LTGPA Launches!
After nine months of work with our editing and design team, the project has officially come to fruition. A while back Cat Shuler and I, the literary and publishing GENIUSES and SAVANTS behind Mind Harvest Press, made a numerological decision and chose 1/17/17 as the publication date for our first book release, Let the Glory Pass Away… and […]
