Thank you for your interest in my writing.

My current priority is the Dale Hunter Series of business crime-thriller novels. The series is a continuation of the theme of  sharing stories in my two business books, Don’t Do It the Hard Way and  The Complete Do-It-Yourself Guide to Business Plans. New editions of those two books were published in 2020.

For business writing, I used the pen name of your Uncle Ralph, but you can call me Del. Uncle Ralph is my alter ego and comes from all my own prior experience, plus everything I learned from the good and bad managers that I worked with over the years.  Coincidentally, Ralph is my secret middle name and was my father’s first name. Uncle Ralph is definitely much wiser than I am and has experienced more than I could possibly have lived through myself.

The objective of my writing at the website LearningEntrepreneurship.com is to help entrepreneurs be better and do better. Better for themselves and their families, their  employees, customers and suppliers, their communities and the planet.

Perhaps some of those valuable lessons will be even better communicated in my fiction, but the primary objective with those books is to be appealing, interesting and entertaining for a wider audience.

I look forward to staying in touch and hearing your feedback on all my projects.

Thank you for visiting.
