Happy Memorial Day everyone! Today we take a moment to remember those who courageously gave their lives and those who bravely fight today for freedom.

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” — Joseph Campbell

I’m also grateful today to just be able to spend the holiday relaxing with my family – and I’m super excited to announce the winners of the pre-order promotion for Joshua and the Lightning Road! Thank you all for participating.
