Foreword
I wrote this little booklet about making small talk because...well, why not? I was a shy little guy throughout most of my young life. At some point, I learned that talking to people wasn’t as scary as all that, and I figured I’d share some of my insights with you! If you are having problems when it comes to talking with strangers, then I think my booklet may come in handy. It’s not heavy-duty, and it’s not complicated. Just a quick read to help you figure out where you might be going wrong.
All I want from you, if you’d be so kind is to go to my author page on Facebook, and like it. I’m not in the business of spamming people. I just need a few dozen likes so people know I’m a real writer. So help me out, would you? If this booklet turns out
