    I've published 8 books with over 2 million readers now, and have had more than two dozen editors, reviewers, and beta readers. Chris is, by far, the very best! He really does go above and beyond to dig into the material and provide useful feedback. He has strengthened my journey in immeasurable ways and I'm sure he'll strengthen yours too :-)

    Chris had already worked on two following books in this series, and I figured I'd give the first book the same quality treatment. I'm happy that, with Chris' help, I can now bring "my first child" up to the level of the books that followed.

    Chris was a pleasure to work with. I felt that his military, specifically his Marine Corps experience was vital to this project.
