“Getting a New Job” book release!

August 22, 2022 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

Thrilled this one is out: Just as “Managing the Worry Circle” helped people around the world, so will this. For most, the worst part of a new job isn’t doing what’s required, it is finding and landing the job in the first place! Having taught and coached around the world, I have compiled an easy […]

For the second time in life Tuki, a full generation after she rocketed to national fame, faces a difficult life situation that forces her to get off the mat and carve out a […]

June 3, 2022 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

Worth the wait and laugh-out-loud funny! The eBook launched today, with print due to follow in just a couple days! I am very excited to share this story — the idea for it germinated at least five years ago and percolated seemingly forever until I figured it all out — but now that the read […]

New Comedy on the Way! A fun, quick, and easy read, Lucas Goes to Cabo is out with advanced readers. All appendages are crossed hoping the story will soon be ready for release.

Catching Up As We Gladly Exit the Fun House Mirror of 2021

December 7, 2021 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

I apologize for getting lost. No good reason, just a barrel of feeble excuses. Like much of the world, I’ve been running sideways, backward, two steps forward, ducking, and hopping erratically depending on the how reality dictates. Time to at least get somewhat caught up. In no particular order: Been busy on a variety of […]

New Novel in the Works: The TUKI BANJO follow-up

March 17, 2021 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

August 17, 2017 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

12 Miles to Paradise & Tuki Banjo, Superstar Destined for Europe To say it is a boost for a writer to earn fans and business deals based on the strength of his or her work is a bigger understatement than saying kids like ice cream. I recently reached agreement with Slovakian publisher Peter Fritz to […]
