Although the Parliament did not act on Equiano’s request‚ just by starting from such a high point brings people’s attention. And also he knew that by having the support of aristocratic figures‚ more and more people would take an interest in him and his book. This brings me to another point on the tactics that Gustavus Vassa used. Having prominent names in the list of subscribers and given Vassa support could have given‚ or did give the English people security on what they were reading‚ if it was interesting

am still reading Ophelia Speaks by Sara Shandler. When I first started reading the book I was very interested in it but as I got further in reading the book personally I feel like it gets more depressing. They are all stories about how people have messed up in their lives in many different types of ways or the people’s family issues. It is a good way to learn what not to do‚ which will help some people. But‚ this book for me it is very boring because I would like to read something that is more entertaining

Why do you like to weave some suspense into your books instead of doing pure romance? I honestly believe its just because that is what I like to read. 7. Between juggling a career and your personal life‚ how do you manage to make time to write? Now that I’m an empty nester‚ it’s a bit easier.
