Thanks John. Hope we can be of help.
With a wide client base (Corporate to Simple One Man businesses) we are always on the look out for “tools” that can help us get the Right Message out. Being able to communicate “correctly” (short an to the point) not only reflecting “status” but “culture” is a huge challenge. A good portion of our portfolio is english as a 2nd (or 3rd) language. I constantly have to be aware of the audience I’m speaking to. Look forward to following this site and perhaps learn some important keys, ones I may know but never took seriously.
Glad to hear Roseburg Book and Stationery is doing well. We’re finishing up Words to the Rescue 2 right now. It is scheduled for release June 1.
We purchased your book during the CHA show and only have 4 left, so I am very interested in ordering more, but I was thinking you said you were coming out with a new one, so I would be interested. Please let me know!
Thank you,
Janice Quist
Hi Karen: Thanks for your note and interest in Words to the Rescue: the sentiment guide for the tongue tied. I’d be happy to set up a presentation for the Wixom library. December sounds great. I will call you the week of July 26th to set up the details. — Steve
Hi Steve,
You dropped into our library several months ago to introduce yourself and your book. I believe Karla and I were both at the Adult Reference desk and we had a little chat. I am in the process of doing our fall lineup for programming and I wondered if you would like to do a program here at the library that would entail talking a little about the book and selling some copies. We are thinking of perhaps very early in Dec. – close to Christmas, as this book would make a nice little gift to give.
You can contact me at 248-624-2512 or email me at the above address. Looking forward to talking to you,
Karin Caporale
Adult Services Librarian

Hey Jim: how cool to hear from ya. Zack in college? Woa…congrats. I’m loving being an entrepreneur. Left big agency life (nice way to say lay off) two years ago, now I’m going it on my own as author, publisher, web site marketer. I am not surprised you’re thriving in your two-story office tower, Mr. boss-all-day. Let’s reconnect soon.
Hey, This site is awesome. Hope things going well with you. We’re still here and busy as ever. I’m doing lots of photography, brochure work, some light video production, packaging, and have partnered with Cheryl Johnson (Tracy’s old office room mate) on a line of humorous tee shirts. Lots of fun.
Kids are getting all grown up. Zach will start his first year a Central this Fall. Send money Ha Ha.
Give me the full update, lots of detail.
