The Story Of Gamer Zone

Exploring A Business Failure

Every entrepreneur experiences a business failure at some point, though most make a point to hide those failures or only speak of them in passing. Wichitan Davis Ray Sickmon, Jr., takes a completely different tactic, exploring a business failure of his own in his new book, “The Story of Gamer Zone.”

“The Story of Gamer Zone – A Business From Birth to Death” (243 pages, $14.95) is an account of Gamer Zone, a business owned by Davis for two years in Wichita, Kan.  It covers everything from its inception to its eventual death, and the aftermath experienced by the author.

The book is unique in its perspective.  Most books on the rise and fall of a business are written by a third party, usually from third-hand accounts and interviews which give opportunities for large portions of the facts to be hidden away by those embarrassed by their mistakes.  ”The Story of Gamer

Zone” was written by the owner, who is intent on providing the whole truth as a warning to business owners on what behaviors and actions to avoid to increase the likelihood of success.

Davis will be having his first book signing at the Clifton Square Arts & Music Festival from noon to 8 p.m., on March 20th, 2009.  For more information on the Clifton Square Arts & Music Festival visit the Fountain Street Productions website at www.FountainStreetProductions.com.

Davis Ray Sickmon, Jr., is a three-time speaker at Indie Games Con in Eugene, Ore., on business development in the video game industry, and one-time owner of an extremely unsuccessful business in Wichita, Kan.  He currently resides in Wichita, Kan., and is currently working on his next two book projects.  Davis also keeps a podcast and blog of his current projects at www.MidnightRyder.org.
