For over 25 years I've had the privilege of running what one of my clients called a "dream business." He meant that the essence of my professional practice involves helping others fulfill the dream of writing and publishing their nonfiction books. And like a seasoned ghostwriter or "ghost editor," I help my clients' work attract attention while I stay invisible. Although most of my writing life goes on behind the scenes, I've coauthored several books, too.

News about The Oxygen Revolution

     Our updated edition includes new information about Dr. Harch’s clinical work and research with returning veterans who have sustained brain injuries. In January of 2012, Dr. Harch was among those asked to join First Lady Michelle Obama in Richmond, Virginia, where she announced a new program designed to address traumatic brain injuries (TBI) sustained by those who have fought in the wars in the Middle East. Dr. Harch’s research has demonstrated the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for patients suffering the effects of TBI, including post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

Updates on Coauthored Books

     My coauthor, Wendy Kirkland, is a great example of an expert who wrote a book that changed her career focus—and that changed her life. She still successfully trades options, but Wendy also wrote two new books and now has a subscription-only newsletter. This development came about because readers of our book asked for more. I congratulate her for making a published book work for her in such powerful ways. You can sign up for our free newsletter at www.womenoptiontraders.com. You’ll find information about Wendy’s short strategy books and newsletters at the following websites: http://www.P3System.com and http://www.T3OptionTrading.com.  

    Meanwhile, my coauthor Greg Risberg continues to sell 52 Bright Ideas to Bring More Humor, Hugs, and Hope into Your Life. It’s sold well at Greg’s talks, and we’re gratified that readers call it fun and inspiring, which is what we hoped for.

Editor, Coach, and Book Proposal Consultant

     I especially enjoy my work as an editor and writing coach, along with helping my clients develop their manuscripts and produce effective book proposal packages.

     Virginia helped me create my book proposal and within one week I landed my dream agent, and a few days ago I signed a contract with a publisher high on my dream list! This was possible because Virginia gently guided me through the process of reworking my proposal into a focused, powerful, and convincing piece. I couldn’t be happier.
