Developing Your Philosophy of Living and Leading One Moment at a Time
Maureen K. LeBoeuf, EdD
Maureen spent 28 years in the U.S. Army, where she held various staff and leadership positions, as well as flying UH-1 helicopters in the continental United States and Europe. Most noteworthy was her assignment as the Professor and Head of the Department of Physical Education from 1997 until her retirement in 2004. Her position carried the unique title “Master of the Sword.” She was the first woman to chair a department chair at the U.S. Military Academy since it was founded in 1802. Upon her retirement, Maureen was advanced to the rank of Brigadier General. Recently, Maureen served as the Executive Director of the Feagin Leadership Program at Duke Sports Medicine.

The book will probably be a 6x9 paperback, but it's 75K words, so it will be thick. You MUST use these 3 colors:
US Army Gold Athletics - HEX Color: #D4BF91
Black - HEX Color: #000000
Grey - HEX Color: #B2B4B3
We're looking for something very much like this: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/th…EALw_wcB#/ but with 3 colors.
She will want an image of a SABER (Google "saber sword" for ideas) across the front cover, handle toward the lower left corner, point toward the upper right. The SABER should look like this (without the knight, etc.) http://ncaa-football.wikia.com/wiki…nights.jpg
She will want a small crest image on the back cover. We will supply the crest (it's attached). You should design the sword.
She likes font styles that are all caps (initial caps using all-cap fonts) and really stoic.
Just stick to the colors and remember she's from the US Army.
