“The book proof arrived today and it really looks great! Maria came to my house and we give this a “good to go to print” thumbs up!
Please give the team a big thank you from me and Maria. We would not consider going anywhere else to have our work published. Everyone at MindStir Media involved with the publication of our book treated us like we were the only clients. The attention to detail, patience, kind replies to our endless emails and quick responses were very much appreciated.
Maria and I look forward to working with you and the team on “The Long Ride,” the next book in our series.”
