Have you ever passed a small park between buildings and wondered? What's that? Who built it? What's its name? Pocket parks began in New York City as an answer to providing green space in a tangle of concrete buildings. The first was built around 1965 and they have been springing up ever since. BE...

BEST Pocket Parks of NYC

In honor of July 4th, I am lowering the cost of the Kindle and paperback versions of BEST Pocket Parks of NYC through the end of July. I think July is the perfect month to explore the city I love, so I decided to almost give the book away! (Link below.)

If your plans include a visit to New York City, consider visiting one of my favorites – Tudor City Greens. There are actually two parks that straddle 42nd Street. Head East on 42nd Street until you get to a stone stairway on either side. The stairs will lead you up to Tudor City where you can explore the parks and get a great view of the United Nations at the very end of the street.

For other locations, you’ll just have to buy the book!

Enjoy your summer,
Ro.

I was lucky. My grandfather, Jack, was a natural storyteller. As a matter of fact, he made a career of it, and I ended up following in his footsteps. He became a sought-after sportscaster, doing many...

Hi everyone. I need help spreading the word about the new addition to my business. I was in a session with Ted Lasser who helped us move along our businesses by giving us ideas and having the class share their information and experience. It was as if a lightbulb went off when I heard a nurse say she kept a journal during her Iraq deployment. As a result, I am writing veterans' stories for their family and friends. If they want to go to publication for the bigger world, I'll help them do that, too, but this is meant to create a simple paperback they can pass down to their family.

So many people kept journals that they have not shared and some have not even looked at them since they wrote them. I'm still structuring the business, but I have a plan forming that includes price, how many hours of interviewing if they do not have anything written, and I'm working on figuring out how to fund this to get as many of the elderly veterans' stories onto the page for their families. If I could do it for free, I would, but I need to make a living.

If anyone has any ideas at all, or if you want to purchase my services, please get in touch. I want to do this the best way possible for all involved, but I know how to write well, I know how to format and publish using print-on-demand services (I've done it for my 3 books), and I want to help the veteran community. Funding, sponsorship and speaking venue ideas are also welcome.

BTW, you may see some of this info on my other groups because I want to spread the word far and wide. Feel free to share.

Thank you!
