You and Ernesto were instrumental in helping me shape this project in its initial stage. It has grown even more since then and I’m proud to announce that it will be published by BearManor Media next year.

Thanks so much for finding Mike. Whether by luck or design, this simply wouldn’t have been published without his input…. I put in the work, but if Mike hadn’t been involved, both with the book and the proposal, then it wouldn’t have been published.
