I turned in the manuscript of Poisonwell yesterday to 47North. What comes next is rounds of editing, collaborating on cover art, formatting the final book, recording the audio version, all preceding the launch day of Feb 3, 2015. I can’t wait to share the final adventure with you. Feedback from
I read a great essay many years ago by a famous US Air Force pilot named John Boyd. He had a very interesting life and there’s a great book about him called Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War. Reading that book led me to pursue some
