“Zeera’s mission on Earth is simple: get pregnanat and bring human genes back to rejuvenate her planter’s bloodlines. Her new world introduces passion and brilliance beyond her imagination. Soon she is struggling with questions of loyalty, betrayal and the most disturbing question of all: Who has the right to decide who lives and who dies.”This is a very well written book. It’s one of those you can sit by a cozy fire with a cup of tea and just enjoy reading. There are quite a few insights which I talk about in my interview with the author, Mary Dombach. We also talk about why and who she chose as her publisher and what that entailed. We were all over the place on this one… talking books, talking THIS book… This was a fun interview for me.I hope you enjoy it as well.

Another wonderful interview with another great author. Roger and I talk about his journey to becoming an author, how he came up with the title, and the publishing process. Then we talked about content. I’ve read quite a few books on Neuro-Linguistic Programming yet, never had it explained as well as Roger explained it to me. We spoke a lot about communication and how words are used which is a very fitting topic for anyone who wishes to write, coach and communicate effectively. This was a very fun interview for me. I think you’ll enjoy listening to Roger share his knowledge about his work and his passion.
