 Welcome to Maiava Books! In November 2009, the American Book Publishing Company contracted with me to publish my book, initially titled I Can't, I'm Mormon. This book was written over ten years and is a compilation of my experiences with non-members and their curiosity about the Mormon religion. Re-titled Mormons, Tall Tales and Truths, it is scheduled for release in early 2011.
When the official release date is available, we will post it here first!
