I am presently working with Freisen Press to finalize the cover and the "About the Author" section as well as the forward. So much to do.

I have an autograph from Ben ready to be stamped but I will also write a few words. I know I'll be bringing the book on my next ride. Maybe I'll send a copy to Mr. Peart. Comments are closed.
