Remember, books make great gifts, especially signed copies of Course Change!
February 9, 2024: I received my personal copies of Course Change. It was simply other-wordly to hold the book in my hands after working on it for over 12 years. It was also the 60th anniversary of The Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and I hit the 15 gallon mark with my blood donation at the Red Cross blood drive at Waterford Town Hall that day. Nice trifecta, I'd say!
