A peek at three new book covers
Though it’s not quite as exciting as, say, today’s elections here in the US, we’re thrilled to show off the covers of our next three books.
We’ve really enjoyed partnering with The Heads of State on cover design, and are looking forward to the family continuing to grow.
We can automatically notify you when each is available for sale (and, as a thanks for your early interest, we’ll send you a nice discount). Take 20 seconds and sign up for notifications here (at the bottom of the page).

The Rosenfeld Media main page has a new look that emphasizes both our books (something we didn’t have when we originally launched the site, of course) and their authors. Although this new design won’t scale indefinitely, we hope it will last us for another year or two, which is plenty long in this industry. Kudos to our designer Dave Shea, who continues to make sure that we look good and work well.
