Updates regarding my current project
I’m going to do my best to provide a monthly progress report on the Milwaukee Brewers book. I have been told by the publisher there may be some quiet periods after I turn the manuscript over and we move toward publishing, but things will be happening behind the scenes. I will still offer an update…
