Steve Camp, CVE, is no stranger to authoring books. The Retired IAVM member based in Charlotte, NC, collaborated with Kim Mahoney, Lee Esckilsen, and Sporty Jeralds in 2015 to produce the Public Assembly Venue Management: Sports, Entertainment, Meeting, and Convention Venues in 2015. Now, eight years later, Camp sets sail in a fun and different direction with a novel entitled Unconventional Plan.
Camp said that the book was published by Innovative Ink Publishing and called it an industry-related work that could be interesting reading for IAVM members. We so happen to agree and invite members to order a copy on Amazon by clicking here.
Camp added that the book will also be available in print or digital at Barnes & Noble locations.
The advance marketing for the fiction work follows and be aware that Doug Johnson is merely coincidental 
to any readers by the same name.
Perhaps time was Doug Johnson’s worst enemy, but there were several other factors that would make his decision to lend expertise to an unfinished community project a questionable choice. A staff with little experience, a fast-moving construction project and a political situation that could endanger the whole process were additional issues Doug had to consider. He would have to address all these issues while he was committed to helping an acquaintance determine whether or not his band was good enough and dedicated enough to pursue a meaningful existence in the local live music industry. While Doug’s abilities were time proven, even his vast experience and exceptional career might not be enough to pull it all off. He would need to dust off his tools for management, his organizational skills and his ever-important ability to build a successful team. He would definitely need a plan and perhaps it would need to be an unconventional plan.
Hey, on second thought this kind of sounds like something some IAVM member can relate to in the real world!
