Karl's primary audience has been technical consultants. But his Relax Focus Succeed book has introduced him to thousands of people looking for a different approach to building a balanced, successful life.
Over the years, Karl has been active the author and publisher communities of Northern California. Between this experience and just meeting prospective authors around the world, Karl found himself giving advice about the world of self-publishing.
After doling out the same advice again and again Karl finally realized that there must be a market for this information. And thus was born Publishing Your First Book: A Quick-Start Guide to Professional Self-Publishing.
