About this book
When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit, like many Americans I
was forced to stop working completely due to the
understandable restrictions placed to curtail the spread of
the deadly virus. I found myself, for the first time in my life,
unable to make a living. Luckily, I live in a country that
wasn't going to stand by and watch folks like me lose my
home and belongings, and the government created ways to
provide relief so that I could continue my life, what was left
of it anyway, without imminent gross personal hardship.
With the time afforded me, it was obvious that this might
be the only time I ever get to write the book I always
wanted to write. I sat down one day and started the outline
— and 14 hours later it was finished. After about a week
and a half of 12-18 hour days, I had a first draft. This, my
third draft is publishable, but I'm sure the book will remain
a work in progress for the rest of my life.
Although I need financial sustenance to live like anyone
else, I did not write this book to make money — I wrote it
to contribute something positive to the community of
human beings. If you found yourself with this book free of
charge, and actually found that it was worth something to
you, please feel free to donate monetarily to my PayPal
account at alan@alaniglesias.com. It will help defray the
cost of self-publishing and may even help with an electric
bill or two.
The bottom line is that, in my life, I am only happy when
the folks around me are happy. If this book enriched your
life, in even the smallest possible way, then it was all worth
it to me. Thank You for taking the time to read it.
