- About Me and My Book:
- Hi,
I'm Mike. All of my working life I have been in the Entertainment Industry, the first 10 years as a professional Actor, and 20 years as Head of A&R for RCA Records and Pye Records (11 yrs RCA & 9 yrs Pye). For the past 14 years I have been running my own Entertainment Agency and Management Company. In 2001 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and received the oppropriate treatment, but have had to cut down on my workload, especially the late nights!!! When I started my Entertainment Agency there were no books available to help me, and nobody to turn to, just that well known double act 'trial & error'. I decided to correct this anomoly, and so 'Waiting in the wings' was born. 'Waiting in the wings' is a complete A to Z of the business. It covers such aspects as Setting up in business/Office requirements/Building an Act portfolio/Obtaining Clients/Current legislation/Contracts/ Case Histories and Useful Contacts. It is an invaluable source of reference for those would be Agents/Managers or Impresario's or those that look on in envy at the likes of Simon Cowell and think 'I could do that'. It is a 'must have' for anybody even contemplating entering the Entertainment Industry and, to the best of my knowledge, is the only book available on the subject. Take a look on my Publishers website - www.trafford.com -and just put in the book title in the search box.
Speak to you again soon.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
Where “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.

When I agreed to give up my divinity and be born in the flesh, I did so very willingly. I looked forward to the time when we, you and us, could all be together and share in everything that is. I looked forward to loving you, hugging you, comforting you and encouraging you so that, when your life gets tough, you will feel secure and supported enough to face whatever you have to face. I looked forward to being the one you could rely upon unconditionally for that strength, comfort and encouragement whenever and however you need it.
Not only that, I looked forward to sharing with you that we created you to love you, and that we so hoped and desired that you would love us back. We want you in our life, and we love it when you want us in yours. It was so exciting when I could turn to my disciples and expand our relationship to include friendship and true fellowship. I offer that friendship and fellowship to you today as well, and I look forward to your inviting me into your life in that way.
You can see there are many reasons why I came in the flesh so many years ago. There’s more! I also wanted to set you free from thoughts and behaviors that hurt you emotionally and spiritually. If you were hurt by people or experienced hard times in your life and lost things like your health, relationships, or your way of life because of disaster or unemployment, I wanted to give you the tips and tools as well as the encouragement to recover emotionally and spiritually from who or what hurt you so you could have the kind of life I want you to enjoy.
Most of you understand why I sacrificed my life for you and what an act of love that was. It is my hope that this letter will help you understand how very much more my life and ministry were to accomplish. I look forward to expanding our relationship now and forever.
Joyfully, Jesus
