The cover design made it more real. The novel is out with the editor and I am inching toward the release of the book. I am about to enter the uncharted (for me) territory of self-publishing. Well, that’s not quite true because I have been publishing my music for years, but book publishing is another world. One filled with ivy league graduates who majored in English literature. So here I am, an ESL imposter who should know her limitations. And yet I feel compelled to bring this story to the world because it had come upon me with such freakish intensity that I could not rest until I wrote down everything it wanted to tell me. I don’t pretend to be a full-time writer and I don’t have time for a lengthy marketing campaign but I know that, by the word of mouth, the story will reach those who need to read it.
