Hi Friend --
My name is Danny.
I’m here on Kickstarter to tell you about my NEW book:

Almost Magical Quotations: 101 Inspirational Quotes for Motivation and Encouragement.

Almost Magical Quotations is a collection of my favorite 101 motivational quotes. This book will also include fun pictures and cartoons from one of my good friends who is a professional cartoonist.


I love reading and I've read over 500 books during the last decade.

Here are some of my favorite books. Watch the video:

Some of my journals:

I’ve kept a lot of journals too. I write meaningful quotes, lessons, tips, and suggestions from books in my personal journals.


I’ve compiled a collection of my favorite inspirational quotes. These quotes are brief and in “fair use.”

Here are the 7 chapters in the book:

Chapter 1 -- Meaning of Existence [Note – I’m an existentialist]
Chapter 2 -- Achieve Your Dreams
Chapter 3 -- Generously Give
Chapter 4 -- Imagination is Imperative
Chapter 5 -- Create What You Want
Chapter 6 -- Attract Good Things
Chapter 7 -- Learn for Life
Bonus I -- Ten Activities with Quotations [These are good for group activities]
Bonus II -- Danny’s 25 Favorite Books [You may want to read some of these]
Bonus III -- Discover Our Sponsor’s Books [Your book could be included here if you pledge for the author’s package].
Bonus IV -- FREE Subscription to Danny’s e-Newsletter on books.

Why Read a Book?

The late Jim Rohn (1930-2009), a motivational speaker often said:
"The book you don't read won't help."

Mark Twain said:
"The person who won’t read has no advantage over the person who can’t read."

The motivational speake Charlie “Tremendous” Jones said:
"You are the same today you’ll be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read."

How Will This Book Help You?

Watch This Video to Discover the Benefits of This Book:


About a year ago, I was watching the DVD documentary “Waiting for Superman” based on the book by Karl Weber. The DVD argued that the United States is ranked #25 out of 30 countries in math and #21 out of 30 countries in science. They did report that the U.S. ranked # 1 in confidence!


I started to think and decided I should create a simple, easy-to-read book that could help encourage Americans (especially our youth) to become successful. Naturally, one of the big focuses of this Magical Books is to encourage people to become readers.

And Here are the Rewards:

Get the Book Plus All 7 Magical Cards for a $15 Pledge!

Sample front of the Magical Cards

There will be a Magic Quote on the book. The quote will be from classic books that are now in the public domain.

So I’m here on Kickstarter asking for your pledge, to help with the costs of printing The Magical Book. With your help, this book will become a reality. Thank you so much for your generous support!
