Hey hey hey, The Live Drop is live. (imagine?) Mark and I talked about publishing, self-publishing, launches, etc. We covered just about everything you'd need to get started. And Mark put all the links in the show notes because he is pretty darn good like that. It was a fun discussion. As it should be, … Continue reading The Live Drop: At the coalface

It amused me …
I'm not even sorry I did it. Seriously, if someone is going to send me a "screenshot" of a 5-star review they "left" - do they think I'll be tripping over myself to praise them.
