Profile

About Me and My Book:
Originally from Texas, I have lived and traveled in Turkey and Central Asia since 1979.

You can catch me in Istanbul at the Greenhouse bookstore which I own - the largest English language bookstore on the Asian side of this intercontinental city. Or you can catch me in print four times a week on the expat page of Today's Zaman, a Turkish newspaper published in English.

Many of my research papers on anthropology in the Turkish world have been published in journals. Kuperard commissioned me to write the Turkey edition of their Culture Smart series: a book approved by CNN Business Traveler. I also have a number of self-help books in English and Turkish.

Grab Your wallet and Pick up the Phone! (Marketing)

Book Marketing is so important! As an author, a bookseller and owner of a small publishing company I am challenged continually about marketing books. I find myself watching other ads for other products to get inspired. I noticed the other day that the local airline is changing their approach in marketing: Turkish Airlines (THY) is definitely working hard to expand and attract passengers, becoming very creati

Procrastination...Let's do it to-morrow!

“Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.”

Misunderstood

With computer keyboard and the possiblity of typos, do you always write what you thought you wrote?

Does the reader understand what you wrote in the way you intended them to?

There are plenty of opportunities for us to be excellent communicators, or poor communicators, as writers. And isn't the art of good writing to be a great communicator, to influence others, to educate, inspireor entertain them?

Well, it is even more difficult if you are not working in your native ton…

I love what you've done to your bookmarketing site. The music, the books and pictures of your staff is all inviting. Maybe you should also link to some of the things I've written about the importance and user-friendliness of the Greenhouse. Lots of people contact me about wisdom on moving to Turkey. I always recomment your book store. I wish it was here!

I send you greetings of peace and love from the rest of the family. They, like I, are always with you and never leave or forsake you. The angels and the rest of us want you to know how precious you are to us.

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

My goodness, what an interesting life you lead. From Texas to Istanbul. It will be fascinating learning more about you. Love the title of your book!

Thanks for adding me as your friend. I really can relate to what you said about "typos" Sometimes I type a word but another word is approved by the computer which is not what I intended. Thank the Lord or proff readers. Have a blessed day.
