As is my habit with all releases, I’m doing a signing for the paperback release The Godborn, which hits shelves on Tuesday, March 4th.
If you’d like an autographed copy of the paperback version of the book and live in the United States, then just Paypal me $14.50 (and I can still do signings for the hardcover, too, though that has an all-in cost of $32.00 to U.S. addresses). Include your shipping address, to … Read the rest
You can read my previous fitness posts here, including my early reviews of P90X3.
I purchased P90X3 when it came out and went six weeks into it. I like it a lot and recommend it. The workouts are tough and, at thirty minutes, are easy to fit into a busy schedule.
