AUTHOR WITH SPARK

Self-determined Persistent Arsonist (of innovation and independence), Revolutionizing, Keeping It Real
& Kicking corporate ass!

America was built on self-determination - people that sought to better their life, their family, with persistence and hard work. We have been held hostage by corporations and politics that are motivated by greed and self-interest; they have repressed and controlled us, dictating what we should buy, how we should buy, and what we should spend. We need to ReIgnite and ReUnite America - and the "American Dream."

I am an arsonist (of innovation and independence). I am burning down the old school methods of publishing and blazing a new trail by taking responsibility for my career and not leaving it up to Publishers and Agents to tell me what to publish, when it will be published, and how much it will cost. Much like Madonna, U2, and Toby Keith have severed ties with their recording lables that didn't have the artist & consumers' best interest at heart, I'm choosing to take the road of innovation and independence, willfully igniting my dreams and ideas. 

I am revolutionizing by doing something that greedy corporations have forgotten about:  I am working with purpose and passion. I am collaborating with my readers. I call it "Fiction Innovation through Community Participation."

I will champion the ‘mom and pop’ small businesses that serve our communities with pride, dedication, and hard work, by selling the 8 Storms Brewing Series only at Mom and Pop Shops.  My books will feature local Mom and Pop shops, and real people. If you'd like a chance to be in the book, please click on the patriotic cupcake.








I'm committed to championing the Everyday American by keeping the cost affordable of 8 Storms Brewing at the direct selling price of 8.00 when purchased directly through my online store - and fans can read the story for free a month before it's published by going to www.eightstormsbrewing.com.  There will be a limited amount of copies printed, so not only will they be affordable, but someday, they will be collectors editions.

I will keep it real by being true to who I am. I'm quirky. I like to think I'm funny. I have a weakness for anything fried. I love to take pictures of food and American flags.I believe in a hand up, not a hand out. The Fountainhead is one of my favorite movies - along with It's a Wonderful Life.  One of my favorite quotes is; "You have enemies? Good. That means you stood up for something, sometime in your life."
Well. I'm standing up for my belief that American was built on the premise of Independence - and it's time to take it back - it's time we stop listening to the mainstream media, to the greedy corporations, and the self-indulgent politicians. It's time to start listening to the people that really matter, each other. If you're not interested in my work as an author, that's totally cool - but I do hope you'll take my message to heart and support your local Mom and Pop Shops. I hope you'll start taking back some of that power you gave away and begin to make your voice heard again.

I will kick corporate ass. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of corporations that I feel are pro-consumer - Amazon, Wegmans, Zappos, to Sprint. I will continue to support them and promote them for as long as they are consumer oriented and progressive. I will take advantage of technology, I will listen to my readers, I will constantly strive to be creative, to think outside the box, to entertain, and to prove that the American Dream is still obtainable for the everyday American.

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.” ~ Ayn Rand
