An Exciting Announcement

September 2020

I was deep in depression over my inability to sell my beloved ranch.  My daughter called me from London and said “Dad, you have got to find something to do to take your mind off of the ranch sale.  Why don’t you start writing again?” Two years prior I had a written a travel blog under the title:   Il Vaporetto di Fred    while I was staying at a dear friend’s home in Venezia.

Thus, five years ago I started writing my blog “È Solo Un Trucco.” It was through your loyal readership and support that I decided to write a book about the value and quality of human centered relationship building. And now on October 28th my first book:

Connectability: Mastering Relationship Building in Business, Sales, and Beyond will be published. I am proud to have accomplished this task but it has not been without a great deal of help from my family, friends, editor and publisher.  As they say “it takes a village” and in deed book publishing, like many other endeavors, takes more than the writing.

And now I am writing to you, my dear readers, for your support.  In the book world it is important for ratings that the book be purchased on the publication date October 28, 2025.  I would be ever-so grateful if you would order the book from Amazon on that date.  You will help me with my ratings.  More importantly, it will encourage me to write more!!!!

I know you are all busy so I promise I will send a reminder.

I am so grateful for your support and for this amazing gift.

With gratitude,

Fred
