Welcome Rohvannyn to the group.

I liked what I saw in the blurb about Quests of the Avatar: Seeking Virtue in the modern world. I think you should read a lovely book by the author of Fountain Head, Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand's book The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism where she details the kind of ideology she shared in the her famous books.


If you are interested, I would like to do a spotlight on you at my blog. Please check out the link to the post about it as per the link below...

... and let me know.

Over a period of some years, I have been writing reviews of new authors at my blog which has more than Half Million hits and read by 700+ readers every day. Initially I reviewed most of my friend’s book but now I would like to do so more comprehensively, in order to help new authors to reach out to their target audience.

Hence I started a regular feature at my blog “Shadow Dancing With Mind“, displayed at the top right corner of my blog as SPOT LIGHT to promote new authors and help them to reach their target audience.

It is for FREE but I intend to be very selective about the books I going to feature in the SPOTLIGHT and give an honest review, as and when I do it.

Please check out the below post for the process...

How To Write A Book? - A Serious Guide for Aspiring Authors

How to write novels and books…
I have read Milan Kundera’s (Czech Republic's most recognized living writer, who has lived in exile in France since 1975, who has been nominated numerous time for Noble Prize) most famous book ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’ almost two decades ago. And then recently I came across his two other books ‘Testament Betrayed’ and ‘TheArt of Novel’, which I have been reading last week. Interestingly, both the books were kind of a powerful DIY of ‘Novel Writing’ which gave me an idea to create a kind of Guide for “Writing novels” for the aspiring authors based on his selected thoughts from both the books.
