Author Edward Cozza’s Passion Shines with First Book, "Nowhere Yet"

I’m always inspired by people who pursue their life passions. You don’t have to speak with a person long to see they’ve stepped up to the passion that’s been calling them.  This week, Edward Cozza is that person.   For the first time, he’s publishing a contemporary fiction trilogy.  The first book, Nowhere Yet, officially debuts at a book signing and author talk at Warwick’s La Jolla on November 15.
I’m reading the book now and having a lot of fun with the characters and their stories.   I love the book.  However, I’m most inspired by Edward because of the tenacity I’ve witnessed in him as he pursues his passion of becoming a published, fiction author.  You see, I’ve know Edward for almost 15 years.  We worked together in the wonderful pressure cooker that is the corporate telecommunications industry.  We both had challenging roles dealing with customer relationships and the related issues that arise when products don’t make their buyers happy.  We solved a lot of problems together in the 11th hour under high stress.  Then, I knew him as a master relationship builder who understood that the important thing in business was the relationship and your customer partnerships.  During that time, we could never imagine the lives we are living today.
I’ve watched as Edward Cozza has stretched himself and grown into a bigger version of himself.  He has used his relationship skills to meet the leaders of the publishing industry.  He’s developed a strong understanding of the writing process, the industry and really come into his own confidence as a writer.  It hasn’t been an easy road but I’ve never seen him happier and more solidly standing in his own shoes.  Edward Cozza has followed his internal voice and is walking the path toward his life purpose.
It was my pleasure to interview Edward Cozza about Nowhere Yet at the wonderful Rancho Valencia Inn in Fairbanks Ranch, Ca.  I hope you’ll listen and more importantly, buy the book.
And lastly, I must ask you, “What are You Doing to Live Your Passion?”.
