     Along with writing fiction novels, I also work as a TRAVEL AGENT recommending all-inclusive vacation and for cruises, I recommend Norwegian Cruise Lines.  I work with you to understand your interests and budget finding the best value specifically for you.   I am a Certified Travel Consultant, member of CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), member of ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents), and a member of Club Finz (the club's motto is "party with a purpose!").   But best of all, there is absolutely  NO CHARGE for my services!  I receive a commission from the cruise lines or resorts. Plus, if you book with me I will list you as a sponsor in my next novel!  Now that's pretty cool...    I can be reached at (888) 227-6607, ext 5915.  I work with clients nationwide. Hope to hear from you soon, Barry

    I am now writing my third novel, "Operation: Goldeneye"  which is a sister book to "Operation: Rainmaker."  The goal is to have it published this summer.  There are two sponsorships available:  The book can be dedicated exclusively to you with your own dedication page ($250).  The other opportunity is to be listed on the cover as the Director of Operations ($500).   Contact me for details.  I just visited Miami Beach to research material for the book!  I was fortunate to spend a couple hours learning about the history of organized crime in Miami and also met with the owners of Bolivar, a popular Latino restaurant that will be used in the book.  Stay tuned!
