What this author began as a simple short story defiantly grew to a full length novel.\u003cbr\u003e TRADE SECRETS fictionally combines \"chance\" occurrences and people in the author's own life: living in a small town (not unlike Chandler's Wharf),witnessing massive flooding of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, serving guard duty at a military stockade,observing some people thriving where they live while others seem cruelly out of place. \u003cp\u003e Like a child, this novel demands: \"Do events occur and people appear by chance coincidence or are these a series of planned miracles without flash and bang accompaniment ?\"  \u003cbr\u003e Every skillful planner uses trade secrets to achieve goals.  Isn't it possible the planner himself is someone else's trade secret ?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135676367088,"sku":"9781468550078","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468550078_p0.jpg?v=1763696792","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468550078","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
