Hi everyone. Alexei Maxim Russell here. My thanks for reading my work. I do read every review, and appreciate every insight. And I enjoy reading the negative reviews just as much as I enjoy reading the positive, so feel free to speak your mind. I'm often more fascinated by what the review tells me about the psychology of the reader than I am in the review itself. I think that all writers are fascinated by people, in this way. This is, in fact, the first book I ever wrote, which explains, to some extent, the wild and hyperactive nature of the plot. However, I got enough compliments on it and enough hard core fans, among my various literary contacts, that I decided to publish it. Feel free to ask me questions. I look forward to your feedback. Cheers.
