The Prepared Investor was born from my military experience where threatening situations typically caused unprepared people to panic, react instinctively instead of logically, and ultimately make poor decisions. Readers will recognize the natural pattern that occurs in the stock market as investors make irrational choices that are part of a basic instinctual response to major crisis. Overall, I was inspired to write this book because my team and I kept getting similar questions from clients all over the United States. “If there’s a terrorist attack, how will my portfolio do?” “What about my financial independence if the President gets us involved in a war?” “I know peace won’t last forever… something bad is going to happen. You’re my investment advisor. Are we ready for that?”

Know that you are not alone. You have a whole community that rallies around its aspiring writers on a regular basis. Attend a conference, get on social media, join a local writer's organization. You've got an amazing amount of support!

The best thing about being a writer is the feeling that you're making a difference. My book should change the conversation about how people invest during crisis. The second best thing about being a writer is the writer's community that exists at conferences and on social media. I love gathering there with fellow writers and other publishing professionals.

I give myself permission to write garbage. Just write... anything is allowed.

I'd go to Robert Girardi's depiction of New Orleans in Madeline's Ghost. There, I'd check out some of those out-of-the-way swamp bars. Thumbs up!
