Memoir cover design

A few people have been asking who designed the cover of my memoir "A Remarkable Life, Lived by an ordinary person"...  It was designed and put together for me by my good friend Daisuke MAEHIRA.  I have no Daisuke since he was five years old.  His father and I were best friends in Japan a long time ago.

The photograph is Taken at the Polynesian cultural Center in 1972.  The lovely woman on the left is my grandmother Raker, I'm the long-haired boy on the right!

My Memoir Is Coming Soon!

Hello friends, I have completed my first memoir "A Remarkable Life, lived by an ordinary person" and have almost finished the process of publishing with Amazon self publish tools.  It's been a very interesting and satisfying process.  Should be available on Amazon.com within the next few days...  Softcover edition only $7.50 plus shipping of course, the Kindle version only $2.99.  I'm very proud of this work and think that my writing has improved since my first book.  I hope some of you will be interested in reading about the first 25 years of my life. 

Search for the book by the title or by author name R.K. Raker - You can also get to it from my author page on Amazon.
