My daughters asked me, “Dad, do you believe in ghosts and demons?” So, I told them this story. A real moment blended with some storytelling.
One of our eShort stories for Halloween. A 1,151-word hybrid story (nonfiction with a fiction piece embedded). A father’s story to his daughters about a strange new girl he had met in high school: “When your eyes met hers, she was looking deeper into you than you could ever see into her.”

It was a difficult decision to become a writer and make the transition. It took more than a year to come together. But I wrote and published my first book when I was 48. Since 2008, I’ve ghostwritten over 37 nonfiction and fiction books, written dozens of novellas, short stories and vignettes, and hundreds of essays, posts, and articles. Since 2009 (through my company Adducent), I’ve helped publish 80+authors and 94 titles (as of this writing).
This is a business book, and it’s about furthering your career (presumably—and naturally—that also means ‘make more money’ or ‘become more secure professionally’). Within this book, I use HELP as a means by which you discover how it—helping—is an excellent path to earning trust, and that is a cornerstone to better ‘selling.’ It is a guidebook for mid-career and experienced professionals to create a valuable network and develop new business opportunities (for themselves and the companies that employ them).
When business owners and professionals write or talk about their companies, several mistakes commonly weaken their story. Here are five critical errors to be aware of (and how to avoid or correct them).
Reflecting on my journey and experiences, I realize there is no roadmap to success. No road signs in life tell you which route to take. Discover your own. The good news is you can learn how to do just that. Reading this book will help you find the path leading to your version of success. –Brett Oubre
