Reading Time: 8 minutes
You probably know me best for my years in the trenches of eBay, helping folks navigate the world of e-commerce, and teaching the “how-to” of reselling. However, as I reached a major milestone recently: turning 65!: I decided it was time to branch out and share another side of my creativity.
Over the years, I’ve learned that being a successful reseller isn’t just about knowing your margins or mastering keywords; instead, it’s about keeping your mind sharp and finding ways to de-stress after a long day of sourcing and shipping. That’s exactly how my journey into the world of self-publishing
Overall, I’ve put together a collection of books on Amazon that reflect my love for fun, education, and mindful living. Whether you’re looking for a laugh about getting older, a way to keep the kids busy, or a place to record your biggest business dreams, there is something here for you.
Why I Started Creating Books
When I hit the big 6-5, I realized that I wanted to create things that would bring a smile to people’s faces. In the reselling world, we are always looking for “the next big thing” to sell; however, sometimes the best thing you can do is create something of your own.
Each of these books was designed with a specific purpose in mind. For instance, some are for pure relaxation: because let’s be honest, after wrestling with a difficult customer or a pile of unlisted inventory, you need a break. Additionally, others are educational, aimed at the next generation of explorers.
Below, you’ll find my current catalog. Overall, I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed creating them!
1. Turning 65 Activity Book: A Fun Celebration
Turning 65 is a big deal! It’s the age where you start thinking about retirement (or in our case, maybe just refining the side hustle). Consequently, I wanted to create something that celebrated this milestone with humor and engagement.
The Turning 65 Activity Book is packed with puzzles, brain games, and coloring pages designed specifically for those of us entering our “golden” (and busy!) years. Specifically, it’s a great way to keep your brain active while having a little laugh at the quirks of aging. Whether you’re buying it for yourself or as a gift for a friend who is hitting that magic number, it’s guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment.
Key Features:
- Challenging puzzles that keep the mind sharp.

2. Winter Sports Coloring Book for Kids (Ages 8-12)
If you have kids or grandkids, you know how important it is to keep them off the screens and engaged with something productive. So, I created the Winter Sports Coloring Book to combine creativity with a love for the outdoors.
This isn’t just a simple coloring book. In addition, you’ll find a fun, educational mix of winter sports—everything from skiing to ice hockey. Since it’s designed for ages 8-12, the pages are a bit more detailed to keep older kids interested. Overall, it’s a great companion for a cozy snow day or a long car ride.

3. Chill Like a Capybara: The Ultimate Stress Reliever
Have you seen the capybara trend? These animals are the masters of “chill,” and I think we could all learn a thing or two from them. Unfortunately, in the fast-paced world of e-commerce, stress can pile up quickly.
The Chill Like a Capybara coloring book is part of my relaxation series. Specifically, you’ll see these adorable animals in various peaceful settings. According to Wikipedia, coloring can act as a form of meditation, reducing anxiety and improving focus. Consequently, this book is my gift to you to help you find your “zen” after a long week of sourcing.
Why you need this:
- Adorable, high-quality illustrations of the world’s most relaxed animal.

4. Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids
“Kawaii” is the Japanese culture of cuteness, and it has taken the world by storm. Plus, I’ve always loved the simple, happy aesthetic of Kawaii art, so I put together a book that celebrates all things cute.
The Kawaii Coloring Book for Kids is filled with happy snacks, cute animals, and smiling everyday objects. Additionally, it’s designed to be upbeat and positive, making it a perfect rainy-day activity. If you’re looking to stock up on birthday gifts or just want to treat the little ones in your life, this is a crowd-pleaser every time.

5. Dream Journal: For Self-Discovery and Business Planning
As a business mentor, I always tell my students that if they don’t write down their goals, they’re just wishes. However, even beyond business, understanding your dreams and your subconscious can lead to amazing breakthroughs in your personal life.
The Dream Journal is a dedicated space for you to record your thoughts, feelings, and the dreams you have each night. In other words, it’s a tool for self-discovery. By tracking your patterns, you can gain clarity on what you really want out of life and your business. For instance, I use mine to jot down those middle-of-the-night “aha!” moments that often turn into my best business ideas. It’s amazing what dreams can reveal.
This is also available in Hardback or Paperback.
How to use it:
- Keep it by your bedside to catch dreams before they fade.
- Use the prompts to reflect on your daily wins and challenges.
- Track your progress toward your big, “scary” goals.
