Take the Opportunity (Post #17)

"Success is about taking advantage of opportunity." - Mike Ditka, N/A date

Short and sweet. Took advantage of an opportunity and up to the last minute the night before, I was not even sure I could make it. I did and I sold 7 books! Yahoo!!!

To follow-up with my "Trust the Process" (Post #16), I have now not only exceeded my remaining goal of 6 books (22 books) but have surpassed it by FOUR BOOKS (26 books)! God is good! My readers are amazing! Getting the word out about these books and getting the world exposed to this little-known piece of history in the 1500s Netherlands, that shaped the world as we know it, is a true joy! Meeting my readers and talking history with them is right up there with the joy of writing these books!

Thank you for being my readers!

 “Have a bit of naive in you still, boy?” Marcus asked, adding, “Coin is the currency of this world, and a man needs to make a living somehow. You best wise up to that fact sooner than later. You are no longer a boy, but a man. Best start acting like one and get any foolish thoughts of righteous crusades to avenge your family’s murder out of your mind. Those fairy tales have gotten many a foolish man killed I tell you!”
