“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

If a bunch of people can get Betty White to host Saturday Night Live seems like we can make a great book(s) a bestseller.

Namaste Tony, I appreciate being included among your friends. Want to wish you the best with your work and in all other things as well. Hope to get a chance to read one of your mysteries one day. They do look intriguing. If you have an interest in spirituality, I'd ask you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man for your reading list. It's experimental and fictional, but it's inspired by real events from my life.
Thanks again, Jesse
Feb 21, 2012, G'Day USA will be free on Amazon (Kindle version). This is my latest book and a follow on to G'Day L.A.. Please download, read it and offer your comments in the form of a review.
My treat.
Cheers,
Tony
