Storytelling Made Me a Millionaire & a Bestselling Author
Stories Made Me a Millionaire
With my business, for 25 years, all of our sales literature and presentations were designed around stories of other people and personal stories so the potential buyer could relate. It took me three years to make my first million dollars after being bankrupt. Great training ground for a novelist.

Novels—Reading and Writing One
When I Slowed Down
After I graduated from West Point, I felt a little guilty if I weren’t reading about military history, leadership, or anything that might help me as an army officer. But I still read novels occasionally. (10 yrs)
When I Stopped
But when I left the military and was in the business world, I stopped reading novels almost completely. I only read business books, sales, marketing, joint ventures, raising money, etc. I even wrote a business/self-help book. I really felt reading a novel was a waste of time. Why? I wanted to be as successful as possible, and I felt even just one good idea from one business book, could have a huge impact. (25 yrs)

A New Novelist—Me
What an Experience?
I sat on the couch next to my wife and I started typing. About 2 months later I had the first draft of my first novel written, that was July 2017. That was very exciting. Kill Crime should be available in a couple of months, the first quarter of 2018. Plus I’m almost done with my second novel. Although I self-published my first book, One Million in the Bank: How To Make $1,000,000 With Your Own Business Even If You Have No Money Or Experience, I plan to see an agent and/or publisher for my novels. I plan to keep people posted here, as well as put some of the deleted scenes from my novels, and anything else I hope may be of interest to my readers.
