NONFICTION BOOK PROJECTS

When sales trainer, author, and speaker Catherine Brown published How Good Humans Sell, I edited her manuscript and managed production of her book from finished manuscript through the marketing launch and distribution.	I collaborated with local island restaurants to publish this souvenir cookbook that promotes tourism in Galveston, Texas.
When Ryan Shehan Racing wanted to show sponsors how to leverage motorsports marketing, we worked together to create this ebook.	This book includes 26 of the Acker family’s favorite mouthwatering dessert recipes.
After working with nonprofits for more than two decades, I wanted to challenge fundraising executives to adopt a marketing mindset to raise more money without adding more staff. The book includes bonuses valued at $92.	After an article I contributed to Texas Co-Op Power Magazine became their most searched article for more than two years running, I collaborated with Dr. Deb Tolman to publish the ultimate guide to keyhole gardening.
After camping and writing an article on Seminole Canyon State Historical Park in far west Texas, I became curious about what it took for prehistoric Texans to survive in what looks like a seriously inhospitable environment. This book captures my interviews with experts and reveals the lifeways who lived in the region more than 10,000 years ago.	I surveyed more than 400 veterinary professionals across the U.S. to create a user-friendly guide to pet first aid and disaster preparedness.
In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Liz Dominguez and I collaborated on this short book that was adopted as Texas’s official pet preparedness guide.	Blair Pittman was an avid caver, photographer, and conservationist. When he published his book, Texas Caves, I had the honor of contributing a chapter entitled, “State Park Caves.” RIP Blair!
