Self-publishing is an affliction – you catch it from your readers<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Once you dive off the cliff of common sense and go free-fall with your first book, ideas keep popping up for other books. In my case, readers have suggested ideas for more books than I can easily write this year. <\/p>\n

Since I have yet to break even on my printing costs for Danger Quicksand – Have A Nice Day<\/a>, it might seem like sheer lunacy to be considering a second book in a series of unconventional guides to the world of work. Be that as it may, I am already beginning a move to place a second book, Who’s In Charge?<\/strong><\/span>, online in the next four months, as well as a CD of the first book.<\/p>\n

Here is a preview of the cover in its early stages:

Some of you may recognize David Currier’s sculpture from my earlier post, Business As Usual<\/a>.  He is helping me in the development of the cover design and we have already begun discussions about the possibility of a desk-sized version of this sculpture or an adaptation of this sculpture as originally suggested by Lloyd Lemons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome. If you have topics that should be included in this book, leave a comment or send me an email. About sixty-five percent of the book has already been written. There is plenty of room for more material.<\/p>\n

I will try to address the various themes in the book in future posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
