I am a 46 year old woman living in Mumbai; India. Am the proudest mother of 20 year old twin boys. Needless to say, have always been an avid reader and more recently an adventurous reader too. Like to be challenged where my reading is concerned and so am dwelling wholeheartedly into different genres with abandon and an open mind.

    Hi Aarti,

    Glad the book reached you safely.

    Do you mean the emails?

    The bad punctuation in the emails is deliberate and acknowledged in the book.

    Hi Aarti,

    Sorry to hear your book is delayed. Hear Book Depository are pretty good and get books to their destination. Hope it's a matter of time.

    Keep me posted.

    Fingers crossed!

    Hi Aarti,

    Thanks so much for taking a gamble on a new author. I hope you enjoy STOP ME and let me know what you think. It's pure escapism.

    Will talk to my publisher about an Indian edition.

    Kind regards,

    Richard

    great! though i doubt you get all teary eyed at babies and sunny afternoons and thinking about all the wonderful people i have known. i can even get all emotional about an old song, or a line in a book!

    thanks! very interesting comments. buddhism played a role in where i have ended up... so far.. life is a journey, so i would never say i found any "final truth!"

    Welcome to Better than Starbucks! Look around, make yourself at home, start a new thread or dig up an old one or just read and jump in on the more active ones.

    We are honored to be one of your first groups!

    Thanks for your note. STOP ME is a dark, shadowy book rather than being graphic or too bloody. See some Shelfari reviews for more info.

    Kind regards,

    Richard
