2011- A MILESTONE YEAR – A PERSONAL REVIEW

Ah, here we are at year end and a good time to look back on the year before moving ahead into the New Year. For me personally, it was one of those milestone years that don’t happen every year like this one. I quit my technology sales job I had been working at for seven years in April. At the same time, my novel Overland was published in India. Putting two and two together was easy: go to India to promote the book and more importantly, to shed years of toiling in the corporate world behind me. Being India was easy to do just that. The ten weeks I spent there was an incredible adventure in an incredible country. I even became a bit of an author celebrity with various splashes in the India media. But more importantly, I was able to restore the me in me again.

India will do that for a person, a country so rich in spirituality and diversity so unlike our own in the west. And I made many new friends along the way that fortunately with our dear Facebook, we can stay in touch with each other as often as either one of us wants to say hello and Namaste. I had an a amazing time in Kathmandu, Nepal as well and want to give a shout out to Nepal, a country I love so dearly.

So what will happen in 2012? I’ve a few things that are pending going into the new year that gets me exited every time I think of the possibilities: currently my novel Overland is being adapted to a screenplay with the prospects of TV or film production of a story so near and dear to my heart. Not just because I wrote it, but because those that have read it love it, and I’d really like the rest of the world get to know this unbelievable romantic adventure. I am also close to signing with a literary agent to represent my book and future books to be published by mainstream traditional publishers for wider exposure. Both of these events will make 2012 another milestone year. Now my only hope is that the Mayans are wrong and 2012 comes and goes peacefully and that life will go on. Happy New Year in 2012 and thank you for being friends with me on that 800 million member website!
