Very cool testimonials of my work and my work ethic
“I’ve told people this before and I’ll say it again: Michael Dean laughs at deadlines. And then he gets mad at them and pulls out a stick and chases them around and whacks them into submission. And then he puts on his shades, throws his head back, and laughs yet again with the glee of a man who knows how to wield his willpower like a billy club. That’s what I say to people.
“(Finishing the book) eleven days ahead of schedule, good gawd yawl…”
–Steve Weiss Executive Editor, O’Reilly Media
==================================
“Michael has the work ethic of a Kansas farmer, the brain of a Harvard professor, and the niceness of June Cleaver. And he beats deadlines into mincemeat!
“And now I’m adding Alan (”Fallofautumndistro” Lastufka) to my list of all time favorite authors too. You both totally rock!
“I’ve worked with hundreds of authors too, and that “all time favorite list” includes about five, so you guys are among the few. You just have no idea how nice it is to work with cooperative authors who stay with me until the book is done.
–Sandy Doell, editor on $30 Film School (by Michael W. Dean), $30 Music School (by Michael W. Dean), and YouTube: An Insider’s Guide to Climbing the Charts (by Alan Lastufka and Michael W. Dean), and a few hundred other books by other people.
