Book-Related Resources
First: a really cool deal. Here’s how to get paperback copies of my books for free. No, this is not one of those bogus “but you pay shipping charges” scams. This is the actual paperback book, signed by me, and delivered at no cost to you.
If you have already bought one of my books, then you have access to the forms, practical exercise and so on related to those books, plus some supplementary materials and videos as I find them and add them, at the Simmer Community website.
