Please share this link with anyone whom you believe may benefit from reading my book. Enjoy the FREE ebook (Kindle) version for yourself and your family.

Another request for your opinions, please...

A few weeks ago, I asked for everyone's opinion about options for an editorial quote for my book cover... and I was blown away by everyone's opinions and votes! I appreciate it greatly because I ended up choosing y'all's selection instead of the one that I was going to go with.

Some of you will recognize the editorial quote that y'all voted on displayed on the new back cover. Thanks to everyone for your votes!

The darker yelllow-orange background is the new cover, which includes the editorial quotes and awards stamps on the back.

Could y'all give a quick vote on which cover you prefer?

Or, more specifically, which cover is more emotionally evocative and likely to tempt you to purchase a copy?!

I was on a podcast for the first time!! A few thoughts I'd like to share...Firstly, I never wanted to be in the spotlight at all! I've always preferred to be 'the guy behind the scene' who contributes to the teamwork and expertise required to creatively build and make worthy pursuits successful. Sho...
