Charlie's Treasures

 The Chronicles of Adrian Smith

 When The Force Isn't With You

 

Resources

I like to tell my son the secret to getting out of college is not knowing the answer, but knowing who has it.  Not a single word would have made it into print if it weren't for the help of a lot of these people.  Some of these sites I list as a source of information although I may not have used their services.  Please do your homework.  Your publishing needs are very specific to your project and what works for me may not work for you.  But, this is a good place to start.  If you know of someone who needs to be added to this list, please let me know.

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
