It’s always a good day when a fellow writer lifts you up — and today, Pooja from Lifesfinewhine did exactly that. She shared my review of her debut novel Perfect and even gave a nod to The Jim Garraty Chronicles. That kind of kindness deserves a spotlight of its own.

Pooja’s blog is one of those rare corners of the internet where sincerity hasn’t gone the way of the dodo. She writes with clarity, humor, and heart, and her debut novel reflects all three. If you haven’t checked out her work yet, consider this your nudge.

Thanks again, Pooja. Indie authors don’t have PR departments — we have each other.
