"I’m an optimist at heart. That’s not the cool thing to say, I know. For some reason people love a good nihilist. They love someone who shakes their fist at the powers that be, blaming someone else for all their problems."

Nihilists shake their fists, optimists throw them.

Going to order this, sounds up my alley! And props for highlighting a self published book! I’m sure there are so many great ones out there, want to read more. Plus, I’m considering this route for my WIP too and this is all very inspiring!

Alex, congratulations on your book! The numbers are great and you're on the way. I've been both self-published and commercially published. I've desperately wanted a commercial house for my latest, but there doesn't seem to be any interest. Your success has pushed me a little closer to going the Amazon KDP route once again.

Thank you for your encouraging words!
