Books Written by Karen McCreadie

The list below includes books that were ghost-written, re-written, co-authored or authored by Karen McCreadie. It is important to understand however that when a book is ghost-written the content of the book belongs to the authors not the ghost writer. It is not cheating to hire a ghost writer! The material in a ghost written book is still created and provided by the author. It is the written expression of their ideas, intellectual property or methodology. In some cases the author provided a rough manuscript, in other cases a handful of post-it notes - all were available for interview so that the book created reflected their message not the ghost's. Most of the books were collaborative to some extent or another as two heads are almost always better than one. In most cases the authors were happy to acknowledge Karen's assistance and their thanks are expressed in the Acknowledgement section of their respective books. In rare cases (ten books so far) the author prefers Karen's involvement to remain anonymous. Those books obviously don't appear in this list.

John Ilhan: A Crazy Life by Stephen Dabkowski & Annie Reid. Published
John Ilhan: A Crazy Life by Stephen Dabkowski & Annie Reid. Published - Friday, October 30, 2009

Acknowledgement:
"Karen McCreadie was originally commissioned by John Wiley & Sons in 2004 to write John Ilhan's book. Karen conducted a series of interviews with John and write a manuscript called The Black, The White and The Crazy, as a reflection of John's business techniques and unique way of looking at the world. Although the book was succesfully submitted to the publishers it was never published. John was in the middle of an epic court case with Telstra and wanted to delay publication until it was resolved. More importantly John felt his story was far from finished... Unfortunately the Telstra settlement took considerably longer than anyone had imagined and shortly after its conclusion John passed away... As a result this book has undergone its own journey. Importantly, John's presence is evident throughout, owing to the book's first version authored by Karen McCreadie but the story could not have been told without the vital contribution of everyone involved.

On The Shoulders of Giants by Rhondalynn Korolak. Published
On The Shoulders of Giants by Rhondalynn Korolak. Published - Monday, December 01, 2008

Published by Imagineering Unlimited via BookSurge.

Acknowledgement:
"Writing this book was an overwhelming and daunting task. I found that the words poured onto the page relatively easily but with them came vivid emotions and memories that I thought I had successfully buried. Had it not been for the support, encouragement, understanding and expertise of Karen McCreadie, this book simply would not have been possible. I consider it an absolute miracle that we connected via the internet and that she agreed to assist me with this project. I respect, trust and admire her immensely. She helped me to write the thoughts I couldn’t express easily but desperately needed to communicate and she often read my mind and my heart – which was no easy task."
