The galley proofs of Beyond The Obvious have arrived!
A box arrived this week and what do you think was inside? The galley proofs of the book!

Its hard to believe that the book is almost done.  What started as an email in the spring of 2010 from the person who eventually became my agent, the project is nearing completion.  If someone had told me how much work it takes to write book, I might have had second thoughts before starting.

Now comes the long wait for the hardcover and digital versions to be released.  The book is currently available for pre-order with a worldwide release scheduled for February 7, 2012.
