« Napoleon Book Deal Done! | Main | 'Gehrig & The Babe' No. 1 New Release »

January 01, 2018

Happy New Year!

May everyone be blessed with happiness, answered prayers and fulfilled dreams in the coming year. Happy New Year's wishes and in the words of one of my favorite writers, Simone de Beauvoir: Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay... Change ta vie aujourd'hui. Ne pariez pas sur le futur, agissez maintenant, sans délai.
