My most recent book is "Create Your Own Job Security: Plan to Start Your Own Business at Midlife."

My book has step-by-step instructions on ;how to arrive at work that you enjoy so much that you would do it for nothing, and derive significant income from it. I speak on the topics of Geologic Hazards and How to Avoid Them, Starting your Own Business, Finding the Creative People in Your Corporation or Country and How to Find a Business that You Love that Will Also Produce Income.
