I love peanut butter. I mean most people do, but I eat-it-out-of-the-jar-with-a-spoon love it. I also am one of those people who loves both math and reading and writing and has a constant right/left brain battle for control going on. Maybe some day, one of the sides will win. It is quite exhausting.

Outside In was my first novel. My second, the Investment Club is about five broken people who meet at a blackjack table and discover the greatest return comes from what you contribute to others. Hmm...blackjack and fiction? Sounds like the battle wages on.

Doug Cooper, Outside In

“t may not be the life you imagined, but it’s your life. You came here for a reason. Is it time for you to go and begin again?”
Doug Cooper, Outside In

“Yet hopefully things are different now, and I'm moving on to something better rather than attempting to suck more out of the same stale situation.”
Doug Cooper, Outside In

“Satisfaction is a powerful sleep aid, and after the day I had yesterday, how could I not be content? Uncertainty has returned to my life, and I welcome the possibilities.”
Doug Cooper, Outside In

“t may not be the life you imagined, but it’s your life. You came here for a reason. Is it time for you to go and begin again?”
Doug Cooper, Outside In
