Congratulations on your publication. I will certainly try to obtain a copy. It will be interesting to trace history through humor–a certainly unique approach.
I have three books presently out: They are inspirational and geared to promote literacy. Children of the Promise, Children of the New Covenant are biblical trilogies. Princess Tamar’s Tears covers the topic of biblical abuse and is geared to help women and youths who are cognizant of abuse. I find Guyanese literature very enjoyable and can’t wait to get your book. Best wishes!
Hi Wayne,
Congratulations on your achievement, my curosity is piqued but there is one problem. Where can I obtain a copy?
I reside in Western Australia and find books published in the West Indies difficult to obtain.
