One of the best books that I can't recommend enough is Endless Referrals by Bob Burg! I've added at least 10 other books that Bob Burg has referenced/quoted and not to mention the all the great website references. For example go to www.heidirichards.com and sign up for her e-zine entitled, "Writing for Dollars-How to Get Started"

Tell us about you, what are some interests/hobbies ?

I'm one of those people who is constantly reading! I can't seem to get enough information fast enough. I usually have 3-5 books going at any given time. I play acoustic guitar and sing. I've performed at coffee shops/pubs and truly enjoy sharing my music. Exercising is extremely important to me as without ones health everything else becomes irrelevant at a rapid pace.
