This series of blog posts have to do with a personal journey that began in 1998. Just so I don't forget the story, I decided to have a series of posts. While these posts don't deal directly with leadership or sage-ing, they do deal with living and life–the frustrations and challenges–the thrills and excitement.
While I did not invent this statement, I have found that "the harder I work the luckier I get." The story is about hard work and luck. It is about being persistent and hanging in there. But I think there are lessons to be learned about cross-cultural research, writing, analyzing data, contacting publishers, surviving rejection … Thanks for reading and listening.
I am writing a series of posts so that the story does not get too long in any one post. This is the story of how my book with Dr. George Ann Huck came to be and how it is finally going to be published by McFarland Publishing late fall 2009.


I look forward to hearing the story! And congrats on the book!!!
Thanks. It has been a long process that includes some great stories. So as I was telling a friend of mine some of the stories she said to write them down. So why not blog about them? This way if something happens to me the stories are out there to live on. I will be interested in what you think about the stories. Thanks for reading. Jann
