“If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.”
– Thomas Edison
The Book
The Tinderbox Tapes is the story of Michael Turner, a man who is asking the question, "Can we steer our lives in the direction of our dreams, or does life just happen to us?" His wife surprises him with 6 cassette tapes, originally recorded by his late father and given to Michael on his 9th birthday, just days before his father's death. As Michael listens to them for the first time 25 years later, he finds himself re-evaluating his priorities as he's faced with life-altering decisions.
Brian writes in the tradition of the late Og Mandino
(whose books have sold 50 million copies worldwide & been
translated into 25 languages) and current New York Times Bestselling
authors Andy Andrews (The Traveler's Gift, The Noticer) and Mitch Albom
(Tuesdays with Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven). "I believe
we all dream of creating a new world for ourselves and our family,"
Brian says, "It's part American Dream, part Divine Calling. All my life,
I've been encouraged by books that shaped my philosophy about creating
that new world. In fact, those works have driven me to join the ranks of
those authors in the hope I might encourage others in their journeys."
"In my 20 years training and managing salespeople," says Brian, "I was always struck by people's reaction to books. The greatest responses from my teams were always to the stories. Those nonfiction books that give us habits or laws are often enlightening in life-changing ways, but people who won't pick up those books will find themselves interested in a story, and in turn find enlightenment through that mechanism. Those are the people for whom I write."

You may have read that Brian's journey to publication has included joining the Indie Author movement. While it's the best business move, it does create some unique challenges for connecting personally with readers. When The Tinderbox Tapes releases in a couple of weeks, you'll be able to download the eBook version on Amazon (Kindle), Barnes & Noble (Nook) and Apple (iPad, iPhone, etc).
You'll be able to order the paper version from Amazon, too. And while it will be available for distribution through libraries and bookstores, the odds of finding one in an actual store are less than walking into that same store and finding a South African Legless Skink serving lattes.
And book signings are quickly becoming as outdated as sitting around the campfire with the village storyteller.
This has led some to ask, "How can I get a signed copy?" GREAT NEWS! We figured it out...
When you click the secure, PayPal "buy now" button below, you'll be asked for your name & shipping address. Brian will order books directly from the distributor, CreateSpace (an Amazon Company), sign them and ship them on to you. So please allow up to 3 weeks for delivery.
