I’m very pleased to announce that Rack Toys the Print edition is totally sold out. It’s gone and not returning to print any time soon.

However, I feel like there is still a story to tell and I’m happy to say that the new E-book version of Rack Toys will debut just before Christmas 2017. It will be expanded with approximately 20 new pages of exclusive content and goodies.

This has been a wonderful, rewarding journey that I totally encourage you to go on should you feel you have a book in you. Seriously, go for it, it will change your life for the better.

Follow my progress on the Rack Toys Facebook page or follow me on twitter for daily updates.
