The Lotus Effect

"The Lotus Effect" will be released in the fall of 2010 by New Harbinger Publications.  In the months to come I will be posting more about this project.  The book was just signed into existence with Ms. Melissa Kirk, the New Harbinger acquisitions editor.  The final manuscript is due in 3 months (by end of January 2010)... so I have exactly 3 months to procrastinate, huh?
