Signed A Five-Book Deal

In fact today marks the one-year anniversary of the writing initiative to reinvent blogging and diversify social media.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed.

A small New England Publisher (and a values-based organization) and I have been in publishing negotiations for several months now, shortly after returning from the World Championships in Finland.
