The White and Blue Hardcovers are Now Available!
Hiya Folks,
I'm VERY happy to announce that the White (William McAusland) and Blue (Stefan Poag) hardcovers are finally available at LULU for $14.99.
Check it out!
White Hardcover
Blue Hardcover
With this release, I am finally done!
I learned a lot, and there will be updates as needed. But for now, I'm closing it down and turning my focus to the next release.
Thanks so much for your patience if you were waiting for a White or Blue hardcover.
