My books are my pride and joy. My first two books (not pictured), Atlóta and My Blackberry were published by iUniverse, way back when the fee to self-publish was only $158. Also (not pictured) is a family memoir I printed and distributed all 200-300 copies strictly to family. I've as well omitted several other books I've either retired or omitted to focus on my favorite work. The books pictured above are all published by OSAAT Entertainment, the publishing company I founded 2008.
