Hi hi Rik, yeah, sorry, I so seldom get any messages in Goodreads I never check. But am doing so regularly now. I am most keen to hear what you thought of the Story so far. :) :D

Hi Caterina, sorry I missed the notification for the question. Thanks on the profile pic, it's an art rendering of a photo of me I made with photo manipulation program. There's a bit of a story behind how it came to be. I came to social media late, only four years now, and at the time I have no photographs of myself, so I used a cropped pic of one of my game avatars. With the book we needed to have actual pics but by that time a bit of mystique had built up around my profile pic, and since my posts include art in similar styles, it all fit together resulting in that picture. :)

OUT BS! flowed from a long extended ongoing discussion between Elevia and I regarding the topic of Bullshit-manipulator-narcissists, of whom we had had extended interaction. We had been involved in publishing The Biella Series novels, quite a few of which were already written, but, we felt something was missing, a preamble, a build up. The stage needed setting as it were. The Biella series is the culmination, not the beginning. Thus The Realism Series was born, with OUT BS! the first published book in that series. Two more will follow soon, an Ask Biella book and More related to OUT BS!, with The Philosophy of Opposite also in the works.
OUT BS! was originally titled The Cancer of Bullsh!t based on our perception of its destructiveness. Elevia is fiercely moved by the plight and struggle of those in relationships with BMN, a term she coined long back from observations and interaction with these deluxe bullshitters. These everyday villains are the inspiration, but actually, the chief inspiration cames from that huge and earnest desire of Elevia's to share her Understanding and insight in the BMNs with those needing to deal with them. especially in the light of our current world.
