Page Readers talks with Jean Holloway

Jean Holloway's debut novel Ace of Hearts started 29 years ago in answer to a bet. Her sister Lori said, "You read so much, I bet you could write a book" and Jean answered, "I bet I could."

Jean's oldest memories are of reading. She let the words carry her away to places only her imagination could take her. Stephen King and Dean Koontz are her ultimate tour guides and honorable mentions go to Jean Auel and Agatha Christie. Jean sometimes felt more at home in their cleverly crafted worlds than in her own.

Accepting her sister's bet would prove more challenging than easily merging her love of reading great horror and mystery classics. In 1980, she wrote the first draft of Ace of Hearts longhand. Over the next two decades the manuscript matured with technology, to typewriter to word processor and finally to computer in 2003.

In 2004, Lori once again challenged Jean to introduce Ace of Hearts to the world. She pushed Jean to print several copies of her manuscript and she even paid for Jean to attend the National Book Club Conference in Atlanta, GA.

Not willing to say no to such a tempting challenge, Jean went and handed her manuscripts out in a room full of Zane fans and book clubs began talking! She met her soon-to-be publisher that weekend. Three months later, Jean signed a contract, went through the editing process and "Ace of Hearts" was born!

Jean Holloway has released her sophomore novel, Black Jack, with PHE Ink and she's currently writing the third installment to the Deck of Cardz series.

But most importantly, Jean's story is one of hope. And to never give up your dream.

Page Readers talks with Robert Needham, author of Wealth 3.0

After the financial collapse of 2008, economists predicted that if America did not change, we would slip into another Great Depression and possibly a dictatorship.

Dr. Needham sees it another way, he believes that the American dream of freedom beats strong in the heart of our citizens. However, he does believe that it is time for another Freedom Revolution as our forefathers did with Wealth 1.0, except this time it is not for “land”, but “100% ownership of American Free Enterprise (a small business)”.

In Wealth 3.0, Dr. Needham establishes a new doctrine for the Middle Class. He proposes that the crisis created by the Wealth 2.0—Big Business and Big Government failure which broke the trust in “fractional ownership of Big Business (Wall Street)” forever has left our economy in shambles. Americans need to make a re-declaration of our independence....read more

According to the Social Security Administration, by the time we reach Age 65; only 3% of Americans have achieved Financial Security and 97% retire Dead, Dead Broke, or Still Working. This is the legacy of Wealth 2.0. It is estimated that when faced with a life crisis such as illness, finances, or divorce only 10% will change their habits and choose another direction. Dr. Needham, in Wealth 3.0, believes that getting an additional 7% to achieve Wealth as the 3% did in Wealth 2.0 will create a new economy in America that can create prosperity, freedom, and a legacy with hope for our entire nation.

The 90% remaining will not change, but the economy will be strong enough to provide them help in their journey to dependence as describe in Tytler’s Fatal Sequence.

Dr. Needham calls for a non-violent revolution of the Middle Class to demand their rights to freedom, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. “We need a system of Wealth Coaches just like the Upper Class has enjoyed; that will provide the wisdom and knowledge needed for Wealth Creation and the Accountability.”

Will you stop asking Big Business and Big Government to “watch over you” and join our revolution to save America? If so, Wealth 3.0—Saving America One Small Business At A Time™ may be just the answer to your financial future.
