Exactly two years ago on the 39th week of the year, I started formalizing my ideas about an idea I had about the overuse of the word "empower." It was with my first developmental editor in the Creator Institute at Georgetown University that I fleshed out the skeleton of what would, eventually, become a book.

192 pre-sale supporters, four phases of revisions, 15 beta readers, over 20 "book people" (editors, proofreaders, designers), and 252 pages later, here we are. Thank you, so so much, for your support!

ME POWER IS OUT! 

The “Kindle edition” of Me Power can be downloaded via the Kindle app and read on any mobile device, tablet, or computer.

The paperback is still in production, but my publisher released the eBook early so we could celebrate both milestones together. For the first 30 days, it’s priced at the promotional value of $1.99.

GRAB YOUR COPY

For those of you who are like me and prefer reading physical copies of books, they’re on the way! I was told that things are on schedule and I am supposed to receive the paperback versions in time for the book launch. The first copies are reserved for those of you who supported the pre-sale campaign back in November. Once I open my first box of books, I plan to sign them and have them ready for pick up at the November Launch Party. If you’re unable to attend in person, the books will be shipped to you.

Have you RSVP’d for the November launch party at BrickRose Exchange in Baltimore? Mimosas and other Me Power Mocktails will be served.
