I want to thank Nick Ligidakis and Inkwell Productions for the ongoing support and direction of the production of this book. It was sitting in a closet when we first met, and look what we've done!
Ed Smith
Even from the beginning, several close friends and mentors have supported my dream of aspiring as a writer. Never to this day, would I have believed that I could reach this print so soon. If it weren't for my supporters, I probably would have given up this story completely. Starting off as a tedious class writing assignment, this story has flourished into an in-depth look into the unspoken lives of many teenagers and adults.
I must begin this book by thanking all of those wonderful people who have helped me and encouraged my writing: Nick Ligidakis-my publisher, my writing coach, my mentor, and my friend. Along with Nick Ligidakis, I'd like to thank the company Inkwell Productions and my editors, John Feula and Magon Kienzie for making this book possible.

The initial manuscript languished until I saw Mary Contraras at the 2001 Tempe Chamber Annual Lungeon. With heartfelt interest in my wellbeing, she opened a new door and direction in my life. She connected me to Nikos Ligidakis of Inkwell Productions. There is no question in my mind that God led me to this special angel. I am grateful to Nick for taking me under his wing, coaching me, and challenging me to be the best writer i can be. My book would never have been written or published without him and his network of professional, dedicated and loving authors, editors, designer and staff.

I followed Nick's amazing direction throughout the entire process, everything began to unfold easily and effortlessly - as if I had been waiting to turn on the light. Once the light was on, all became clear. It has been quite a journey.

"When
the student is ready the teacher will appear" and so it was when
I met Nick Ligidakis and Inkwell Productions. My love affair with
literature has been life long or at least as long as I can remember. Yet
as is true with many creative and artistic minds I had many thoughts and
ideas flying through my head like a tornado yet no real way to "pin
them down" in order to shape them into something real and lasting
such as a book. The desire was there and I had been told by others I had
some talent but what I really needed was a coach. I had passed the Author's Cafe in Scottsdale, Arizona many times in my everyday travels. I have lived in the area now for quite awhile. As I passed I would get this feeling from my gut telling me "I need to go in there". My intuition was telling me that if I did go into the Cafe my life would be changed forever, I didn't know how, I just knew it would. The timing was not quite right. Finally one day I said, "I am going to do this" and I did and my life changed forever. That day I met Nick Ligidakis and we spoke about books. "If there is a book inside you I will get it out" he said and he has done just that. With the assistance of Nick and Inkwell Productions I know I am on the way to having my dreams realized. I am grateful to all of the members of Inkwell Productions and especially Nick for all of their time and caring and support.

"It seems that the idea of writing a book has haunted me for years. As I was completing my masters degree in counseling, I found that I had many ideas and theories regarding the therapeutic process and the awakening of the soul. Although my expression of these ideas was communicated through other artistic mediums, the call of writing would not be silenced. It was fate that brought me to Nick, or should I say Nick to me. In working with Nick Ligidakis, I have discovered the hidden courage, unparalleled excitement, and mystical passion inherent in becoming an author. Nick is not just a consultant, he is the seeker and teacher of social consciousness and soulful passion. Through Nick's guidance and support, I have been able to transform the fears of expressing my thoughts and ideas into great confidence and conviction, as well as witnessing the weaving of the threads of my journey onto paper. Nick is not just a writing counselor, or publication manager, but rather the key master to an adventure in creation. We should all be so lucky to find a tour guide such as Nick, to lead us through the maze of mind and into the heart of our soul. Thanks Nick!"
Robert Jacoby "Inkwell Productions believes teamwork makes the dream work. When I joined, I wanted my book to do well. Nick guided me through the experience and through him I discovered how fantastic putting my thoughts to wood pulp can be. Inkwell Productions is a network of authors who can tap into and thrive..hot topics, warm topics...topics of all shapes and sizes will benefit from hanging with this elite group of growing word smiths who are in love with the promise and are perfecting the ability to share their wisdom with the world through words...I am one "Proud Mary" to be apart of this illustrious group. I am confident that through Nick the other nine works in progress will move just as swiftly as my first. Cha-ching!
John Lewis
"Everyone has a story to tell and Inkwell Productions is with you every step of the way as your story unfolds from vision to reality and everywhere in between. All of your questions will be answered while they walk you through the book publishing process"
Ann Hintze
"As I begin a journey on unfamiliar terrain, I feel honored to have Nick Ligidakis as my guide and Inkwell Productions as my support and lifeline to achieving the goal of self-expression. Envisioning beginning and completing a project as overwhelming as writing and publishing a book was, for me, fraught with major blocks. Nick's mentoring has taken chaos and refined it to excitement and motivation. With the knowledge, expertise and experience available through this exceptional group, I proceed with confidence that any blocks on this journey will be managed efficiently and effectively thus enabling me to stride forward in my desire to express with passion and clarity. Within all of us, including YOU, there is an expression, a journey of your own soul, just waiting to explode into form. I am very grateful to my guide, Nick, and my companions, Inkwell Productions, for the nurturing, caring, intelligent and uplifting support provided to me as I leap forward into the creation process that is my heart."
Victoria Monize
"I consider Nick to be a Godsend! I knew I was a writer, I believed I was ready to finally write those many books I had always dreamed of writing. What I didn't know was how to go about doing it; where to get it edited and published. Nick graciously answered any questions I had! What I craved was a writer's support group and a knowledgeable mentor. Nick exemplifies this and delivers! He has a huge heart and a gentle way of guiding the beginner-writer in a confidence-building and motivating way. Personally Nick helped encourage me to tell my story; gave me the necessary information for the step-by-step process of publishing; and continually provides affordable and valuable resources in networking, marketing, editing and printing. I am grateful to have Nick in my life!"
Kathy Kearns
"I
have experienced having my books published by a major publishing company
and also by Inkwell Productions. The experience has been one of a
great frustration in the first case, enough so that I bought back my rights
and then self published the book. Since I have been working with the Inkwell Productions
I now have access to the manuscript in such a way that
I was able to choose the cover I wanted, do publicity as was needed, have
the books available when I am speaking and whenever I need to have access
to them. I can make them available to bookstores and have found that it
is more satisfying to be in control of the manuscript.
