Dear Friends,

This week I hope to have the book to a stage where it can be sent to the printer’s for a color proof. Once I get that back I will be able to make any corrections and then off to the printer.

You may or may not know, Jelal has given his blessing on the book. The final thing I need from all of you is to get your waiver, permission to have your photo in the book. I am looking at mid-May to send to the printer so hoping all are in by then. If not, I guess I take my chances. But the fact of the matter is I cannot think of one person who would not give their permission or have an issue with their photo appearing in the book.

As this process comes to an end, I know that it is just the beginning. Soon I will be releasing the information on how to purchase a special signed edition for pre-sale.

Thanks to all who have responded to the waiver request for photo publication. Please ignore this reminder if you have already complied with my request.

Enjoy this beautiful weather; I have a feeling it is going to be a hot summer!
