Project Overview

Author Warren Swier was available for two performances on July 31, 2010 which included time to sell and sign his new book. He describes his writing style as conversational. He does his best not to preach to his readers, hoping rather to inform and give his readers an interesting aspect of life to think about. His book is a mixture of serious and not-so-serious subjects.
