    What's Your WHY

    What's Your WHY

    A question that I ask a lot of people is "Why do you do what you do?" Most of the time people get stuck and take some time before answering the question. I jump back in the conversation and ask... "Is it your passion? Is it because of the money? Or do you actually hate it and are just waiting for something better to come along?" Their final response is... "To be honest I just like the money." There's no problem doing things for money. Money is a necessity and I always encoura

    Start The Damn Thing

    "Excuses are like a**holes, everybody has one." - Someone smart The above quote might register with a lot of people I know. I know for sure it registers with me. We all get lazy sometimes and when it's time to start something we reach in our bag of excuses and pull out the first one we can find. "It's raining out so I'll start tomorrow." "I'll start my diet on the first of the month this monday." "I can't look for clients on social media because my phone is broke." We can get

    How To Become Known

    Around Christmas time I had an opportunity to read a wonderful book called KNOWN:The handbook for building and unleashing your personal brand in the digital age by Mark W. Schaefer. Mark is an author of six books that mostly talk about the new era of social media. In his books he helps people who have little knowledge of understanding social media and transforms their knowledge on the topic. His book KNOWN is the only book of his that I have read so far and in my opinion by f

    WHY I WROTE THIS NEW BOOK

    A lot of my readers might be wondering why I wrote this new book. I came up with an idea years ago that I wanted to write a series of books that take place in the city I was raised in. I've lived all over the world and Boston is still the most unique city that I've lived in. The people, sports and culture are just a couple of things that I love about the city. I really wouldn't want to be from anywhere else than this beautiful city. Most writers usually have a protagonist in

    Qaddafi's Point Guard

    October 1, 2013 was the release date for my first book 'Qaddafi's Point Guard'. It took a lot for me to put my life on display because I'm a very private person. The book has done a lot for my life. It was an opportunity to talk about my experiences in life, but most importantly I got to shine a light on the people that helped me throughout my rough time during the Libyan Civil War. It would've been selfish for me to not talk about those people and how they were courageous en

    Women Can Drive

    When I lived in the middle east I noticed something very unusual. I was watching the news and saw that in Saudi Arabia a woman got arrested for driving. I asked one of my teammates who happened to be from that country why are men only allowed to drive and his response was, "Women aren't allowed to drive". So I said, "Why not?" and he looked at me and laughed. This stuck with me for a couple of days and even brought it to the attention of one of my friends back home. So women

    Why Readers Are Important

    As the summer comes to a close I had a good amount of time to travel to a couple of different countries. One of the most important things I did this summer was to focus on reading a lot of other authors work. My personal favorites are John Grisham and Kate Moretti (they both might be tied for first). As fiction writers our minds have to be a bit twisted at times just to think of some of the shit we come up with. I mean a character in my book dies every other chapter (just kid

    Fan Appreciation

    It's important for me to take time every month to highlight one of my fans. A lot of authors don't believe in the 'ONE FAN AT A TIME' strategy but to me that's the most important thing for me in being an author. It takes a lot for one of my readers to sit and read a 200 plus page book which I hope they might like. These days people's attention spans are very short. I hear all the time that people don't take the time to read physical books anymore. In the era of fifteen second

    Appreciation

    One of the most important things in my life is appreciation. In the dictionary the word appreciation can be described as, recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something. To recognize the good qualities in someone is truly an amazing thing. You actually show that person that they are worth your recognition. In today's society of social media we tend to forget about simple things like telling someone thank you for a nice gesture or complimenting our sig

    Meet Author Julia Blake

    In this first installment of The Book Talk blog I reached out to author Julia Blake to talk about her life as an author and her current projects. Julia was born and raised in the lovely historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, where she still lives with her daughter. She has been writing ever since she was old enough to pick up a pen, writing plays for my friends to act out at break time. She attempted her first novel at age thirteen. Of course, due to her age and lack of exp
