Nothing in this world comes easy, and being a well-known writer is one of them. Writing a book, despite all the attendant challenges is the easy part.

Getting recognized, being read, that is the real stumbling block, especially if you do not have the power of a publishing behemoth and their marketing budget behind you. A writer is not made in a day, without an effort. S/he is a product, created, gift-wrapped, and marketed by the industry.

Publicity, like attention is hard; Hard to get, hard to retain, without resorting to tricks. I don't really like too much attention, but anonymity is a luxury I cannot afford. That said, I am going to persevere with this endeavour, since I would like this book to go out into this world, and touch those people's hearts it is meant to touch.

There will be no tricks played here. No one will be forced to read. Those who come to this page come of their own free will, and are free to speak their minds. I wish for honest reviews, honest comments and honest ratings. There is nothing more that shall be asked of my readers.

Thank you.
