Hey there, folks. Welcome back. As you know, I like books. I write books. I even on occasion have read a book or two. But right now, I do something else with books. I publish books. Yes, I have an imprint. It is called Odysseus Books.

And we are publishing, I guess the category is books that I like.

If I find something and I go, you know what, that should be a book.

Can we publish that?

And I think the first book that we're publishing under Odysseus is by somebody who's been a friend of mine for 20 years until yesterday when he hurt my feelings.

Just kidding.

His name is Peter Gersh and he is the author of the first book that we're publishing.

It's called Talking of Michelangelo,

Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell in the Burgundy region.

Peter Gersh, friend, author, welcome.

Thank you, Eric.

It's great to be here.

I mean, I have to tell the story because people don't know the story.

And it's, you know, the book is new.

And I've always known you.

I've known you for so many years as a Christian, as a brother in Christ, as a friend, as a business guy, not as a

writer.

And about four years ago, as often happens, people think, well, Eric's a writer.

Maybe he can help me with this writing project.

And so you reached out to me and you said you had this book that you'd written and you sent me the

manuscript and it came at a time where I was just unable to breathe.

I don't know.
