I am currently working for a local CPA firm until our move to Kauai is complete. Yes, I know, I know… I’ve been writing about this for over a year. A house is in the escrow process, but until then, I wanted to stay busy and make a little money. […]
It is hard to be a writer and an accountant. I would love to leave accounting and taxation forever and be a well known author sitting on a beach and dreaming of my next book. I’ve written three – a trilogy and still waiting for success to arrive. Book 4 […]
