New books for Christmas and the New Year: An Open Xmas Letter to Friends

Dear Friends,

As Christmas time approaches and many of you will head out on vacation and not be checking your email, this is the time to wish you a Merry X’mas and a Happy New Year, and also to announce with delight my new publications, as well as to provide links for a few other favorite titles. I hope you consider bringing joy into someone’s life, and shopping at home or on your I-phone/I-pad/computer with a convenient click (on Amazon, the gold button on the top right side that says, “Gift It”—no charge to deliver an e-book):

I have survived a challenging year thanks to a few friends, and perhaps a certain buffalo-like stubbornness within me. I have continued to focus on writing, though first concentrating on e-books as my turnaround strategy, because, theoretically, there are no gatekeepers, and if just 1% of the owners of Kindles and I-pads worldwide were to try even a single book of mine, my luck would change.(Meanwhile, I am grateful to have a comfortable bed to sleep in and food on the table.) The ultimate goal is to be financially free so I can complete  the important and serious works in progress.

Thank you, and all good wishes for the new year,

Richard Crasta
