Finally, the Cover!
I wish the book were in your hands sooner...
We had hoped that the first time you saw my book cover would be in your hands.
But I can’t hold it any longer. And I owe you a glimpse (…our little secret 🤫🤫)
🌬July 2020 was a whirlwind. Here’s why.
I handed in the final edits of my book for copyediting.
I flew home for my mother’s sixtieth birthday
I became an uncle
I received the edited manuscript….
Number 4 is where things fell apart.
When my editor scheduled a special team meeting, I knew something was up.
I received the news while sitting in my childhood home, over a Zoom call. This in itself was a bit strange, having written it over the years in Austin, San Francisco, and while traveling.
The news was, of course, not good — I wouldn’t be publishing on time.
But after a few minutes on that call, it struck me as strange that I wasn’t upset. I was relieved.
Why?
Not the CNN, MSNBC kind — the kind that forces me to solve difficult problems.
Would you rather have a team that tells you things are good when they aren’t? Or a team that helps you solve difficult problems?
I’m extraordinarily grateful for New Degree Press going to bat with me and telling me when I am wrong, and helping me find what’s right. It has been a more humbling experience than I ever could have imagined.
And now we are back on track…
So what’s next?
Stephanie and I make the FINAL (final) edits.
I release an article series about the book on Medium and Linkedin

Launch Season 2 of my podcast
Virtual book release event 🎊🎊
I would LOVE your input here:
Who should I contact to co-host the book launch event?
A novelist?
Non-fiction author?
YouTuber or Podcasters?
Someone else?
If an idea strikes, leave a name in the comments or reply to this email!
Then I’ll work some networking magic :)
Isn’t she a beaut?
A million thanks to Josip and Gjorgji at New Degree Press for their efforts on this.
Be well friends - look forward to hearing from you 🙏🙏
