You're Not Playing with a Full Deck

Book Cover – And Subtitle Reveal

On April 21, 2026, my 8th book, You’re Not Playing with a Full Deck, will be published. 

After months of effort and hundreds of iterations of the cover, I am thrilled to share the final cover and new subtitle for the book.

One night, I woke up and realized that being an “ace up the sleeve” is a great metaphor.

Although I am using the ace up the sleeve expression on the back cover’s text, I felt the subtitle needed something that better described the outcome. The benefit.

So the book’s new subtitle is Why the Coworkers Who Drive You Crazy Are Your Unfair Advantage.

In one of my next posts, I will talk about the process I went through to get to the final cover. It’s been a long journey.

Thank you to everyone who helped me!
