But hey, I'm not a publisher, just a grunt author. Not sure I have a genre box…

Since I've decided to retire, I'm finding I work more hours than I did when I was a corporate hostage. The good news is what I do is not work, and I'll always be on top of myself because you cannot downsize a team of one. The only organics I can hug and pet are the cats, and they will not report me to HR...as long as there are plenty of treats. Here's a short bio I've been using on the books. (more…)

Living in Learning by HPO

After one Chapter 11 fiasco and three Reduction-in-Force events in the last 10 years, I’ve decided it’s time to join the “gig economy” as a Human Performance Outfitter.

Having personally made the ascent several times there are tips, techniques, skills, tools, and maps necessary to guide you to the summit…
