an author. We’re writing a book together. His original outline was structured in two parts: Part I taught a set of laws, and was called “Principles.” Part II was called “Practices.” Aha, there was the problem right there: thinking that people would actually read Part II. They won’t.
Work It, Baby
11-26-08 | This week Alabama blogger Mark Clement posted a brief and very nice review of The Go-Giver. (BTW, so did MJ DeMarco’s well-read blog “The FastLane to Millions.”) As I scrolled through Mark’s most recent few entries, I noticed the one below, and just had to pass it on.
Mendelssohn’s Dairy
10-30-08 | I’m working on the transcript of an interview I conducted with Bob Burg, for a story in a forthcoming edition of Networking Times. At one point, talking about maintaining the proper mental posture while asking for referrals, Bob says, “In a very posturized, non-threatening way, you’ve let this person know what you’d like . . .”
Love and Residual
10-15-08 | A few weeks ago, I got a check in the mail for $404.79. But before I tell you what it was for, I have to digress. It has to do with my dad.
