"Can I pick your brain?" That's usually how it starts. Many aspiring authors have asked me the burning question over the past 10 years as an independent publisher. During those conversations, I offered my expertise, knowledge, tips, and lessons I've learned along the way. Sometimes their "brain pickers" are surface and easy to answer. Other times, they are more complicated and may require a few tools to find a resolution. For the first time ever, I'm putting it all out on the table. Can I Pick Your Brain? explores everything from marketing misconceptions to proven writing methods and a recount of the various client experiences I've had as a publisher. Do you need practical tips on how to start your book and see it through to the publishing finish line? Here's your chance to pick my brain for an intimate how-to guide filled with true stories, a-ha moments, and practical applications.

Love is a gamble. Both parties are vulnaerable, once they expose their hearts, in the hope that they will not be hurt as they attempt to travel together through this unforeseen journey.
