There are so many authors in the world---best sellers, self-published, Indie, ghostwriters and aspiring. Together it is estimated that they publish more than one million books a year.

Now imagine what it takes to be an Indie author, like myself, competing for your book lover's attention in the midst of 999,999,999 other books! My only hope is to find words to effectively describe how my books are different than the rest--- then find ways to entertainingly share those words with readers anywhere and everywhere.

I was inspired to undertake this project while watching the recent Golden Globes Awards. Stay with me here....

Towards the end of the show, Director, Chloe Zhao, accepted the Best Drama Award for her movie, "Hamnet." Though visibly stunned, she managed to eloquently explain her artist's passion for making movies. In listening to Zhao, I found myself relating to her words as they perfectly reflected why I write books---and especially why I wrote, ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜Š๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ

And as you read them, know that they represent everything I put into my books to share with you, from my very heart and soul.
