Writing a book is one thing. Getting it into your hands is a whole other beast. Convincing you it is worth your time and money is a challenge I have taken head on. I’ve never really been a salesman. I hate trying to convince people to buy things. However, when I am passionate about something and believe in it with all my heart, then it becomes a lot easier to talk to people about it. With my books, I’ve put a little bit of my soul in each one of them. The first book I ever published, “The Walk-On,” is all about me. It took a lot of courage to put all my feelings and emotions to paper and then have you read them. As a journalist, I am all about honesty, and so I bring truth to all my books. I think people appreciate that. “The Walk-On” won top prize is the Reader’s Favorite contest in the the Nonfiction Sports category, telling me that readers also appreciate honesty. In “The Man From KNEW News,” I open up about the ugly side of the TV industry – albeit in humorous fashion. “Tripp in Time” gave me the chance to flex my creative muscles with an exciting time-travel story. And now, “Unique Eats and Eateries in Kansas City” gives me the chance to share the wonderful stories and food from many local chefs. I am so proud with how this book turned out! The pictures pop off the page, every narrative is intriguing and interesting, and this love letter to Kansas City cuisine gives you the chance to learn more about all these great restaurants. So many people are using my book as a guide on where to go out to eat on weekends, trying to break their habit of going to the same places all the time. I spent 18 months researching and writing this book, and I am proud with how it turned out.

I decided early on I needed to be relentless in my marketing efforts. On average, it takes 5-10 exposures to a product before a person begins to think about buying it. I try to be creative in my social media posts, and every time I post I end up selling books while gaining visits to this website. I try not to post about my book every day. I try to pace it out, reminding you that my book is out there. THANK YOU to all who have bought my books. It is an absolute pleasure knowing you are reading and enjoying it.
