The Lead

Loi Kroh Road at night

I'm a professional ghostwriter and was searching for a book to write and or polish. A colleague of mine sent me an email asking if I would be interested in this book.

I read a chapter and was astonished. The book was unbelieveably good. I created a second draft of what I read and sent it to the writer. He was pleased. At that point, he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Would I collaborate with him on this book?

My answer? Well, you are reading a blog about the journey that the two of us are taking on this book. My writing partner is located in Beijing, China and I am located in Nashville, TN USA.

Unusual? I suppose so, although the internet has established some incredible achievements. This book is one of them.

So, come along for the journey. We'll all walk upon the mystical road of Loi Kroh Road and discover the answers to some age old questions. When this book is published and you have had a chance to read it, you will never be the same.

That's a promise.
