Appreciate the feedback—we are going to be discussing writer rankings at our next product meeting and I will be sure to raise the points you mention.

On another note: I've seen you calling Lisa Horne "hairpuller" in the comment threads and on her bulletin board. This is a violation of our Terms of Use so I politely am asking you to cool it with the inappropriate remarks.

Rico,

Thanks for the note. I am still in the process of seeking publication for my book. I have a pretty good agent out of New York from the Denise Marcil Literary Agency whose job is to query publishers. That is where I am at right now. I tried to get to that website you listed but was unable to do so at the moment, will try again tomorrow. If you are interestred, here is the links to my personal blog and my books website which detail my mission and the purpose of the book:

http://www.becomingatruechampion.com/

http://www.becomingatruechampion.blogspot.com/

The book itself is written from the athlete's perspective and is marketed for them and their parents. It is very hard to seperate the two now-a-days. Anyway, thanks for your note and let me know if you do go to the website and blog whether Mr. Baums book Mental Edge is from the same perspective. Talk with you soon.

Best

I applaud you for not having gouged your eyes out with a spoon after reading countless articles and comments by Jimson & Lisa.

Perhaps people like you and I can rid this site and the world of such bottom feeding, unworthy writing.
