In 1994 I published my first book, Almost 1826 Things That You Ought To Know About Texas But Probably Don’t.  It was a quick read with short stories, facts and fiction about our wonderful state.  The book is currently out of print but it is my intention to publish an updated version in the near future. In 2002 I created a regional gift basket business which I operated until I sold the business in 2008.  In 2004 the Wall Street Journal chose the company as one of five best regional gift basket companies in the USA at the time.  During that six years I learned a lot about the business and decided to write a book about this particular niche market in the gift basket world.  Start Your Own Regional Gift Basket Business:  A Home-Based Business With National Customers will help anyone who wants to start a regional gift basket business or even improve on any type of gift basket business.  The book is available in print through Amazon and in e-book format for the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo and also available through the Apple IBooks store. Currently I am working on a new Texas trivia book that should be out in the spring.
