Dear —
Greetings from northwest England, and a warm welcome to you as a new member of my Travel & Memoir Readers List.
I'm so glad you took up a copy of My Portable Paradise, a book I wrote while house-sitting in Costa Rica. If you have found blessing in it, I would love to have your review here at Amazon US or wherever you buy books. This is enormously helpful for an independent author.
And if you do post a review, let me know in reply to this email, so that I can also enroll you in a separate Reviewers List. This grants privileged access to review copies of other books and audiobooks.
If you haven't come across my work before, by way of introduction I am a British-American author, inspired by the Old Testament, Shakespeare, and the greatest masterpiece of the English language, Paradise Lost, the epic poem by John Milton. (And I say this as a man who lives, loves, and breathes Shakespeare!) And it is Milton I most seek to emulate in my own epic poems, Elijah and Obama's Dream.
I have worked in marketing, financial analysis, journalism, broadcasting, education, and the performing arts. Along the way, I have been chewed up and spat out by the corporate systems of the UK, US, and China, and now live in a recently purchased campervan, in which I plan to tour Europe.
Speaking of China, I will soon release the first of five memoirs about my adventures there over 10 years. Entitled Dispatches From Chengdu, the book started life as a series of updates emailed to friends in the U.S. and became the first installment in my Dueling the Dragon Collection.
So again, welcome to my Travel & Memoir Readers List. You are right welcome and honored, and I'll be in touch again soon.
Blessings,
Abdiel LeRoy
