Finally!
It’s only taken me eleven years to write the second book in the Stars Trilogy. Abigail, Matthew, Abby and Matt, who we met in The World is Decorated With Stars, were never far from my thoughts during the last eleven years. Let’s just say that the continuation of their stories had plenty of time to percolate. Why did it take me so long to write the next book in the trilogy? Short answer: life happens.
Times, they are a a-changin’
Like so many industries, publishing has changed dramatically in the last twenty years. My very first book followed a very different path than my newest book. I had an agent for my first book, which is non-fiction. I wrote an eighty-page book proposal as to why any...
Why bother to write a book at all? (It sounds like a LOT of work.)
I believe that we all have stories to tell. We’ve all lived a life and in doing so, have had experiences that are worth hearing about. Why? Because they connect us with each other. Think about any casual encounter you may have had, and during that encounter you...

Most of us fantasize about what it would be like to walk away from work.
Denice Kronau did it.
On the surface, Denice had it all: a great job as CEO of a $100 million company, offices in thirty countries, and travel around the world. However, her great job was killing her because she couldn’t keep work in perspective. She let it take over her life and was exhausted, overworked, overweight, and endlessly running on a hamster wheel.
When it became too much, she took an unpaid sabbatical and spent months regaining a sense of balance in her life. She explored what drove her to work in such a destructive way and discovered many insights about work. More importantly, she found what made her happy at work. In Falling in Love with Work, Denice shares many of these key elements, such as:
•We’re human beings, not human “doings.”
•Don’t feed the urgent while starving the important.
•It’s perfectly fine to “Find out what you don’t do well, and don’t do it” (to quote Alf, the 1980s TV character).
•Be happy, now. Don’t postpone happiness while waiting for a one-time event.
Denice Kronau is a veteran of corporate life. During her thirty-year career she has held positions of chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief diversity officer. She has worked for notable global companies such as Altria, Diageo PLC, and Siemens AG.
