Daniel Meier Author

On a refreshingly cool summer evening in North Carolina, a hog farmer was stunned, then horrified when a light airplane crashed into his hog pens and erupted into flames.

The ensuing FAA investigation convinced the small town that the crash was an accident. Except for one person. Ted Grant was an academic colleague and good friend of Dr. David Lanmore', and Ted knew that Dr. Lanmore had just discovered a cure for cancer.

The last place Frank Adams wanted to investigate an airplane accident was in his hometown of Scottsville, North Carolina. Though his parents were no longer living, Clayton Housley, his uncle, wielded significant influence over the town and surrounding areas as if it were his own fiefdom.

But Ted Grant's call was urgent and disturbing. Apparently S&H Pharmaceuticals had discovered Dr. Lanmore's secret and would go to any lengths to acquire the research. But would they kill for it? And if Frank meddled in the town's business, would his life be in danger?

"I’m an author. Now what?" A new online source answers that question.

The biggest challenge for book authors is transitioning from being a writer to being an author. They may sound like the same thing, but they are two totally different occupations.

Many first-time authors have the mindset that once they are published, their publisher handles all marketing, and the sales come in like magic. In today’s world, that is not reality… no matter how you are published. In order to be successful, you have to take an active role in promoting your book (and yourself).
