One of the key secrets to my success was my passion for writing. Over the next four decades, I wrote a series of business books that helped build not only our business brand but also my personal reputation. Some of the titles I crafted include “Marketing Corporate Image,” “Leveraging the Corporate Brand,” “Branding Across Borders,” “The Best of Branding,” and “Powerhouse, the Secrets of Corporate Branding.”
After successfully exiting the business, I embarked on a new journey – writing fiction. I quickly discovered that my favorite genre was short reads in the form of novellas. Drawing upon my extensive business experiences, personal life, and current events, I craft stories that can be enjoyed in just one sitting, whether it’s an evening at home or a cross-country flight.

Read Reviews by My Readers
The main thing I liked about this book is its a rich feed. The characters are beautifully developed and engaging. I was, hooked early and drawn in as this tale progressed. The author artfully wove in just enough about the amazingly subtle innovation of vision-based corporate branding to alert the reader to the sea changes it caused in industries across the globe and provided a healthy dose of some of the drama resulting from it.

A delightful and insightful page turner!This book is aimed at businesses that are past the embryonic stage but not already staffed with a bunch of MBAs (although a lot of MBAs could benefit from its plain explanation of the topic). The key to message is that the company must walk the talk over an extended period and in all of its various facets if the brand is to coalesce and stick. i tend to look at these books from the perspective of a very small business and I found this one to be very useful because it is so free of babble-speak.
