Have You Ever Thought About Ghostwriting?

Ever considered ghostwriting? For the best advice, got to England, or get this book through Amazon.uk. It is by far the best book on becoming a ghostwriter I've ever found, and is not available in the United States.

WORD FOR SURGE IN FRENCH? Maybe you should know

How do you say 'surge' in French? Or any other word in French. How about learning that foreign language you studied for two years in college and don't remember a damn thing about. It's not too late. Hey, my grandfather learned fluent Italian when he was 80. So what's stopping you? I know. Everyone speaks English. You don't have time. Well, on your next trip to Whole Foods, I bet you won't be hesitant to buy Spanish olive oil, French mineral water, or dozens of other products. Admit it.

Sneak a read at this book and let those tears come even if it's under your blanket at 3 a.m. Remember those times in summer camp?

Now's the time for your tears.
