Blurb:
Diagnosed with advanced liver disease, coupled with a fracturing marriage, a father of three young girls knows there's no time to engage in anxiety or self-pity. Doug laughs between the tears as he pulls every ounce of courage possible to face the biggest tests of his life.
In the chaos of fighting the sneaky, methodical liver disease that threatens to kill him, Doug wrestles with divorce, parenting three daughters, and trying to make the most out of life.
Somehow, the prospect of dying feels more natural than divorce, but as the love fades in his marriage, Doug realizes that perhaps his wife is simply the one with the courage to say so.
But their marriage produces three healthy daughters, so a mission exists to see to their fruitful upbringing. Doug clings to life as he attempts to fulfill his paternal duties.
Planets, Transplants, and Autocorrect dives into single parenting, dating misfires, remarriage, and trying to maintain a sense of humor throughout all that life throws at us, even when the outcome may look grim at times.
Follow Doug from desperation in the Barnes-Jewish ICU to his white-knuckle driving experience on the highly banked corners at Daytona Motor Speedway. You will find inspiration in both the tragedy and blessings that come Doug’s way in this slice-of-life memoir about overcoming the odds and living life to the fullest.

Client feedback:
"I was so fortunate to work with Robert on my book. I was a first-time author who needed so much help to get my project to the finish line. There were so many details I didn't even know about or how to address! Robert knows his business and coached me to improve my manuscript exponentially. I completed the project with his help on page design and publishing, and his knowledge of category placement of the book resulted in the book achieving Amazon Best Seller status within 24 hours of launch, where it continued to be at or near the top sellers for the first few months. Robert is a tireless worker and is very detail-oriented. Thank you for helping me to produce the best book possible!"

Blurb:
Finally living her dream of teaching in Spain, Dena is on top of the world—until she receives a call that her mother is in the hospital. When her mom passes away, Dena is left with the helpless sorrow that comes when you’ve lost a piece of your heart. Time passes, but she feels stuck. She decides the only way she can truly move forward is to take a few steps back and return to her mother’s home town: Monrovia, Liberia. As Dena sets out to uncover her mother’s pre-war life, in a post-war nation, equipped with little more than optimism and an invitation from an aunt she barely knows, she expects to meet a few relatives and maybe see the house her mother grew up in. What she finds is a country bursting with natural beauty and idiosyncrasies, feisty yet hospitable family members, dreary rainstorms and mouthwatering cuisine. Despite an unexpected language barrier in an English-speaking country, Dena begins to feel at home, finding that life there involves a little bribery, a lot of laughs... and a great deal of self-discovery.
