Dear Group Members,

My new release,
Believe, Live, Run.
is available at Amazon.

In a nutshell, my story is about how I've become from a “village peasant” into an engineer, and what extreme difficulties I had to challenge during my way towards fulfilling childhood dreams: cancer, chemotherapy and so on.. in the meanwhile, sport literally saved my life.

This is Howard from the Seattle area. I would label myself as a photographer turned author. For years I have been travelling around Washington state shooting its iconic landscapes and ghost towns and selling them online. Based on my favorite locations, I put together my first book, The Seven Wonders of Washington, and self-published it on KDP.

A few months ago, my second book, Abandoned Washington State, was published by Arcadia Publishing. I am currently working on my third book, Abandoned Idaho.

Hello everyone,
My name is Douglas Emerson. I’m a consultant and coach specializing in project management and goal-setting. Over the years, I’ve helped people move from vague ambitions to clear, structured results.

My debut book, Start at the Finish: The Power of Reverse Planning, presents a simple but powerful system for achieving clarity, confidence, and consistent progress by planning backwards from your desired outcome.

I’d be happy to connect with fellow readers and authors here. If anyone is interested, I can share a free copy of the eBook in exchange for an honest review on Goodreads or Amazon.

Looking forward to learning from this community and joining the conversation!
