LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF PLEASURE

Yesterday was the finale of SEASON ONE of Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Pleasure, airing its 100th show. This blockbuster talk-radio show on the America Out Loud platform was the inspiration of its fearless founder, Malcolm Out Loud. Earlier this year, Malcolm assembled ten extraordinary and accomplished women from around the globe to change the conversation. On April 8th, it began. As the tagline goes, “It’s a gender thing…or is it? World Peace, Religion, Sex, Money, Politics, Climate Change, Big Business, Big Ideas and Big Egos! Nothing is off limits.” As one of the co-hosts, I was honored to be part of this amazing journey.…And I can assure you nothing was off limits!

Meet Malcolm Out Loud and the Ladies…

If you were one of the unfortunate that missed all or any of the shows, don’t despair. SEASON ONE will give a repeat performance and air daily on America Out Loud Talk at 5:00 pm, encore at 11:00 pm, Eastern Standard Time. You can also tune-in to hear my Podcasts directly on my website or go to American Out Loud and listen to all of the shows at your leisure. Prepare yourself for SEASON TWO with an entirely new cast to begin in November. You won’t be disappointed.

My takeaway from this experience. It was a fantastic opportunity to discuss a wide array of topic with a group of diverse women coming from all sides of the spectrum. Oftentimes, the discussions touched my heart, other times challenged my mind. Most of all, I learned, grew and added another facet to my life, including some new friends.

It was a great run as a co-host on talk radio. But after dividing my time between talking it up and writing it down, I’m back to the full task of completing the next novel in the Max Ford Thriller series. This time around Max has herself operating in a whole new realm that will have her digging deeper into a controversy. I can’t tell you anymore…it will spoil all the fun, other than it will be a real stinger.

And just when you thought this summer couldn’t get any hotter, Climatized is still stirring the debate. Now, as a semi-finalist for the prestigious Royal Palm Literary Award given by the Florida Writers Association…other possibilities lay in wait. Wish me luck! The finalists will be announced in October. But it doesn’t stop there.

It’s one of those “life becomes stranger than fiction” moments. I get the chills just thinking about it, which feels pretty good right now…Florence today, 100 degrees, down 6 degrees from two days ago. I digress with a pitiful metaphor, but timing is everything. So, I can’t tell you about this incredibly exciting thing that is about to happen, but the formal announcement is just around the corner. Sorry, but you know I love a cliffhanger.

However, while you’re waiting, don’t forget to check out America Out Loud. It truly is an awesome online platform; a go-to place for the latest news and commentary, covering everything from politics to a healthy lifestyle.

As Malcolm would say, “My friends, to be continued”…

 

CLIMATIZED GOES TO NASA

Climatized, the first novel in the new “Max Ford Thriller” series involves the deaths of a prominent senator and three world-renowned scientists who were killed because of information they possessed regarding the push for climate change policy. Through many twist and turns a powerful organization was deemed responsible for the killings and their motives were revealed. The president was provided with cogent evidence that forced him to make a crucial decision—to expose a diabolical plot—or bring down a multi-trillion-dollar worldwide industry. Either way the world had been “climatized.”

As I weaved my storyline between fiction and fact, I decided to pair my fictional characters with real-life experts. At the time, I had no way of knowing that this novel would propel me into a real-life experience with these prominent men.

On January 18th, I had the distinct honor of meeting many of the members of The Right Climate Stuff research team at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. This illustrious group is comprised of astronauts, scientist and engineers from the Apollo Space Missions and is chaired by Dr. Harold Doiron. Dr. Doiron, and members, Tom Wysmuller, and Jim Peacock, are my real-life experts. Following their presentations, I gave my presentation on “The Making of Climatized.” Thanks to the efforts and support of these men, I could end my presentation by saying, “Houston, we have lift off.” [The full presentation will be available for viewing on my website in late February.]

This awesome opportunity didn’t end there. The next day, Joe, my husband and editor, along with David Dunham, my publisher, and I, received a private guided tour of the Space Center led by Jim Peacock and Tom Wysmuller, two savvy Apollo Space veterans.

The Space Center is massive and we started in the International Space Center Museum, where we meandered around artifacts, space hardware and an orbiting laboratory. In the Starship Gallery, we saw the various capsules of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. While asking many questions, from the purpose of the massive number of gears in the capsule’s door to the intricacies of the landing gear, Jim Peacock would modestly reply, “I designed that.” It gave me chills to hear stories from Jim and Tom, two people who experienced firsthand, the activities of our manned-space program.

Later, we took the tram over to the original Mission Control Center, looked down at the enormous training center, and walked into the Shuttle Replica Independence, the one you’ll see in the photo strapped to a 747 airplane. Incredible as it is to imagine, this shuttle flew from the West Coast, having just returned from the real International Space Station, to the East Coast, attached to a 747.  Joe and I had the incredible experience of seeing this spectacle in midair while we were living in San Francisco. We watched as it flew past the city and over the Golden Gate Bridge. Never could I have imagined that I would one day walk through the plane and see the shuttle from inside.

The entire two-day experience only served to rejuvenate my interest and remind me how important space exploration was then as it is now. Many forget, including me, the number of practical applications and inventions that came from NASA’s research and is used in our everyday life; airplane seating, a “temper foam” used to line the inside of football helmets and a multitude of other uses, anti-corrosive coating used on bridges, pipelines, etc. and medical applications, such as the concept for hearing aids. These are only a few examples of many applications.

I could continue to wax on about our time with these true American heroes, but perhaps these photos are a better testament to their contributions to improve our lives on Earth through their exploration in space. I even beat President Trump to the podium.

SHAMELESS PROMO

Yesterday was a momentous day! After a year of 24/7, Climatized, the first novel in a Max Ford Thriller series, was released. But it was also the culmination of eight years of writing and producing five novels. Fortunately, my husband is also my editor, so it was a journey we shared together. Now, as it was with the release of the prior novels, the champagne remains chilled with its cork waiting to be popped. It always seems that up to the moment the book is published, our list is fraught with tasks ranging from final touches to major commitments. Then, when the day finally arrives the list is replenished with marketing and promoting tasks. Yesterday’s events were no exception and seemed to move at warp speed.

First, my interview with OmniMystery News was posted, then Climatized was spotlighted on Confessions of an Eccentric Bookaholic, and then my TV interview on SunCoast News FYI was released on YouTube. The promo events slowed down momentarily as the day was about to end, until I received some unexpected emails. They were from two separate powerful organizations, each offering the possibility of an endorsement. The books and press releases are now in the mail…for the outcome…we’ll all have to wait.  But if you missed any of the days events, please click on the images below…learn more about me, more about Climatized, and hear me spout-off about both. My husband and I…we are going to finally pop the cork!

YOU SAY TO-MAY-TO; I SAY TO-MAH-TO.

However you pronounce the name of the fruit, it’s still the same fruit. But when White House Administration not-so subliminally exchanges one letter for another, it significantly changes the meaning.  For more than a year I’ve listened carefully to the questions and answers bantered about between the administration and the press corp. When the question of terrorism arises the media, without exception, refers to ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. On the other side of the podium, whether it’s the press secretary, Josh Earnest, or anyone else, they always respond by referring to ISIL. Everyone in the administration must have received the memo requesting they replace the S with an L, and refer to ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Levant is the region that includes the middle-eastern countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea: Cyprus, Palestine, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, and Syria. But why? The reference to the Levant places all of these countries in the enemy camp. In this case, the switch in letters changes the meaning dramatically. Then the administration tosses in the name Daesh, the acronym for the Arabic phrase al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-Sham. Variations of the word Daesh translates to “sowing discord and crushing underfoot.” It’s also quite interesting that reportedly, ISIS doesn’t like the reference to ISIL, and even less so, to Daesh.

Why use the archaic terms ISIL and Daesh vs. ISIS? One can only speculate. Is it an attempt to include Israel? Or is the administration purposely sending the message that the terrorist cells have spread beyond Iraq and Syria? Could it simply be the administration’s clever attempt to get under the enemy’s skin? If so, shouldn’t all sources be guided to use the same terminology?

Another example of bait and switch, is the term global warming that the administration then changed to climate change. Then White House science adviser John Holdren suggested it should be called “global climate disruption.” Does each phrase have a different meaning or is it just hocus-pocus semantics?

These are all important questions, but whatever the answers, the words themselves are important, and should not be misused or misconstrued or misunderstood. Especially when you hear platitudes chanting the lesser of two evils: Is it climate change or terrorism?

President Obam[image error]a stated in April 2015 “Today, there’s no greater threat to our planet than climate change.” And more recently, in July 2016, John Kerry, the Secretary of State stated that “The use of hydro-fluorocarbons is unfortunately growing…Already, the HFCs use in refrigerators, air conditioners, and other items are emitting an entire gigaton of carbon dioxide-equivalent pollution into the atmosphere annually. Now, if that sounds like a lot, my friends, it’s because it is. It’s the equivalent to emissions from nearly 300 coal-fired power plants every single year.” Kerry went on to say that the Montreal Protocol efforts to remove hydro-fluorocarbons to save life on the planet was of equal importance to the challenges from Daesh, ISIL, and terrorism.

So is our new threat air conditioners and refrigerators? There has been a lot of chatter challenging the validity of Kerry’s statement. But I’ll give him a pass because he truly believes…using an archaic term, that human-induced global warming exists. So he’s tilting at windmills and fighting the battle on two fronts.[image error]

 

Confused by all the phrase slinging? —It is meant to be confusing. This is not a war of words by the administration, but a war on our intelligence. Looking for a straight answer? Preorder a copy of Climatized available October 4, 2016 and “Public Enemy #1” will become clearer.

NEW BEGINNINGS

Some say change is good, some say a new beginning or a fresh new start is great…but all at the same time! I love a challenge, especially weaving my characters in and out of various fictional plots. But weaving my time in and out of various projects has been a challenging task unto itself.  After publishing my forth and final novel of The Simon Tetralogy, I immediately began a new series, starring Maxine Ford as the female protagonist. Some of  you may remember that Max was introduced in the second novel, Noble’s Quest, and has become a beloved character by many. It only seemed fitting that she should have a stage of her own, starting with Climatized, the first in a series of Max Ford Thrillers.

In the midst of my writing, I also managed to sell, buy, and move into a new home in the States, while orchestrating the modifications and a move in Italy, a radio interview on America Out Loud, a book signing at Barnes & Noble, a TV interview on Home & Castle, traveling three quarters of the way around the world to return to Italy via San Francisco and Hong Kong, and redesigning a new website…Whew! But enough about me, Max has been busy too!

After resigning her post at the States Intelligence Agency, Max declares her independence as she bursts onto the Washington scene as a private investigator. She displays her usual no-holds-barred style showing no obeisance to the elite politicians. Right out of the starting gate, she finds herself in the cauldron of mystery, murder, and mayhem. All of her clients are warned to prepare themselves for the truth…at all costs.

In Climatized,  Max is hired by the wife of a prominent senator to determine the cause of his untimely death. It leads her to discover that three world-renowned scientists had been killed days before they were scheduled to testify before the late senator’s investigative committee. Meanwhile, a fourth scientist has gone missing. Max determined he is the key to unearthing the motives behind the deaths. Following the many twists and turns, Max and her associate, Jackson Monroe uncover a powerful organization responsible for the killings. The challenges to the global warming “cottage industry” heats up putting into question the alleged science behind the widely accepted climate change dogma. Cogent evidence is provided to the president, forcing him to make a crucial decision—to cover up a diabolical plot—or bring down a multi-trillion-dollar world-wide industry.

THE MORAL DILEMMA — WHEN IS ENOUGH?

Today, was not my usual power-walk. Instead of recording various thoughts for the book, my mind kept drifting back to a few article I had read earlier in the morning. So, before I can return to the murderous plot I’m concocting for Max to solve…let me unleash…

Obama vowed he would to transform America, and in many ways he has accomplished his goal. His push to redistribute the wealth in the U.S. and his support for the United Nations’ proposal for countries to pay their fair share to those countries suffering disasters, are only two recent examples. Most significantly, he has managed to weaken the U.S. as a global force in the eyes of the world. Certainly, his policies have diluted entrepreneurship. And the spirt of opportunities that once prevailed has waned. The very foundation America was built on is slowly crumbling. Sadly, the word “superpower”, appalling to some, has lost its significance.

I recall a conversation I had with a person from Italy about the 2004 tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean. He had remarked that the Italian government had donated more money to the victims than the U.S. government. What he didn’t understand is that the amount of money donated from private citizens of the U.S. was greater than that of the Italian government, whose citizens relegated the responsibility.  The point is to highlight the difference in the citizen’s mentality between a strong nation and a socialist government. It raises the question our nation will be called to answer in the presidential election in November 2016?

Today, in the U.S. we find ourselves in the midst of a moral and social dilemma as it pertains to the estimated 12 million-plus illegal immigrants already in the country. Statistic show that these immigrants consume upwards of 70% of the social and welfare programs. At the same time, the next generation of Americans has had to face the reality that the abused Social Security System will become an ineffective safety net for their elder years.

In Europe, we are witnessing untold numbers of refugees and migrants flocking to the various countries throughout the continent. It was recently reported that in Germany, all who are granted asylum, are furnished an apartment, healthcare, a language course, and 399 euros, an equivalent to $446 per month.

And to relieve the pressures Europe faces, Obama is considering to accept some of the Syrian refugees into the U.S. Forget the country they are fleeing from or whether or not they are genuine refugees, because most likely this is only the beginning. The fact remains, as a country—the U.S. simply can’t afford it—therein lies the moral dilemma.

Many have forgotten that the U.S. government does not have untold amounts of money. The only option to pay for such ventures is to print money, increasing our debt—or inevitably raise taxes, placing a greater burden on those least able to absorb the cost. Taxing only the rich won’t even scratch the surface to provide the necessary dollars. So, what do we do?

It is not an easy answer, but the “Band Aid” approach can no longer work.

We need to slow down and take a time out. We need to concentrate on strengthening from within. I know the world’s problems are not going to stop, while we get our act together. But the U.S. policies need to be selective and our generosity well thought out.  I have to believe that once again, with a strong economy, a robust job market, and a reduction of overly generous entitlements, we will again become a Superpower. It is the strength from within that provides us the ability to help those from around the world in need. I’m confident the U.S. will become that “shining beacon on the hill” once more.

Enough said…

DO IT…DONE…LIFE SIMPLIFIED

 

You may have noticed that during the summer months I’ve been spending most of my time in the “Time Out” Room in cyberspace. But it has not been for the lack of activity or a much-needed vacation. My time has been spent organizing a move from one house to another in Sarasota including: orchestrating modifications to the new home, working off the pesky list of things to do like switching over utilities, change of address, and dealing with the myriad of documents conjured up by lawyers to be signed…all the while living in Florence. Then I returned to Sarasota to initiate the actual move, set up the internet, phone, and cable, the new security system, etcetera, and etcetera. Oh, yeah…then there was organizing the pool guy, the lawn guy, and the bug guy.

Now back in Florence and switching gears, I reconciled our Quicken accounts after six months of neglect, planned our annual party in Florence for 90 people, and planned our Housewarming party for 120 people in Sarasota.  All sounds like fun…but the problem is I was attempting to manage five or six tasks at the same time and still thinking of other tasks to be added to the never-ending list. Even though my ultimate goal was to complete the to-do list and clear my desk literally, so I could begin the next book, the list kept growing. My wise husband and editor kept telling me to “Live in the moment.” Great advice…but I’m the one with the task list.

This is not a woe-is-me blog, but when I started to realize my husband was right and I needed to slow down and focus on one thing at a time,  I adopted my new mantra. DO IT…then it’s DONE…and LIFE is SIMPLIFIED…one task at a time.

I forgot to mention that during all the flurry of activities, I was also transcribing hundreds of voice recordings that I’ve made over the past year, all having to do with my next novel.  I also discovered mixed among the recordings, several others having to do with two other books I will be writing…what can I say, other than I’ll keep trying.

Fortunately, when I am writing, I am totally immersed. So good-bye task list for now. Starting today, I officially begin the next novel in my Max Series starring Maxine Ford.

For those of you who are not familiar with Max, she joined the States Intelligence Agency as Noble’s deputy director in Noble’s Quest. She became a formidable character throughout “The Simon Trilogy” as she was drawn into Simon’s diabolical plots. Find out in Redemption, what life-changing events caused her to leave the agency, and prepare yourself for my new series.

Here’s a hint. It starts off with Max branching out on her own as she establishes her own investigative agency. Throughout the series, her stellar clients will be among the Washington elite, including senators, members of the various congressional committees, along with other high profilers inside the beltway. The stories will continue to weave fictional plots with prevalent political issues or scandals of the time, but will focus only on a single issue, unlike my other books that took on a myriad of subjects. It will however, still be an challenging read, but with more levity.

Why wait until 2016?…get started now and join in on the roller-coaster events that take place in the hunt for Simon.

AUTHOR UNPLUGGED

 

ARE YOU MILDLY CURIOUS AS TO MY RELATIVE SILENCE?
If so, I can provide the reason in one word…

S tarting last May, Joe, my loving husband and editor, was hit with a series of medical issues. And for a man who is extremely healthy, it was quiet daunting. Then there was my foot saga that continues to present shoe challenges daily. The unexpected and unplanned health issues continued to plague us, capping off the year at the Mayo Clinic during the Christmas holiday season. Then, after the harsh welcoming of the New Year, our good health began to return, all resulting in a happy ending.

T hen came the deluge of annual appointments, all seemingly taking up more time than necessary in our lives. More doctors, lawyers, accountants, dentists, Indian chiefs, and candlestick makers each took their pound of flesh.…. And during the bedlam, I worked steadily on the final manuscript for Redemption: The Aftermath of The Simon Trilogy, conducted presentations and book signings, along with a T.V. interview.

R esurrecting our stamina, along with our neglected business commitments, my editor and I focused not only on the rehabilitation of our bodies and our minds, but once again to work on the book.

E diting reentered the picture after receiving the final copyedited version of Redemption. Suddenly we found ourselves thrown back into the game, rereading the manuscript in its entirety for the nth time. Then came the review of the internal formatted version and the final cover revisions. Finally, off to the printer it went.

S elling and buying, actually buying and then selling unexpectedly appeared on our agenda.  Three days before departing Sarasota to our home in Florence we bought a new larger home a few block away. Now owning two homes added a bit to our stress. Yes, you can rightfully call us crazy. Which explains, why…

S hips ahoy was in order. We decided after a turbulent 2014, a transatlantic cruise was just what, at least one of our doctors, should have ordered. Luckily, Joe did. He called our sea-going venture the neutral zone between our hectic lives on both sides of the ocean. Seventeen day later, on April 6, coincidently the infamous anniversary of Joe’s birth, we arrived in Venice. Within a few hours, we were back in our home in Florence. It was there that we received an email informing us that we had sold our home. The next day Redemption was published. Can you feel the stress melting away?

So, there you have it…in a word.

But it’s time to gear up, transcribe the numerous voice recordings I’ve made over the past several months, and begin the first book in my new series. This time featuring Maxine Ford the former Deputy Director of the States Intelligence Agency from The Simon Trilogy series.  Max leaves the Agency to set up her own investigative firm. Her stellar clients will be among the Washington elite, including senators, members of the various congressional committees, along with other high profilers inside the beltway. The stories will continue to weave fictional plots with prevalent political issues or scandals of the time, but will focus only on a single issue, unlike my other books that took on a myriad of subjects. It will however, still be an intellectual read, but with more levity.

I’m plugged back in and back in the game! So please join me on my stream of social networks or chime in on the discussions. And remember, reviews are always welcome.

 

NOW, ITS TIME TO GO FOR MY MORNING POWER WALK…CIAO!

 

 

IGNORANCE IS BLISS – For a Limited Time Only

I write about conspiracy theories for a living and I don’t believe in coincidences.

Yesterday on December 9th, The House Oversight Committee held hearings; the star witness Jonathan Gruber—a fact few overlooked.

Days before, haggling took place among the politicos as whether or not the Senate Intelligence Committee should release their so called, “Torture Report,” a partisan report detailing the CIA’s use of torture on detainees held in secret facilities. Senator Diane Feinstein won—the one sided report was released.

In the latter case, many overlooked the fact that the report is a result of a ten year—$40 million investigation into acts approved by the former president, which passed muster in the justice department, and was sanctioned by both houses of Congress.

Many have forgotten that those actions had already been outed during the Abu Ghraib Scandal in 2003 when U.S. soldiers were overly aggressive in their use of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques on Iraqi prisoners. Preceding the omissions, The Nation’s cover story on March 31 of the same year was titled, “In Torture We Trust?” The assertion was that torture was gaining acceptance among the mainstream in the age of 9/11. Hearings were held, reprimands, discharges, and criminal charges were levied.

In 2004, a nonpartisan, independent review of interrogation techniques in the years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks concluded that “it is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture”

In 2008, a Congressional bipartisan report established that harsh interrogation techniques used by the CIA and the U.S. military were directly adapted from the training techniques used to prepare special forces personnel to resist interrogation by enemies that torture and abuse prisoners as a matter of practice.

In 2009. President Obama signed an executive order requiring the CIA to use only the 19 interrogation methods outlined in the United States Army Field Manual. The Obama administration also granted legal immunity to Bush administration officials involved in sanctioning and ordering use of the banned interrogation methods.

Question: Why was it important to release a report that has been discussed, investigated, and settled, on the same day the opening hearings are to take place in the House Oversight Committee?

Answer: Jonathan Gruber.

While “Don’t be a Gruber,” will most likely become part of the vernacular, Gruber’s statements have placed the White House in the position to question, “How “stupid” is the American Public?” Their miscalculation may be that the American citizens are not stupid but more likely ignorant, unaware of the details because of the deliberate obfuscation at the hands of the Obama Administration. Transparency was not part of the marketing strategy.

However, looking through semi-rose-colored glasses, I see a tide of ebbing interest as more and more citizens, with and without prior healthcare insurance, are discovering the misinformation, also referred to as a bill of goods. In fact, many can’t keep their healthcare plans, they can’t keep their doctor, their premiums have increased not decreased, and Obamacare is a tax. Indeed, 18 separate tax hikes, fees, and penalties, many impacting the middle class have been imposed. And the death blow for the next succession of generations is that Obamacare will not reduce the deficit by paying for itself.  Currently, with an $18 trillion national debt that is 70% higher than it was in 2009, there is no downward trend projected in the foreseeable future. All promises made to the American people were never intended to be kept.

How clever of the Administration to release a 600 page executive summary citing torture techniques imposed by the U.S. on our enemies at the exact time Gruber was being questioned about the lies of Obamacare. Across the media the gist of the report was relayed and Senator Feinstein’s blathered her justification for the report.  And although there was barely a mention that the report took 10 years and $40 million to produce. Or that releasing the report put 6000 military men and women around the world on high alert for fear of retaliation…or using retaliation as an excuse for violence toward Americans—it provided a sizeable distraction from the hearing in The House. That may prove to be another grave miscalculation.

In reality, what happened over ten years ago is of lesser importance to the low-to-middle income earners than Jobs and the after-effects of Obamacare. The “Gruber” hearings may shed some light and or at a minimum defog the issues.

Clearly, it appears that there is some concern by the Administration that ignorance may slowly be replaced with reality.  Bliss is waning.

CHANGE IS GOOD

 

If you’ve wondered why I’ve been relatively silent, just know I haven’t been idle. A few months ago, at the behest of my publisher, David Dunham, I engaged the Nice Branding Agency to help give me a makeover.  At our first meeting, I announced that my favorite color is black and that I have been sporting the same shade of lipstick for over twenty years…you can imagine the response. Okay, so I had to be more open-minded or what was the point?…I reluctantly succumbed.

I hope you are admiring the photo above, but don’t stop with just a glance. Be sure to check out the whole website.  As you wend your way around, you’ll find many places to subscribe so you can stay up-to-date on the latest news, whether it be the next blog or a major announcement. And of course, there are the usual links to all the social networking sites where you can like, follow, and add me to your circles…oh, don’t forget, it is always nice to share. You’ll also discover that I’ve been up to more that just a rejuvenation…hmm…

WAIT…before you click!

In addition to returning to Italy at the beginning of the year, moving in to a new home, overseeing the new website and logo design, I’ve been busily working on my next novel, Redemption: Aftermath of The Simon Trilogy. So it morphed into a tetralogy…what can I say. Check the website where you can read all about Redemption that will be available for pre-order…you’ll be the first person I notify. But in the meantime, read the summary, then again that might just make you antsy waiting for the book release. Oh, risk it…

So life has been very busy of late, but in the end I had to admit…change is good! Thank you Nice Branding Agency.
