To My Dearest Followers,
This is a very Special Note of Thank You to all of you who have supported me from the time I picked up my pen to compose my first word in my blog. Although I do not have a mind boggling number of followers, but the quality of your encouragements through all your comments as well as emails have prompted me to send across my humble collection of short stories to a handful of reputed publishers in India. Now, 2 months later, my first collection of short stories which I have named “Strange Connections” is underway. The editing & the cover design work is going on and the earliest the book is expected to hit the market will be in December.
I would especially like to thank Legacy who inspired me to write again after a ten year break from creative writing. I have also mentioned the following people in my acknowledgements :
Drachma – For being the first to encourage me and always being my ardent reader.
Psycho Basher – For the complete and unconditional support.
Cayman – For always being there and for giving meaning to my writings.
And to all those whom I have not mentioned, every single word from you has been my inspiration to reach out & connect to a nameless stranger who knows me intimately through my writings.
Thanks for all the inspiration guys. You all are simply wonderful!
With Love,
JM 99
Congratulations, I knew you were a great writer (:
ReplyDeleteReally amazing, you are indeed a gifted writer and I'm happy for you. :) Would it be possible for me to order a copy of the collection when it comes out for myself here in the States?
ReplyDeleteI am unabashedly tearing up with joy and excitement for you sis! You have the gift. It is criminal not to share it.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud to be your "soul sister!"
Booyah!
It's your stories that are truly inspiring. The wisdom and insight you share with your lyrical style has been an inspiration to me. But you knew that already, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteP& L, thanks, baby!
ReplyDeleteDiego, yes my book will be available in all the leading sites including Amazon. I will update you when its launched & thanks for all your words of encouragement!
Psycho, I expected nothing less than "Booyah" from you sis.
Cay, oh Cay!There's so much I never knew that I already knew since forever!
My Dear Maggie, I knew that you had it all the time - that certain something, which sets you apart from the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for my own copy!
Dear Drachma, see what I mean by encouragement? Thanks, once again!
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up on old posts...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
