Yesterday I announced that my booktrack for Into the Vast was available and I wanted to share briefly my initial Booktrack results (for more on what Booktrack is, see my original post). Honestly, I didn’t expect a whole lot of response because it was more or less an experiment. But I’ve been thrilled by the amount of …
Today I have a really cool announcement I’d like to share with you. As of today, the booktrack for Into the Vast is now available! What’s a booktrack, you ask?
