Hello folks. I have been living at Writer, Author, Reader, and Poet (WARP) speed. I moved from Southern California to Tucson, Arizona and finally feel like I am settling in. I reengaged in university studies to pursue advanced degrees and have written a new book on early childhood education. So yes, it's been WARP speed.

What's new in the hyper space of WARP speed and publishing? The "facilitated model" of publishing is gaining traction. That's where an independent press will put its name and reputation behind an author's work, but the author will participate in the expenses of publication and marketing. More and more presses are embracing this model or variations of it.

The writing and reading life is a fantastic journey and I will soon be adding many new reviews here on Goodreads. I am the kind of reader who shies away from what everybody else is doing and reading and I like to find rare gems that I believe are life-impacting and have underrated or hidden value that the vultures of market frenzy are overlooking.

So the books I will be sharing soon will be some real secret treasures that will enhance your appreciation of life and help you to enjoy the exploration of the universe at WARP speed.
