Do you know the difference between Perfect Bound, Case Laminate, or Dust Jack on Grey cloth, when it comes to books. Well at $80 a change, you had better figure it out.

My mom died of Cancer in 2004, and 6 years later, I have 3.5 years sober, and owed her an amends. Not the kind one can make in person though, but a living amends. As I was advised, a letter. For several reasons I document in the book it took me no less than 5…

After writing the rough draft from nothing, detailing the painful 32 year journey through an alcoholic family, watching my mother die of cancer over 5 years, and ultimately losing my mind for 6 months, you would think editing the book would be a breeze.

Wow, so this is my first bloggage activity, and I’ve yet to see how this process works, so for all I know I’m writing in the subject line right now. It’s been a long day, I’m an executive recruiter by day and a writer by night, but also trying to finish the editing, and ultimately…
