an accomplished author known for his captivating novels, including his latest gripping release, "Echoes from the Abyss," has built a successful career as a senior executive at Google. Originally from humble beginnings in Seattle, he now dedicates much of his free time to empowering young women, inspiring them to overcome challenges and create their own paths. Motivated by a desire to share his life story and further his mentoring efforts, Croft embarked on writing a memoir. However, he encountered challenges along the way and sought expert guidance to finalize his manuscript. After a detailed consultation and review of his draft, Emily Anderson, a skilled publishing consultant, was assigned to coach Croft. She helped refine his vision for the final product and devised a comprehensive marketing strategy. Once the manuscript was polished, AMZ Self Publishing took charge of the book's design, website, speaker sheet, and a unique community card—a combination of a bookmark and business card—readying the book for print-on-demand. Whispers in the Wilderness became an overwhelming success, deeply resonating with the young women mentored. Currently, he is collaborating with AMZ Self Publishing on his second book.
"I first considered traditional publishing, but it didn’t align with my vision. Opting for custom publishing with AMZ Self Publishing allowed me to tap into their professionalism and expertise, ensuring my book accurately reflected my intended direction."

Alexandra Thompson,
is a versatile writer, parent educator, and advocate for literacy, actively serving on the boards of various library and literacy organizations. Based in Milwaukee, he holds an affiliated faculty position in educational policy and leadership at Marquette University’s College of Education. Samuel’s understanding of the challenges surrounding quality education in America, especially literacy, became clear when his own child started school. Realizing the limitations of the current literacy approach, he questions the common belief that relying on catch-up methods once a child enters kindergarten is enough. Highlighting the rapid development of reading-related brain structures in infancy, Samuel emphasizes the critical importance of early language experiences. He urges parents to embrace their role as their child's primary educator from day one, advocating for a deeper understanding of literacy development. In his book Midnight Dreams, Samuel challenges traditional routines like the bath-book-bed method and questions the effectiveness of simply reading aloud for school readiness. Instead, he provides parents with practical, immediate, and accessible strategies to promote language and literacy development.
"I value their professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to exceeding expectations. Midnight Dreams challenges traditional norms, and with AMZ Self Publishing, I found a partner who truly understands the significance of unconventional narratives. I highly recommend them to other authors seeking to make a meaningful impact with their work."

The monk’s words struck a deep chord: “If you're too hard on yourself,” he said, “you'll miss the cracks that begin to form.” With a gentle motion, he placed a rock into Justin’s hand. “Look at it closely, turn it over,” he suggested. “This rock represents the pain in your life. Now, squeeze it.” The harder Justin squeezed, the more intense the pain became. “Your life is like this pain,” the monk continued. “Handle both with care and gentleness.”
