This represents years of dedication and hard work. An intelligent mind and determined perseverance. I met Shanthi about 4 or 5 years ago. Here's the tenuous link: She is the wife of the husband my husband roomed with whilst at Imperial College. When I last spoke to her, about 2 years ago, she was talking about the phase of book writing when you get to name your masterpiece. Her dilemma then was how to grab people as they walk by the many shelves of many books at the bookshop. How do you stand out? What words will capture a person's attention enough to cause them to reach up, grasp the book in their hungry little hand, and proceed to leaf through its pages?
I think the cover image and the title are enough to snag anyone looking for something intelligent, entertaining, and wonderfully written to read. I am reserving my copy at Amazon.
Happy New Year. I love your work--keep it up!

Wow. Thanks. I see it all the time so I guess I just sort of fall out of love with it and think I can always do better.
