Words cannot fully express the joy I felt on February 23, 2023, as I looked out into the audience of 70 plus smiling faces at my book launch event at the Kanawha County Public Library. What a momentous day!

I am thankful to God for his inspiration, orchestration, and provision. I am grateful to my parents and extended family for their nurturing, love, and support. I thank my pastor for his mentorship, motivation, and the many opportunities he has given me to develop and shine. My publishing consultant was a gift and knowledgeable guide. Finally, I thank each of you for your kindness, encouragement, and acceptance.

Thank you for buying up all the 54 hardcovers (three cases) I had available for the launch event; even my family members went home empty-handed! Another shipment of hardcovers should arrive any day now and I recently received a shipment of 100 paperbacks. These shipments are for online purchases made during the pre-sale period and website orders placed on maximizingwithmichelle.com. I am happy that 50 paperbacks are earmarked for an anonymous donor who will gift them to area nonprofits. After a bit of a delay on the hardcovers, amazon.com now has all formats available. If you are interested in an
e-book, it is only available on Amazon. Additionally, copies of the book will soon be available at the Kanawha County Public Library.

Stay tuned for future in-person signing opportunities and book chats in West Virginia and beyond!
