About me

My introduction to independent publishing came abruptly and with misfortune. In 2015, I was approached by the owner of a digital author lab with the prospect of assisting with the creation, launch, and marketing of a branding book. The owner of this fraudulent company convinced me I could create a unique book that would be valued and respected among business readers.

Once I learned that the woman I hired had no ability to or intention of delivering what I paid her thousands of dollars to accomplish, I became determined to finish writing and launching the book on my own. After months of meticulous work, Brand Identity Breakthrough became an Amazon bestseller in Public Relations and Sales for Small Business upon launch. It has now sold over 15,000 copies.

My early relative success inspired me to investigate what else could be done with nonfiction publishing for myself and other authors with important messages. Since then I've written and published seven of my own books (which have been translated into four languages) and have many more on the way. I've assisted in various aspects of production and publication on countless others from other authors.

I started Identity Publications to give a polished voice to people seeking an outlet for their unique perspectives on important topics. I've been able to draw on my experience of teaching and coaching around the world to help people craft and refine their messages in their first books. My background of education, sales, coaching, consulting, and writing puts me in a unique position to help prospective authors figure out what they are trying to say and the best way to say it. I can work with them to make their messages complete yet accessible to the target audience that will become their dedicated readers.
