Maybe things are starting to turn around. I have just hired a girl as a Marketing and Distribution manager for my books, photos and other products.

She's a student at the community college where I taught for nearly 20 years. Her boyfriend was in one of my classes. She has already written and published as nice story about me and my work in the college newspaper.

Now, she can do the leg work while I keep the "seat of my pants firnly affixed to the seat of my chair." LOL (That's a quote from Sinclair Lewis, by the way, the first American novelist to win the Nobel Prize for literature)

This has been a tough year, but maybe...maybe...all this is about to turn around. Stay turned.

Thank you for your interest and support!

Alan
