WordServe Water Cooler 
I released my first book (On Track – Life Lessons from the Track & Field) late in April. Sales in May were good. For me, this is reason to celebrate. I’m excited to pursue future writing adventures, and this has been a great way to kick off my entrance into the world of being an author.
