Question:
How long have you been writing?
I have published over ten books beginning in

It was
published by Xlbiris-Random House.
Question:
Tell our readers about this very first book. (For example: What was the inspiration for writing it, and
what was it about)?
My first
book was an expose on the insider industry of doling out government economic
incentives to companies in order to attract them from one community to another…
(Economic Development). It laid open the very behind the scene clandestine
operations of this boardroom closed door negotiation process, and I had over 50
elite industry insiders interviewed to share their thoughts about the positive
and negative of this process.

betrayed and many murdered so that the Church and the King of France could
obtain their precious treasury and secret discovery. But the secret and the treasure were never

in an Unpredictable Economy"- 2nd Edition
Last
question,
if someone comes across this article and reads it, what would you like to tell
them about why you think they should try reading your book or books?
Every American needs to understand what things
in America need to be changed and what things need to be restored and/or
improved upon. If you do not know what
is broken and why, and you cannot explain that to others with a simple and
factual description of how to fix such issues you cannot advocate
effectively. People will just label you
as another ranting activist. All of us (We the People) need to understand that
we are either part of the problem or part of the solution. My book is a great guide and simple written
tool to explain what changes we must make to preserve America as a capitalist
nation and not succumb or slowly slide into socialism. Everyone can and should have the opportunity
to participate in the American Dream, but without action now we will lose that
ability in the next few years. I want us
to all act collectively to make the changes that will rebuild the American
Dream for all of us not just the elite 2%.

Blog Writer's Note to Author: I can tell you have a lot to say. I have to admit that you have definitely given me a lot of food for thought. The American Dream often times feels like an unreachable illusion, but I have to admit that I haven't always done my part to try and fix what is broken. So I guess I am somewhat to blame, along with many others. I will definitely be checking out your books. Good luck with your writing and thanks for the interview.
