Trust me, if I had the money to produce it myself, I would be out looking for cast and crew instead of a producer. I look forward to one day having that luxury.

Debbie, that's fantastic! You sound quite similar to me. I am also great at social media, transmedia, and I guess that all tends to be a part of PR. I don't have any books published yet. I'm still wor...

Jacques DuLong -That's great that you are in Manhattan Beach! We are neighbors! I'll definitely check out your link. We should chat over coffee sometime, we're so close in proximity to one another!

Sonyo Estavillo

Kevin Doy Burton- It's all about networking! Glad you reached out to me. How is Wisconsin? I think it's great that there are so many people on here from all over. Just keep writing and keep networking!
