game hunter and guide, converted a series of seminars on self-esteem into a companion book, written an account of a
hellish remodeling project, written a novel of terrorism in the 21st century and edited the business lessons of a retired
Swiss executive learned over a lifetime, to name just a few. We have also ghosted published works by businessmen,

non-fiction. We also edit novels, rewriting as necessary.
