It has been a while since I posted, I see, so this is just an update. I continue to teach real estate at Mesa Community College, and just completed the fall 2013 semester. It has been a great job because most of my students are working toward their appraisal certification, and my students are brilliant.
Last month I presented Child of the Cult at a regional conference of the International Cultic Studies Association. The audience was mostly former cult followers and people born or raised in a cult. Before the conference I printed copies of the book on my own computer and nearly sold out what I brought. Aside from the limited edition sold at the conference, the book is only available as a Kindle edition (click the title above to see the book at Amazon.com).
Other exciting news: the University of Illinois Press will publish the e-book version of Betrayal of the Spirit, due January 31, 2014. This has been a long time coming, but it is exciting to finally see the electronic version published.
Most of 2013 I was assisting two writers with their own books, one a memoir and the other a self-help book for golf fanatics. Yes, if you play too much golf, and you get too emotional when your game spirals downward, there is help.
Besides teaching and writing, much of my time goes toward property management. The condos got new flat roofs this year, which we will be paying off until May. After that we may update the landscaping, build a new boat dock, and update all the outdoor plumbing. We will see what the new year brings.
My other blogs that I update on a regular basis are Steamboats.com (news and info. on paddlewheel steamboats, established in 1998) and Surrealist News (my political blog, formerly known as Pray for Peace News, established in 1996). I have also been active on Facebook, which I plan to continue. I will try to remember to post at The View from Here on Blogspot, but if you want to hear from me more often, set a bookmark for Steamboats.com or Surrealist News.
My sincere best wishes to all for 2014.

new news
The latest writing projects: finishing the children of cults book, should be ready soon (after twelve years). Also, just published the Cult Survivors Handbook as a paperback (original printing 2000, copyright Surrealist.org. Another cult recovery project nearly complete: Beware if You Follow your Destiny, a paper to present at the ICSA conference in July. Apart from my cult writing, I also published my first mainstream book, Dreaming Peace: Your Thoughts can Change the World. The book is available through my website, norimuster.com.
The next book will be a tribute to our friend Joan, who was an amazing artist and poet, who died last month, suddenly and without any warning. Her friends and I will meet later this month in L.A. to plan the book.
In the real estate world: I am showing condos tomorrow and Tuesday to a friend from the Delta Queen. We hope to land one on his visit here. It is a wild world out there, but we have a plan.
On Friday I moved from my old brokerage to Realty One Group, Inc., of Tempe. Something strange was going on at my old office and I did not want to hang around and be surprised. They were very good to me, but with a possible transaction coming up next week, I wanted to be prepared.
Also this year I was hired to teach real estate at Mesa College. It is the fulfillment of a ten year dream to teach at a community college, so I am thrilled.
That's all the news that's fit to print at this time.

real estate teaching update
Teaching has been great and I now work for the real estate school at Mesa College. We are designing a legal issues class for the Internet. I continue to teach at bricks and mortar classrooms, as well, and look forward to teaching more live classes, along with the online classes.

Arizona Accredited Realty
Now I have my real estate schools up and running. They are:
Arizona Accredited Realty
Preferred School of Realty
My schools are both operated under Nori Muster Schools, LLC.
Life just got that much more complicated, is all. It is really just a bunch of paperwork, but with the accredited schools, it means I offer continuing education credits certified by the Arizona Department of Real Estate. Every real estate agent has to get their continuing education and I can help.
So far I have three classes approved out of a total of eight needed, so I have five more to go. My website is http://classes.norimuster.com

Tomorrow I have another SEO class, that is search engine optimization. After my first SEO class, I came home and rewrote all my meta tags. It is fun, but time consuming!
