"Tell stories." It's one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received. Stories inspire people to grow and expand their horizons. They entertain. They challenge. They comfort. Simply put, they make life much better.I 've been telling stories all my life -- working with adolescents, as a corporate training manager for Fortune 500 companies and as a college professor. Today I continue to tell stories. You'll find them in my nonfiction curriculum books and five award winning novels published through independent publishing houses.
