Man...all these published authors here. I'm sure CJ Fusco will weigh in, as soon as the Rays finish whupping up on the Red Sox. :(

Wait, shouldn't it be creative non-friction?

M.D. Holloway 10-13-2008 02:18 PM

Seriously! It’s a genre I adopted - take ideas and concepts and explain them in stories that are for the most part true save names, dates and other trivial figures...

Who's your publisher? I need one for my autobiographical book, "I'm a Lesbian in a Man's Body".

hey you re-invented "the case method"!


2 blubs so far and nothing about iso, mike?

you know it's a buzz word... use it

M.D. Holloway 10-14-2008 07:49 AM

If it is good enough for HBS its good enough for DPS!

ISO is so "90's", today its all about 'value contribution', 'reliability', 'cost avoidance' and 'value proposition'...

Oh ya, lets not forget GREEN.
