Retired....Not!

 As many of you know I have retired from facility and property management and reopened my company called Wizardry Enterprises to continue speaking and training.  As my wife says, I'll never fully retire.   My passion for sharing information has always been strong, and I have been so blessed to have the opportunity in helping others excel and exceed over the last 30 years.   Even though I have worked with Fortune 500 companies, my primary industries have of course been property management and the fair and facility industry.  This has allowed me to speak with organizations such as the National Apartment Association as well as the International Association of Fairs Expositions, having presented for their national conferences and state affiliates.  We are finishing up the new web site but for now have a temporary one at https://wizardryenterprises.godaddysites.com. With new opportunities comes new adventures and I am looking forward to this next one i...

 So, book three just came out and as it was in the editing stages I had already started on book four.  The next book is a spinoff of the Wizard series, and as you might be able to tell from the Easter eggs in the other books and the ending of book three, it delves into the fantasy side.  Yes, it will have Jonathan in it; however, not until about half way through.  What? How can this be?  Well, if you read book three and at the end, you'll get a hint.  The title and yes, even the cover have already been set.   I was talking with a well known author about the concept and he stated he was not aware of anyone doing this where a series that had a spinoff also included the main character in the other books but then had a roll in what will also be book five.  Really having fun with this and Alazar has over 50 pages completed.
