The cream always rises to the top, and a truly good book will eventually sell if you put enough blood, sweat, and tears behind it. And it sounds like you have.

I can understand slightly your feeling re being in Eastern Europe - I only attended a trade fair in Brno, via Prague ... and was somewhat shattered to be constantly chaperoned by unknowns .. and trying to be coerced into doing other things ... it was interesting, but I was glad to get back to the West.<br /><br />Then again - who knew where chess would lead you - and all those postings... giving you food for characters, scenery, back stories etc .. the book sounds really interesting ... <br /><br />Stick with it - which you'll do now that you've had that epiphany ... keep writing and enjoying life .. cheers to you both and happy seasonal joys - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002680784886524881.post-91486408844430737532014-12-22T07:54:38.642-08:002014-12-22T07:54:38.642-08:00Thank you, Medeia and Yolanda.
