More information about Betty Dravis can be found by visiting her web site at http://bettydravisauthor.googlepages.com/ (inserts in back of book, 2009)
Chase Von is a military brat who has lived all over the world. Mr. Von has held a variety of positions during his storied career. He served the USA as a Marine Officer in Desert Storm and Desert Shield. He has authored three books, interviewed numerous performers and artists of various genres, penned several short stories, and written a variety of poems (some are even showcased in this book) and songs. He owns VonChase Publishing and lives in California with his wife and three children. More information about Chase Von can be found on his web pages at http://exposweb.net/ExposedWebPages/ChaseVon/ or http://www.nextcat.von/ChasevonTheLastPanther or www.thesop.org. (inserts in back of book, 2009)
This book is a compilation of interviews and stories with, and about, some special people who have created a niche in the competitive world of celebrity. They come from a variety of backgrounds and are from all over the world. Some sing, some act, some write, some dance or model, but all have sage advice for others who are searching for their special slots in life. These talented people share their dreams of seeking success. Some of these talented people have reached beyond their comfort zones where they have broadened their celebrity and personal appeal even more. This has come via hard work and dedication to their various crafts. These people all have what it takes to be famous and then some. There are even a few who have found success despite sometimes daunting life circumstances which makes achieving that success bittersweet.
A few of the more memorable passages from these interviews are as follows: "No excuses for mediocrity. Life is a gift, appreciate every second and make it count." Shawn Richardz. (2009, p.62) "Be yourself, because no matter who you are there will always be someone who disapproves." Kashy Keegan. ( p.219) "Every morning find one thing , one things that makes you happy, and tell everyone you know about it…" Nhojj. (p.291) "Follow your dreams and make good choices." Donna Solitario. (p.325)
I recommend this book for anyone who needs a little inspiration or a jump start as far as direction. The advice from these various stars should help anyone get and stay on the right path to find success and achieve their dreams!
