Wherever you are, I hope you are having a blessed Christmas. I'm having a great day remembering the sacrifice of a particular best friend in my life. Above the gifts, food, and carols, Christmas holds a special meaning in my heart. I hope it's the same for you too :)

This year's Christmas is a little different for me though, because... today is the start of the 10 days countdown to the end of the crowd-funding project. January 5th will be the day we find out if the book will be in bookstores. That's pretty soon! 

Currently, the project is still lacking $1,810. That's a lot to raise in the next 10 days, but I'm hoping it can be done. I might need an extra hand from you though. So please share this project for the last time with any friends who would like to support an indie author in going global.

Trying to break into the publishing industry as an independent author is not easy, but I'm hoping this would be the perfect stepping stone for me to do it. 2015 could be the year where my career as an author starts to roll, as this project could really help me push out the other 3 books I have just waiting to be released! It's a pretty big deal.

BUT success or failure aside, I'm amazed at the amount of funds we have raised so far. $5,890 is a lot of money! Being that the majority of you are from Malaysia, we have actually raised roughly RM20,600! Wow! I'm just really blessed and grateful that we've managed to come this far. Thank you so much for your support! The best Christmas gift this year is knowing that people believe in me and my dream. All the more reason to believe that dreams can come true, am I right?

Keeping it short and sweet; once again, a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thank you for your faith in me and thank you for believing with me. You'll definitely be hearing from me again soon. And I hope I would be delivering good news the next time :)
