Charles L. Weatherford is a management consultant and writer. He looked like this in about 1999. He looks similar now, except with more gray hair.

It is the author’s intention to follow two rules in the series. The first is that the electronic books will be priced at $2.99. The second is that each volume be a convenient read of no more than about 150,000 words for the story text. Appendices, prefaces, and other reference matter do not count in that total.
