The Rugged Road Trip
©2022 Darren Brett Conrad
All Darren Conrad wanted to do was go to The Ohio State University.
He studied too little, drank too much, and did not always show up to class. But he did manage to graduate!
His career after college did not go as planned. Instead of working in the pharmaceutical industry, he became an entrepreneur! He started his own mattress company and created an unstoppable business process. After being sued by a competitor, he lost his company and could no longer work. With his future up in the air, he set out on the road with a few belongings and his loyal dog. This road trip became the foundation for THE RUGGED ROAD TRIP.
With metal over miles, a lot of zeal, sweat, and faith, Darren has changed the course of his own life, as well as many others.

Publish it and they will buy?
While modern-day authors wish SELLING AND PROMOTING A BOOK was this easy, this is rarely the case. BOOK SALES AND PROMOTIONS have less to do with where and how books are published but what the BOOK’S MESSAGE is and HOW VALUABLE a reader deems that message to be.
In other words, your book’s message will promote itself via your AUTHOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND WEB OF CONTACTS (OR LOYAL FAN BASE) which you establish and create not only BEFORE YOU LAUNCH YOUR BOOK, but also for YEARS TO COME!

Restored Heart and Soul
by Dave Bielecki
Hank Johnson is a bitter man. After losing his wife, Anne, to a long illness, he loses his faith. He becomes a creature of routine, spending his days visiting his wife’s grave site and hanging out with the “baker’s dozen,” a group of guys who gather at the local diner for breakfast and car talk. When Hank receives news from his estranged daughter that he is about to become “Grandpa Hank,” his best friend, Joe, talks him into selling his house in Bakersfield and heading back east. After Hank sets out on a cross-country odyssey in the old Dodge “hippie van” parked in his garage for years, he discovers that there’s more to traveling than following a double yellow line. Restored Heart & Soul is a heartwarming adventure of a broken old man in a broken old van, restored with God’s help and some unexpected kind hearts along the way.
