Hello everyone! Every once in awhile, I find things that I have not previously shared.  Today, I found some videos where I was speaking during an Independent Authors Book Expo a few years ago in New Jersey.  I did some video clips for an author and she returned the favor.  I reviewed my adult version is entitled, Construction Tales: Volume I: A Woman's Journey to Become an Electrician.  My edited teen version is entitled, Construction Tales: A Young Person's Guide To Accomplish Anything In Life.  I felt like the book was too raw for young readers- I would be embarrassed if a kid read my adult version of the book.  I felt better by trying to remove cursing and nasty coworker antics.  The message of keep pressing on with your plan and not giving up is a strong message for young people.  It didn't initially occur to me that I should edit the book until after the initial release.  I then read the book in a recording studio and loaded it to #Audible.  If the teen version picks

Hello everyone! I wanted to share some videos that my son creatively came up to help market the book #ConstructionTales. My son Johnny is turning 16-years old in April. I just reminded him this week about the book promotional videos he created while I laughed behind the camera. He had forgotten about the majority of them. He cringed at his Officer Johnny video. I laugh at it each time and cherish them. He was about 9-10 years old at the time of the filming. It will be a video that we can all laugh at in the family when he gets even older in age. By then, they will become a treasured memory for him and his children. I am sure there will be a video played at his wedding in the future. He told me his inspiration for the creation of this video was from the YouTube channel Smosh. I will try to reach out to them to let them know it exists since it is very funny. Here is the <b><i>Officer Johnny</i></b> video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/I72MEm-9d7Q Here is a video, ca

  hello everyone! Melissa and I are reviewing some oddball documentaries that we have chosen to watch jointly then discuss. Once we are satisfied with our audio work in the Soundtrap studio, we will make it live for Spotify. I will then launch it onto YouTube as well. Here is a sample of the upcoming documentaries that we are going to review: Voyeur - A 2017 Netflix documentary that was directed by Myles Kane & Josh Koury, and produced by Impact Partners. This documentary reviews Gay Talese who investigates Gerald Foos- a Colorado motel owner who spies on his guest. We anticipate that this will be an interesting review. Rocco - A 2016 Netflix documentary that was directed by Alban Teurial & Thierry Demaiziere. The production company is Two to Tangle Productions- a rather interesting name. This documentary follows Rocco Siffredi as he shifts from a priest (his mother's request) to a porn star. Rocco has become to porn what Mike Tyson is to boxing; a living legend. T
