Indeed, it is.

We have put our money where our heart is.

Some will see it as an act of complete folly, some as pandering to the ego, and some, a small group will see it with through compassionate eyes as the act of a man allowing his heart to truly beat.

Money – the love of such a thing, well we all know how that phrase goes.  It is many things, but it is indeed the lubricant that allows a life to exist in a modicum of comfort – and I’ve just taken a whole chunk of it to follow a dream.

“Happy talk, keep talkin’ happy talk, talk about things you’d like to do.  You gotta have a dream; If you don’t have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?” – Rodgers & Hammerstein take a bow.

Will I fall flat on my face, has my money gone to a complex and intricate scam artist?

I don’t know.

I can control what I can control – nothing more.

I NEED to publish, and this I am now going to do.

Life is the poorer for a lack of risk.

So, successful top ten paperback or not, my dream is in process.

Love those you can, tell them often that you do, and stay as safe and sane as life will allow.
