Hello everyone,
My name is Xavier. I'm a reader...
(Hello Xavier)
I don't only read, I also write. I love one as much as the other, especially the latter.
I read mostly things that help me grow and be better at what I do. But I also enjoy fiction, as long as the plot seems credible, the action moves fast, it shows rather than tells and the vocabulary isn't gratuitously vulgar.
I write different kind of things. In number of publications, hands down I wrote mostly business articles and PR releases. In terms of volume of pages written, I would have to say it is novels. I also wrote some type of biography and a memoire. But my crowning achievement and most time, attention and research spent has to be attributed to inspirational book to achieving success and happiness: 'Our X Factor', which subtitle is none other than "The Power to Achieve--Every Day--Success and Happiness."
Let me be frank, I'm here today chiefly to create awareness about my new book that was released about a month ago and of which the Press Release officially hits the news stands sometime later today, Friday, August 29th. To celebrate this momentous occasion, I am offering through BookDaily.com a special promotion (limited to 50 signed copies), valid only through the end of the labor day weekend. Please, check on BookDaily for excerpts, my profile, book description and the promo offer, as well as where you can take advantage of this one time offer.
To redeem myself for my shameless act of self-promotion, however, I make myself available to all of you to discuss literature and to help new authors, or people wanting to write their book, with support and information pertaining to your goals (ideas, feedback, discuss process, suggestions for publication, etc.). I enjoy books, ideas, stories, language, expression, the art--the whole medium--and I love to help people love, write or read books and anything literature. I make no excuses, that is how I create time to do many things and be available to others. The only thing I would ask in exchange, is that you don't make excuses either. Respect my time and I will take your plans and your writing seriously. If not, I suggest you adjust your expectations because in this industry you won't find many people generous with their time.
It is a true pleasure to join this forum. I look forward to making many new friends.
Cheers, much success and happiness to all and I hope to see you at a book fair, a forum or wherever else interesting people with interesting ideas gather.
