New Book Out

I have a new book out. They say that variety is the spice of life and in my new book you will find no ghosts nor paranormal happenings. No, its a business book written with my business partner Patrick Reames. The book is called ETRM/CTRM Software Markets 2014 – A Year in Review.

It will be published by Asteroth’s Books
