What's On Your Bookshelf?

What are you reading these days?

What books have you read that you could read over and over again?

I love books. Always have and always will.  As an author, I have a new appreciation and perspective about books.  When I go into a bookstore, I find that I look at the books differently now, then I did before. Books have been a big part of my professional and personal development journey. Books have connected me with people, and have formed the basis of many great conversations.

Recently I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Barry Eva on A Book and a Chat Radio.  We chatted about the process of writing a book, the learnings from the accidental author, and how we market our books.  I particularly enjoyed the conversation where we talked about how stories can impact people, connect them and change lives.
