My New Book

Now Available, My Sister’s Story:

You can purchase Is Everybody Happy? on Amazon here.


My First Book

My first book of many, “The In-Between Artist”, was inspired by my mom about twelve years ago, before she passed. She gave me boxes full of notes, and many scrapbooks from her garage, that my dad had accumulated since 1932. She said I might want to complete my father’s biography someday. I finally did. It took five years and what a great filling it was! I really got to know my father through writing this biography. Also, it was a great feeling, to know that my four sons were really able to get to know their grandfather, as well as all his accomplishments.

The book is available on Amazon, which can be purchased here.

Learning how to reach the mentally ill

Find a spot where ther are not delusional, and try to calm them down. It can be over lunch breakfast or dinner. They have to feel safe , and they have to trust you. Schizophrenic people feel safe in a somewhat dark room sometiimes or when they are doing something they enjoy like painting a picture, or playing a musical instrument. it has worked for me, try it in your world, and the comminication will come!

Do you want to close up to 90% plus of the sales presentations you make?

I have listened to over a thousand motivational tapes in my sales career. The biggest key to closing a big sale, is to always remember and practice the following:
If you give people what they want, you will alwasys get what you want. I live by this statement. You have to listen well, before you figure out what it is that they really want. This was a quote by Zig Ziglar, who was one of the greatest motivational speakers of all time. I will never forget it .After 30 plus years of being an award winning sales person, at the top of my industry in sales, It is a very eesy thing to remember, and most of the you will be able to close 90% of those big deals, which will result in larger pay checks.

Internaitonal Peace Day

Well, today is International Peace Day. What does it mean to you?
To me isit means a day that there will be peace in the World we live in. But to have it, everyone on this earth, has to clean uo to cleanup their brain,.and meditate , and appreciate everything around you. Try to make sure you make sure you have a peaceful day and try to get along with eveyone you run across this particular day. I love to write my books, when I am a peaceful quiet place, so I you can share what I am thinking in my inner mind with the world, and hopefully, help tham make their life better and find peace themselves, after they read my stories. In other words I want to give them a better understanding of the world we live in, in general,, and a better undertanding of the mentally ill out there. My special place to find peace in my life, is up in Crestline, California, when I can walk around the lake, (Lake Gregory), and kind of zone out. Where do you find peace.? Thank you God for peace, and thank all the soldiers that fight for our liberty, and help keep peace in this world. we live in.

Guadalajara Book Signing

Wow! What a great week, in Guadalajara, Mexico, where I was asked to do a book signing for “The In-Between Artist”.

People came from all over the world. It was a great success!

What was really great about it was, not only meeting people and fans from all over the world, but I had the opportunity to tour Guadalajara. It is a beautiful place. I recommend everyone would enjoy visiting.The food was great and the scenery was fantastic in so many ways.

There was a lot of interest in my book. I also had a 15 minute interview at the booth, taken by a major representative of a major station in Mexico. I was able to have a translator as well. It was such a pleasure to meet many of the top of literary agents and publishers from all over the world.

The trip was a lot of fun! I had some photos taken I would like to share with all of you.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Everyone will enjoy reading this book at some point in their lifetime, including my family. Stay tuned!
It most likely will take 6 to 8 months before publication. It could be sooner. There is a lot that goes into writing a book.”The In-Between Artist” my first book, took about 6 months, so most likely it will be out by July or August 2022 . In the meantime, I hope all of you have a Happy Thanksgiving! I am now working on my third book. This one will also be a big surprise! It is a book I have been thinking about writing my entire life, and it will be helpful to anyone who reads it in so many ways!
