***The SALSA Solution: Adding Picante to Your Life
Just off the press from VI Publishing in Olympia and a parable for
success with a Hispanic beat, the story follows two buddies who have
burned out in dead-end jobs. To put the gusto back, they revive a
boyhood dream – starting a Mexican restaurant. Along the way, they
learn important lessons contained in the acronym SALSA. The SALSA
Solution is a short, fun read, appropriate for audiences of all ages
and cultures. It is 88 pages in softcover, available for $14.95 at
www.salsasolution.com, Amazon.com, 360/459-7228
