Cindy
Cline-Flores'
Always Hope:
True Stories of Ordinary People
Overcoming Extraordinary Odds
Nearly
six years in the making, this
beautiful book was released to
the world on 9 April, 2010,
during a moving program at Unity
Church of Christianity in
Houston, Texas. (That's Unity
Senior Minister Reverend Howard
Caesar at the podium in the
right-hand image above.)
Compiled by
Cindy
Cline-Flores and enhanced
with the works of renowned
photographer Alisa Murray, this book
is a stirring collection of true
stories about people who have
suffered, and survived, some of
life's most brutal trials. Always
Hope includes a special
foreword by famed writer Ray Bradbury, a longtime
friend of the author's late
sister, to whom this book is
dedicated. (For more information
about Always Hope,
including ordering information,
click here.)
Working for
Cindy, we edited — and in
some cases helped write —
the stories for Always Hope,
and provided cover design and
page layout/design. We did this
not only for a special limited
promotional edition of the book
(which we featured on our old
site), but also for the final
published edition, which involved
adding new stories as well as a
complete re-sizing and redesign,
new layout, and new dust jacket
design. We also helped create
press packages and other
promotional material for the
April 2009 book launch in
Houston, and we continue to
support the author's promotional
efforts and her dream to bring
the book to a larger audience.
This book is only the beginning
of what the author intends to be
an entire Always Hope
franchise. (We think she's off to
a great start.)

..Ralph
Williams'
Stomp
Yer Croc!TM
(and
the upcoming
autobiographical work
The
Cooliemon Legacy)
|
"Business
fiction" is a relatively new
book genre that presents
real-world business concepts and
principles in a fictional format.
Stomp Yer
Croc! is a
business-fiction gem from Ralph
Williams, president and CEO of
Cooliemon, one of the planet's
most successful
business-improvement,
benchmarking and training firms.
In Stomp
Yer Croc! Ralph uses an
entertaining story to lay out the
basics of process improvement and
problem solving...or
"croc-stomping," if you
will. (Not, as he hastens to
explain in the Foreword to his
book, that Ralph literally
advocates harming our crocodilian
citizens in any way;
croc-stomping is merely a
metaphor.) Unlike some
"fluff" books that use
parables or fables as gimmicks to
make — or stretch —
abstract points that often have
no pragmatic value, Stomp Yer
Croc! illustrates proven
business-improvement concepts and
procedures.
When first he
came to us, Ralph was all ready
to go to press through a
print-on-demand company that had
provided interior layout and,
Ralph thought, a rather
lackluster dust jacket design for
Stomp Yer Croc!. He wasn't
quite satisfied with the look of
the book. So just before he told
the printers to crank up the
presses, asked us to do a new
dust jacket design. We not only
created one that he loved, but we
also ended up completely re-doing
the interior design — that
is, after extensively editing the
text and helping rewrite some
portions. Ralph was enormously
pleased with the results,
declaring, as others have before
him, that he wished he'd come to
us in the first place. (He would
have saved a lot of time and
money.) And the book, a gorgeous
full-color work, has been
well-received by Ralph's clients
all over the world.
We love
working with Ralph, and
apparently the reverse is true as
well. We have also created
full-color brochures and other
promotional materials for him,
and when his company needed a new
exhibit booth for an upcoming
trade show, we even designed the
graphics for the panels and
signage. We also provided the
basic content and design,
including most graphics, rollover
images, and copy, for the Cooliemon
web site. (Animations,
flash hyperlinks, shadow effects
on some graphics, and other
embellishments were later added
by the very talented Jay Vogel.)
Along with
writing and designing other
materials for Ralph, we're
working with him on his next
book, a nonfiction work called The
Cooliemon Legacy. This book
chronicles the amazing story of
Ralph's family, who have roots in
India, Jamaica, and London. The
Cooliemon Legacy is not only
an absorbing family chronicle but
a rich source of takeaway lessons
about love, faith, work ethic,
and other lasting values.

..Sterling
R. Braswell's
Crazy Town:
Money.
Marriage. Meth.
|
In
early 2006, Sterling published American
Meth
through the print-on-demand
company iUniverse. In alternating
chapters, he laid out the global
history of methamphetamine use
and abuse, and his own harrowing
experiences — experiences
that nearly cost him his life
— with a meth-abusing spouse
and her lover.
At the time
Sterling was first unraveling the
tangled conspiracy between his
ex-wife and her dangerous
career-criminal lover (who were
running a meth lab almost under
Sterling's nose), there wasn't a
great deal of information widely
available about meth abuse.
Desperate for guidance, Sterling
set out to research the problem,
and that research eventually led
to this compelling blend of
social history and memoir.
The original
work, American Meth, was
very well-received and actually
got pretty widely reviewed, which
is rare for a print-on-demand
title by an unknown author.
Obviously the book filled a gap.
When Sterling decided to revise
and expand the work, he hired us
to edit existing chapters and
create new ones for publication
under his own imprint, Streetgang
Publishing. As he was making
plans to go to print with the
book (under the title Tweaker
Madness), it came to the
attention of a small publisher in
Pennsylvania, Kallisti
Publishing, whose
owner, Tony Michalski, knows a
good book when he sees one. Tony
struck a deal with Sterling to
publish the book under the title Crazy
Town (which, as
it happens, was one of the
alternative titles we had
discussed with Sterling during
the book's developmental stage).
And the rest is history... or, to
be more exact, an expanded global
history of meth, as well as a
painful but eloquently written
personal history of the damage
done by this nightmare drug.
Visit the web
site... and get Crazy.

Town blog.

guy? Here is what occupies

..Lisa
Pankau's
Beyond
Seduction:
Loving
Without Limits
|
What's
the secret to making passion in
marriage last for a lifetime?
Lisa Pankau knows. Married for
years to a famous and flamboyant
private eye who, to put it
charitably, had a short attention
span, she managed to sustain a
passionate and mutually
fulfilling (though admittedly
sometimes tempestuous) union. In
this book she shares how she did
it... and how any couple can keep
the passion alive long past the
honeymoon.
Lisa
Pankau's own life story
is worth a book in itself, and
maybe that's coming next (we're
strongly encouraging her!). But
first things first. After the death of
her beloved husband (and our
client and friend) Ed in 2004, Lisa
decided that one way to handle
her grief and loss was to share
with others what she had learned
over the years: "the
knowledge that there is the
possibility of a deep and
passionate love that two people
can nurture, grow, and share
together for a lifetime."
She chose to do this via her
book, Beyond
Seduction, Loving Without Limits, for which
we edited the manuscript, created
the cover and interior design,
and created the e-book.
Since the
book's publication Lisa has been
doing the media rounds. Not long
ago she sat down with host Dave
Anderson on the KATU-TV (Portland
Oregon) show, AM Northwest,
and talked about her book,
focusing on one of its hot
topics, the "C" word:
Conflict. Here's a temporary
link; as soon as we get a
permalink we'll provide that, or
alternately, will secure
permission to embed the video on
this page.
http://www.katu.com/amnw/segments/92106974.html?video=YHI&t=a
Though she
frequently visits the States,
Lisa is currently living in the
Central American paradise of
Roatan, Honduras, where she is
involved in real estate
development. She is now
working on the Spanish
translation of Beyond
Seduction (and yes, we'll be
helping her bring that one to
life as well). To find out more
about Beyond Seduction, visit

Nicoli's
Thinking
Thin:
A
Startling New Approach
to Weight Loss and
Fitness
by
One of America's Most
Successful
Board-Certified
Hypnotists
|
Tom
Nicoli is not just another
hypnotist promising miraculous
instant results with no effort on
your part. He'll be the first to
tell you that real change takes
work. On the other hand, weight
loss and maintenance don't have
to be an exercise in
self-torture. In Thinking
Thin Tom
outlines simple and
straightforward techniques to
access your subconscious and
create real and lasting
behavioral change that will
support you in your quest for
health and fitness.
From the
publisher's page:
Have
you suffered through too many
trendy diet programs without
lasting results? Have you
worked yourself to the point
of exhaustion in the gym?
Have you ever taken a
“miracle” pill to
help you lose weight? Does
your weight still fluctuate
more than the stock market?
Are you pleading for a weight
solution that actually works?
If you
answered yes to any of those
questions, then you must read
THINKING THIN — a
startling new approach to
weight-loss and fitness
developed by Tom Nicoli, BCH,
CI, one of America’s
most successful
Board-certified hypnotists,
who has been seen on Dateline
NBC and praised by SHAPE
Magazine as the “Hippest
of the Hyp!"
Tom
has shown thousands of people
around the world how to live
free from the anguish of
obesity — all without
the struggle associated with
most weight-loss programs and
diets. Why put up with
dangerous diet pills or waste
another day of
self-starvation or dreaded
workouts when you don’t
have to? Make the decision
today to embark upon the
joyous path to a better you.
It all begins with THINKING
THIN...
Thinking
Thin was first published in a
limited edition under the title, D.E.P.T.H.
of Behavior: The Truth About
Weight Loss. We helped Tom
create the original book, based
upon the self-hypnosis principles
he teaches. Although D.E.P.T.H.
of Behavior was his first
book, Tom already had an
impressive series of audio
products covering everything from
weight loss to pain management to
sports performance improvement.
Besides handling the writing
under Tom's guidance, we also
created the cover and the page
layout and design for the
interior. Later the book was
picked up by Kallisti
Publishing and released
under a new title, Thinking
Thin.
We truly
enjoyed working with Tom and hope
to work with him on future books
in his D.E.P.T.H. of BehaviorTM series.

..Paul
McCormick's
Secrets
of the
Millionaire Inside:
The
7-Step Formula
For Becoming a
Millionaire
|
Paul
McCormick calls himself The
Millionaire MentorTM,
and, indeed, he is considerably
more qualified than most people
to give advice about how to
become wealthy. After all, he did
it himself. Starting from almost
nothing, he helped build a
multimillion dollar business
within three years, and walked
away from the corporate grind to
a life of independent wealth
while still in his thirties.
Unlike many
writers who claim to be wealth or
success experts, Paul is the real
deal. What you get in Secrets
of the Millionaire Inside is
not secondhand theory from some
wannabe, but practical advice
from a self-made millionaire.
Moreover, Paul doesn't promise
any magical formula that will
make you rich overnight without
your having to lift a finger.
(Good thing, too, because we
think the world has seen more
than enough of that kind of
stuff.) He does present some
eye-opening, and some would say
counterintuitive, ideas about
wealth, devoting much effort to
exploring the self-sabotaging,
wealth-destroying attitudes most
people have about money. In fact,
his "formula" is almost
as much about what not to
do (and how not to think) as it
is about what to do if you
want to become wealthy. For
instance, as paradoxical as it
may seem, the more you
"love" money, the more
likely it is to elude you. Hence,
point number one in his 7-Point
"Formula For
Millionaires": "Stop
loving money." (There's
something else Paul says you
should love and value instead.
The answer may surprise you.)
When Paul
approached us to turn a series of
his wealth webinars into a book
describing his
"formula," he already
had one book under his belt, Secrets
of the Miracle Inside. He
sent us the transcripts of his
webinars and speeches, and in
less than two months we turned
them into a full-length
nonfiction book, Secrets of
the Millionaire Inside. We also
provided the page layout and
interior design. (Paul had
already hired another cover
designer before he came to us,
but we did help enhance the
jacket flap blurbs and the
back-cover copy.) In addition,
using other material from Paul's
webinars we created
three shorter e-books for him,
"Busting Those Money
Myths," "Businesses
That Can Make You Millions,"
and "Making Millions While
You Sleep." We also did all
of the graphic design for the
e-books, basing the
"covers" on the cover
design for Secrets of the
Millionaire Inside.

the Millionaire Inside web site, his Formula For
Millionaires site, or The Authentic

..Ian
Fletcher's
Free Trade
Doesn't Work:
What
Should Replace It
And Why
|
Dissident
economist and successful
investment advisor Ian
Fletcher intends to explode,
once
and for all, the myth that
that free trade is always
best. The truth is that free
trade is slowly bleeding
America's economy to death.
But the author doesn't just
explain the very real
problems free trade causes or
exacerbates. He also offers
cutting-edge solutions,
framed around the
groundbreaking school of
economics known as New Trade
Theory. Free
Trade Doesn't Work
exposes trade issues as no
other book on the market has
done. And it actually manages
to make trade theory
interesting to the rest of us
— which is quite an
accomplishment in itself.
As the
world wrestles with the worst
economic crisis since the
1930s, free trade has become
controversial in a way that
it hadn't been since the
early-1990s debate over the
North American Free Trade
Agreement. Ignoring the
reality of history and
current events, the
wealthiest nations continue
to embrace free trade almost
as something sacred, viewing
protectionism as a threat to
their economies and entire
way of life.
Nevertheless
it is free trade that really
poses the threat — not
just for America but for
other developed and
developing nations. The
nearly $700 billion trade
deficit in the U.S. is just
one example of the cumulative
damage free trade causes. Ian
Fletcher explains this, and
much more, in Free Trade
Doesn't Work. This book
is not just a rehash of dry
trade theory; it introduces a
fresh new way of thinking
about the issues, along with
realistic solutions. Of
course it is controversial,
but manages to be so without
being politically partisan.
Most importantly, as the
editorial description on the
Amazon page puts it:
"Unlike many past
critiques of free trade, it
is economically-literate; it
also explains New Trade
Theory, the hot new area of
economics that critiques free
trade."
Free
Trade Doesn't Work is, as
the author writes on the
FreeRepublic.com site, "a
good counterargument to the
Thomas Friedman view of
economic globalization. Read
this book to get ahead of the
curve on America's next big
economic controversy."
Formerly
an economist in private
practice (serving mainly
hedge funds and private
equity firms), Ian Fletcher
is an Adjunct Fellow at the
San Francisco office of the
U.S. Business and Industry
Council (USBIC), a Washington
think tank founded in 1933.
We created a book proposal
for Ian's completed
manuscript for Free Trade
Doesn't Work. The work
had already received
impressive pre-publication
reviews, and Ian was very
dedicated in his efforts to
get the manuscript into the
hands of credible experts.
The book was published by the
USBIC in January 2010, and
continues to get accolades. (If

Trade Doesn't Work,

..Mark
Stephens'
Never Afraid:
One Clean Cop
in a Dirty World
|
Mark
Stephens was living his
boyhood dream of being a cop.
And for many years he was a
"good cop" in every
sense of the word, arresting
literally thousands of
criminals, helping solve some
of Houston's most notorious
crimes, never losing a case
in court, earning more than
forty commendations —
and doing it all on the
up-and-up. It was too good to
last.
So
competent was Mark at his job
that he was promoted to an
elite division in his
department, the Public
Integrity Unit. In his new
position, the targets of his
pursuit were not violent drug
dealers or armed robbers, but
public officials. He found
himself thrust into a realm
of politics where there was
no black and white, and the
line between good and evil
was blurred. Worlds away from
the dangerous streets where
he had begun his career, he
learned about a different
category of "bad
guys" — the suits
who ran the city, and some
that were running the police
department — who turned
out to be as bad as some of
the perpetrators that he had
arrested on the streets. The
difference was that some of
the "suits" didn't
get arrested. They received
commendations along with
their bribes. One — a
former Chief of Police —
is still active in public
life and was even poised at
one point to assume an
influential position in a
presidential administration
that prides itself on
transparency and integrity.
When Mark
discovered corruption in his
own department there was no
way he could just turn a
blind eye to it. Thus he
found himself caught up in
what he describes as "a
twisted version of 'good cop,
bad cop.'" Things got
pretty ugly, and ultimately
he had no choice but to give
up the career that had been
his lifelong dream.
Never
Afraid is the true story
of one Houston police officer
who tried to stem the tide of
corruption that reached the
highest levels in the
department, and who
sacrificed his career in the
attempt. That corruption
remains, and is, if anything,
seeking an even more
lucrative playing field. The
idealism that once drove
Mark, though somewhat
diminished, isn't gone. Now,
however, he battles the
corruption from the outside,
as a successful private
investigator, and as a man
with a passion to tell his
story.
Although
the manuscript is still in
progress, Mark is actively
seeking representation and
publication. Towards this
end, we created a winning
query and book proposal
package for Never Afraid,
which is currently being
reviewed by a major literary
agent who asked to see the
proposal after receiving the
query. Mark has also spoken
with a couple of Hollywood
movie producers who are
interested in possibly
turning his story into a TV
series or a feature film. We
think this work has terrific
potential and are doing all
we can to support and
encourage Mark in bringing
his book to life. And he is
already working on his next
book as well, stirring the
pot even more as he uncovers
yet more political
corruption. It is, it seems,
a never-ending story...

more information about Mark
Stephens, visit his
web site.

2010 news story on Houston's
CBS affiliate, KHOU-TV

Rascon's
The Heart of News:
Lessons
of Love,
Faith & Gratitude
From Today's News Stories
|
Emmy®-Award
winning broadcast news
journalist Art Rascon,
currently with Houston ABC
affiliate KTRK-TV (Channel
13), has gone on assignment
all over the world, reporting
on outer events while always
seeking the inner lessons
Whether it's a natural
disaster of cataclysmic
proportions, new trouble in
some war-ravaged land, or a
history-changing political
development in the US or
abroad, chances are that Art
Rascon will be right in the
middle of it, relating events
as they unfold.
But Art
has always had a passion for
the news that goes beyond a
desire to report events.
Although he has carved out a
remarkable career reporting
those events, striving always
for fairness and accuracy
(and at times putting his
life on the line while doing
a story), the news has always
been much more to him than
the headlines and top
stories. He has always been
more intrigued by the stories
behind the headlines, and the
life lessons at the true
heart of the news.
In The
Heart of News, he shares
his personal experiences and
observations from intriguing
stories covered over the past
two decades. At the very
least, these accounts are
entertaining and eye-opening.
But they also offer a vision
of love, faith, compassion,
and hope that will stay with
the reader long after today's
top headlines give way to
tomorrow's breaking news.
We edited
the manuscript for The
Heart of News and
provided jacket design and
interior layout and design
for a limited published
edition of the book. Art was
a delight to work with.
Although The Heart of News
is currently unavailable, Art
is still busily reporting the
news from all over the world
(and no doubt gathering
stories for his next book).
Among many other assignments,
he recently delivered a
remarkable series of reports
from earthquake-ravaged
Haiti.

testimonials (in progress)
Over
the years we've gathered plenty of
accolades, scattered throughout the
acknowledgments pages of published
works, as well as in emails and other
online forums... it's just a matter
of getting them all together in one
place. Meanwhile, here are a few
published acknowledgments:
Ralph
Williams, owner of one of the
world's most successful
business-improvement firms,
Cooliemon, in his
business-fiction book Stomp
Yer CrocTM:
"...a very special thank
you to Ron Kaye and Connie
Schmidt, who have added so
much to the story. Their
efforts increased the clarity
of the tale and developed the
characters in ways that
greatly improved the flow of
the plot and the points that
the story conveys. In
addition, Ron and Connie
designed the wonderful dust
jacket for Stomp Yer CrocTM
that
illustrates the themes and
symbols represented in the
book, and designed the
interior in a manner that
significantly enhanced the
book's visual appeal."
Cindy
Cline-Flores, long-time
executive director at Unity
Church of Christianity in
Houston, Texas, in her book Always
Hope ~ True Stories of
Ordinary People Overcoming
Extraordinary Odds:
"Ron
Kaye and Connie Schmidt, for
your editing, design, and
input for the book... for
your generosity and kindness!
I have truly enjoyed working
with both of you."
Lisa
Pankau, in her book, Beyond
Seduction: Loving Without
Limits:
"My
book editors and designers,
Ron Kaye and Connie Schmidt,
have so patiently and
lovingly assisted with the
text of this book. While my
perspectives are generally
more reserved than theirs, it
has been a tremendous
pleasure to work with them on
this project. I am very
excited about the final
product and am very grateful
for their expertise and
experience. Thank you Ron and
Connie!"
Jesse
Marcel, Jr., son of the first
military officer at the 1947
crash site in Roswell, New
Mexico, in his book The
Roswell Legacy:
"To
Ron Kaye and Connie Schmidt,
I give my thanks for turning
decades of memories into a
book in which my father and I
can take real pride."
Renato
F. Sison, retired
psychiatrist and bariatric
(obesity) physician, in his
book Instinctive
Eating: A Re-evolutionary
Approach to Nutritional
Health and Weight Management:
"My
first thanks go to Connie
Schmidt and Ron Kaye. Like
the good doctors that you are
not, you were gentle
when I needed support, firm
when my efforts needed
redirection, and honest when
I needed an opinion (for a
fleeting moment I considered
using the phrase, brutally
honest, but I thought
this might understate your
qualities.) Enlisting your
assistance was the most
prudent thing I did for this
book. Thank you for helping
to make this the book that I
had envisioned."
Paul
McCormick, wealth expert and
author of Secrets
of the Millionaire Inside
and numerous e-books, in his
e-book, Making
Millions While You Sleep:
"I
gave a teleseminar a few
months ago and it was well
received. I thought it was
pretty good, so I thought I
would turn it and some of my
other recent speeches into a
book... [I had the audio
files transcribed and then]
sent the transcription
to...Schmidt Kaye &
Company Professional Literary
Services. They edited it and
made it beautiful (and they
also did the interior
design)... Schmidt Kaye &
Company made it into a
beautiful, flowing
book."

If
you're "not really a
writer," or if, like
Paul McCormick, you
simply don't have time to
write — but you are
a successful public
speaker or seminar leader
— no worries! We
specialize in turning the
spoken word into readable
and engaging prose, which
is a lot more involved
than it might seem at
first glance. (Try
sitting down and reading
a transcript of any kind,
whether it's a court
deposition or a
transcript of a TV
segment, and you'll see
what we mean.) We'll not
only transform your
speech(es) — or even
your random thoughts,
spoken out loud —
into "written
word-ese," but we'll
flesh out your thoughts,
do research and
fact-checking as needed,
and add relevant ideas of
our own (with your
approval, of course). And
that's not all. If you're
self-publishing we'll do
the layout, graphics, and
cover & interior
design for both print and
e-books. Your customers
will have a real reason
to buy your books,
because they will
complement but not be
redundant with your other
information products.
A
book works for you on
multiple levels. Your
books are a vital element
of your brand (assuming
that is a concern of
yours), but they're more
than that. More than any
other product, a
well-written and
professionally designed
book helps establish you
as an authority in your
field. We'll help you
create books that will
enhance your brand and
increase your
credibility.

Schmidt and Ron Kaye, of
Schmidt Kaye &
Company...for their endless
hours. They gave the book the
shape it is in today, and I
have no doubt that without
them I would not have
completed it. I'll never
forget that July morning
sitting in that hot little
bagel shop when the idea for
the book's format was first
suggested. Connie, all I had
to do was say a few words and
you read my mind. I could not
have found another person
more dedicated and committed
than you have been. You are
one in a million, and I
cannot thank you enough. I
used to wonder why authors
spoke so fondly of their
editors — I now
know."
Janet
O'Neal, "The Love
Coach," in her book The
Complete Idiot's Guide to the
Art of Seduction:
"I
thank Connie Schmidt and Ron
Kaye, 'the Love Coach
Literary Support Team,' who
went above and beyond the
call of duty to help bring
this book to life. The book
truly would not have been
possible without you."
Reverend
Jerome Stefaniak, author and
spiritual teacher, in his
book, Intimacy
In Action ~ Relationships
That Feed the Soul:
"Ron
and Connie: Thank you for all
your love and support in
making this book become
alive!"
Ronald
P. Schutz, MBA, CLU, CBI,
financial advisor, lifelong
entrepreneur, and author, in
his book, Financial
Truths For The 21st Century ~
Survive the Hype & Heist
With Your Wallet Intact!:
"Ron
Kaye and Connie Schmidt...had
the talent to polish my
words, and provide an
eye-catching design (and a
wonderful cover) for those
words."
In
his book, Beyond
Majority Thinking: Helping
Remove Uncertainty From Your
Financial Future
(co-authored with Gail
Schutz): "Ron
Kaye and Connie
Schmidt...reworked our
efforts and tied the themes
together. Like the orchestra
leader, they coordinated and
filled in missing pieces to
give a complete story."
Tom
Nicoli, BCH, CI, certified
hypnotist and author of Thinking
Thin
(formerly D.E.P.T.H.
of Behavior: The Truth About
Weight Loss),
writing about Ron Kaye on
Linkedin:
"Working
with Ron on my book D.E.P.T.H.
of Behavior - The Truth About
Weight Loss was a
pleasure as he helped make
the process a wonderful
experience. Ron's an outside
the box kind of guy with the
ability to be in the box when
needed. I highly urge anyone
to use Ron's services."
Genie
J. Fuller, author of Winning
The Referral Game:
"Thank
you so much for making my
book, Winning the
Referral Game, a winner!
Your layout and cover design
on both the first and the
second edition have made a
huge difference. The book
works because you really got
my message and laid the book
out to support my message and
training. Because of your
creativity and expertise, the
book looks great, and I am so
proud of it. In addition, you
are fun to work with! I never
knew what to expect, but I
knew it would work well. I
appreciate your keen sense of
humor and dedicated work
ethic. Even though I brought
the book to you with limited
time to complete, the project
was finished and printed in
time for a large customer's
deadline. Thanks for making
my project a priority.
Because of your creativity,
skill, experience and
expertise, not to mention the
friendship we developed, I
look forward to working with
you on my future endeavors."

7
SERIOUSLY GOOD REASONS TO HIRE US
This
entire page is definitely a work in
progress.
Meanwhile, you can find some older (in
some cases, much older) information about
past
clients
at our old web site.
Just
remember:
1. The links on
that old page will only lead to
more old links. So, if you're
using a newer version of a
browser such as Firefox or
Windows Explorer, right-click on
the link and choose "Open up
link on new page." Or...
2. ...Use
the "previous page"
arrow at the top of your browser
to get back here.
3. Even
more importantly, the contact
information on the old site ~
including the email address ~ is
incorrect.
You can reach us at: info@schmidtkaye.com or any of
the other addresses at the bottom
of this page.
Okay,
here's that link...
