I am a marketing consultant at a nursing home. I hike in my free time. I live near the appalachian mountains. I have finished school. I have been working for a few years. I am busy with work. I do a lot of writing for my job, but not creatively. I get paid a decent wage. I like having a stable job. I live near the Appalachian Trail. I like reading.
I wore glasses as a kid. My mom is a librarian. My favorite color is green. I can only see the color green. I have one signed book, signed by my mother.  I have finished school. I am trying to get a career in book publishing. I am thinking of getting into import/export work with Colombia and Australia.I have travelled to Colombia and Australia. I like hiking. My mother wrote a book. I prefer reading to writing. I dislike paperwork. I would like to work as a publisher.
Have you decided on a good weekend for us to meet up and go hiking together? Yes. I was thinking that June 19 and 20 works for me. It's Father's day on Sunday, but I'm not planning anything special. Does that work for you? Yes, that definitely works for me. It's a plan! Do you still want to hit up the Appalachian Trail near my place like we discussed? You're welcome to my place for dinner after we've been hiking. That would be awesome! What can I bring? How about a nice bottle of wine? Then after dinner we can relax and talk about the trail and any new books you have read. If you'd like, I never say no to a bottle of wine to go with dinner! Thanks! Yeah that sounds awesome. A perfect way to wind down after the hike. Have you made any progress really with moving your career into book publishing? Yes, I've actually started to make some progress. I got listed with Bowker Books as a publishing company. Now I need to purchase ISBN numbers to go on the back of the books. At least it's a start. That's great to hear, I'm really glad you're making progress. Bowker Books? I've never heard of them. I know if you publish on Amazon / Kindle KDP you get free ISBN numbers for your titles. That 's probably true. I'm hoping that I haven't bitten off more than I can handle. But so far I haven't spent much money on it. I can't decide if if that's the best route or not.  I'm sure you'll be just fine, I know just how motivated you get when you put your mind to something. Don't doubt yourself! Maybe research both options and look at the pros and cons between the two. I will. I'm planning a trip to Australia in about six months from now. I'd like to look into products that I can sell here in the States that are unique. Things that the everyday person hasn't seen before. Australia? Wow. I'd love to be able to visit there one day. My brother used to live there for a few years in Melbourne and he said it was the best place ever. That actually sounds like such a good idea. I'm sure you'll be successful. Thanks. How are things going as a consultant? Do you have any challenges that come up in your line of work? I'm sure you must be very busy.
