A LIFE REWRITTEN
When Oliver Parker loses everything in a single devastating betrayal – his corporate empire, his wealth, and his trust in family – he embarks on a cross-country journey of rediscovery in a refurbished 1972 VW camper. With nothing but a camera, a journal, and the memory of his granddaughter Layla's laughter to guide him, he seeks to capture America's soul while reclaiming his own.
But fate has other plans.
A chance photograph in Utah inadvertently captures more than stunning landscapes – it reveals the face of Howard Andersen, a ruthless killer on the FBI's most-wanted list. Suddenly, Oliver's journey shifts from self-discovery into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse across seven states, with Oliver as both hunter and hunted.
As FBI agents track his movements, a shadowy counterfeit ring closes in, and a deadly killer follows his every turn, Oliver must apply his corporate strategic brilliance to a new battlefield – survival itself. His only allies: a determined FBI agent with secrets of his own, and a mysterious woman whose Bond-Moneypenny banter with Oliver evolves into something neither expected.
From the majestic Colorado Rockies to the historic French Quarter of New Orleans, from corporate penthouse to remote wilderness, Oliver's journey becomes a race against time that will test not just his survival instincts but his capacity for forgiveness, love, and redemption.
Some journeys change your destination. Others change your soul.
A LIFE REWRITTEN is a gripping tale of betrayal, adventure, and second chances that will keep readers on the edge of their seats while touching their hearts.
What Happened to Hospitality
Coming soon- August 2025. eBook and Paperback
In this groundbreaking examination of the hospitality industry, a C-suite executive reveals how personalized service and genuine guest care have been systematically deprioritized in favor of operational efficiency and technological solutions, and initiates a critical industry dialogue on restoring competitive service excellence.
From the golden age of service to today’s standardized transactions, this meticulously researched work documents the regulatory shifts, ownership consolidations, and strategic decisions that have fundamentally restructured the guest experience. Drawing on comprehensive data spanning four decades, the author demonstrates that service excellence hasn’t become obsolete—it has been strategically sacrificed for short-term operational gains.

How regulatory deregulation and financial restructuring reshaped industry service priorities
Why current hospitality business models create structural barriers to exceptional guest experiences
How industry-leading organizations maintain service differentiation despite prevailing market pressures
The quantifiable ROI demonstrating that service excellence drives sustainable profitability
Critical questions every hospitality leader must address about their service strategy
