Friends, Family, Associates, and readers of my new book,

Leading up to my Sunday, March 30 presentation and book signing at Books & Books, South Florida experienced the largest thunder-lightening-rain storm of the year.

With pre-event RSVPs cancelling, I was willing to accept a low turnout.

However, to my pleasant surprise, between 40-50 weathered the storm to come and hear me speak and purchase and have me sign my memoir. I was most flattered, gratified, and appreciated all who braved the storm.

Thank you.
