Dedication
I dedicate Seeds of
Disaster to project managers, particularly in Corporate America where I
learned the ropes, but also across the world, by paraphrasing Samuel Johnson, in
the preface to his Dictionary:
"It is the fate of those who dwell at the lower employments of life, to be
rather driven by the fear of evil, than attracted by the prospect of good; to be
exposed to censure, without hope of praise; to be disgraced by miscarriage, or
punished for neglect, where success would have been without applause, and
diligence without reward.
"Among these unhappy mortals is the [project manager]."
Presentation
Birthing any novel
from my mind into yours through the sometimes
narrow, sometimes wide channel of your natural skepticism is a daunting task for
both of us. We have to synchronize your receptors with the right perspective of
my work, so I offer several of those, all presented with a special theme
benefiting the different world SoD takes you to:
 | For those who do judge a book by its cover, click on the "thumbnail" above. |
| For those who dive right into the words, read the sample chapters |
| For those who like to sniff around first, I include a couple of different blurbs. |
| For those who want to start with the story, I offer the synopsis. |
| For those who categorize, sort, and differentiate, I give you an index. |
| For those who prefer to know the lingo before reading, check out the glossary |
| For those who prefer to read a little about the characters whose lives they'll be sharing for many enjoyable hours, check out the cast |
| For those who get intrigued with those who helped me get this enormous task done, try the acknowledgments |
| For those of you who want to go right for the brass ring, buy the book here |
Hey, what's with those names anyway?
