really, no prints!

ebooks are the new way of promoting your books if you're strapped for cash!

Diary of a Mad Ex-Diabetic is a great example!

No paper, only electronic reading online and you're still considered an Author!

maybe your book next time?

It could have been your book that we read from on Valentine's Day!
So, let's get busy and make it happen!
Check out Comedian Tony Scofield with Videographer/Host Tony Hogues!

be sure and include this in your book!

If you're still writing your book, then be sure and include some new Chicago History!
 As a matter of fact, whether you know it or not, you are making history, simply because you are alive!

If you're living in Chicago, then it would serve you well to follow in the footsteps of someone who didn't grow up privileged!  Someone who didn't grown up with a silver spoon in their mouth, and didn't shop on the Magnificent Mile, Michigan Ave! (although he can now!)

He made a name for himself and has been sharing the wealth for the last 30 plus years!
Vote for a man who's got your back!

Put your money where your mouth is! In your VOTE!

BE an INDEPENDENT Thinker!
Vote INDEPENDENT!

 A man of God, is running for Mayor during your lifetime!
Who knows who will read it!

 May even want to make a movie of it! So, what are you waiting for?

Remember Ron Howard from Happy Days sitcom?

aka Opie?
