Book PublishedFor the past four or five years I have been expressing myself, as an Artist, through writing articles and letters to the editor.I have recently self-published, I am published with i AuthorHouse an on-line publishing business. Book TitlePicture This...a literary collection of articles written about the social conditions in the US Virgin Islands with a universal perspective. Picture This... is not the kind of book that the reader will sit and read cover to cover.The book is arranged by subject matter which will cause the reader to have to take time to reflect on the message in each one of the articles.Now those responsible and guilty for all of the negative conditions and hardships caused by their self-serving, fraudulent, mismanaging, thieving, and wasteful deeds are like Vampires with No Reflections.http://bookstore.authorhouse.com/Products/SKU-000586784/Picture-This.aspxSince the majority of the articles that are in the book anyone can read what I have written on-line, so for most there is no need for a book, then others will prefer to have it in book form. It is a big world out there, and I believe that the Virgin Islands will be a hot topic in the near future.For me as an Artist this book represents closure, I have nothing more I want to spend time saying.I remember asking one of my art professors, a sculptor/ceramist, what was his best work of Art? He responded by saying that his teacher told him that his teacher told him that it was his next one.I decided instead of investing in the stock market, I am investing in myself. So with your help in spreading the word, I will also be able to invest in others.I believe-in and live by the ripple effects of sharing with those around me not the trickle-down effect of letting others bare the bulk of sacrifice. Thank you in advance,Ivan
