HERE’S MY PROMISE to readers of The Billionaire’s Gift and future books: If you take the time in your busy lives to read my writings, I promise to express my gratitude and appreciation somehow. By e-mail. By a tweet or blog post. In prayer or meditation. But mostly, by writing books, essays, and short stories that hopefully move and inspire others. You have my word that I’ll do my best to treat you with respect, regardless of your status and standing in society, whether you’re rich or poor, young or old, famous or not. If I ever break this covenant with readers, please tell me.  The global community of readers and writers remains one of the last great hopes of the world, and it must survive and flourish.  Thanks for your support of all digital and traditional authors.
