Hello Reader,
I redesigned the cover for my book. (Everyone on the Wait List knows why, I emailed them about it last week.) It took some time on 99 Designs, but I think the end result is worth the extra sweat.
The world is going to see this book cover when it launches on the 12th of August. But if you want to see the new cover of my book right away, I reveal it in this YouTube video.
Take a look, and give a like and subscribe while you're over there. I plan to produce more video content this year.
