I've spent hundreds of hours working on this project, trying to make it as excellent as possible. This book is important, one of the most important pieces I've written yet.

If you're wondering how to get a book published without turning into a self-promoting sleaze, then this is probably for you.

The book (which I'll tell you more about later) is slated to come out soon.
