Persistence does pay off. Winter of 2013, I was approached with a proposal to collaborate on a book. I have never considered myself an author since the business of writing allows one to sit for hours writing, which is contrary to my personality. However, as any good challenge, I decided, why not, and took it on. Democracys Hypocrisies was born, the brainchild of Jeffers Joseph. He is passionate about law, politics, forensics, and crime solving, and as such, he decided to turn this passion into writing. I have always been a socially conscious individual; therefore, once I started doing the research on the various topics for the book, I realized that my passion for the book also grew. In July, Democracys Hypocrisies was published. Because of the controversial nature of the book, I literally chickened out and did not put myself as co-author, no matter how much Jeff insisted. It made me realize that the very same hypocrisy that we addressed in the book, I was guilty of engaging in. Well, writing a book entails significant marketing, and as part of our marketing strategy, we embarked on a mission of mailing copies of the book to various media outlets and influential people. Since the book is centered around President Obamas presidency, we also sent a copy to him and his wife. Yesterday, we received a letter of acknowledgement from the White House expressing gratitude for the book that was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Obama. More than anything, this letter validates all the hard work that was involved in making Democracys Hypocrisies a reality. We both are aware that there is still much work ahead; moreover, any success obtained will be Dominicas success also. I am honored that Jeffers Joseph selected me to co-author this memorable work. He is a naturally talented and gifted author, and I have no doubt that he will continue to produce fantastic work. Check out his other works: Money, Misery, and Murder and Friends with Deficits.
