Man at 50 – A Journey of Crisis, Revelation and Survival is my Autobiography, my story of a life filled with fear, sexual identity questions and codependency. I lived a life of a child for the 1st 50 years of my life. My life changed dramatically after I decided my life had to change and the time had come for me to step up to Manhood!
I self published my 1st book with the help of Outskirts Press. I submitted my manuscript to them and they walked me thru the process to bring it to market. It is available for purchase on my website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and thru bookstores everywhere.
When I was writing, about 10 hours a week in between working full time. I wrote on my days off, but did not have a set writing schedule.
I named my character Robert in my book. I gave all other people involved in my life fictitious names and I used a pen name – S. Richard.
I have a co-authored book coming out in the Fall of 2020 & I have a manuscript started for my second book, which will be a self help book, hopefully published end of 2020 or early 2021.
Mostly through Twitter & LinkedIn, also through interviews I have given on Podcasts and Radio Shows. I have reviews from Goodreads and from other Authors. Good ones help me stay focused on my mission and so far I have not had any bad ones!
Audio! So many things to do with my business, full time job, family and life’s challenges, audio is the best way for me to learn and grow from the words of others.
I have so many, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins and my friend Corey Poirier, author of the book: The Book of Why & How!
I believe that audio/video and online content will explode over the next few years and that people will be consuming content like air, personal growth will expand & learning will become second nature. People crave other people’s stories, they want to hear more, do more and learn more than ever before.
Just empty your mind, heart and soul onto paper, clean it up later and do not let anyone tell you your story isn’t good enough, we all have a story in us! The Saddest Story, Is the One Never Told! Don’t keep it inside, share and know this, there will always be someone who will gain, benefit or be touched by your words, don’t let them down!
