After forty-plus years of writing his magnum opus, and twenty-plus years after teaching Goldfinch Publishing’s very own Rob Dircks, Joe Scalia just needed a little nudge to finish the job and get his epic satire UFSD71: A School Novel out into the world. So Joe and Rob reconnected, worked together (well mostly Joe worked and Rob humbly offered what guidance an old student might dare suggest to his junior high English teacher), and ultimately unleashed on the world a tome described as “must-read,” “laugh-out-loud,” and of course, “A+.”

For over forty years, Joe hopped in and out of the world of fictional Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Memorial High School, drawing on his decades of teaching and dealing with the not-always-sane students, fellow teachers, and administrators to craft an epic satire/comedy about the most dysfunctional school ever. It’s a mirror of all our ridiculous faults and foibles; a biting, sarcastic, laugh-out-loud funny, and thought-provoking story; and at its heart it’s a sympathetic tale of the crazy people around us. All of us. 

When this self-published author wanted to relaunch his title Diary of a White Collar Criminal, he enlisted Goldfinch Publishing’s A La Carte services for help with generating reviews, technical production assistance, and a new cover design. In his 20’s, Jerome was an aspiring finance professional on his way to the top. With his new family and his sights set for success, the world was his oyster. Lured by the prospect of big business, his career derailed when he joined forces with his future co-conspirators in a real estate and mortgage fraud scandal. It was indeed white collar crime.

A virtuoso guitar player and teacher born and raised in New York City, Adam spends most of his time touring and conducting workshops. In 2006, he got “way deep” into fingerstyle guitar after hearing the one and only Tommy Emmanuel, and has since toured worldwide, released several fingerstyle instruction DVDs, and amassed over 10 million YouTube views.

Adam turned to Goldfinch Publishing (known simply as “Dircks” at the time) to produce his guitar instruction DVDs and streaming videos. With our multi-camera setup, professional ProTools audio and Final Cut video studio, we’ve been able to help Adam publish a very successful line of DVDs.
