"Friends are what make dreams come true"

Press On Endeavors came to be, with the  publication of my book, "Building the Last Canadian Crusie Ship." I too have been a dreamer at times. Like all authors, one dream was to someday write a book.

Well, what started as notes for a speaking engagement in 2001 for the Learning and Leisure Group of Peterborough, Ontario, turned into the storyboard that created that book. It was a labour of love for something that has been a real perception for a quarter century. I thank those that heard my dream and offered help in some form.

So you have read and have proof that some dreams come true, and this dream is now a reality. In my struggles to turn my dream into a manuscript and a manuscript into a book, I met with many problems. I was not a scholar but was more a business person. I came across a segment of the publishing industry that was not kind to emerging authors.

All authors do not create best sellers, but many authors create great books. I found a way around the need for greed. I started a Publishing company.

Our goal is to advise and assist emerging authors to find a way to turn their dreams into a printed book and to find the way to expose those books to the world for all to enjoy. To share your  stories and minds.
