Be like Sherlock. Identify the real problem. Then you can solve it.
I’m an ex college and Univ. prof of English, theater, psychology, and communication. Acted as a Dean of Communications for years too. Former journalist and radio and TV writer, program creator, host, etc.
My non-fiction expertise and publishing is the self-dev field specializing in Self-Knowledge.
I have several short books on that subject on Amazon getting 4/5-star reviews. They have been unpromoted for some time. That's changing now.
I’ll have maybe 10 more coming in this series.
Those short books are sometimes taken from my much longer book WAY (Who Are You and What Are You Doing Here: The Way to Know Yourself and Get What you Want). That book also has two workbooks, one for the general reader and one for at-risk students and their frantic parents.
My fiction so far consists of five short stories which I am using as lead generators for my start EM list for fiction.
Following that, I have a novella, Murder in Moscow: The Oblast Court Trial; and a historical adventure novel set in 1660 during the French/Indian wars. Think the Canadian Alamo.
I’m married, have two children, five grandchildren, and a small Golden Doodle named Gracie who looks like a Poodle but knows she’s a Retriever.
I live in Waterloo in southern Ontario. Ex-Toronto and Caledon.
