I added his book title in italics, and also his website at the bottom, but otherwise this is the email he sent me today:

Dear Brion,

You did a lot more than design my book cover and interior, you also provided me with the road map to successfully publish my book: The Financial Insider’s Annuity Guide. The only thing I had to do was follow your instructions and listen to your advice. Now my book is in print and available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It’s hard to imagine that my book was only published in January of this year and it’s now June and my book is in the #1 position on Amazon for annuities and is the #1 Bestseller for annuities at Barnes & Noble.

I owe all my success to you! You are not only the best investment I’ve ever made, but the smartest! My success is directly attributed to your creative book cover, the step by step instructions you provided from how to get the ISBN number to filing with the Library of Congress. I could not have done it without you. Thanks for all your help and I would highly recommend you to anyone! Please feel free to use me as a personal and business reference.

Best Regards,

James M. Edwards
The Financial Insider

Nice huh? But it’s also inspirational to know that it’s possible to have a successful book without a major publisher behind you, or a big-league book publicist, celebrity endorsements, or a big advertising budget…sometimes its enough just to be sincere.

James has no idea I’m posting this, consider it my endorsement of doing things right for the right reasons. What goes around comes around…

The Financial Insider’s Annuity Guide

“This Man is an Angel disguised as a Medical Doctor—His words will Touch Your Soul”

—Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
Internationally renowned author and speaker

“Dr William Hablitzel’s dedicated readers invariably feel that not only is he an author they want to read, but also the physician they’d like to have. There is healing and comfort on every page of this beautifully crafted work, which is more like an intimate, heart-to-heart chat than a book. Readers will recognize themselves and their loved ones in these moving accounts. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a reminder of what the compassionate heart of medicine can be like.”

—Larry Dossey, M.D.
Author of The Power of Premonitions

“It Was Only a Moment Ago is filled with life-changing insights that can only come from a physician like Dr. William Hablitzel—a true healer from whom deep compassion, wisdom, and clarity flows forth, like sweet, refreshing water from a pristine spring.”

—Christiane Northrup, M.D.
ob/gyn physician and author of the New York Times bestsellers: Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom, and The Wisdom of Menopause

Scheduled for a January 2011 release, you can download a sample chapter or pre-order from Dr. Hablitzel’s website here: It Was Only A Moment Ago

Robert Krakower breaks through outdated ways of thinking about retirement to present a clear, practical, and unflinching guide to the new realities and risks that we all face in designing a stable retirement plan.
