Well, you know what Eleanor Roosevelt said, right?
“Do one thing every day that scares you.”
When I was a mass communication major, I realized very quickly that I like being behind the camera more than I like being in front of it, which is why I gravitated toward writing. So, here I am taking a big leap and doing a little video about my upcoming book.
That’s right…I’m trying to take my book promotion to the next level. LOL.
Anyway, here’s the video about the new book that’s coming in July.
I really hope you like it.
