This Week’s Post and Activity

I’ll be presenting a short case study on a local company I recently met in the natural food -gluten-free sector.  I also sent off to the editor last week a book my wife and I will be publishing in February 2012.  I am learning a lot about publishing, both print and e-book.  We are working on the marketing strategy now.

 

For Fun

A few images I took last week.
