If you’ve read my previous posts in this series you will know I was a sales representative for a publishing company in the UK during my early career – a road warrior as we were sometimes called. Most calls were to regular customers; mid-size to large bookstores. I visited each store every six weeks to […]

My iPhone warned me the other day it was running out of storage space; recently I had to add memory to my iMac. It got me thinking about the sheer amount of information we have on our electronic devices and the massive amount that must be stored around the world. Before you read on, take […]

As a writer, I realize not everyone is an expert on grammar – heck, I often fall foul of grammatical rules in my enthusiasm to say something in a certain way, or to elicit a specific emotion in my reader. There are a few things people say and write however, that drive me crazy, so […]

He realized that one of the biggest issues people have in this social-media-crazy world is being able to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for more and […]

I don’t know about you, but I never like leaving a message when I reach someone’s voicemail; I often hesitate and put the phone down, sometimes I’ll leave a message but wish I could change it – and occasionally my rambling becomes embarrassing.
