About Me - Personally
Greetings!

My life centers on my wife, Julie and my daughter, Amanda.

I am a fourth generation Colorado native and enjoy the state’s recreational opportunities, as well as studying its geology and history.

.
About Me - Professionally
.

My background is in business and nonprofit management.

I had the fortunate opportunity to be involved in Small Publishers Association (SPAN) as a former director and want to thank all of the terrific members, partners and sponsors who supported the organization during my tenure.

I believe that this nonprofit organization offers resources that help its members succeed in accomplishing their publishing goals, and encourage anyone interested in learning about the independent publishing industry to become an active member of SPAN.

As I pursue my future business and nonprofit managerial opportunities, I intend to continue to be involved in this organization, both as a member and volunteer; so, please do not hesitate to email through SPANnet mail as I will be checking it often.

Or, feel free to contact me on the following social media platforms:

Best wishes and highest regards to you all,

I'd like to believe that content is king and I think that all the seamless integration of Amazon's digital services is what will make Kindle Fire succeed. But I also have high hopes for B&N's new Nook tablet, which will come out…

  FYI, FYI ...   The analyst material that I'm reading this morning is actually suggesting the Fire is a Nook-killer and not an iPad killer. I think that assessment is more reasonable than iPad-killer, and that puts the Nook on a path…

Hello Brad.  Sorry it took some time to get back with you.  I'm out of town back and forth for the next couple of months without available internet access. 

I love this site for not only the information and help that authors & publishers can receive, but also the interaction and friendships that are developed.   I am proud to be a spanpro member. 

Here is the update on an "An Angel for Joey" which changes the release date to May - unfortunately, and the reasons are as follows:  MS progression and having to be put on new medication to slow the progression, and then on top of everything, my computer crashed, and everything with it.  It's been a bad month.  Luckily, I have an exterior hard drive, and ended up having to buy another computer.   I lost some of my images and data which includes some parts of "An Angel for Joey" and some of the book had to be redone before being submitted to the printers.   I'm happy to say I actually feel more pumped up and ready to start promotions with local bookstores, web ads, etc, plus my new  website is being worked on.  So everything is moving forward.  Plus, getting ready to release another book for this summer titled "The Little Sunflower Named Tib."    I've started working on a series "Paintings by Ruth" demonstrating works of art.  At the end of November, I will be releasing "Gracie, A Little Gray Donkey" which is a children's book for christmas.  I am also writing a book titled "Sea of Forgiveness" which is a true story that will grip readers everywhere. 

Think I'm a little busy?  I think so.  I look forward to learning and collaborating more in spanpro working with the best of the best. 

Have a great week.

Thanks for your email, Brad. I know Joel, and was happy to find out about the discussion here. I haven't been active enough on the site.

 

My How to Blog a Book proposal is out with Writer's Digest, but they haven't gotten back to my agent. I'm getting antsy...may just self-publish. I'm a traditional publishing holdout thinking I might just have to go indie. I know a lot because I write about the industry and have been very involved with the San Francisco Writer's Conference for years, but I haven't done it myself. I've got short books I've self-published and five blogs...time to take things into my own hands on a bigger scale, I think.

 

Thanks again for reaching out.

 

Nina

Brad, I know this will be a big change for SPAN, but no one could be better prepared to take the reins from Scott than you are. Congratulations, and good luck. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
